Great that the Top Gear boys did the narrating, but the car list sucks hard. It's about a quarter the amount that was in the fourth game. Loved the Franchise until i played this trash.

This game is amazing. The Graphics are simply the best out of any racing game ever released. However, it is missing lots of cars and tracks. Turn 10 got rid of a lot of content because of graphics issues, and you can see it in the game. Overall, a great game lacking content.

Despite a long history of gradual improvements, the racing genre doesn't always reflect the real-world track life: there is one winner, and dozens of losers. Not so on the track – position and rank pay off, and every single car and driver are there to compete, though many aren't ready to be number...

Breathtaking graphical presentation; Lifelike and throaty sound; Drivatar concept works in concept and in practice; Wide difficulty scale options

Drastic reduction in tracks and cars; No weather or nighttime races; Multiplayer timeout issues; Questionable economic choices

I awarded Forza Motorsport 4 a perfect score on the Xbox 360 and bought hundreds of dollars' worth of sim-racing peripherals to play it. It is safe to say then, that I am a fan of the Forza series and a sim-racing enthusiast.

Native 1080p @ 60fps; Unmatched sound design; Great 16 car online multiplayer; Works great with new Xbox One controller; Drivatars bring life to offline races

Unwanted monetisation; Less tracks; Less cars; Less value

For decades the weakest part of the racing game experience has been the AI. Artificial intelligence in racing games poses a grand challenge for developers, because if an AI racer drives perfectly it doesn't look real - and if they mess up too often their mistakes can look scripted (or, as was the...

Forza 5 completes the transformation from racing simulator to a celebration of cars. Like its Top Gear influence, Forza 5 will appeal to the casual racer just as much as the motoring enthusiasts thanks to its deep assists and the evolving brilliance of the Drivatar system.

+ Stunning visuals; + Drivatar system; + New physics; + Top Gear content

- Only 14 tracks; and less cars than Forza 4

Fantastic game! Excellent racing simulation or casual racing (by turning on the assists). Outstanding graphics and sounds. Great value as there are so many races to complete and so many cars to buy! Highly recommended!

After co-developing last year's Forza Horizon with Playground Games, Turn 10 Studios returns to the series proper with Forza Motorsport 5. Is the franchise's Xbox One debut a continuation of the developer's winning ways? Nik Hardy takes a look.

Great aesthetics; Drivatar brings the fun back; New controller is a blessing; Bathurst

A lot less content than is usual for the series; High-priced DLC

More than the obvious new platform reasons, Forza 5 presents a new shift for racing simulations. The only thing major thing still missing from Forza is dynamic weather or an option for it.

Legendary.
