    Oh well... were do I even begin.
    Forza Motorsports should be a TOP 10 game and this can be true if you played the game for up to 2 hours. If you played the game for more than 4-5 hours you'll begin to see the problems arise from everywhere.

    The Game does not have a good A.I. at all. I'll describe the basic movement of the cars. First minutes of race, all the cards stick together for the first minute, after that, either if you manage to pass by all of them or not, the first 2 cars will speed up way ahead, like they have a proton torpedo as a back burner or something. Any increase in difficulty will only make matters worse as those 2 first cars will seem like they are defying the laws of gravity and acceleration. All the other cars are basically expendable.

    Since you can't quality for a good spot you'll always starts in the middle and need to scale up to first place. This becomes boring after a while. More than 3 hours and you'll want to dump this game into the trash, screaming in agony. Why there is no qualification anymore? Why are all cars behaving like this? it is so predicable and unreal.

    Game difficulty with assists is GONE, you no longer get more points for driving like a pro, you'll get points by adding MODS which is BY FAR the least interesting aspect of the game. I hated mods on Forza 6 and tried to minimize it's use but you can't do that here because it is the only way to get extra points for each race so you'll have to use it whether you like it or not.

    That's the second worse mistake Forza 7 made. You don't have a choice in how you want to play anymore, you'll force into the stupid buy packs and equip mods...

    Then, there's the other worse mistake they could make, lock cars into homologation. You're no longer able to tune your cars with REAL MODS, not those fake cards. As soon as you try to increase the motor's power you exceed the category limit and you're locked out from modding your car, so tell me, why mod a car anyway if it's only useful for a FREE RACE outside the campaign and it's also not available in multiplayer?. Why this travesty?.

    Not only that, you're no longer able to buy any car you want, you need to up your collectionist level to get the car you want so you're forced (once again) to do a stupid progresion buying cars you are NOT interested at all so you can get to that car you want to drive.

    The game focuses so much on the Mods and Packs and random cars inside packs that I feel like I'm playing a stupid freemium game from my android phone, they completely trashed the good old Forza 6.

    All of this combined with the evil necessity of the game of putting you're entire body on display so you'll know you'll have 500 suits and helmets to buy.. your avatar is everywhere and it's useless. I prefer the Forza 6 menu where I could easily go into the Garage or Race or just compete online.

    Last but not least.. the beautiful garage is gone so, basically, you no longer own a car like you did in Forza 6. That "appeal" you felt when you bought a car and you check it in your garage.. you felt like it was yours to do whatever you pleased..

    Now you're forced to buy non-interesting cars so you can get to the one you want and on top of that you are also forced to play the car "as it is" because doing any kind of mod will lock you out because of getting out of homologation.

    Whoever devised this changes should be fired right away.

    My beautiful Forza series got completely trashed for profit. This game now feels like a rip off, a cheap Forza built for the masses of dumb people who just WANT TO RACE and BUY STUFF.

    And don't get me started with the VIP treatment on this game...

    If you still have an Xbox One, go play Forza 6, it's the best in the series so far, even with the troubled rain, which is the only thing that improved on this game.    … Expand

    Don't buy. Asking for Support may get you a life-time ban by Moderators. Just look at the forums to see how they react. They will not accept any discussion besides soothsaying. And there is lots of discussion to be made with this kind of stripped and buggy game.

    Microsoft is a greedy disgrace to the gamers they could of been a juggernaut in this industry and sell their games with no micro-transactions.

    This is the last game I buy from microsoft ever. I'll be spending my money on games that don't have this in them.

    The nature of the racing in this game is terrible. It's not even arcadey - that can be extremely fun - it's just bad. Made even worse in that this is pretending to be more sim-like in appearance. Always starting in the middle of the field and having to battle against cheating, aggressive AI means this is effectively just a series of passing challenges while playing demo derby. It's not even racing, it's just trying to look like racing.

    And that's before you get to the gambling aspect with the microtransactions. Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear.

    Oh yeah, and they took away rewards for using no driver aids. That's part of the lootbox system now.

