The original Forza Motorsport added some much needed racing simulation to the original Xbox, which until that point only had the drift-heavy Project Gotham to appease car fans. It also put Microsoft's console head to head with Sony's PS2 in the eyes of many racing purists, which had the phenomenally...

Forza Motorsport 5 is the 6th game in the Forza series since it launched in 2005. It is was one of the most highly anticipated games of the Xbox One's launch. As usual, the game follows the premise that you're a career driver competing in different competitions to earn credits and unlock different...

Lifelike Sound; Top Gear Commentary; Great Graphics

Lack Of Content; Terrible Economy; Microtransactions

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

Great game. Would play it a again in the future, when I have the time

I was so excited to purchase this game. Finally I bought it at Gamestop for 59.99 plus tax. Took it home and thought the graphics and details were unbelievable. This is a great game for adults not so much for kids.

Real Graphics, ability to purchase new cars and upgrade cars; Awesome game for competitive racers

Not for kids younger than 13; Takes too long between race times

I can't tell you how many hours I spent playing Forza Horizon. Even today it still remains one of my top five racing games of all time, so I was understandably excited (but not surprised) when Forza Motorsport 5 was announced as an Xbox One launch title.

Positives Stunning visuals, sound, and classy BBC presentation; Excellent controls thanks to impulse triggers on new gamepad

Negatives Drivatars are constant source of frustration turning single-player games into multiplayer demolition derbies; So many events but a reduced amount of cars and tracks make things overly repetitive; Super-long load times for each race

It's a great game in terms of gameplay and graphics. However it just needs a bit more variety to it. Basically soon as you win a championship the only real options you have next is to choose a new league to compete in, (there are quite a few leagues to choose from) then upgrade your current car or...

fast delivery great game; none

All in all, Forza 5 is a beautiful game, with plenty of achievements to unlock, cars to buy and badges to collect. Whilst it may be lacking in cars and tracks, it is an impressive showcase of what the Xbox One can achieve. Ultimately, if you're a fan of Forza, you'll buy this.

for grandson's new X box - Excellent graphics and alternative options for view while playing ie as if you are in driving seat or view the car and another? Lots of circuits. He loves it!

Forza 5 certainly shows off the potential for the Xbox One from a visual and technological point of view as the Drivatar's are quite a novel idea and they did provide a competitive race experience in an offline format.
