I love the range of ability to either be stealth or just go all out and attack everybody in this game. I never played the earlier Hitmans but this game sure played well. Even as a linear game, I love every moment of it. Definitely an underrated title that one must own.

I don't know if this is better than the first or not. It's definitely a bigger map than the first Forza Horizon. I'm not real drawn on the whole drivatar system that these Forza games now have. I felt better with a computer A.I. There is definitely a lot more to do in this game than the first one. With a whole bunch of races and bucket lists to do, one will be busy for a while.
