Im still enjoying playing this even after the horizon finally but one thing that I find annoying is when modifying a car I want to change the wheels to another oem wheel from the same manufacturer but different car. I wanted to put mk1 focus rs wheels on the mk2 escort for example but unable to.

I would love this option. Imagine having the 360CS wheels on a 458

You could do it on Gran Turismo, you could buy "used" wheels that would randomly generate in the shop and change every few game days, I remember having BMW M5 (V10) wheels on a Saleen S7

New 'Storm Island' expansion pack with rally raid cars and extreme weather. Cars include the Mini Rally Raid Dakar car and the Robby Gordon Stadium Trucks, as seen on the Race Of Champions this weekend. $20 expansion, $10 for VIPs. Apparently out tomorrow, I may have been under a rock but this is the first I'd heard of it.

humpf, thats a bit steep

[ajprice]

It should be available for download tonight. There are 6 cars:

Mini Dakar X-Raid
Mitsubishi Galant VR4
Robby Gordon #7 Stadium Super Truck
Ford Dakar Ranger
1981 Ford Fiesta MK1
MG Metro 6R4

The 6R4 is probably the new barn find car. A load of other cars in the game get rally mods too, like in the FH1 rally expansion. 500 gamer points worth of new achievements, a new area on the map. UK Price will be £15.99, VIP is 50% off.

[LukeR94]

I will be investing in that, just for the 6R4!

Also got a rally spec Evo 6 with a Tommi Makinen livery dying to have some spotlights put on it

So what's Storm Island like then?

[kowalski655]

Stormy?

Actually I want to know too,is it a seperate actual island(imaginary one I presume?)

[GT Kodiak]

I'll tell you what Storm island is like.

It's like £16 less in your pocket.

Half the price of the game for 6 cars and two dozen new races?

[N0ddie]

I really like it. Its just like the rally expansion on the original Horizon which I loved.

80 races, 6 new cars and rally modifications. I'd say its worth the £16.

It doesnt need to cost £16 though. Theres plenty of websites you can get Xbox money with discounted prices ie. £42 real money for £50 Xbox money.

[ajprice]

Yep, its like the rally expansion in FH1. £8 if you're VIP. Its a new island with new roads, from the mainland you get there by going to the harbour where you start the game. Worth it for me, things do unlock though, so you can't buy all the cars straight away. The 6R4 is a barn find, and the stadium truck must unlock after a few championships, haven't got it yet.

Sound good, and the stadium is apparently from ROC?

£16 is what, 4 Pints? Not exactly going to break the bank. I've still got plenty to do in Horizon though, and hopefully it will pop up on 'deals with gold' at some point.

[jaik]

There are also 8 bucket list challenges. Well worth the money if you ask me, Horizon's one of those games I'll keep playing after completing all the main stuff, when I just fancy a blast on something.

[croakey]

Anyone else have major issues with this game?

I get to the Nice car meet intro and it freezes and boots back to the xbox live screen? Tried deleting gamer data, even done a full factory reset of the console.

Only had me xbox one 4 days and a tad annoyed!

Nothing there interests me

[RB Will]

Will probably just buy the Brat just to live out my own fantasy, always wanted to dump the engine from my P1 into one of them

[poprock]

I fancy a shot in the Nismo 510 concept, but none of the others. Hmmm. (Loving Storm Island, by the way. Great fun and a genuine departure in style from the main game – mainly tanks to the terrain.)

[RB Will]

I prefer Storm Island to the main game too, because the roads are twistier and a bit more memorable.
If they could put that Ariel Nomad in the next car pack it would be cool.
Would be nice if they did an addition to the Storm island that was a kinda quarry so we could have formula off road and trials, maybe a monster truck lol.

[snoopy25]

Well completed the game on Saturday and just going round trying to get all the boards and find all the barn cars

How much is the Storm island Pack? is it really worth getting?

[RB Will]

Storm island was about £15 but well worth it, I have not been back to the mainland since I got it. The roads are much more fun and with a smaller more distinctive map I can actually learn where I'm going
