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!
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
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.
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
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)
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.
Also, the road trips are by far the best way to do the single player stuff. They work perfectly in fh2 with a pretty small map, if they put it in fh6 (as long as the map doesn’t suck ass) it’d be 10x better than the fh5 “do everything at your own pace and you win no matter what” style.
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.
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
@@OldTires The games are definitely not easy to find. It takes some patience but they do eventually surface. On the plus side, there's plenty of games out there that are much more rare than this too, so it isn't the hardest find in the world either.
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
IDK why but I remember driving a dodge viper or something bone stock and the car had a nice weight to it. this game had a fun handling model and some interesting cars in it, loved the fast and furious car pack in this game
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.
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.
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.
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
Am I the only person who doesn't like the fact that once you could drive off of the map, the realism was lost because roads weren't a necessity. Most cars, if they drove off road for even a second would crash. The land became flat and featureless and reminded me of Midtown Madness. I think that if there's another game like FH1 that I'd want to play it would have less jumps, ridiculous festival settings, HUD and challenge markers, more realistic road size, damage, and would handle like Forza Motorsport 4, have a lot of insignificant versions of cars like Gran Turismo, and a Used Car Lot, insurance payments, gas, realistic traffic, the map would be topographically accurate with dips, crests and potholes, no fast travel, repairs would cost money that would depend on make and model, and there would be different maps accessible through a loading cinematic of flying to another location where you'd have to start over again with different cars and elements. Maybe I'm crazy for saying this, but I think that Forza Horizon went like Saints Row, and started to become ridiculous and unrealistic. The only way that this hypothetical game that I'm speaking of could be made is if I somehow figured out how to use A.I. to make one myself in 10 years once the world has ended. I'm staying optimistic.
Reddit has a workaround for installing Forza Horizon 2 from disk. When you try to install it from the disk it wont download. Here's the steps, Turn off auto-download < insert the disk < go to MS store while disk is inserted and download from the store page< After starting the download eject the disk < re-insert disk after it downloads to play.
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?
Too bad I can’t play it because somehow I lost my Xbox power cord 🤣🤣🤣 been atleast 2 years since I used my Xbox cos I just use my pc. Also I used my Xbox as a footrest before I cleaned up my room haha
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.
Do you still have your Microsoft account? Because if you got the game digitally, you could sign in with your old account and play Horizon 2. If you had a physical copy, you would be out of luck
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! 🤩
@@josephhall7317 Turned out: it does. 👍 But, tbh, compared to FH5 it wasn't big fun. I hope Playground Games will bring the car meets to FH5 in one of the next updates. 🥰
@@SpaceXfG thanks for the quick response, I commented a little too much on this video trying to get a response trying to see if I should order both 1 and 2
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 😊
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.
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
i played horizon 2 on 360 and honestly loved it to bits, but then i found out how much i was missing out on because of how different the 360 edition was to the xbox one. watching this video as someone who now has a lil bit of money (literally just enough to do this) i am very temped to buy an xbox one just to play horizon 2. someone stop me.
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
Southern France and Northern Italy is by far the best location in any Horizon game. I might be biased because I live there but as far as driving roads and scenery goes, you can’t beat it. The new games focus too much on Offroad sections in my opinion.
I can’t agree on your wrap up. For every new player I highly recommend starting with Horizon 2 and even Horizon 1. Horizon 5 and even 4 and 3 started to throw hyper cars at you and removed every sense of feeling that you accomplished something. Horizon 1 and 2 are masterpieces. If you can get them play them. Horizon 5 is a watered down toddler version with a little better graphics.
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
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 grew up with the xbox 360 version of fh2. In 2021 i bought and xbox series s and one day i decided to buy a digital copy of fh2 xbox one because i remember that my neighbor had an xbox one and i could play it. When i contacted him he said that he sold the xbox one and bought xbox series x and he could lend me it for 20 days so i could play fh2 xbox one version, when i finally got my hands on the xbox series x and i could play fh2 xbox one. When i opened the game i literally cried/smiled while playing the game it was way better and more fun. I am now on day 13/20 of having the xbox series x, last week for me to enjoy fh2 xbox one version. I just wish i could play the physical version of the game on xbox series s
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.
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
Dynamic weather(specifically rain) was actually the best in horizon 2 out of all other horizon games.

Well said! The cut scenes were really good and the music was on point. They nailed the little details.
Definitely agree with you that FH2 is the best looking Horizon game. It had a certain style to it, whilst being much more detailed than 1.
Agreed, Horizon 1 and 2 were the bests, and also my childhood
@@RazorCallahanDK right on dude
Nice comment fh2 was my first horizon game I played first in Xbox 360 in my friends house now I have Xbox one s I love fh2

2:42 was insane 😭😭😭😭
locking game to only-road instead to full sanbox give opportunity to render more poligons close to you instead of object far away
My first Forza game, memories 🥹
2:42 was insane 😭😭😭😭
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

I still play this. Best map, car sounds, and music imo.
I have to agree with you there!

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.

