Forza Motorsport 5

I bought this game not too long after getting an Xbox One. I also went all out and got the Thrustmaster TX wheel, a Playseat, and over time added in a 3 pedal set and the manual shifter, all which work perfectly in Forza 5. I can get why people didn't like the game due to the lack of content although it wasn't a problem for me as I'm personally going for enjoying certain cars that I want to drive and not needing to drive them all, but it would have been nice if some of the cars I did want to drive weren't paid DLC. The small amount of tracks also gets repetitive quickly especially if you race in every event in the story mode.Now that Forza 6 has come out it has pretty much corrected all of these issues: tons of cars, many more tracks, rain & night driving, better/more intense force feedback for wheel users, more events, specialty events, and much more. One thing I did like more about Forza 5 though was the Top Gear voice overs were more informative about the car classes and specific cars for the opening of each new series of races in the story mode where in Forza 6 it's just a few rushed tidbits about the cars.Now that Forza 6 is out I recommend buying it as well but Forza 5 is still worth playing, at least for the achievements and also for those die hard Motorsport fans and sim racers just to have a new story and goals to progress towards and also for someone who is new to the Forza Motorsport series and might just want to try it out by getting the older, cheaper game. I personally never really got into Forza Horizon 2 however I've put hundreds of hours into this game, even though it isn't perfect (and Forza 6 is so much better) what this game did get right were the graphics and pretty good racing physics which allowed me to have lots of fun with my Thrustmaster wheel setup and sparked an interest to want to go a lot further into the world of sim racing.

Forza 5 is an amazing racing game that adds great fun and excitement to the start of a new generation. Most can assume what the game consists of, so i'll just skip describing the jist of it. While the track and car numbers is limited, there is plenty of content to keep you busy. There are still a ton of great car's, and each track has different ways to be raced (forward, backward, only half the track being used, etc.) Most people have an issue with the micro transactions. I personally could care less, as I won't ever spend money on tokens to buy cars, i'll just earn them the normal way. I agree they shouldn't be in the game, but for me, it ultimately has no effect on how I see the game. The Graphics are absolutely phenomenal! Incredibly realistic, especially in the vista mode. Overall, this is a great entry into the Forza franchise, and a great start for the new gen. 9/10

It's a fun game and my children love playing the game and the cars are awesome

Great game. Passes time nicely

PROS:- Top Gear. fantastic.- Playing Forza 5 while snapping Top Gear UK on Netflix is epic- visuals are beautiful- voice-overs are excellent- music is taken seriously, excellent. a far cry better than the usual wussy fake rock that you have to suffer through in most racers- turning off the assists and racing in the opposite direction is good for some laughs.- the fit and finish, shimmer and sheen of the game is glorious.NEUTRAL:- fairly long loading times- you don't race real life racers, you race your offline friend's avatars. okay I guess, that's fine...- your avatar wins credits racing against other people while you are not playing which is sort of neat, but the amount of credits earned isn't worth much.- if you don't know who the Top Gear folks are, the jokes, the insults back and forth, the Stig, none of this will make any sense whatsoever and in fact might be annoying. Not Everyone is a fan of the BBC...I'd personally like to see an entire Top Gear game from Turn 10 where I get to race insane nonsense creations against the hosts...CONS:- limited number of tracks. some are beautiful (Prague, etc) but you'll repeat them ad infinitum.- limited number of everything else, there are no weather effects, day/night, etc- although there are a decent amount of cars, there is no way to own a lot of them without playing this game every day for the rest of your life. earning credits takes too long so you will be required to pay real money to get them faster. spend a million credits on a car you don't like? tough luck. I even got 300,000 free by logging into the Forza website, but it doesn't matter. I'll need to race 30 races to get enough to buy a high performance car...I don't have that kind of time...- even if you come in every race 1st, you always start near last. there are no qualifying runs. starting near last means the guy in front doesn't have to contend with all the bumper car-style traffic nonsense that can knock you out of control...and you feel dirty hitting the Y button to correct it...- the game pointlessly uses 2 methods of purchasing power, credits and tokens. they do the same thing so why use 2?- the game sort of cheats from time to time. I played using the default settings. In a few races, I lost because the game AI assists would continuously break even though I was on a straightaway with nothing but a sea of blue arrows...I have NO IDEA what was going on there but it was NOT fun to see my car breaking for NO reason while cars sail on by...- I played beyond level 50, nearly all of the series, and yet I still don't think I "figured out the trick to the game" -- Do I pick speed? Acceleration? Speed, acceleration and handling? A good mix? Just pick the one they recommend? I could pick a car with all 10s and still spin out of control. Pick a different car with average stats and get through multiple series without hitting the REWIND button even once, never spinning out of control, not even when someone else hit me, or me them...After all this time, racing the same tracks over and over and over ad nauseum, I just don't "get" this game...In the end, I think MS needed some good launch titles fast and Turn10 churns out good products, so this is the result. With the limited number of tracks, etc, it feels unfinished. With the Top Gear guys, it feels glorious. It's a mix, just like the Xbox One itself...
