This year marks the tenth anniversary of Forza Motorsport which began on the original Xbox as a direct competitor for the Playstation's Grand Turismo series. Now ten years later, the series makes its second appearance on the Xbox One with the sixth game in the series.
Looks and sounds great as usual; Wet weather effects are excellent; Huge roster of intricately detailed cars and new tracks; Accessible controls
Night effects are unconvincing; Puddles are excessively large in places; Physics feel less simulation like than in previous titles
