Alhoewel Forza Horizon 2 voorlopig nog niet in de winkels zal komen te liggen, zo is de game blijkbaar wel toonbaar genoeg om hem door de ESRB te laten keuren.

Zoals verwacht krijgt de game gewoon het ‘E’ stempel met zich mee, wat staat voor Everyone. Maar toch zijn er een aantal interessante details naar voren gekomen, zoals dat de game wat puberaal taalgebruik bevat, en dat er dames in ‘revealing’ outfits te zien zijn.

This is a racing simulation game in which players compete with real-world cars at the fictional Horizon Festival in Southern Europe. Players can race in various modes (e.g., Circuit, Point-to-Point, Street) to earn skill/experience points and unlock new customizable cars. Opening cutscenes contain brief images of women wearing revealing outfits (e.g., bikini tops, short-shorts), including depictions close-up or with panned camera angles. In-game dialogue is sometimes suggestive: “Oh, girls, girls, girls. Behave yourselves now – come on!” “[I’m] hearing some scandalous stories . . . Come on, send me photos.” During the course of the game, car-tag modes depict car collisions and include text/voice-overs such as “If you wanna become the king, you need to hit that driver with your car,” “Wreckage,” and “You’re infected, crash into the survivors!” Accompanying song lyrics contain references to alcohol (e.g., “He had a still . . . his tumbler filled with gin”), suggestive behavior (e.g., “I wish I could love you down right now on the kitchen floor”), violence (e.g., “But if you want me to kill you, I would kill you”), and the word “damn.”

Forza Horizon 2 zal op 30 september voor de Xbox 360 en Xbox One in de winkels komen te liggen.
