This and Wreckfest are my all-time favorite racing games [that] I recommend for max. fun. The Forza Horizon 4 game is almost as good as this FH game 5. A very very close second place to game 5.

Yes, it had bugs galore for about a year or so, but those are gone. Playground Games has made a super game in this one. It is a challenging simcade or the difficulty level can be turned down to arcade.

The cars are PLENTIFUL realistic-looking and easy to get. They are customizable and adjustable; they drive quite well when tuned right.

The car collecting is half the fun. There are probably (no exaggeration) 1000 vehicles here, of all makes and models.

If you have a nicer PC or console you can enjoy some realistic & pretty landscape in the large Mexico map. Or do buy Forza Horizon 4 and enjoy England too! Very pretty, very detailed; they both are great visually. England is lush and just gorgeous and has four seasons of realistic weather.

Alot can be said about this game. There are SO many reviews.

A negative part of my review I "must" verbalize though. The first expansion of the set in the nation of Mexico game is an unrelated mini-game called Hot Wheels. It is a roller-coaster theme park set about a mile above Mexico (the map).

Playground Games PROMISED the $100 full game customers, in advance, two major expansions before they ended development of FH5. I bought the game before the first expansion landed. I bought it on day one, already owning and playing FH4.

The rally expansion is the only expansion of THIS game and it is very well done. It expands the Mexico map nicely.

I criticized the Hot Wheels fake expansion alot on discussions. This caught the eye of Playground employees in England and they posed as Steam moderators and removed 8 months of my discussions, about all that I EVER did write about on the Steam strorefront's discussion forum from launch day itself. Playground Games permanently banned me too, in fact.

It was the bitter comments about losing, in my estimation, [of] about $20 on a false 1st expansion. They were afraid of losing potential business.

Steam admitted (eventually) that they let Playground pose as Steam moderators and make this absurd disciplinary decision. The thing I did wrong? One veiled profanity (word) and a profane word that is slang for feces.

Steam went against the perma-ban when I cornered them but they had already scrubbed eight months of comments, made about anything. Anything.

*So you must get that I really like this game alot to give it a hearty thumbs up anyway. If you like the racing game genre GET THIS GAME.*
