Forza Horizon (2012) 8/10
The handling is exquisite, beyond anything yet experienced in an open-world racer, and the racing is challenging and fun (I love my Koenigsegg) but the environment graphics aren’t quite as good as they appear in screenshots. The colour scheme (all brown, unless it’s night when it’s all black, haven’t game makers heard of high beam), shallow view distance (good luck distinguishing concrete freeway off-ramp walls, junctions or even other cars during daylight) and forgettable scenery and roads even in daylight mean that, in motion, it is very challenging to remember tracks or routes or, on the freeway challenges, see far enough down the road ahead. It also has an excrutiating framework (a festival; think Motorstorm without the bravado but more voice-over), an embarrassingly cheating final race (when you get the car that keeps whupping you, it goes 40mph slower) and, appropriately for a Forza game, absolutely no heart. Also appropriately for a Forza game, the driving saves it.
This game contains sexual swear words in songs. |

Crash Time III aka Alarm for Cobra 11: Highway Nights (2009) Semir and Ben investigate the bombing of police vehicles as a major international conference looms in the city. 7/10
Wrong-footing us from the get-go, the third, and best, Synetic action racing title in the Alarm for Cobra 11 series has a easy-to-understand menu where the active item is clearly highlighted. This staggering concession to usability extends to the in-game action as all frustrations from previous entries have been removed. Most of the time, you cannot fail a mission, you simply succeed less well and get assigned a out-of-five star-rating upon completion. Synetic also add an in-car shooting mechanic and it works really well and makes a satisfying alternative to smashing cars off the road Chase HQ-style. Dialogue remains endearingly stilted ("in famous" instead of "infamous") but it always wins me over and I very much welcome the light tone. There’s even some Fourth Wall-breaking (‘Man… this is the third time the Synetic guys have made me drive a tank’) which is odd but funny and welcome. There’s still, uniquely, cars with caravans and this remains, I think, the only game where you can race articulated lorries, which is tremendous fun.
This game contains bad language.
