Is it still worth playing?

Playground Games' 2012 open world racing game for the Xbox 360, set at the fictional Horizon Festival, a street racing event in Colorado. You progress by winning races and by raising your popularity, which comes from drifting, jumping obstacles and driving on two wheels, with chained combos raising race payouts. Higher popularity unlocks showcase events, such as races against helicopters and planes. As for the races, they are casual street racing on temporarily closed public roads, in circuit, off road rally and point to point forms. Any racer you meet can also be challenged to a one on one race to a location. Between races the map holds speed traps that set top speed times for rivals to beat, and barn find cars that can be restored and added to your garage. A road map where the next race is always close still makes it easy to pick up today.
