Forza Horizon

Date played: October 7th
Platform: Xbox 360
Session fun rating: 6/10

The hotel I'm staying in has an Xbox 360 in the lobby with the first Forza Horizon game. I was waiting for some colleagues to come down so we could go to dinner, so I played an event as I waited. I was driving a little Volkswagen Corrado and raced against some hot air balloons! I won the event easily.

It's kind of crazy how bad the game looks graphically compared to Horizon 2 and Motorsport 6 on Xbox One. I think also the 360 wasn't set to the right screen resolution, so that doesn't help. Thankfully, it still runs very well and handles perfectly, it just looks a lot muddier than the newer games.
