I have been too into playing this game it is really engaging and it feels like I am really driving. the microtransactions I have not noticed this game just feels perfect in every way when you are in steering wheel view they nailed it perfectly.

The most beautiful racing game around; Drivatar is a genuinely novel new feature; Top Gear integration adds a bit of humour;

Around half the cars and tracks of Forza 4; Expensive DLC and microtransactions; Static tracks lack life;

Forza Motorsport 5 is the latest edition of the racing franchise taking advantage of the infinite power of the cloud, setting a new bar for racing games.

Coin doublers. I first bought one of those in Jetpack Joyride . I played it for a few hours, then decided I wanted access to more coins to buy more things more quickly. It was hardly excruciating giving over the price of a Mars Bar to get double my coin income, and seeing as I got the game for free...

I have to admit that I do not usually get into the nuances of car setups, tuning, etc., so you can take this as a review coming from an average race gamer. I really love playing this game, as frustrating as it can be, because it relies on you to be very technical in your driving as you add realism...

Amazing graphics - Racing physics are solid - Love the realism options - makes it where you can go from really kid friendly to adult awesome! - Drivatar out there earning you additional credits is a great add

- Reduction in tracks and cars is disappointing

Forza Motorsport 5 is the third of the three exclusive launch titles currently available for the Xbox One. Along with Ryse: Son of Rome , Forza Motorsport 5 pushes the limits of the Xbox One to produce some of the highest quality graphics seen on any video game console ever.

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

Over the last five years, my favorite sim racing series has definitely been Forza Motorsport . While the PC games often model physics and tracks more accurately, they don't have the budgets of the big-name console games for the licensing of hundreds of cars, and there's no distinct control advantage...

. While the PC games often model physics and tracks more accurately, they don't have the budgets of the big-name console games for the licensing of hundreds of cars, and there's no distinct control advantage if you have a steering wheel that works just as well on Xbox 360 as it does on PC.

There's something about the racing genre that holds a special place in the gaming world. There's no story to push you forward. There's no allocating skill points to improve your character. There's no intricate series of button combinations to remember to execute an on-screen move.
