First Forza Horizon Reviews Are In

What are the critics' saying about 2012's biggest racer?
There's still just under two weeks until the Brit-developed 360 exclusive racer Forza Horizon launches in the UK, but already we're getting reviews from critics of the final product. So, what's the verdict so far? Rather positive, it seems. Here's a round-up of all the scores you'll want to know...

IGN (9/10)- "Love Forza 4? This is the perfect companion. Love cars? This is essential. The school of thought may be that it's hard to push racing games this late in the generation, but Playground Games hasn't just moved the needle here, it's buried it."
GAMESPOT (85%)- "Despite Horizon's newfound focus on style and flash, simulation enthusiasts need not be alarmed- this is no arcade racer."
GAMESRADAR (8/10)- "Horizon is much more about exploration and less about recreating the realism of the racing experience. And while there are a few niggles under the hood, it's a rich and vast racer that's filled to the brim with lots of fun activities."
OFFICIAL XBOX MAGAZINE (9/10)- "As a street-legal version of a purebred racer, Horizon is something that anybody with an interest in cars can pick up quickly and play for ages. And if you don't like cars already, well, it might just persuade you!"

Forza Horizon races exclusively onto Xbox 360 on October 26th.
