Forza Horizon has been around for 10 years today, but due to the franchise's constant "End Of Life" policies, it's hard to celebrate.
Literally the only XBox exclusive that I still regularly play. I'm glad I had bought FH3 (PC) when I did, but this really sucks for other people who never picked it up. I still love the Australian Outback setting most of all.

Don't think there's literally a "worst" Forza game man. Microsoft just makes these too damn good.
lol.. pedantic much? ^ PG and the Forza IP are owned by Microsoft.
FH5 may be a technical marvel but it's been a buggy mess since launch and PG seem intent to add new content without ever bothering to fix anything. Many of which were bugs that were also in FH4.
FH3
FH1
FH4
FH5
FH2 (still good but the structure was messed up - too much emphasis on grinding "roadtrips" which was tedious)
FH3 is my favourite by a long shot. I got surprisingly bored of FH5 quick enough unfortunately so that's down the bottom of my list
Tbh I found FH3 to actually be my favourite and the one I played the most.
The one I got bored of very quickly was 4. Wasn't a fan of the seasons and driving round England was boring cause its where I live. Got very old quick.
I still think 2 (Xbox One version) is my personal best. Driving an Italian supercars on an Italian highway just feel so "right"!!!!! "2" make me understand why Italian make those supercars.
I don't know why so many do not like 4. I like the seasonal change & dramatic weather change. 5 seems to dial the weather change way way down that the weather seldom change (Is the real Mexico really has such a perfect weather all the time?).
KeenGamer: "The advanced sky capturing gives the Forza Horizon franchise a natural and realistic feeling. Yet, it's a long process from capturing to complete in-game sky. It's a technology that was introduced during the development of Forza Horizon 3, which provided more beauty and were widely praised by players."
Forza 4 looks really great now that Series updates have been applied. In Forza 5 Microsoft uses photo technology throughout the entire game. The volcano setting in Mexico looks amazing!
Incredible looking game, and it's not even powered by the next iteration of the ForzaTech engine which is still developed by Turn10.
Time to flex that 12TF.

Nobody in the business markets better than Microsoft when it comes to upcoming titles (Forza Horizon 3). A lot of guys will download Forza Horizon and realize what they have been missing out on and then run out and pre order Forza Horizon 3 (Ultimate Edition Sold out in my town). Maybe even going out and getting Forza Horizon 2 as well. Which is probably cheap now. I'm sure they have a version with all the DLC by now.
Last year Microsoft had the same strategy with Tomb Raider. They gave us all Tomb Raider D.E. for free on X1. So I played it. Liked it so much I ran out and pre ordered Rise of The Tomb Raider. So hats off to Microsoft for there strategy and giving us all a great game. Myself, has never played Forza Horizon but I do have Forza Horizon 2 and I just preorder Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition yesterday.
Here, I'm cussing Microsoft last night when preordering FH Ultimate Edition because it has a Friday release of Sept. 23 wondering why wait till Friday when games come out on Tuesdays usually..................here they are giving us the game four days early with the Ultimate Edition because the regular version comes out Sept. 27. LOL. Stupid me.
This is happening often where we get more then the games with gold offerings. I'll try it out.
Recently we got beyond good and evil which is an amazing game.
