On the eve of Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012 we received an exclusive invite to preview Xbox 360's hottest racing game for 2012, "Forza Horizon."

Described as an "open world action racing game" by Ralph Fulton, Design Director at Playground Games, "Forza Horizon" takes the excitement of the automotive world and combines it with the authenticity that the "Forza Motorsport" series is known for. Introducing mixed surface and dirt racing, and featuring a massive Colorado landscape that covers everything from mountain highways to dusty ting roads, "Forza Horizon" has taken the world of "Forza Motorsport" and made it bigger and more diverse than ever.
