You’ll control different characters in each mission, sometimes jumping between them multiple times in a single mission, although the game will tell you when to do so.

It’s about what you’d expect from a Fast and Furious story: minimal logic, but lots of mayhem. The story involves a secret, historic underground criminal organization of highway thieves that clashes with the game’s heroes, raising the stakes until cars are flying through the air, wrecking balls get involved, and vehicles get turned into mobile hacking platforms.
They operate in the world of the Fast and Furious films, and when they find themselves in over their heads, they reach out to a contact who might be able to help: Letty (Rodriguez), who gets the rest of the “family” involved. A criminal underground of highway thievesĬrossroads introduces a new crew of street racers and outlaws led by Vienna Cole (Martin-Green).

If you want to give it a try before the free period expires, you can download and here for Xbox One and here for Xbox 360 (but it won't look as good).I understand that impulse, especially after playing the game itself. Yet, this is a movie tie-in done right, probably taking advantage of the enormous marketing money of a film to offer us what's basically a free game, and a fun one on top of it.

In addition to that, it definitely looks the part, and Forza Horizon 2's engine really makes the Toretto-style Dodge Charger R/T and the other cars chosen for the " Fast & Furious" experience shine. It's also big enough to be identified as a freebie more than a demo, adding one more coat of "cool" paint to the whole thing. Not only it offers one of the best demos I've seen for a racing game, but it uses the popularity of the movies to entice people into downloading it. The whole operation is quite the stroke of genius. Yesterday Microsoft released Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious, a stand-alone expansion of Forza Horizon 2 that is free until April 10th and offers a large chunk of the experience of PlayGround Games' tying it in with the upcoming Furious 7 flick.
