Before I'd finished the first lap of the first race of Forza Motorsport 5's career mode, it was clear to me that I was playing a very good game. The quality of the visuals smack you in the face right out the gate. The interior of the cabin is detailed, almost photorealistic.

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

Part two of the three part Xbox One launch title retrospective pulls into high gear.

Forza Motorsport races back onto our screens, this time as an Xbox One launch title, looking to showcase the new Xbox's power.

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.

I wish to let it be known im a massive Gran Turismo fan on playstation, but i can honestly say i think im a convert. Forza has truly impressed me with its realism, its detailed graphics and amazing variety of races and challenges.

The best detailed simulation Racing game out there. You can't beat forza in terms of details. Keep in mind, this game is a SERIOUS Racing game and not like NEED FOR SPEED. This game is more for the people who are Car Enthusiasts and not for those who just want to crazy stuff with their cars in...
