A launch title for Xbox One, this racing simulator is one of a kind for not only it's awesome racing and amazing cars but also features you won't find on other racing games.
How is Forza Motorsport 5 an amazingly different and new experience? Take for a fact that instead of Ai you have something called Drivatar. Drivatar is a program that has cloud servers download player data in how they overall race and uses it to race in other races in the game. It will even sync your performance in racing to give other players the same experience. Cloud computing is just one of many advantages Xbox One has over PlayStation 4.
There are many cars both veteran and newbie for Forza Motorsport 5 as not only do these cars run and look amazing but you can also more or less examine them in depth with Forza Vista. Plus, you can actually look at your cars in a real garage. The livery has gotten more awesome as players can upload custom livery and other players can choose such for their cars. If you've played Forza before then you'll love that when you buy a car for a series the game will automatically set the highest upgrades for a maximum allowed class. The Affinity and Driver levels still exist but use tokens to purchase not only cars but also a temporary boost in XP, which works towards driver and affinity bonuses. Affinity bonuses award you extra earnings if you drive a certain car marque. When I began driving an Audi several races, I got extra earnings.
The difficulty level is still custom set and there are a few differences such as instead of a total percentage being shown it instead simply shows the bonus percentage, which will either increase or decrease earnings. You can't turn off rewind for bonus but if you do use rewind it will cost you a very small percentage of earnings. What I've seen in this game is that instead of it automatically being 1st, 2nd, or 3rd being required for Gold, Silver, and Bronze metals respectively it has you placing 1st-3rd for Gold, 4th-7th for Silver, and 8th-10th for Bronze.
As for difficulty, you can set the Drivatar difficulty from new driver to extreme expert. Earnings bonuses will range from -15% to 60%. The Assist settings will determine the car assist settings and eliminating assists will increase earnings reward. Change transmission, steering, damage, braking, and other assists to influence total earnings.
Forza Motorsport 5 proves that it is better than Gran Turismo series as the former is easier to upgrade and handle even with it's amazing physics. Forza Motorsport 5 runs at 1080p and 60 fps and is one of the very few Xbox One games to do so. While many other third party games have no problem running 1080p and 60 fps natively but Xbox One yields lesser results, Forza Motorsport 5 manages to look stunning and have such amazing visuals and graphics.
Forza Motorsport 5 in my opinion is the best Xbox One game currently available since most other Xbox One games have trouble running at the same 1080p and 60 fps that Forza Motorsport 5 has no problem running at. Come to think of it, Forza Motorsport's mainstream rating of 8/10 is disgraceful and deserves to be higher as it has totally improved from the previous generation of gaming. This game has numerous features that no other racing simulator has. Forza Motorsport 5 is better than Gran Turismo 6! Only gripe about Forza Motorsport 5 is it takes long to install but bright side is you can simply play the game if enough of it is installed and the rest will be gradually installed. Another gripe is that out of all the Forza games, Forza Motorsport 5 has the second least amount of content as Forza Motorsport 4 had over 500 cars and over two dozen tracks while Forza Motorsport 5 has only over 200 cars and only around 14 tracks.
Final verdict for this thrilling and amazing game is a 8.9/10.
