The road to the championship is itself rewarding, a series of multi-race circuits that are themed around specific types of cars. Variety means everything in a racing game, and Forza Horizon 2‘s open world really runs with that idea. Like the Bucket List content, all of these collectibles lend additional variety to your championship journey. Promotional billboards, rare and unusual Barn Find vehicles, speed traps, and photo challenges fill out some of the other dangling carrots. It’s a time trial like any other, but Bucket List infuses challenges like this with added personality. Sure, you can buy a Ferrari F40 later on in the game, but it’s more fun to hop inside of one as the goal “outrun the sun” flashes across your screen. Bucket List challenges amount to a sampler plate for some of the game’s more desirable rides. The spaces in between championship races hold the usual crop of open world activities, though with a distinctly Forza twist. Finish that and the whole process starts anew. Once you score enough wins, it’s time for the Horizon Festival finale. The basic flow follows your mute white dude driver – the lack of any character creation is baffling given that the “protagonist” is little more than a prop in the handful of cutscenes – as he takes on a series of themed racing championships. Playground captures the adventurous spirit of the road trip in Forza Horizon 2.
