Release Date: November 22, 2013
The fifth installment of the popular series of car racing simulators. The title was developed by studio Turn 10 which belongs to Microsoft. Similarly as the previous entries in the series, Forza Motorsport 5 allows the players to try themselves as drivers of super fast cars.
Forza Motorsport 5 for XONE is another installment of the most popular series of racing games available on Xbox consoles. As in case of previous installments of this car saga, the game was developed by Turn 10 studio.
The fifth game once again shows the world of fast cars racing through picturesque tracks. The style of the game remained the same – it is still a game with strictly simulative driving model that requires high driving abilities from the player. For the first time in the series, among the hundreds of available cars one can find vehicles from the American series IndyCar and two classical Formula 1 cars.
Forza Motorsport 5, similarly as rival titles, also focuses on integrating the multiplayer mode and social aspects – the Drivatars are among the novelties in the game. These cloud-based user profiles gather experience for the owner even if he isn’t currently driving – his abilities are determined based on previous achievements.
The developers decided to continue their cooperation with the creators of the popular TV series “Top Gear”. Thanks to that, in the fifth installment of the series one can hear many new, professional commentaries of Jeremy Clarkson and his associates.
Forza Motorsport 5 fully utilizes the capabilities of Xbox One console. Thanks to that it has picturesque and detailed tracks and very realistic car models.

Game Ratings for Forza Motorsport 5 Video Game.
Game Informer: 8.8 / 10 by Matthew Kato
Forza 5 is a lot of fun to drive, but its structure off the track should be better
Eurogamer: 7 / 10 by Martin Robinson
Ignore the nonsense, though, and it can still be electrifying. Take an Audi R18 e-tron away from the messy drone of the career and set about beating a Rivals hot lap time around Spa and it's sublime: the diesel engine roars stealthily, the sun streaming through the Ardennes' thick forest. With Forza Motorsport 5, Turn 10's created a driving experience both accessible and beautiful - but it's been stripped back to make Xbox One's launch, and augmented with a host of ugly extras that only serve Microsoft's bid to make a few dollars more.
Metro GameCentral: 7 / 10 by Mr Pinkerton
An excellent driving game but one sullied by cheapskate microtransactions. a lack of tracks, and the dubious worth of the Drivatar technology.