    Good aspects: it's got a lot of cars?

    FH3 was better. But get something else entirely, please. Don't give them your money.    … Expand

This game could have been perfect, but these changes aren't good. This is the first game I pre-ordered for years.

    I won't be doing it again, and I certainly won't be buying another Forza game. The racing itself is still good, but the issues I've listed leave a very bad taste in the mouth.    … Expand

    Forza Motorsport 7 is the seventh installment of the well established auto circuit racing series. The game suffers from many oversights, bugs and outright stupid decisions.

Had they applied some sort of meaningful progression systemForza Motorsport 7 is the seventh installment of the well established auto circuit racing series. The game suffers from many oversights, bugs and outright stupid decisions. But lets start with the positives. The number of cars is just staggering, the models are very nice, the circuits are aplenty and the audio is not bad at all. Had they applied some sort of meaningful progression system and added a decent AI, it might have been a fine game. Instead it is a boring grind. The progression system feels like such a chore and even though there are so many cars to choose from, it is not fun to collect them. Every car that you buy also comes already homologated for the division you are racing in, so there is no point even going into the upgrade menu. But the worst is yet to come. When you finally start the race, you will notice that you are starting from the back of the grid every single time, no matter how far in the campaign you are, no matter how well you are doing in the current "season", you always start from the back. So in a standard length race ( 2 to 5 laps, 4 to 10 minutes a race ), there is just not enough time to get past all of your opponents, if you are racing against an AI difficulty that is roughly equal to you. So you will either have to lower the difficulty, learn how to accept defeat or cheat. And cheating is very easy. There are no penalties for anything in the singleplayer mode. You can ram everyone, cut the corners by how much you want and there are going to be no repercussions. As a bonus to all that, there are all kinds of microtransactions. The price crates (regular loot boxes), which you can only buy for ingame currency are pretty suspicious and were probably also intended to be sold for real life money. And as for the assists: if you have got a steering wheel, turn off everything straight away, that is the only way you are going to learn to be faster and enjoy yourself at least a little bit. If you are playing on keyboard, I would probably keep the ABS on.

    This game makes few things right and a lot of things wrong ( some of them very wrong). Unless you are a die hard circuit racing fan, I would not recommend this game to you. Final verdict: 40 %    … Expand

    Forza Motorsport 7 is a great game on Xbox. On the PC version there are too many issues to warrant a good review. It doesn't support G-SYNC, it crashes every 20 minutes to dekstop, i get around 0.1 frames per second in every menu and the force feedback is not making any sense.

There is a card system that really doesn't belong at all in the Motorsport franchise.

    Do you like racing trucks? Microsoft and Turn10 does! Who came up with this idea?

    At least the graphics and physics are good, for 10-20 minutes before it crashes. The customization is also top notch and there are plenty of cars and tracks.

    Avoid this game on PC and buy it on Xbox, where these issues are far less common but still exist.

    What a shame on such a great game. Worth noting is that Forza Horizon 3 was pretty much unplayable on PC as well. Microsoft needs to step up their PC-port game.

But I will still rate it a 3 out of 10 for the graphics and pushing the hardware requirements forward so things like new GPUs and CPUs are actually worth purchasing to play these type of games.

    The first error was not releasing the game through a DRM-free channel like GOG or just plain DRM-free from the get go. If they did this, they would have garnered the goodwill of PC gamers showing us that they don't need DRM to sell their games to us.

    I honestly do not care about Windows 10, I have gone through all the privacy things and it is just fine with me especially since it means games can be natively DX12 and make good use of PC hardware rather than be hamstrung by backwards compatibility.

    The second error was the micro-transactions, what they should have done is bundle all of the things they want to sell as extra, as one big expansion. That method would have worked much better and they would have avoided the negative press from micro-transactions.

    This shows how disconnected the game developers and companies actually are from the PC gamers who purchase their games to support development of future games. PC gamers do not like micro-transactions.

    Microsoft should sell all their games DRM-free and feature complete with expansions later, that would have done much to improve their public relations with PC gamers. It would actually encourage people to buy more games made by their game development teams.
