The Xbox 360 version does not include the weather system such as rain or 'drivatar' found in the more-powerful Xbox One version, and also omits tuning and the free-roam open-world (as very few barriers can be broken through and crossed), with Playground Games calling the two versions 'different games'.

It received an aggregated score of 86.25% on based on 53 reviews and 86/100 on based on 82 reviews.

Writing for IGN, Luke Reilly said that the game had 'comprehensively updated' the standards for open-world racing games and that it was ', and all crammed into a T-shirt cannon and fired into your face'. Conversely, Polygon's Arthur Gies, while giving the game a positive review, said that the track design in Forza Horizon 2 'can't compete' with the licensed tracks used in Forza Motorsport 5. Jonathan Leack of CraveOnline called the game 'racing paradise' and 'a highly enjoyable destination for anyone willing to buckle up behind a wheel'. Leack also compared the two separate versions of the game and discovered a number of differences. As an example, when players are given the option to choose their first car at the start of the game, the Xbox 360 version uses a graphic interface, while the Xbox One version lets the players choose the cars in-world.

Calling the Xbox One version a 'system-seller' and 'a good time to invest in next-gen', Leack said that Sumo Digital 'has done a fantastic job' with the Xbox 360 version and that it was 'one of the best-looking racing games on the platform'.

Hello there!They is a post at the top of this forum room explaining what to do for this but ill tell you:)Okay so firstly i would advise you to check TrueAchievements.com. Achievements can be tricky buggers and these guys have an excellent collection on what to do to earn each one.After that you can try this:1. It may sounds obvious but make sure you are connected to Xbox Live and attempt to unlock it again2.Go to the Achievement detail view on Xbox.com or in your Xbox One Console to double check whether it is still locked3.

If they are still locked then wait 72 hours and then check Xbox.com or the console to see if it has unlocked, it may unlock whilst you are away from the device4. Thanks for response. I'm a regular at TA and I use the site a lot to help me know what exactly have to be done to unlock tricky achievement. However, those aren't tricky, they are really obvious. I have to smash every reward board, drive every road, findcar in a barn and I did it. Stats show correct numbers.

I remember that when I played it I hade some problems with other achievements from Storm Island too, I tried to get 5 wins and it unlocked only recently after my. Another, with buying 'StormIsland's equipment' didn't unlock at first time too, it did few days later when I did it again. Unfortunately, I cannot drive every road again if I have already done it, I cannot discover barn find if it is done and barn is empty (I even got an achievementfor winning a race with this car from that barn). Honestly, not meeting the requirements is not the case.1. I was connected to Xlive at that time, trying to redo it is impossible.2.

Yes, roads stuck at 90%, the rest at 0%.3. I unlocked them one month ago. I'm launching the game every day so I can check if it unlocks or not.4. Ok, I can give it another go but I don't think that doing it over and over again with prayers is the solution. Anyway, nothing to lose.I also filled the survey, I'm not sure when exactly but it was shortly after the achievements glitched, so probably over 3 weeks ago.
