Review of 'Forza Horizon 2' for Xbox One

Forza Horizon 2 gives you so much freedom that it's the things you can't do which you'll notice. Speeding 174 miles per hour down the highway blasting the 1812 Overture, I hydroplaned my Lamborghini and crashed into the rail-guard. I should have careened through the pouring night sky and sailed over the edge into the Mediterranean Ocean. Instead, I bounced off of the impenetrable wall and the race continued as if nothing happened.
