Wow, wasnt expecting a 5. Free version confirmed for me. I wonder what the hell they did with the extra year? I wouldn't mind these guys making a new motorstorm game, I loved those.

Was hoping for solid reviews so there'd be more closed circuit racers instead of even more open world snoozefests I got bored of last gen.

Oh well. PS+ will sell more copies than reviews would, considering recent scandals

Knew I was right not to get too hyped about this one. That said...

"A more modest, conventional arcade racer than its sprawling, open-world peers." - That sounds right up my alley. Will probably still get it, based on the IGN review.

@deadline-zero0: Theres lots to pick apart in the review. I thought it was rather poorly written. Someone is going to have a meltdown for sure. It scored right around where I thought it would but not for the reasons I thought.

He doesn't really mention lack of content, other than briefly touching on inability to customize vehicles. He mostly bitches and moans that he sucks at racing games and this game didn't hold his hand like Forza did with rewind. He actually says that in his review. The review is pretty lol worthy.

Gamespot 5/10

Craveonline 5.5/10

Eurogamer 6/10

Psu 95/100 (Playstation Universe unbiased review)

Videogamer 8/10

So wheres my fellow puertorrican Tormentos when we need him spinning the numbers.

Im from Puerto rico aswell.

Why MC is a pile of doo doo

But holy balls at the score I honestly thought DC would be a decent rival to FH2.

they hyped it as a forza killer, you can say "A" hype all you want, everyone knows that was sandbagged after the Horizon2 review.

Nah , thats what you saying. Personally i predicted 7.5 to 8.5 on MC and voted it as AA. So stop saying people played it safe OR play the victims by saying everyone hyped it as Forza killer.

I mean , most voted it as A or AA doesnt make it Forza killer so lets not talking out of our butts please to justify our ego. A and AA up to 70% of voters. Thats not a Forza killer to me sorry

Also , some of fanboys , haters or lovers doesnt matter , STILL voting out of pathetic ego or because they trying to prove their pathetic logic right let alone others wrong ... Thats pathetic guys , voted were 174 like 5 min ago , now are up to 176. Cows or lems , whoever the damn doing this ...its pathetic to say the least. Period

LOL. What can cows say now? 1080p is all that matters anyways, no need for quality gameplay as long as it's 1080p!

Forza Horizon 2 - Metacritic - 86

GS - 8.0 (Reviewer: Kevin VanOrd)

IGN - 9.0 (Reviewer: Luke Reilly)

Drive Club - Metacritic - 70

GS - 5.0 (Reviewer: Kevin VanOrd)

IGN - 7.9 (Reviewer: Luke Reilly)

Forza Killer my ass.

My decision to sell the PS4 and go with the X1 for my console this gen is looking better and better with every shit release on the PS4. Drive club was a must buy at launch for me. Unreal how quickly it's gone down hill.

I was really hyped for this game until yesterday when I learned of the many things the game is missing at launch. I am really curious about what they were close to releasing 10 months ago and what they have been doing since then. Because games don't come more bare bones than this.

I will still check out the PS+ version of course. But it looks like FH2 will go unchallenged this holiday as the Racing King.

Wow that was far lower than I expected. Gonna hold of on purchasing now and read some other reviews. Gamespot's is the lowest on MC but it's still early so that may change.

Or, people are like me and didn't vote in the first place and wanted to see what the overall voting hype was for the game...
