Xbox's Backwards Compatibility List is Incomplete

While driving games aren't something I usually enjoy, I'm always happy to try one out if it's set in an open world. It's the ones that have you on a set racing track that I don't like, because it's just going around and around... Back on the PlayStation I quite enjoyed the Colin McRae Rally games from Codemasters that my brother kept buying, because they weren't boring road circuits. Weirdly, I really hate being forced to race in non-racing games, despite those usually being open worlds...

That's some backstory as to why I decided to take a look at Forza Horizon 5 when it was released on Game Pass. I thought that the E3 trailer and the gamescom showcase were fantastic, and they actually got me excited for a racing game. It was set in the "whole" of Mexico, just like The Crew was set in the "whole" United States of America, and I enjoyed that.

Turns out, it's actually a fantastic game, and deservedly won awards; it also made me want to check out the rest of the games in the Forza Horizon series. Unfortunately, only Forza Horizon 4 was still on sale, and also available on Game Pass. Curiously, however, I found that I already owned Forza Horizon 2 thanks to Games With Gold in 2018, so I could also download that to my Xbox Series X.

Of course, wanting more Forza Horizon, I installed both 2 & 4, and played through the second game. Since it was also an Xbox 360 game, the Xbox One version had limitations compared to the latest entry, such as lots of immovable trees, fences and walls. Still, I was very curious how the franchise had changed over the years.