Love to hear it man haha Now that would be an interesting study. Was there a correlation with the release of FH2 and GPAs dropping. Almost guaranteed.
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.
The opening cinematic gives me goose bumps everytime, I can only imagine little me watching that for the first time.
I would literally give an arm and a leg to be able to watch it for the first time again.
2:42 was insane 😭😭😭😭
fun fact i still play it till this day😭
I'm addicted all over again haha
Same
i recently started playing fh3 and realized old is gold
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.
game still looks incredible. Just wow
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.
Also, the road trips are by far the best way to do the single player stuff. They work perfectly in fh2 with a pretty small map, if they put it in fh6 (as long as the map doesn’t suck ass) it’d be 10x better than the fh5 “do everything at your own pace and you win no matter what” style.
Def not the only one, dont forget about FH1
That's one of my favorites
What a nice game!
That intro is the best one yet from the franchise
Very nice video! :D
It's one of my favs too. It set the bar really high for all the games that came after it that's for sure.
@@OldTires Yep, me too. Just look to the DLCs. Also great examples to how DLC should be done
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.
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 like how this game from 2014 looks graphically better than the crew motorfest 💀

@@Bpcoop18 what is then? it's good at nothing
and lets not talk about nfs unbound... probably a hot take but the cartoonish style is just atrocious
@@morgan3625 Motorfest still looks better, but this was really good for its time.
I have that intro video downloaded so I always have it on hand, such a beautiful video, always makes my mind happy.
Some of the V8-V12 cars in this game sounded godly too. The Impala, F12, and Viper sounded amazing.
Have you heard how the murcielago sounds in it? It completely outdoes the Lfa in the later games in my opinion. What a beautiful sounding machine
Man Chvrches music from fh2 so nostalgic 😍
Chvrches is soooo good. I could have filled up the whole video with music from the first few games haha
This is the first time I've seen this channel, I like this guy's content you get a sub buddy.

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

IDK why but I remember driving a dodge viper or something bone stock and the car had a nice weight to it. this game had a fun handling model and some interesting cars in it, loved the fast and furious car pack in this game

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.
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
Welcome to the channel!! Hope you enjoy going through the game again. Get ready for a nostalgia hit 😀
Do you have a 360 or does the physical copies of fh1 and 2 work on series X?
i played horizon 2 on 360 and honestly loved it to bits, but then i found out how much i was missing out on because of how different the 360 edition was to the xbox one.
watching this video as someone who now has a lil bit of money (literally just enough to do this) i am very temped to buy an xbox one just to play horizon 2. someone stop me.
You earned yourself a sub
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
I totally get that! I used to find myself obeying traffic laws in GTA sometimes 😀
The fact that’s set in my loved Italy makes me like it more
keep up the great work u derserve more subs
Thanks! 😀
Southern France and Northern Italy is by far the best location in any Horizon game. I might be biased because I live there but as far as driving roads and scenery goes, you can’t beat it. The new games focus too much on Offroad sections in my opinion.
It was a great choice. It's my favorite map as well👍
I can’t agree on your wrap up. For every new player I highly recommend starting with Horizon 2 and even Horizon 1.
Horizon 5 and even 4 and 3 started to throw hyper cars at you and removed every sense of feeling that you accomplished something.
Horizon 1 and 2 are masterpieces. If you can get them play them. Horizon 5 is a watered down toddler version with a little better graphics.
Forza horizon 1-4 is just peak gaming experience
Is it at 4k like fh3??
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
Die DLC ' s von Forza Horizon 2 kann man sicher nicht kaufen , das hat mich schon bei FH3 , FM5 , FM6 und FM7 genervt .
The fact that this game is from 2014... Makes me rethink whether Forza Horizon 5 really is a good game
Ikr! Really does make ya think...
Wait how’s you get it on there you used a disc ?
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
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?
Hey! Thanks dude. I own a digital version of the game that I originally bought on Xbox One. So I was able to reinstall it on the Series digitally.
I have it but for some reason it won’t download it hits 20% and gets stuck
this dude is underrated
Hey thanks dude I appreciate the kind words!
And to think this looks better than TDU Solar Crown which about to release, is insane
i grew up with the xbox 360 version of fh2. In 2021 i bought and xbox series s and one day i decided to buy a digital copy of fh2 xbox one because i remember that my neighbor had an xbox one and i could play it. When i contacted him he said that he sold the xbox one and bought xbox series x and he could lend me it for 20 days so i could play fh2 xbox one version, when i finally got my hands on the xbox series x and i could play fh2 xbox one. When i opened the game i literally cried/smiled while playing the game it was way better and more fun. I am now on day 13/20 of having the xbox series x, last week for me to enjoy fh2 xbox one version. I just wish i could play the physical version of the game on xbox series s
Glad you were able to get your hands on the game man! Only a few more days left but hope you're enjoying it.
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.
What a game, I spent all my summers playing Horizon 2, 3 or 4. Horizon 2 holds up today imo, best horizon game.
Couldn't agree more!
So the first one and horizon 2 the physical 360 copies work in Xbox series X?
The first one, yes. But with second one, its only the Xbox One version.
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
