Forza Horizon 2 on Xbox Series X|S in 2023 

Dynamic weather(specifically rain) was actually the best in horizon 2 out of all other horizon games. The rain on the cockpit view is also much more detailed than newer titles even compared to Horizon 5. Overall they really outdid themselves in 2014. In my opinion Horizon 2 is the best looking Horizon game. The progression was also nice with nice cutscenes before road trips. The whole game just felt real like the horizon festival is actually established in real life , something that newer horizon titles just can't achieve. Soundtrack list is pretty good too , had some amazing dubstep and edm tracks.

It’s my all time favorite Horizon Game. The Intro, the vibes, the Cars, the Map, the Sounds, ow gosh the turbo & supercharger sounds, the rain, the handling, the traffic, the night…everything on freaking point. Nice video man!

imo FH2 was the peak , it was beautiful ( i mean just look at that 1:44 ) well made and simple game with a great soundtrack and a proper ending

I've just received a copy today after purchasing it a couple of days ago and thank goodness I found out now that I was smart enough to get the DLCs years ago when they were still available even though I didn't owned the game, now that really made my day. This game as is visually well advance to its time of release and even though I'm currently on Forza 4 and 5, Horizon 2 still lives to high expectations

Me and my friends would come home from school every night and everyone knew what the plan was - Horizon 2 haha. Everyone would be calling each other asking when the other was hopping online. We'd set up a private online freeroam and just play endless hours of King down by the dockyard, road trips, hide and seek etc etc. and we just never got bored. Such a special game. HUGE nostalgia. Makes me truly sad I can't go back to those times. Emotional stuff. As we all live in the south of UK, we are all planning to do a massive real life road trip to those exact places in the game - southern France and northern Italy

FH3 was my first and I was hooked for months. So beautiful and so fun

4:28 My eyes were immediately drawn to that Strip “The King” Weathers design. And I think I’ve downloaded that exact design since Forza Motorsport 7.

When I boot it up and hear that music for breif second I remember the first time I played it as a kid, astounding game still love it.

Ah yes, back before everything had a brown filter over it, back to when winning races actually mattered, back when you actually had a sense of progression, back when cars weren't recycled non-stop, back when the career wasn't completely cringe, back when the map had some actual elevation, back when cities actually were enjoyable to drive through. The good ole days of Horizon, I 100% Horizon 2 and 3. Put way more hours than I care to admit. I've put a lot of hours into 4 and 5, but they could never keep me hooked like 2 and 3.

I like how this game from 2014 looks graphically better than the crew motorfest 💀

I have that intro video downloaded so I always have it on hand, such a beautiful video, always makes my mind happy.

Took me on a trip down memory lane, thank you very much. Also this video is amazing 10/10 hope this video gets an insane amount of views

My first Forza game, memories 🥹

Would love a 4K and/or 60FPS upscaled version to be released. Sadly, I doubt that will ever happen. I'm on Series X, and while it runs decently, it doesn't run as well as it could/should for the hardware I am on. The Series X Auto HDR is nice, but the resolution is pretty rough to be played on a 4K TV. Also RIP online, since both FH1 and FH2 have had their servers shut down:( (Commenting this before finishing the video, so Idk if you bring any of this up)

My favorite map. I was fortunate to go to Nice last year and all I could think about was how I drove those roads in the game.

i recently started playing fh3 and realized old is gold

This is my favorite one in the series. I don’t know why, at the time I got so into it. Used to crank surround sound in my man cave and jam to the drum and bass channel, i loved the online battles as well as cpu could be made fun on harder settings. And the engine sounds from this one, while they may have been “exaggerated” they were so fun and made the game awesome.

the first forza game i ever played i got it together with my xbox 360, awesome game grinded it like crazy

I still play this. Best map, car sounds, and music imo.

i miss when doing a showcase won you car, unlike in 4 and 5 (idk bout 3)

This is the first time I've seen this channel, I like this guy's content you get a sub buddy.

It's definitely on my list of games to play. I'll probably get to that in a few months time as I managed to score a physical copy of it already.

Loved this game. Came out in my freshman year of college and is likely a big reason why I had like a 2.2 GPA that semester lol but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I remember you Could make a Supra spin in every geat in this game, it was awesome!

