Sometimes, we can be a little too explorative for our own good. This type of direction in an open-world game comes in very handy. You can use your own voice in conjunction with the Kinect to simply ask Anna 'what should I do?' Anna, your automated GPS voice comes in very handy. Several smart detailed inclusions pushes things to the next level. It's not just the driving that makes the gameplay stand out. It feels spot on with the action on the screen. You can feel the vibrations when accelerating, breaking and crashing. The rumble controllers in the Xbox One have never been more appreciated than in FH2. The feeling of speed is phenomenal, but the varying control of different vehicles on multiple surfaces adds the requisite depth to the driving experience. If the answer is either of the last two, then you'll love FH2.ДЇrom a pure fun standpoint, I haven't enjoyed the racing in a game this much since Burnout Paradise and the original Grid. What kind of racing game fan are you? Do you prefer straight simulations, hybrids, something purely injected with excitement, or can you appreciate all styles? That's a great luxury, but it can also prevent us from appreciating a beautifully rendered game like FH2. These days gamers are spoiled by above-average visuals in most every game. That's something many racing titles lack. The voice acting is sharp and synced properly and it helps to give the game personality. Don't get me wrong, we're not talking EA Sports UFC-level of quality when it comes to facial and body renders, but it's still very good.Д®ven during driving sequences, the people who appear are all animated 3-D models. That's not the case in FH2-at least not in cut scenes. Last, but not least, many racing games skimp on human models because after all, they aren't the stars of the show the cars are. Rainbows, puddles of water, buildings, trees and the shade they provide are all factors in the virtual mosaic.

The lighting is spectacular and it takes most every thing into consideration in the world the game creates. For as far as the eye can see, there is a fully detailed world with depth and clarity. However, what does stand out about FH2, as it did with FM5, is the quality of the backgrounds and scaling of the environments.Д«ecause it's an open-world title, this is an especially impressive quality in FH2. The car renders are fantastic, which has become pretty standard in most racing games these days. If you saw Forza Motorsport 5, you kind of know what to expect from this one in the way of visuals. For the last few days, I've been spinning my wheels-in a good way-with the game.
