    The Horizon 2 intro was so cool and emotional the first time I played the demo. “Hey, you survived”! What do ya think, perfect mixture of music and machines, right? “ It was a long time in the making, but it was totally worth it”. “Uhhh tomorrow we’re gonna get fresh cars, then we’re off on our first road trip, but a tonight… Welcome to Horizon!”

    Played about 300hours of fh2 on the 360 not knowing that there was a Xbox One version, until i went to a friends house and tried it on the one. Big difference, and in 2018 when i got my one and played fh4 for the first time i was blown away, and then when i went back to the 360 for nostalgia i almost got mad the graphics were so bad. Good times and the game that got me into cars

    No matter how broken it is, there is always one redeeming factor (for me at least), and that is the modding.
    You can mod FH2 to death, basically. There is a mod that adds cars from FH1 into FH2, and also a new car that hasn't been in both of the games (Mazda RX3), and they turned the null car into an actual car.
    It is incredibly easy to make your own engine swaps, or even your own controller layout. I'm now using the Y axis of my right stick to shift.
    Also, it's possible to swap the engine sounds out for the ones found in Forza Motorsport 4, and I think we can agree that they sound better (yes, there is a distinct difference between FH2 and FM4 sounds)

      @@Carl_Gunderson There is a neat little program that can extract the XBOX 360 ROM files (as long as it's a .iso) and since the most file formats used in Forza games of the X360 era are either really simple or have been successfully decoded, it's not that hard to mod. The input layouts are stored in the gamedb.slt file which can be opened using an SQL database browser. The engine swaps and the perks you can buy with skill points are also stored there, heck, even the price of vehicles can be changed so every vehicle only costs 1 cr. Also, there is a program called Forza Studio whch lets you modify and view the texture and 3d model files.

The physics definitely felt more arcady than FH1 so I never put as much time into it as the first game though. The emulator certainly didn't help the graphics any for this video but dang I forgot how low quality the world actually was.

    I had FH2 on the X360 as that was the only console I had at the time (& still have it somewhere). The reason why the games are so different is that they were made by 2 different people. The car list was also a massive disappointment as there were a lot less on the X360. The F&F DLC was good, though no longer available to download. Still have it on my console to play. It was free aswell. FH2 is more like FH1.5.

    Fun fact for FH2 on the xbox 360: there's an actual money glitch when you end up having 999,999,999cr by having fast travel unlocked and deleting one of the title updates and not updating the game after, then fast traveling anywhere else the game.

    I wish I had gotten into Forza Horizon sooner. Now I’ll never get to experience Storm Island, Blizzard Mountain, or the OG Hot Wheels expansion. 😔

    i have the xbox one of this game, i mean it has less cars, no houses, less graphics, but holds a place in my heart. i think it has the best scenery in any forza game, has a great storyline and progression system, and just in my opinion, seems better then FH5.

    You cant really compare a emulator copy of this to the actual game. I bought this game back in the day and it was amazing on 360s outdated hardware in that time period. I never came across any of these issues. This game is what made me fall in love with the forza franchise. Coming from growing up playing 16 bit graphic Lotus racing games on a sega genesis, Gran turismo on PS1, to this. I have zero complaints.

    I was one of the poor plebs that has only experienced FH2 on the 360. One of the first videos I remember watching of yours was comparing the 360 version to the Xbox One way back the day. I also remember watching all of your FH2 videos and being extremely jealous