The opening cinematic gives me goose bumps everytime, I can only imagine little me watching that for the first time.

How am i just now seeing this video!! Fh2 has long been my favorite horizon game in the franchise so much so that I have archived all of the leaderboards before server death. I have over 1.2k hours in this game and still play it all the time, whether servers down or not. It really sucks that playground games did not give this game the love it deserved and instead just kicked it to the curb to have it be forgotten. No 4k update and constant server issues have contributed to an ever dwindling player base and it’s sad to know that this game will one day be forgotten in its entirety.

I recently picked up a physical copy of fh2 for the xbox one. I first played this game on the 360 and knew I had to give it another go with better graphics . They’re amazing and car sounds are good too. The roads and the rain, the atmosphere, gameplay, everything is top notch.

Even though FH1 is still my favorite to this day. FH2 is a great game. I loved it. Thank your for this awesome video. Now I just want to start from scratch both FH1 And FH2 😊

I would love to be able to drive on this map in Horizon 5, or 6 if it comes out....... I want to be there again, loved that map.

This game sold me a XBOX back then. Loved it!

you deserve more subs, i loved this video

game still looks incredible. Just wow

Horizon 2 was the one that totally got me back into racing games after GT1, GT2 and NFS games. Horizon 2 is the reason I'm now heavily into Simracing.

3:04 It's not an ocean, it's the Mediterranean Sea. That is the coast of Liguria in Italy.

You earned yourself a sub

I loved playing FH2 I got to lvl 250 within 2-3 months and still haven’t fully completed the game that’s how much it gives you as far as total races and I liked the map better than FH3 tbh

The fact that’s set in my loved Italy makes me like it more

Man Chvrches music from fh2 so nostalgic 😍

That's one of my favorites What a nice game! That intro is the best one yet from the franchise Very nice video! :D

I replayed both FH1 and FH2 last fall. In my mind they both hold up remarkably well.

And to think this looks better than TDU Solar Crown which about to release, is insane

Horizon 2 was my introduction to the franchise, still love it

I never actually played this. I’ve only played 4 and 5. But, I happened to pull out the 360 a while ago and saw I had the demo for this game on it which is basically the opening sequence. I tried it out and yeah I agree. You can definitely still play this game today and it would be totally fine, even on a 360. Pretty crazy.

Firstly I just subscribed and secondly this is my all time favourite game and I use to spend hours on this game back in the day and now I have to buy this game and take a trip down memory lane

Loved this game didnt get 3 just played 2 till 4 came out but still horizon 2 is my favourite got my best cars and had online races like iv never experienced again. This makes 5 look silly

i remember playing this in 2018 and i loved it i prefer it over FH4 ands FH5 i never played 3 or 1

Great video as always

More me FH2 has the best map. The lighting makes it look dreamy. I love it

keep up the great work u derserve more subs

my first car was the BMW z4 back in the day

Definitely my favorite Forza game and maybe one of the best games I've played in more than 9 years of racing games.

the intro made me nostalgic af❤

nicee👍👍👍

It would be interesting if in the release of Forza Horizon 6 they released a remastering of 2, enlarging the map, merging the map of fh 1-3 in this way, making it bigger, just as it had new cars (obviously) but also adding cars that were in the fh 1-3 and that they are not in 5

i think although its not that old really i think this really needs a remaster, althoiugh the graphics are already good it would be so good to see like 4k gameplay and new car models and updated list

How do you only have 500 Subs? This Video was more entertaining than ones from people with over a mil. Miss the Horizon 2 days, I was so addicted to that game Lol

I so wish I could hope on this game but I would have to go buy an ex box again

fun fact i still play it till this day😭

seeing all of this and more about horizons 1, 2, and 3 again after playing them all growing up just makes me more and more sad about how little effort is being put into the new ones. its like, they go all out on graphics, and then take away everything else that made it a good game series. fun, drivable maps. unique cars and new exciting content. proper progression and great cities etc. a proper festival vibe where the focus was on music, and car racing first, and all the extra stuff second. now it almost feels like the cars, racing, and music is the last thing that the dev team cares about

The visual uplift from h1 was the biggest. The new games look pretty much just like this game

