Forza Motorsport 6 Reviews
Forza 6 comes close to the finish line, but long load times, sluggish racing, and frustrating design decisions betray its gorgeous 1080p/60fps visuals.
On the good foundations of a Forza 5 which still suffered from a few shortcomings, Turn 10 built an exceptional Forza 6, visually splendid and which immediately imposed itself in the short list of the best racing games of the moment.

Not only does Forza Motorsport 6 fill in the content gaps of its predecessor, it also goes far beyond that. The driving model is refreshed by the renewed simulation of the contact between tires and asphalt, which has a positive impact on the whole experience, the wet races are sensational and the night ones a pleasant addition, the career sufficiently varied and long-lived, the online vast and solid as always.

It's dark, it's rainy - but that's by no means bad. On the contrary: Forza Motorsport 6 proves to be an absolute racing game grenade in the test.

Forza 6 is one of the very best racing games available on any system. If you are a fan of cars and racing then this is absolutely something that you need to play. I still can't decide whether I preferred the classic racing or taking dedicated racing cars around the larger tracks, but it was all incredible, offering the perfect balance between simulation and accessibility
That's all for now, we have much more to tell you about Forza Motorsport 6, but for now, I return to a phrase from its fourth installment that I loved to close this analysis: "Forza, where dreams are driven."

Simply a better game than Forza 5 and with a lot more content to boot, Forza Motorsport 6 is an endlessly playable racer that deserves a spot in your Xbox One collection. Go get it.
With many series with more than a few sequels, keeping the interest of anyone outside the core supporters becomes tough, particularly with those that have an annual or biannual release schedule. Some have been able to stave off obscurity and keep their profits high, like Call of Duty, but these are the rarer case studies. Relevance becomes an even bigger issue with genres that depict experiences with an abundance of monotony, like sports titles. "Simulation" tuned racing games are of a similar conundrum. One one hand, the need to stay fresh and increase creativity to warrant a new AAA purchase price is side-by-side with the obligation to car enthusiasts that expect a good amount of realism. Off-the-wall driving antics and resplendent gameplay garnish that work for the likes of Need for Speed and Burnout don't have a place among Gran Turismo and Project CARS. Forza Motorsport has traditionally been closer to the latter contemporaries. The Horizon subset is afforded a little more slapdash, but such "arcade" caveats don't have a place in Forza proper. With this the 6th entry to the main thread, it wouldn't be a surprise if the proceedings felt dated and rehashed. Fortunately, the series avoided that fate this holiday. Game modes display a good amount of variety and offer diversions when the Career grind gets too tiresome. Jumping into a Showcase Event or online tilt after a tough series of single player contests is a great way to stay engaged for hours and hours. Changes made to rain and night races are the shining jewels of this iteration and are "must play" experiences for hardcore racing gamers. And the graphics package corrects the little oddities from Forza 5, creating some of the most pleasing visuals I've yet seen on the Xbox One. With one of the most anticipated software holiday seasons in recent memory upon us, making "$60 a pop" purchasing decisions will be very tough. Deciding if a vanilla racing game is worth one of those tokens is ultimately up to the consumer. What I can say is within that relatively narrow definition, Forza 6 does about everything necessary to fulfill the niche to a high degree.
The Forza franchise is a prime example of a franchise that not only builds upon its strengths, but also learns and adapts from it weaknesses. Whilst Motorsport 5 served as a stepping stone onto current generation hardware, Forza Motorsport 6 excels and takes what the franchise has learned to form a racing game that is not only full of content, but also challenging and incredibly addicting. Building upon the foundations laid before it and applying a fresh new layer of features and visual effects, Forza Motorsport 6 might be a serious contender for 2015’s racing game of the year, if not the prime contender.
Forza Motorsport 6 is easily the best game in the series that really makes the most of its next-gen architecture that in turn gives the player one of the most realistic driving experiences to date with some beautiful graphics and matching audio. If you want one of the most immersive racing experiences of 2015 then you really should check out Forza 6 on the Xbox One.
Forza Motorsport 6 is the game everyone was hoping to have when they purchased their Xbox One the day it released. It took an extra two years for Turn 10 Studios to deliver the right product, but boy did they deliver. It is by far the most content-rich racing simulation game ever created, with enough vehicles, modes, and progression incentives for fans of the genre to lose hundreds of hours with.
Turn 10 haven't raised the bar with this release - because they've already put it as high as it needs to be.
A smart and confident update
Forza Motorsport 6 is a truly fantastic racing simulator
We're getting to the point where denying the greatness of the Forza franchise is borderline ridiculous. The saddest part about Forza Motorsport 6 is that it will likely be brushed away by critics and gamers alike as a fantastic racing game rather than a fantastic game in general.
If ever a racing title was considered a must-have for your gaming rotation, Forza 6 is it.
Forza Motorsport 6 is a game that should be a Day One purchase, and on every kid's holiday list. It should be celebrated by its leaps forward in the racing simulator genre and its attention to realism and physics. It should be yours.
Microsoft and Turn10 have done a wonderful job putting together another Forza game that is near flawless from an artistic and technical viewpoint.
If you were among those that felt that Forza 5 was a small step in the wrong direction for the series, Forza 6 seems like the perfect apology letter to its dedicated fans. Everything about it, from presentation to gameplay is refined to maximize fun, and eliminate grind. If you own an Xbox One, considering yourself lucky to be able to play, what is easily the best racing simulator on the market.
Forza Motorsport 6 brings the series back to its former glory. We are really happy that Turn10 listened to the community, offering a more complete, more refined, more content-laden and less DLC-hungry product than its predecessor. The driving feeling is what made the Forza series famous, and fans of this historic brand will not be disappointed this year.
