The pinnacle of Forza and open-world racers. A masterclass in atmosphere and presentation in it's genre and has an original spark that is lacking from subsequent entries. Even if you've played any of the other Horizon games and are hesitant to revisit an older iteration, Horizon 1 is a much more structured and confident game than any of the titles that followed.

O melhor jogo de corrida já feito. Sem mais.

It gives the feelings that NFS Underground gave back in the day. Really awesome

Why can't forza be like this again

the game blew me away when i first played it


Playground plz remaster this GOAT

Forza Horizon is the inverse of Horizon 4 for me. Where everything I liked and disliked about that game has been flipped with this. There's a sparse linearity to the progression here. It's just race and unlock wristbands. Likewise a sparseness to the map itself. There's virtually no off road racing in this game, no destructible environments to the point of making a checkpoint or way marker useless by way of rumbling across the terrain. I think it's pretty telling that the last three games in the series feature an SUV on the cover alongside some sort of supercar. In contrast, Horizon 1 is pretty much all highways, all coated in a warm, autumn Colorado sunset. It reminds me a lot of NFS Hot Pursuit 2010, just minus the police and a lot more infectious and fun to play. There's an actual story and characters in this game and a genuine reason to race in events. I enjoyed beating the shallow arrogant villain racers, especially Darius Flynt (what a name). It's something the Horizon 3 and 4 really lacked. I thought the festival atmosphere made the most sense too, felt like the most realistic actual festival setting - basically Coachella with race events for some reason (the concept itself is still fairly unbelievable). Features a small, but manageable car list that actively encourages and necessitates variety in which cars you race.

All good things to say in comparison to where I think the series evolved with Horizon 4. But saying all that, I still find this game to be empty and utterly sanitised. The driving physics are still rad and pretty much the same. It's a fun game to play, but it still feels a bit too easy. And I'm hypocritical, but I find the strict adherence to road racing a detriment to the fun. It's not really an open world racer. It's an open world menu screen where you can drove to whichever track event you want to participate in. It's a good blueprint for what's to come, sadly I think they went too far with it and kind of lost whatever identity they were striving for. I also don't find the car presentation in this game to be that appealing, something it shares with Horizon 4. The cars barely feel like they exist. Just a bit dated. Fun. But really just a sanitised, slightly better Need for Speed.

Excelente juego, los autos se manejan muy bien y la premisa psra correr es muy divertida.

Easily the best and my favorite racing game of all time.
the music, races, rivals, the feeling of being at a car festival and lots of indie music playing ooof

play this and feel like you're in 2012 again

THE best forza game together with FM4, the progression is very neat, the atmosphere is amazing and it's really fun to drive around the festival. Turn 10 nailed it with this one and then it went downhill from there (I don't know about 2 tho since I still haven't played it)

Sdds de dirigir ouvindo R U Mine do Arctic Monkeys

This game came up to me when I was in a "car guy" phase. And I'm glad it did. I LOVED customizing, tuning, everything. I loved making my car, MY car. This game isn't a racing game. Its an homage to the car culture that people, including myself at times, have come to love. Totally worth a play.

É IMPOSSÍVEL ter um jogo de corrida melhor que esse.

melhor progresso em corridas

There's no better feeling than winning the last race of a game with a 500 hp Beetle.

Jogo Magnifico, cada detalhe deste jogo é impecavel

Fans of the Forza Horizon series should definitely give the first entry a try. It is more linear than the sequels, but it oozes with charm and personality. The servers have since been shut down but the bulk of the game features are still available. Players seeking 100% achievement completion may want to avoid the title though.

Incredible, this remains the best Horizon game in the franchise, and basically defined my childhood (as of Horizon 5)

Masterpiece. The last innovative and creative forza game with STORY elements, still holds up

quite possibly the best racing game I've ever played.

esse eh seu jogo favorito? o que mais você gosta? malbec? cerveja? tatuagem de leão realista? clube de stripper?


Melhor franquia de jogo de corrida

Uno de los mejores juegos de carreras del mercado, mundo interesante con gameplay entretenido, una historia sencilla pero que cumple con su objetivo, amplia variedad de autos y personalización que aseguran horas de juego

Lembro até hoje quando comprei esse jogo pro meu XBOX 360, foi uma alegria tão gostosa. O jogo era simplesmente incrível, arrisco dizer ser o melhor jogo de corrida que já joguei até hoje. A época em que essa franquia era boa, recompensadora e tinha "HISTÓRIA". Hoje em dia é triste o que a franquia se tornou. Um jogo de corrida cheio de recompensas que você não liga e não tem conteúdo algum, apenas corridas no mapa, sem nexo.

My one gripe about having converted to the Playstation is that I will no longer be able to play the Forza Horizon series, which is undoubtedly the best racing car series I've ever played. And it all started with Forza Horizon 1 for the Xbox 360. It's the smallest and less ambitious of all of them, but is such a fun entry in its own right.
