Folks who are interested in purchasing Forza Horizon 2 but would rather play a demo before committing are in luck. A demo for the Xbox One title is scheduled to be released on Sept. 16, which is two weeks before the official release of the game on Sept. 30.

The demo will allow players to drive a number of cars across southern Europe. The report did not specify which cars and tracks will be available to players in the demo, but we have reasons to believe the demo will consists of the same playable content shown off at GamesCom.

For those who might not have the slightest idea what we're talking about, the video shown should fill that void.

Forza Motorsports fans that are new to the franchise might not know much about the Horizon games, and could be wondering what the heck is this abomination. Well, the Horizon games are not designed to be played like Motorsports games. The Horizon games are open world, and the driving is more on the arcade side than anything else.

Don't ever pick up Forza Horizon 2 expecting something similar to Forza Motorsports 5, disappointments will surely kick in, big time.

Bear in mind; however that Horizon 2 is based on the Forza Motorsports 5's engine, so most of the cars from that game should show up in Horizon 2. Furthermore, the Drivatar feature in the previous game will make an appearance here, and we're very happy about that.

Drivatar will enable players to race against their friends or family when they're not online. This feature is probably the best new thing to happen to driving games in a long time, and we're intrigued to see how further it can be improved in Forza Horizon 2. Keep in mind, Drivatar requires the player to be online for it to work.

Microsoft also released the list of achievements players can acquire from playing the game. It's quite extensive, so folks who are looking for a challenge and long playtime should enjoy what is on offer.

Here are the achievements players should expect from Forza Horizon 2. And remember, Forza Horizon 2 comes out on both the Xbox One and Xbox 360 on Sept. 30, 2014.
