Forza Horizon Demo now available

Demo is now available for download for Gold members. Next week for Silver.

I will try it after work and post some impressions.

It's really good from what I've played. You get a chunk of the map to roam around, and three different races including "mustang vs mustang".

It actually feels really bad to play. Handling is very cut down from Forza 4 and the annoying voice-overs (like the DiRT series) are in there. I would wait until this is in the bargin bin to be honest.

This game is going to be real sweet.

Here is my review of Horizon using the CSR Elite. I don't get too technical with it. I just talk about how it feels to me, and what I see coming in the final product.

Thanks for watching and enjoy!

After some time with the demo, here's my take. It's definitely not Forza Motorsport. In fact, my initial reaction was it feels more like Dirt (specifically Dirt 2) than anything else, given the bright presentation and party music.

That said, it's not completely arcade either. I turned off the assists as I do in FM, and you do have to work a bit to stay in control. Good fun, actually- I'm still not 100% onboard for a day one purchase, but I'll most likely pick it up down the line.
