The weather effects in Storm Island are really impressive sheets of rain swirl across the track, trees almost double over in the wind and fog hangs over the track to conceal hidden dangers. As if that wasn’t enough to contend with, you are forced to use a pre-selected vehicle with no option to tweak the parts. They are particularly tricky to navigate, not least because of the tight turns and high jumps but because of the harsh storm rolling around in the background attempting to distract your attention from the road. This extreme offroad event takes place on floodlit courses in the dead of night. Each tier has its own mini finale – Gauntlet. Each tier has four championships that span across the different car classes, you can use your current cars that you have stored in your garage but be warned, if you don’t install the Storm Island mods your ride will have trouble clinging to the terrain. There are six tiers you need to progress through if you are to reach the island finale, although you won’t have to complete them all to unlock it. With 90 events that include new modes and cars to race, Bucket lists to dominate and discount boards to find and smash, you won’t be left feeling short-changed after dropping £15.99 (£7.99 for VIP members) on this great piece of DLC.

The action takes place on the fictional tropical island of Isola Della Tempesta (Island Storm), its terrain is harsh and its weather is devilish. Forza Horizon 2: Storm Island is the first piece of DLC that expands upon the content of the main game.
