Forza Horizon.
11/10
I could go on and on about how much I love this game, but here's my usual praise for the just the highlights.
I LOVE the way the cars handle. Instead of going for absolute realism like they normally do, they made the cars handle the way they
should, so it's like driving in a perfect world. Even driving cars like the Hummer is a lot of fun. They dampened things like the impacts between cars, making it less of a harsh simulator, and more of a realistic arcade racer, something that hasn't really been done before.
While pretty sexualized, the characters are a great addition, it's a lot more fun to race a polite yet aggresive prince or a party animal than a faceless name. I also like how the main character isn't always in uniform, and when he is, he still keeps a civilian, almost casual look to him. They did an especially good job making the mechanic, Dak, believable but not in any way boring.
The mood an general presentation of the game is probably my favorite thing about it, Forza always felt too...professional to me, but this lighthearted, fun, party-like feel makes the game an altogether wonderful experience.
Sorry for blabbering on so long,
there's just a lot to say about this game! If you have an Xbox, you should definitely pick it up.
