Doing a burnout or a donut feel visually satisfying. The dust effects in the desert sections look awesome and the same can be said for the mud and water effects in the jungles. I have literally ended up spending weekend hours simply roaming around the streets and marveling at the biomes.Īnd how can I not mention the weather effects? There are dust storms and torrential rains trying to strike your cute little Supra with lightning. You have to play this game in 4K the gravel textures in off-road sections, the overflowing wildlife in the jungle sections, and the beautiful city of Guanajuato – they all have been created with love.

One of them literally pits you against a Mexican wrestler, but instead of using your hands, you get behind the wheel of a tastefully modified Ford Focus 2017 and participate in whacky challenges. Moreover, the Mexican influence is infused into the characters you deal with, or with some Adventure missions. The wheelspin system is the same as in Forza Horizon 4 – rewarding when you get classic cars, stupid when you get a pair of socks for your character. Smash through trees, drift-tap cars, trade paint with others there's point to be scored for everything.Īnd, if you race in the events, there are wheelspins and Accolades to be unlocked.
