    Forza 5 isn't a fluke. It's the product of almost a decade of refinement, evolution and an unbelievable amount of experience on Turn 10's part. In essence, this is a game without any real weaknesses.

    The fifth lap in the Forza Motorsport series is a great start for the speed genre in Xbox One, and the first truly must-have for Microsoft's new hardware.

    Forza Motorsport 5 is what die hard fans of turn 10 deserve. Stunning visuals and great sim-like handling are the highlights of the game, but we need more tracks and cars.

    Technically impressive, but limited on new ideas. Drivatar is the closest to innovation Forza 5 comes, but needs more depth to be worthwhile.

    Forza 5 is as spectacular and solid as ever, but you can't ignore the fact that there's a clear content cutback from the previous game.

    Forza 5 will do as a holdover racing game for now, but for all the bombast that next-gen brings, the game is awfully stagnant, and its lack of competition has never been more apparent.

    Forza Motorsport 5 becomes a game that is outstanding in specific, limited situations, but overall, it's kind of a drag.

The controls are slick and the feedback from the controllers make the game even better! I'm even considering buying the wheel and I never buy the wheel! Note there's going to be a lot of PlayStation fam Boyz coming on here to smash the game.. just remember to report them. if you're going to buy any game on xbox one it would be this one! A game that truly deserves for the first time I've ever reviewed anything An actual 10! Buy it! Expand

    Jogo muito bom!! Realmente falou uma historia maior por trás do jogo, acho que ficaria mais legal, mas não tira o brilho do jogo de forma alguma!

The tracks areI've been playing racing sims for a long time (pretty much as long as they have existed) and Forza 5 is by far my favorite. The tracks are gorgeous, the cars (non DLC) are plentiful, and the AI is interesting. I'm definitely a fan of the Drivatars, even though they can be a little impolite at times. I do not view DLC as a problem with this game. There are more than enough cars to satisfy, and when Turn 10 added a new track (Road America), it was free of charge.

    Also, great job on the online gameplay.

Even withAll I can say is that having played all the forza games this was a massive disappointment. The main issue is the lack of content. Even with all the DLC I am super bored of doing the same tracks over and over again. The game feels totally half finished and it feels like the developers are forcing you into buying the DLC just so you don't get bored. The career mode lacks direction and gets boring pretty quickly as there's really no/little rewards to motivate you to keep playing so there's very little sense of achievement or progression. They've also not included some of the best features of the previous games such as the popular auction house which is disappointing.

    That being said the multiplayer is the saving grace of the game, as the racing is competitive and fun and its super easy to find well populated lobbies. However quite often it does feel like whoever has the quickest setup wins, meaning the average joe has no chance. Its worth noting that the game has split screen which is rare these days as most developers don't seem to bother. Other than that the graphics are decent and certain tracks in particular look lush (prague is beautiful), there's still a good array of cars (although less than previous forza's) and the extensive tuning and paint options are still there.

    At the time of writing this game has been out for a while now and if you can find a very cheap copy it's worth a punt if you're a racing fan, but if not I'd recommend either getting the brilliant project cars instead or waiting for forza 6 and hoping its better than this.

    What was once the king of simulation racing games is now a shadow of its former self. There are two things that completely ruined this gameWhat was once the king of simulation racing games is now a shadow of its former self. There are two things that completely ruined this game for me. First were the micro-transactions that essentially made the game pay to have an advantage, and second is the "always online drivatar". They essentially made the game "always online" even when you arent by forcing you to race with real peoples drivatars. Drivitars are basically bots that remember other peoples playstyles. This means that races are now **** of cars ramming eachother and not following the correct ways to race unless you feel like playing on the hardest difficulties way above most peoples skill level. Also, the game has a "rival" mechanic. This mechanic is completely broken as it buffs a random racer on the track to the point where no mater what place they are in, they will win and there is nothing you can do about it. Your rival will have a car that has a performance level way above yours, meaning no matter how hard you try you wont win as a class B Mazda Miata is suddenly doing 200mph down a straight away way out of your reach. Its sad really, really wanted this game but now its on my list of Christmas returns. Expand
