Yeah, that's something I've noticed too. There's a definite DiRT 2 vibe to Horizon. Mind you, quite a few of the Playground guys are ex-Codies, so that's where that link comes from.

Regarding the embedded video; Those guys have clearly been taking (a lot of) inspiration from Codemasters Dirt 2. Don't ya think?

Also, wish this was on Playstation :(

Nice review but I'm pretty sure "World-class handling and physics" is meant to be a positive in the summary.
