Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

Forza Motorsport looked a brilliant title when it came out and as I am a fan of driving games I just had to have it, I found a good deal where I got a racing wheel and the game for £25 just after the game had been released so I decided to snap it up straight away. The game is not just a normal car game, it is a proper driving sim much like the Gran Turismo series on Playstation. Although I got the wheel with the game I don't really use it much as ...
...driving in the game. Forza is massive, there are more than 230 cars in the game from 60 different car manufacturers although there is a smaller selection of tracks. Even though there are a small selection of tracks it doesn't really matter as there is a lot of variation in each track in the game, there are real tracks as well as made up ones but they are all different and they all challenge you 'the racer' in varying ways. Each track is individual ...

Review of Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

---INTRO--- Forza motorsport. To give you an idea of exactly what this game is like all you have to do is imagine Gran Turismo on xbox. For those of you into Racing games you will know that forza and gran turismo are at the top of the chart titles. There are slight differences but this game is a must have for any racing fan, well almost. If your happier playing unrealistic, poor quality street racing games that look better than they play then this ...
...---COST--- With a forza 2 on the way and the xbox 360 out, the price of xbox games has fallen alot. You can now pick up Forza brand new for around £20. This is a great bargain and value for money as i have had the game since the release date over a year ago now and i have just reached a game completion percentage of around 88%! ---GAMEPLAY--- Forza motorsport is the best racing title on xbox to date. No other game comes close to the realistic ...

Review of Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

...new content, then the infamous Forza demo from OXM came out and really dissappointed many as well as myself. Well, I'm glad that was just a demo... The opening movie almost looked like the GT4 opening with the same type of cinematics and a touch of American-ness. You start by creating a profile, then pick arcade or simulator mode, the arcade mode resembles GT4 where you select different classes of cars and tracks, many of them look exactly like GT4's ...
...you think GT4 is detailed, Forza blows it away. When you hit a metal fence, you actually feel and hear the fence scrapping the car! Graphically it is much more "technical" than GT4's blurring tricks to fool you, which does the job on non-techies, but Forza be prepared for eye candy. Pixel Shader is at work everywhere. I hit somebody, my hood is dented and scrapped, looks the part... Ok, how's the control? Its quite fast and responsive. Very touchy ...

...picked up a copy of Forza Motorsport for £12.99 second hand in Game. A first hand copy still sells for in excess of £30. Mirror, signal and go go go. Forza Motorsport is a racing game. Select your car, play with it in the garage, upgrade parts and then you are ready to race. The more races you win, the more cash you attain making further upgrades available. You also have the ability to win cars by completing a series of races which you can then ...
...takes minutes rather than hours. Forza Motorsport is one of those games where you can't go around the track constantly accelerating. There is a skill to the driving and knowing the potential of your car. If you soup your car up too much you'll struggle to control it at tight corners - I find the fact that cars have something of an upknown upgrade threshold exciting - seeing how far I can push it until the car is basically undrivable!! Shelf Life ...

Review of Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

Forza Motorsport lets you get behind the wheel of some of the most realistic cars ever on a consol. You can choose from more than 230 models from more than 50 different manufacturers, and then you can trick out your ride with custom paint schemes, body kits, spoilers and much more. The body kits and spoilers don't just look nice, but they also give you extra down force, allowing you to take corners much fast, but they also decrease you acceleration ...
...performance from ride height to adding an aftermarket turbo charger. You can even change the cars engine e.g. put a Mazda RX-7 engine in a Mazda MX-5. Which is great if you are playing online, as you opponents will think you have a slow Mazda MX-5, but really you have a fast Mazda RX-7. One feature of this game I haven't seen before is that if you increase the difficulty level you will win more money from your races. So the harder you make the game, ...