That RL Picture needs to come back

You should do a vid about fh 3 aswell

this is the reason I got a g920, it has bugs on BOTH forza where it shakes even standby, nah cancelled game pass, and change it for a g29 and bought GT7. Forza is cool dough if you want arcade experience with controller or unless you have a PC

Thanks for the video! The Xbox One was my first gaming console. I was always fascinated by two game genres, open world games in general and car racing games. When I'm looking back at it, FH2 was even the reason for buying an Xbox One! You made me realize, that this 9-year old classic is still sleeping in some dusty box and I just found it! Until just now I didn't have any plans for my day off tomorrow, which is going to be a rainy German spring day. Now I do have a plan: breathing some nostalgia and play FH2 again! Let's see how this one is holding up for me in 2024 on Xbox Series X! 🤩

Pixel car racer theme at the end 🔥🥵

I have it but for some reason it won’t download it hits 20% and gets stuck

Wow I feel like I missed out. I loved having the ps4 but honestly as I grew older I realized I’m much more of an Xbox guy. I game on my series x all the time while my ps5 honestly collects dust.

Gorgeous game my favorite Horizon, still worth a play today. Needs a remaster

Love FH2, still have my disc.

This was my first forza 😢

An old mate bought me this game because he loved it so much and wanted me to play it with him but honestly I couldn't even get into it with the arcade and real car SIM mixed racing feel just didn't do it........

Dude this guy is so underrated

I always wanted to play Forza Horizon 2‚ but I've never got to experience it. I remember when I wished this game to come on PC‚ at least they delivered Forza Horizon 3 on PC and I was happy playing it‚ but I stil feel like I am missing out on Forza Horizon 2 :'/

I would absolutely kill for FM8 to remaster some of the tracks from FH1/2/3/4/5 for Motorsport

As a person whos first horizon game was fh4 im actually super bummed i didnt get to play this game when the online was up because it looks like such a better and more polished game than fh4 and 5 especially in the city

I got FH2 via games with gold a few years ago. I stopped using my xbox as much now and I was wondering if I were to resubscribe for a month, would i be able to to buy the game outright or would i have to stay subscribed to gold to keep playing it?

My step dad just got a Xbox one this game looks so cool

I really should play this game again… 10… years… old…

Da się jakoś zdobyć forze horizon 2 na Xbox Series s?

i think forza 2 was the best game out of all of them. it looked the best and realistic. the traction and handaling felt most realistic. the game aall around is the best.

I tried to install it by disc and it was Queued, wouldn’t download all the way

Dude I played the absolute shit outta Forza horizon on the Xbox one. Such a great game! I remember literally forcing to keep my eyes open at night playing races till I fell asleep.

Horizon 2 will always be in our hearts!

How nostalgic 🥲

subbing

Even Forza Horizon 1 still looks good these days on the Xbox Series X, Forza Horizon 2 makes the Crew 2 look like a 2009 game aswell 😅

This is the only horizon game that really feels like you’re at a festival, in fh3, 4, and 5 it’s just like driving around an empty map by yourself.

Horizon 2 and 3 were the best in my opinion

This game still looks amazing!

Need next gen update ! Even Forza Horzion 1 have...

Lana: Nice driving ash

The first Forza Horizon game I ever played was FH4. Fell in love with it right from the beginning. Then I bought FH3. Forgot about FH4 immediately. Then I managed to get FH2. OMG. The intro, the vibe, the location, the particles effects, the island DLC! Everything was perfect. Don't have my XBOX anymore, so I miss this game. Gotta get Series S at least to play it again.

Great video man! But hey, how did you managed to have it on your Xbox Series X? Is it a physical disc? is there any other way to run it?

Is there a way to get this game nowadays? For example on console you can have it only through disc? Is it possible to play it on pc for example with game pass?

So the first one and horizon 2 the physical 360 copies work in Xbox series X?

I played this horizon game more than any other. Series X improvements made this awesome.

I loved to drive like a normal citizen, obeying the trafic laws and look at both sides of the road when driving through a cross. Idk, it was so relaxing and fun watching the other online players going full Ferrari or Lambo at 120mph while I was chilling driving a FIAT at 35mph

Back when the horizon festival actually seemed like a festival

The intro music took me back...

i think forza should remaster the games kinda like need for speed that people can still get older games
