Forza Motorsport Game Series

A series of racing games created and developed by Turn 10, a studio owned by Microsoft. Forza Motorsport was born in 2005 as a Redmond giant's direct response to the series Gran Turismo - a hit from the Xbox's rival PlayStation consoles. A fierce and even rivalry quickly developed between the two brands, which continues to this day. Forza has also become a hallmark of Microsoft's hardware due to its very high quality graphics.

TheSixthAxis: 8 / 10 by Stefan L

Sometimes it's worth trying to reinvent the wheel, and Turn 10's renewed Forza Motorsport takes the series in some new and worthwhile directions. The 'CarPG' levelling and pre-race practice sessions really help to foster familiarity and confidence with cars and tracks over time, and Forza is now on a par with Gran Turismo and others for the online race structure. It all sets the foundations for years of new cars, tracks, races and further improvements that I'm looking forward to seeing.

DualShockers: 9 / 10 by Chris Harding

A high-octane racing and driving simulator with 500 cars spanning across decades of automotive innovation. DualShockers was provided with a copy of the game for review purposes.

Full Review

Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Cory Wells

Turn 10 Studios and PlayGround Games have improved the simulation racing aspect with Forza Motorsport. The racing is clearly the focus and the results are best experienced with a wheel as the tire model physics have helped to push this more into sim racing territory.
