It's a credit to Turn 10's physics modelling that the cars handle some well in the mud and wet. If you found racing in the main game satisfying, you are going to find Storm Island absolutely exhilarating. ![]() All the races are along extreme courses that'll have you fighting for control as you bounce around and gain ridiculously big air.

With the release of Forza Horizon 2's DLC expansion, Storm Island, I finally have just the reason that I needed to return to Microsoft's Xbox One exclusive racer. In unleashing Turn 10's sublime vehicle handling physics onto the open road, Sledgehammer Games provided me with a much more fulfilling experience than that of Forza 5's constrained circuit racing. ![]() Last year Forza Horizon 2 sucked me into its world and held my attention long past the point at which usually I abandon a game and move onto the next.
