Forza Motorsport 5 offers something for everyone. You don't have to be a racing fan to appreciate how thoroughly detailed Turn 10 was in their development. Within just a few hours, we raced SUVs, Asian imports, luxury cars and even Formula-1 racers. Toss in a ton of customizations for each vehicle, and no race ever felt the same. The Drivatar concept brings about a sense of unpredictability. Even better is that your Drivatar will race for you while you aren't playing Forza 5 in order to keep a steady cash flow for you to keep upgrading cars or to buy new ones. Forza 5 is an excellent fan service to all aspects of racing and shows that the Xbox One has started the next gen console race at full speed.

Forza Motorsport 5, the fifth name in the Forza Motorsport series developed exclusively for the Xbox platform, was presented to the players with minor flaws. It is quite possible to say that Forza 5, which has bought Xbox One for most players, is a good racing simulation. With the new gamepad, more stable races are waiting for you.

For this, Turn 10 deserves high praise.

It's refreshing to play a racing game that doesn't feel stale when played alone, and that's all thanks to Drivatar keeping things fresh every time you race. Forza 5 looks absolutely gorgeous, which makes the lack of weather and night races even more glaring. But other than the terrible music, there's very little to complain about.

The bodywork is built for showing off your new machine, but there's something more substantial under the hood.

While it may seem like a step backward with its lower track count than previous Forza versions, in reality it is quite the opposite. The tracks are an example of quality over quantity, and one could assume that a future DLC solution will address this anyway. The new Drivatar system is basically a crowd-sourced AI training system and results in a more realistic (and, at times, frustrating) racing experience. Multiple configuration options allow the challenge to be finely calibrated to any skill level. If nothing else, the visuals alone are worth the upgrade.

Forza Motorsport 5 is an amazing simulator that will catch anyone who enjoys car games. The series has earned a place in the hearts of all of us who love racing simulators and this installment is a clear example of the level that can be reached in the new generation. Forza Motorsport comes to Xbox One to be crowned the best car simulator, at least, in the last 10 years.

Lacks the girth of FM4 but wrestling iconic cars around legendary tracks has never looked or felt this good on console.

Forza 5 is a lot of fun to drive, but its structure off the track should be better

In order to make room for next-gen growth, Forza Motorsport 5 comes in riding lighter than past entries in the series, but despite these big cuts, there's still a hefty driving game with lots to do. Despite infuriating DLC practices Forza remains a fantastic drive, and with some improvements, Drivatars could set a new path for competitive AI.

Forza Motorsport 5 is the highest expression of digital motorsport, but also is a "pretty slim" game, to put it mildly. It will improve with time and perhaps with the addition of the Nürburgring or other contents for enthusiasts.

It seems that for all their focus on recreating how a person drives, they lost sight of why.

Forza 5 is a fine way to spend a console launch. I'm not all that into cars, but I found an exceptionally built game that is welcoming to rookies.
