Videos and Screens

Developed by Microsoft’s internal Turn 10 Studios, Forza Motorsport is a racing simulator for XBX. Used to playing such games as Project Gotham Racing and Rallisport Challenge, the owners of consoles by Microsoft have long waited for a true simulator that could compete with the Gran Turismo series - Forza Motorsport was the response.

Gameplay

Forza Motorsport published on XBX combines simulation with an extensive tuning system inspired by the one implemented in the Gran Turismo series. The production offers +200 different cars, starting with Lancia Delta and ending in various Ferrari models. There are 15 producers the game introduces, like Audi, Ferrari, Porsche, TVR, Mazda, Honda, Subaru, Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, and more. Each car can be significantly modified with the use of the tuning system similar to that utilised in the Gran Turismo series. Therefore, there are dozens of replaceable parts, e.g. spoilers, wheels, breaks, and engines. It is worth mentioning that even a slightest modification of the spoiler position influences the performance of your car.

Forza Motorsport utilises a number of tracks in cities and suburbs. Also, you can race on special racing circuits.

Technical aspects

The title offers amazing graphics comparable to Project Gotham Racing 2. The implemented damage system, which reflects scratches and dents, is also noteworthy. Forza Motorsport makes use of Xbox Live! and gives the players a chance to compete with each other.
