Forza Motorsport Review

Forza Motorsport reviewed by Luke Reilly on Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox Series S and PC.
"After six long years, Forza Motorsport is off the lift and back in our lives. It looks great, feels great, sounds great, and it’s brought with it the most impressive multiplayer we’ve seen in the series so far. With 500 cars and 20 track locations it’s hardly a small start but, now positioned as a platform, Forza Motorsport has the potential to expand into a seriously rich racing destination over the coming years. If Flight Simulator on four wheels is the plan, I’m here for it. First on the list of improvements Turn 10 should focus on is revamping the new RPG-inspired upgrade system that turns progression into an unnecessarily long road ahead of each individual car, and maybe bringing back the joys of split-screen multiplayer racing to complement the excellent online modes."

[@iAmAutti]

No split screen actually blows. Was really looking forward to running this game when friends come over.

[@cameronb3834]

There’s a lot missing from the game like Tag in multiplayer and the ability to change each individual vehicle in free play

Man. Luke's points on the CARPG remain the standout complaint. The moment it was mentioned by Chris Esaki some time back, we almost all went "huh? Why gate upgrades?" This hurts, not helps their philosophy imho. Hopeful they can update/tweak it in future updates. Regardless, very pumped to play later today. Smashing work as always, Luke. Always a fan.

They really could simply adjust event payouts and part costs as a gating mechanic tbh. More freedom and actually makes sense in a racing game.

Shame you can do one long 12 lap custom race and unlock everything eh ,moaning like a little btch instead of using some sense , -IQ award

[@almeidaariel9]

The fix it's the most simple, they overdone it, they should limit car points for each level but keep all upgrades available, therefore you need to level up not to unlock upgrades, but be able to afford it and be able to choose one big upgrade that eats all your CP or several small ones

[@fifteen8850]

@MicheleKalina704just because he rated something higher doesn’t mean it’s gospel

[@lukereilly]

@@fifteen8850 Totally true. Context is also important, as it's definitely worth remembering that GT7 reviewers (myself included) got stitched up with how the full extent of its appalling microtransaction system was obscured during the review period.

[@Yourmomsplacefasuppa]

Gating the upgrades isnt something im worried about. An enthusiast like myself would rather take a car and run it from stock to gt class, one or two mods at a time. Buying or winning a car and going straight to fully modded kind of takes the piss out of it imo.

[@StuartKerrison]

Giving this game an 8 is an absolute joke from IGN. The game looks pretty and handles decently but everything else is such a mess. Unbelievably tedious career, a mess of bugs, constant crashes and in game freezes, no wheel offset adjustment, tracks not included at launch, and a penalty system that is insanely broken. If this game came out 3 years ago it would be a massive disappointment, but after 6 years and still a half baked game? Forza is garbage.

My biggest gripe is the paint/decals, as it hasn't changed at all. With the focus on the paint being so nuanced and detailed, it's disappointing they did nothing to showcase it with any sort of color or spectrum creator, and they've left their tired decal modeling system as-is. No new vinyls or anything. Opportunity missed.

Fairly sure FM4 had more decals - animals - that have gone. Not to mention car auctions, clubs, mini games, hosting online races (now it's Turn 10's poor selection only), all your content on your profile for others to visit and DL.
