REVIEW Forza Horizon: Rally Expansion Pack (DLC / XBOX360) 2012

Series Forza We love and appreciate, but unfortunately, a new addition that promises to introduce exciting rally race, turned hack and totally disappointed us.

The Horizon Rally you will not see much change in an open world game, because addition did not affect protected areas in Colorado: a menu to a single and multiplayer modes add items Rally.Going into it, you will pass a short tutorial that will appreciate in the first place navigator. It tells when and which turn to wait.But the happiness is short-lived, because the navigator no more than the voice of GPS-navigator: Playground Games decided not to bother and do not put close to you mate, as it happens in reality - a shame, but tolerable.

Then you talk about the Horizon Rally familiar female voice and let the organizer of the competition on the track.Basically, at this point the game can be shut down or go into a regular Horizon, because nothing good you will not see. In a simple menu, you can choose a racing car, tune it (the whole garage Forza Horizon is available), as well as to select the race.

Open World in addition closed, boarded up with wooden sticks crosswise laid minefield and to heap gash fence with barbed wire under tension, to say goodbye to all ideasHorizon Festival. All the musicians went home: because of the "hardcore" of arcade rally co-driver and the natural presence, which does not shut up for a second, the music told "Ados!" - It sounds just the menu.

On the slopes are all sadly only available Horizon Rally stages 6 to 4 in each section.Landscape areas taken from the original game, what is the secret of closing the world, but the coating itself in the literal sense of "shifted".Where was the canyon Red Rock, is now mostly red clay, and the road to the dam was covered with gravel, clutch sparse grass.In this area the quarry has undergone minimal repair - a gravel was a bit more, but in general the changes almost was not. In addition, we offer a ride as much as 24 different sites.

But in reality we are faced with the fact that we have foisted disguised as a heap of new trails on the strength of 8 on new routes, because in each of the 6 stages you drive on the same site for at least 2times as The Hobbit: back and forth.To put it mildly, this is contrary to the concept of rally racing, in principle, where the participants go from point A to point B, then repair and tuning, then from point B to point B and so on.But still okay to drive back to the beaten track. Absolutely surprised when suddenly on the 4th, the last section, you offer to drive the same area as the first time.

As for the cars, then the game is just replete with innovations. In addition to the machines, suitable for the rally, which you bought in the usual Horizon, in the Rally pack added as many as five new cars.This new language to call them does not turn: another Subaru Impreza, another Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, another Lancia and a couple of other cars.
That is, you pay 1600 MS Points and get 5 versions of cars that have been in the game? At the same time do not forget to pack Horizon monthly output of 4-5 vehicles for 400 MS Points, could Playground give the players well, at least 10 different rally cars.

What else do we get the whole for 1600 MSP - tuning appear in special rally suspension, gearbox, new aero parts on the car and special wheels with special tread.This estimate may be too lazy developers took some jeep with wide wheel arch: the fact that outwardly special tires for the rally (with increased tread) looks like a slick - completely flat without a hint of at least one groove.

By the spoon of honey in a barrel of tar can be attributed almost as amended by physics, which sometimes makes the start to fight with the car as the car begins to show character on gravel, mud, clay, broken pavement and other surfaces of the rally presented here.

What we have as a result: you spend 1600 MS Points and do not get anything except the feeling that you cheated.The number of "rally" cars can be counted on the fingers of one hand, unless of course you decide to link their lives with a milling machine. In addition, you get psevdonovye track, you can count on one hand, it is true, it is, if you're an 8-finger mutant.

Forza Horizon: Rally Expansion Pack It would be a good addition, if the price does not exceed 800 MS Points. And for 1600 MS Points is perceived not only as trash, followed by a desire to once again include the original HorizonTo enjoy a variety of exciting competition, open world, the spirit of the music festival, and forget all about the bungled attempt to make the rally addition, against which the original Dirt It seems without unnecessary epithets masterpiece.
If you have extra money, better buy more belongings or his avatar Minecraft Xbox 360 EditionBut in any case do not buy Horizon Rally.
