So the meta will be below 90? Looks like another game I'm skipping this year.

Not sure if serious.

 

[foxbeldin]

Great reviews. Sounds like a fun game. Too bad i'll probably never be able to play it.

Same dude gave Watch Dogs a 9

Yeah...

Uhh, he's a big racing fan. It's not like it's the only 7-8 review I can see.

Looks like it's going to finish in the high 80's. Hopefully the early reviews, demo and streaming help the game gain a lot of sales.

Would give it 6/5?? The game is better than perfect lol, I mean the game must be good but better than a perfect score? Cmon now.

 

[Bishop89]

Never change polygon.

i havnt played the game, but I dont get comments like this.
Is it forbidden for AAA titles to score anything less than an 8?

Great reviews so far. I'm close to grabbing an X1, but I need another big title to sway me. Maybe SO can be the one.

Opinions. They can absolutely give it a 6/5 if they want. Why? They can't go to review jail.

 

[HighResTomato]

All those 9's

At least Polygon didn't give it a 6.

They should absolutely go to review jail! I didn't say they couldn't say that, I am just pointing out the ridiculousness of it

[Scanna]

The sum of these elements and tweaks makes Forza Horizon 2 a clear improvement over the first episode in the serie which surpasses in all possible aspects

VGNetwork.it - 9

 

[keit4]

Dat Polygon bias.

 

[RespectThySole]

Nice to see these great reviews. I might pick this up sooner than I expected.

They only dare touch the finest games available, like Watch_Dogs.

 

[nelchaar]

Man, Polygon just always has to be the maverick, huh. Regardless of platform. I guess that's one way to get clicks.

It really is fantastic. the demo for it is incredible..and its just a lot of fun. reminds me of PGR4. The reason the "7" is being questioned is because the game was shown off early and we were given access to it. It's a surprise because the demo was so damn good that it reflected a "9" score all around rather than a 7.

Amazing scores!
Well done Playground, congrats Mr Fulton.

Take my money!!!

Oh wait you already did, now let me play!

 

[Hoo-doo]

Some embarrasing fucking posts in this thread, by people who haven't played the full game, no less. People ridiculing the 7 scores remind me of the uncharted 3 review thread.

Good scores overall. Game looks like a winner.

 

[RdN]

Game is scoring amazingly well.. And very well deserved, it's indeed an amazing experience.

Sorry I'm going with Polygon on this one.

Saving Content - 5/5

I can’t recommend Forza Horizon 2 hard enough. If I could give it a 6/5 I would, it’s stunning to look at, the controls are tight, the sounds are soothing, and is just all around fun to play; it just hit all my happy spots. I’d have to say that this is my favorite game to date on the Xbox One. Is this worth your hard earned $60, yes it is. Oh my goodness, yes it is.

http://www.savingcontent.com/2014/09/25/forza-horizon-2-review/

So....is it almost too good??

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Look at all dem 9s O_O

It has an 85 meta so far according to the website, seemingly because official Xbox were scared to go over 80 in fear of bias and because......polygon.

Well it works for them doesn't it? Every other post here is about Polygon.

Your not going to be giving up on this one I see.

 

[D'ultimate]

The metacritc score would probably be 89ish at the moment if Polygon weren't such "mavericks" in their scoring.

 

[Gambit61]

We had any impressions (let alone reviews) on the 360 version yet?

Been looking around all week for info on it, the only thing they've released so far is one screenshot lol.

 

[Vestax]

They have to stand out somehow for those clickety-clicks.

This game is getting great reviews, wow. I guess I'll give it a shot pre-owned or after a price drop.

7 and 8 hold two different mindsets, you know that.

Content of review is most important though.

 

[s-bojan]

Anything about the differences between One and 360 version?

Did uncharted 3 have an open demo for everyone and allow for live streaming before the game came out?

I think that is why the score doesnt reflect the quality of the game in this case, because many of us have played part of the game.

Lol a few silly posts aside in this thread. Nothing was worse than that UC3 thread. That was full blown fanboy meltdowns. Many of whom rightfully ended up on the 'wall of shame' that went round the internet.
