Early this month, a new trailer was released for the upcoming Forza Horizon driving game demo that would soon be arriving. Well, that day has now arrived, and the Forza Horizon demo is now available to download from Xbox Live.
Forza Horizon is an open-world racing game that leaves the track in its dust and allows you to explore the game using a variety of cars, realistic physics, and high-definition graphics. This game is designed to provide an immersive experience that combines the thrill of racing with the freedom of exploration.
Variety of Race Types
Forza Horizon comes with a number of different race types to suit your style and gameplay, from drift to rally and point-to-point races. This variety ensures that players can always find a race type that matches their preferences, whether they enjoy the precision of drifting or the rugged challenge of rally racing. The game has been developed by UK-based Playground Games, who have also worked on titles such as Project Gotham Racing, Driver, and the Burnout series. Their expertise in creating engaging and dynamic racing games is evident in the quality and depth of Forza Horizon.
The game also features a dynamic day-night cycle and weather system, adding another layer of realism and challenge. Imagine racing through a sunlit countryside only to find yourself navigating the same roads under the cover of night or in the midst of a sudden downpour. These elements not only enhance the visual appeal but also affect the gameplay, requiring players to adapt their driving strategies to changing conditions.
“The aim is to progress through the game by means of obtaining ‘Wristbands’ by driving fast, destroying property, winning races, and other driving antics.”
Gameplay and Progression
The progression system in Forza Horizon is both unique and engaging. Players earn “Wristbands” by performing various driving feats, such as driving at high speeds, causing destruction, and, of course, winning races. These wristbands serve as a form of in-game currency and status symbol, unlocking new events, cars, and customization options as you advance through the game. This system encourages players to explore different aspects of the game and rewards them for their skills and creativity.
In addition to the single-player campaign, Forza Horizon offers a robust multiplayer experience. Players can compete against friends and other racers from around the world in various online events and challenges. The game also features a social aspect, allowing players to share their achievements, custom car designs, and race times with the community. This connectivity adds a layer of competition and camaraderie, making the game even more engaging.
Forza Horizon will be launching exclusively on Xbox 360 on the 23rd of October, 2012. Enjoy! Check out the Forza Horizon demo below.
The demo provides a sneak peek into the game’s expansive world and diverse race types, giving players a taste of what to expect. Whether you’re a seasoned racing game veteran or a newcomer to the genre, Forza Horizon promises to deliver an exhilarating and immersive experience.
