When you boot up the game, you'll get a montage of racing scenes for the Fast & Furious series (oddly missing any of the franchise's familiar faces, probably due to licensing rights). It's a welcome change, as I could listen to Ludacris tell me how awesome I am all day. Ludacris' replaces the upscale surfbro announcer that annoyed Jaz in the original Forza Horizon 2.
This is a step stone to something larger and grander there's even a button in the menu that takes you right to Forza Horizon 2's Xbox Store page for easy purchasing. The game does draw from the wide-open Nice landscape and the weather conditions from the Storm Island DLC, cramming all that goodness into a single, small package. There's no painting or tuning your vehicles in the garage. It spans only one city, Nice, and its countryside. I hate the Charger.įorza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious is part-demo, part-commercial. So last Friday, I downloaded the mini-expansion to see what Playground Games has whipped up. I previously praised the idea instead of making a brand-new title, why not graft promotional material onto a great existing title? It seemed like win for everyone. The DLC launched on March 27 and it'll be free on the Xbox Store until April 10, at which time it'll jump up to $9.99. Over a month ago, Microsoft announced the standalone expansion for Forza Horizon 2, celebrating the impending launch of Furious 7. Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious is an odd beast.
