Experience the adrenaline & dangers of professional racing with this inmersive banger of a game. The music and presentation are incredible, and while races have no music the majority of time, when it kicks in is utterly perfect, the soundtrack is definitely between my all-time favorites. The handling it's hard at first, but once you get use to it you will even be even better in other racing games, because this game will give you precision and sensibility at the wheel, but don't get it twisted, this game is still an arcade racer, you will be going at the same speed of a Need For Speed around the corners, sometimes I feel that is even faster with driving assists on. The physics are truly remarkable, specially in colissions, were you can even damage the car til' the performance is affected or there is terminal damaged, all of it being visually stunning and realistic. The game in general it's pretty simple, but effective, with a modest amount of vehicles compared to its predecessors but with a list of tracks and events pretty complete and varied.

The multiplayer mode is incredible for league racing, all battles are hard fought and there can be a good amount of chaos if an accident occurs. I have so many fond memories from playing with my friends via Gameranger. Still, the game is not available online and redeem codes are pricey (Not even mentioning that those reedem code stores are fishy as hell), physical copies have better prices if you have an external disc drive. I had to borrow a DRM-Free digital copy that a friend bought when it was available in GOG, a copy that ended up sharing with all of us. I definitely don't know if downloading a DRM-free game (meaning that it can be shared) that complies with the definition of Abandonware from a page online is piracy or not, if not I suggest you to download it LOL

An incredibly unique game, but challenging as well, in fact is all about the challenge. It has an easy handling model that anyone can pick up and master with time, but thats not even half the things you have to master to be good at the game, you still have the point system and combos, multiple vehicles that feel different from each other and multiple stunt types and courses. This game doesn't have a learning curve, the learning curve is the entire game. You WILL need to restart multiple times every level, levels that are extremely good designed. The presentation of the game is truly epic, full of pop culture references and hilarious settings for the scenes, with some funny dialogue.

This game is really not a relaxing experience, I feel like its better played trying to 100%-it, I would only recommend this game to an experienced arcade racer player or a fan of the Driver series.

I adore Stuntman: Ignition, it's an exciting and difficult challenge with a incredibly fun presentation.

If the servers were still online and thriving this may be the greatest Forza of all time, but still it's the best open world racer, it personally makes me forget all about NFS MW.

This game is absolutely fun and has a incredible setting, presentation, music, game modes, varied activities, characters with incredible amounts of charisma that makes you more invested on the grind to be the Horizon Champion, a story that doesn't distract you from the racing and many more ideas that were given life in this game that didn't have to dissapear or transform in consequent games. I just can say this damned world doesn't deserve something like the first Forza Horizon, that's why online services are gone with a great part of the game now lost in time and not being re-released anytime soon.

What they can't take away from us is that it's still the best singleplayer experience from any Horizon game. Absolutely worth trying, you just need a physical copy to put it on your Xbox 360, Xbox One or Xbox Series X (YES, even if its delisted the game is still backwards compatible)
