It would be The Getaway all over again I reckon I could find my way around London fairly well, even though I've never been before, purely from the hours I put into that game.

Loved that game!

Still have the flashbacks

Oh, thats where I smashed the MR2 into a police car... No, no I didn't. I have never owned an MR2 or indeed crashed into a police car.

February DLC is on its way, so the clue threads have started once again, here is todays first clue:

Clue one:

Two-door, four-door or five-door station wagon?

Anyone tried out any of the new DLC cars? I've only got as far as downloading it yet but I did notice the rental garage has a lot more of the newer cars, meaning you can test them before you actually buy.

Does anyone know what he was talking about here? Sounds interesting.

More cars yet still ZERO longevity...this game was a massive wasted opportunity

I was referring to the rental garage option that you get when playing online or playing one of the monthly challenges, when the game first came out the selection just stayed the same but when second DLC was launched some new cars were added so you could effectively try the cars out before you actually bought them.

As I said earlier in the week The game has ZERO longevity

Such high hopes for it, it could have been the TDU meets Forza that never was, yet the online side is completely gash.

+1

As horrible as it is to play, I've actually played TDU2 more than this...

There is something about TDU.

Now that Eden has shut down, and Atari is in a spot of bother, I can't see the series will continue on. As much as I like Turn 10 for Forza Motorsport, I doubt they'll consider Horizon went in the wrong direction, and so I expect genre Test Drive Unlimited pioneered will die after the TDU2 servers are turned off.

Ok, I took the plunge and bought Horixon for £25 from Game, If I had to say which I prefered I'd deffinately say Forza4.

I cannot get on with the traffic cars on the game, they seem to turn into you when your doing a top speed run down the highway, very annoying, also the lack of tuning is really starting to wind me up

The number of cars available compared to Forza4 is also very dissappointing

Horizon seems like a well engineered Need for Speed IMO not a new Forza title

Think I'll be going back to Forza4

Right well I only posted the above comment on january 4th
I'm already hugely bored of it and I havent even completed the gold wristband yet

[stephen300o]

It has certain lifelessness to it.

I really wish that Turn 10 could have worked with Atari instead as the concept of TDU with the gameplay of Forza would have been excellent

Horizon for £12

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/forza-horizon-11-5...

Expired earlier due to stock, but worth keeping an eye out for those who wanted Horizon but weren't willing for fork out the full price.

[stephen300o]

Not sure it's worth that much really.

[Daston]

Picked it up from Amazon for £15 as it looked like a bit of fun...after reading this thread I am kinda wishing I hadn't lol.

I was thinking it would have a similar car list and tuning mechanic as Forza 4, I guess this isnt the case

[CBR JGWRR]

Hell no for both.