Review of Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

Well i suppose all i can say about this game is that it is the best driving game i have ever been on its just so realistic to all the other car games i have been on. some of the best points about this game has to be first of all the graphics they are just amazing they have done such a great job with the details of the cars and tracks which gives you a more and better realistic driving experience. Second of all has to be the career mode yes it takes ...
...not but i think this is a great aspect of the game i have been on this game for past five days none stop so get prepared to stay up late because once you start progressing through the career mode you wont want to leave the computer as you will be dying to see what cars are to be unlocked next. Last but not least it also gives you the option to have the proper driving line to be taken on the tracks as this is a really big help as it tells you when ...

Review of Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

Forza motorsport is a driving simulator. This means that the games physics are based around mathematical equations. “BORING”, I hear you say, “who cares?” it is just this however that makes this game so brilliant- the accelerating, braking and cornering feel just like they should. After playing normal racing games like need for speed or L.A. rush you really struggle with this game, you always out-break the other cars only to find that you’ve gone ...
...track. The cars in Forza motorsport look fantastic and with such a variety there’s something for everyone- Ferrari’s, Ford mustangs, Porches, Dodge vipers, but that’s not all- it’s not just the high powered cars there are Toyota’s, fords, Vauxhalls. There are even some old cars like the 1969 Toyota 2000gt and 1954 Porche. The customization in this game is fantastic up to 100 layers of vinyls can be added to each surface of the car, for 500 in total ...

Review of Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

Forza motor sport takes the concept of many racing games including the playstation famous gran turismo but the xbox is graphics make this a much more addictive and realistic game. The choice of cars is loads over 300 any it will cator for anyone wherther you like ferraris to fords and whether you preffer the likes of a ford gt 40 or a ford mustang the game plays well. Which ever car you preffer to use and you can customise every aspect of the car ...
...the customisation of the aspects of the cars adds the personal feel to the car driving and not only that when you beat your friends in a great looking car you will have more to brag about. The races in this game vary from championship races where you race in a series of events and whoever finishs on top wins the prize to the point to point races where you race from one point to the other. The races also specialise in certain car races where all the ...

Review of Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

Ok, basically this game is like a mash up of the Gran turismo series on the Playstation's and Need for Speed's modification aspect. Now this would be great if it were not for one thing. GT4 on PS2 has loads more cars. Forza's best aspect has to be the car modification and the online play, which GT4 lacks. But the idea of a racing game is to race cars, and the more the better. The car handling is very realistic, but I feel compared to GT4 the cars ...
...there. There are enough tracks to go around and the leveling up aspect is an interesting addition, where as you level up by earning more money you get discounts off various car parts. I think this game is essential for any serious X-box racer who wants a simulation game, but if you want more of a racer, the Project Gotham Racing series is more appealing. The graphics and sounds all seem very realistic, well as realistic as they can be for a game. ...

Review of Forza Motorsport (Xbox)

...Microsoft's delayed Gran Turismo killer, Forza Motorsport. The game was buggy, choppy and tepid. But then the final version came in, and the delays have obviously been worthwhile. Forza can't compete on Sony's level when it comes to graphics, but in every other department it poses a serious challenge to the racing establishment. Actually, even without a high level of graphics pleasure, Forza is still better than Gran Turismo 4. Why? How about incredible ...
...Xbox and a copy of Forza Motorsport. In many ways, these competing franchises are strikingly similar. Like GT, Forza features a career and arcade mode; it also has adds multiplayer, free run and time trial modes. Arcade offers quick races with the option to unlock more of the game's 200+ cars. But career, with at least 50 events divided among a huge variety of classes, is where aspiring drivers will spend hour after hour. There, racers earn credits, ...

This game is great The graphics are amazing, the sound is to quality and the experience is unreal. You are not short for choice of cars either. You can choose from over 230 cars, from 40 different makes! Thought the retail price is what I would see as expensive, if you could buy it pre owned or second hand, I strongly recomend you purchase it. The game can be played single player, such as career mode, consisting of racing to win points and cars, ...
...played by 2 players racing against each other for exciting race action. The game can be played by anyone, minimum age 3, making it a great and fun purchase for the whole family. However, if you are not to keen on driving games, or cars, then this game is not for you. I rate it better than the other driving games around at the moment I highly recommend this game, its brilliant and compelling! ...
