I really enjoyed my time with Forza Horizon 2, so I was a little suspicious about going "backwards" and playing the original. I'd heard it was better than the second, so I knew it was worth a shot. It's great. It's amazing how well it holds up even by today's standards. The Xbox 360 era still looks good to me, and is far from "unplayable". I did find this game to a bit more "restrictive" than the Horizon 2 where you couldn't cut across fields to get to your destination, but the core of the game, the racing, is fantastic. I achieved first place in every race with only a handful of them giving me any real trouble on the default setting. The soundtrack was good, but I primarily played this while watching playoff baseball on a second screen. If you like racing games, this one is worthwhile and has me looking forward to picking up Horizon 3 on the cheap when I can find it on sale. Recommend.
