Just trips off the tongue, that title, doesn’t it? It does exactly what it says on the tin, though – a Fast & Furious (tenuously) themed Forza Horizon game. Oh, and it’s free. Yes, actually free. Presumably to tie in with the next The Fast and the Furious film, but aside from “the man in your ear” being Taj from the films, and a short montage of clips from the series, there’s not a lot of The Fast and the Furious …
Level 20 GET! All (two!) Korean cars GET! Amazing scenes. Mainly raced myself today, although I did hire a driver for a couple of races. Managed another hardest-settings race too, although it was on the same track as the last one so it wasn’t really that challenging. Braved the auctions again, mostly to get rid of some of the cars I have but don’t need, but won a few too, including a New Super Mario Bros Nissan Fairlady Z. I’m …
I’ve ranked up to Level 17 now, but I’m starting to run out of races to participate in. Some need me to buy a new car (which I tried doing via the auctions, but again they just frustrated me), but most need me to be on level 20. Raced a few more races, mainly by hiring drivers. It’s the game that plays itself! You earn in-game credits for sitting on the toilet. Excellent. I did drive a few myself though, …
It’s about time I went back to this for a bit. Why, then, did I spent a good 45 minutes doing nothing but watch my AI driver play two races for me, then spend ages trying to buy and sell cars? I didn’t actually do any driving. And it’s a bloody driving game. And the auction is broken, as you can’t specify a price you want to bid, making it all rubbish and long-winded when you’re buying. Pah.
Still plugging away at this. Decided to upgrade my Porsche 914 to the heady heights of Rank A, with a PI of 834 currently. I can’t see how to push it any further, unless a new engine (and then starting again with the upgrades associated with it) will help. Anyway, with that car I then took part in a couple of races, before deciding up up the opponent AI from Medium to Hard. Where “Hard” means “Cheating”, clearly. Suddenly, C …
Bought myself a heavy car, and finished off the Proving Grounds races. I’ve also upgraded some useless car I’m been given to make it S rank, given it a red and green paint job, and stuck it on the auctions to see if I can make a profit. I’m guessing not. Completed a few more races in the other serieseses too.
Plowed through more races today. I’m alarmed to see that not only have I not lost a race yet, but I haven’t actually finished in any position other than first. Even after crashing. Hmm. In an effort to improve the credits I get for each race, and to make it a little harder, I had a tweak with the difficulty settings, and now I don’t get any penalty for easiness. Not that it’s made much difference. In fact, since changing …

Despite only being dispatched at 3.30pm today, this had arrived in this morning’s post. Amazing. Now, I didn’t think a lot of the demo, but since Gamestation had the full game on offer for £15 (if you bought any other 360 game), it seemed silly not to get this and Dead or Alive Extreme 2 together for £30. £10 cheaper than getting Forza 2 on it’s own. And I’m glad I did, because it’s great. I’ve played through about half …
