Technical aspects

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.

Mechanics

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.

Technical aspects

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.

GamesRadar+: 4 / 5 by Donny Tarin

Forza Motorsport 5 prizes quality over quantity, eschewing the vehicular excess of previous entries to focus on the gameplay. The result is a leaner, more refined racer.

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.

Game Rant: 4 / 5 by Andrew Dyce

Turn 10 may not have crafted the biggest, boldest, and most definitive Forza experience with Forza 5, but they have delivered one of the Xbox One's best titles so far. Not to mention a breath of fresh air for the franchise's devoted fan base, and a promising step forward for the series as whole.

Forza Motorsport Series

A series of racing games created and developed by Turn 10, a studio owned by Microsoft. Forza Motorsport was born in 2005 as a Redmond giant's direct response to the series Gran Turismo - a hit from the Xbox's rival PlayStation consoles. A fierce and even rivalry quickly developed between the two brands, which continues to this day. Forza has also become a hallmark of Microsoft's hardware due to its very high quality graphics.
