The article explores the allure of road trips and contrasts it with the frustrations of real-world travel, highlighting the Forza Horizon series as a unique virtual alternative. This series features expansive open-world maps inspired by breathtaking global destinations, allowing players to experience the thrill of scenic driving without the impediments of traffic or fuel concerns. Despite some games being delisted due to licensing issues, they're still accessible on Xbox Series X if previously purchased. The author offers driving tips to enhance the sightseeing experience, promoting a more leisurely approach to gameplay.
In the real world, clogged roads and energy efficiency concerns can dent your enjoyment; motor touring isn't quite what it was in its mid-20th-century heyday.
The Forza Horizon series of racing games is set in huge open-world maps based on stunning, real-world tourist destinations: Colorado, the Mediterranean coast, Australia, the British mainland, and Mexico.
Each game compresses some of its chosen area's most iconic scenery into one artfully rearranged map, studded with towns, sweeping freeways, and winding mountain roads.
Sadly, due to the car and music licensing issues that beset so many racing games, all but Forza Horizon 5 have been delisted from sale.
