Beyond the events there are also plenty of opportunities to hit the open road, and fulfil side objectives like taking photographs or discovering beaten-up old racers in countryside barns. Fancy a 1999 Lancer Evolution for the next leg of the trip? Selecting the appropriate rally championship makes all the events ahead compatible with the car. Although you have to win a certain number of races and championships to progress, the class of car you race in is up to you. Struggling to stay on the road at high speed in a McLaren or gliding around a corner in an Impreza is where Horizon 2 shines.Īnother area of success is the sheer amount of freedom the game provides. The 200 or so cars – which include work vehicles and city cars as well as those explicitly designed for racing – each offer subtle variations in performance and handling, and can be tweaked endlessly to your liking in the garage. This means slamming the handbrake at top speed to drift around a corner is not a viable race tactic, but as always there are plenty of "assists" you can activate at any time – from rendering a suggested driving line on the road to automatically helping with brakes.ĭespite the need to be a little more careful in your driving, the realism is an advantage as taking a 1988 Lamborghini Countach on a thrill-ride through wheat crops and across aqueducts on a whim wouldn't be nearly as fun if the car didn't fight you every step of the way.
This is still a simulation game, and car physics and control is realistically modelled.
