    This is a really addicting game. I do play sometimes but my dad is hooked. He is on driver level 80 (i think) and he comes home from work and eats dinner then plays FM5. I can see hes really enjoying the game. There is a law a physics in the game. Although not in real life. Like if you crash into cars it will only dent it and slow you down in real life you couldn't drive anymore). It also includes real life factors like the sun in your eyes or getting off road (which slows you down really badly making you really behind). There is also an impossible thing which you cant do in real life in the game. Rewinding Time. That would be awesome to do that it real life but it would mess up the universe in its self. In the game you can rewind if you crash in the race or if your get off road as previously mentioned. It will take off points on the race but I've always found the points irrelevant. I also like how gold goes to places 1-3. It makes it a lot easier and deduces stress while racing. Because if someone speeds ahead of you at the last minute and you got 2nd place then its no biggie. You'll still earn a gold pay. Lastly theirs a thing called a drivertar (ik i spelled it wrong.). Its a computer racer that learns how you race and then while you are not playing FM5 you pop into other peoples races around the world and earn you credits. Its really useful if you need extra credits.
    Although there are many likes too this game, no game is perfect. Even if you think it is.The game is annoying because you cannot quit races at the end of them and that you cant skip people talking in the game. After you pro the game you mostly finish in 1st place which is boring enough but you have to, to save up money for expense cars. But some leagues are hard like the Track Toys league my dad was having trouble with. Also some of the cars are 2,500,000 like the Mclaren P1, the car in the commercials. You can buy tokens or credits (the in-game money) with real money but I find that a waste of money. I do also like to do one thing in the game besides racing. Design the cars. Its really fun to do. I made my own car designed it to my own liking. If you have the money and want a new game this is a new quest for you to play and overcome!    … Expand

The cars are    First off... ignore the people that are whining about DLC and whining about leveling up slowly to encourage paying to cheat. Most of the arguments posted are indicative of people that haven't even played the game and are just going off of the ignorant rants in forums.

    Forza 5 is one of the best racing games I have ever played and I consider myself a racing game junkie. The cars are rendered with incredible detail and the driving physics are wonderful. At the basic level it is easy to tell the difference between racing all of the different classifications of cars and each class requires its own finesse in order to win races. Going from Executive Sport for instance into Muscle Cars is a real test of your skills and the challenges presented at each class keeps the game fresh.

    For the first time in a long line of racing games, I can actually feel the difference when I tune the car other than the obvious traction, balance and speed changes. Merely slapping all of the available mods on a particular car can actually be detrimental and adds a new dimension to the game mechanics. This also means that this game is not meant for racing kiddies (NFS cough).

    If you want a very nice racing sim experience I highly recommend Forza 5. Why didn't I give it a 10? Because it is not perfect. I find the Drivatars to be highly aggravating in that while they may be behaving similar to their real online users I find myself getting into completely ridiculous racing situations like getting wall checked because someone decided to cut a corner without checking their spots which takes you out of the realism a bit. This seems to only be an issue in the earlier classes though. As I leveled up (which arguably could just be my own experience in the game increasing) I found the drivatars to not behave as erratically. I have NEVER seen super amazing driving AI though so with that being said it is really hard to ding the game too much for what appears to be the best AI model I've seen so far. You could even argue uncanny valley and blame the online players for training their drivatars with bad habits. lol.

    An amazing game that you shouldn't miss if you love racing and love your Xbox One. Again, ignore the haters as anyone with a working mind will see that this is a game that is best in its class. Anyone that is even remotely familiar with the game development process can see how hard it is to make cars and the physics, audio, etc... with impeccable detail and still deliver enough quantity for good variety. No one is trying to rip anyone off. People are so entitled these days. :(    … Expand

    I've had the pleasure of owning some of the cars in the game including the E92 BMW M3, Alfa Giulietta and Golf GTi MkII, and I have to say I am startled at how accurate the simulation of the cars is to how the cars drive in the real world. I've caught myself leaning against my right arm rest going through corners to counter the G force (which isn't really there).

    There are no problems at all earning cars with the in-game credits - I started playing at the end of December 2013 when the finance system had been updated. I've never had to make a micro-payment to get anough credits for a car - I usually have plenty of credits and I think it would only be necessary to pay extra if you literally wanted to own every car in the game.

    Could have done with a couple more courses such as Brands Hatch and the Nurburgring, so I'm giving it a 9 instead of a 10. Although let's be honest, there is a downside to the Nurburgring which is very long laptimes (and IMO too many corners to memorise)

    Wonderful game. But when I play this game I feel like I'm bored, unexcited, and anxious for something too happen. It's not fun. The Pro's : Good Graphics, realistic, structured. The Con's : Boring, less cars then last game, and complicated multiplayer. Overall this is a good game for a person with a racing wheel and is a serious racing game player.

    Great support from Turn10 studios, such as free dlc ( e.g. free Road America racetrack, several free car packs) as well as paid dlc keep the game fresh on a regular basis. Then comes drivatar, which is a unique and incredibly impressive way of insuring that you always have human-like, lively and interesting opponents for your race.

    Superb game with great graphics and plenty of longevity. The only downside to the game would be the lack of tracks to use and the overpriced DLC. I have always been a big fan of the Forza Franchise having played all of the titles since the first so I am hoping there is free or at least affordable DLC in the future with tracks and cars just to keep people interested in the game.

    Forza continues to be the best racing game franchise with this installment of Forza 5. The graphics are amazing, the new drivatar system interesting, and every car in my opinion feels different. The downfall is that there is a very slim list of tracks, and the car list seems a little small.

The graphics are amazing and is even more realistic than before and the autovista from Forza 4 is expanded to every car that you can purchase. This game is truly for a car enthusiast that was built by car enthusiasts. Each car and track was scanned for this game, making every fine detail as accurate as possible. So you can virtually walk around and sit in the cars of your dreams and see each track as if you were there in real life. The driveatars are an excellent addition to the franchise and makes single player campaign much more enjoyable going against your friends driveatar compared to the boring bots of the previous games.

    I gave this game a 9 (but it should really be a 9.5 as game play is excellent) because I feel like they could have included their "fantasy tracks" such as Fujimi Kaido where me and my friends kill a lot of time drifting the mountain roads and it wouldn't have to be scanned in. It still feels like Forza 4, but much more enjoyable when playing through your career and the new xbox one controller with feedback triggers add even more to the driving experience.    … Expand

    As a fan of Forza 3 and Forza 4, Forza 5 was the first game I bought for the Xbox One. First impressions? Well, I was apprehensive to say the least. Forza 4 had over 500 cars, Forza 5 has about 200. Forza 4 had around 25 tracks, Forza 5 has 15, including the Road America DLC. So it's down on content right from the start, surely a newer game needs to be better, right?

Forza 4 had over 500 cars, Forza 5 has about 200. Forza 4 had around 25 tracks, Forza 5 has 15, including the Road America DLC. So it's down on content right from the start, surely a newer game needs to be better, right?

    How can Turn10 make up for these shortfalls? For a start, not with the new Drivatar system; a system designed to replicate other players' driving habits. On the easiest difficulties, these opponents are pathetic and take little effort to beat. On higher difficulties, imagine the same incompetent drivers, only angrier and with no sense of self preservation. And there are lots of them. Races can now have up to 16 drivers offline and I'm afraid that's too many. For the most part, they just get in your way and once you overtake, they never catch up. So, improved opponent AI? No.

    Another very annoying feature (and it isn't just Forza 5 doing this) is DLC. Why do games keep doing this? To get the best out of Forza 5, you need to BUY the VIP Pass, BUY monthly DLC and BUY mini DLCs too. After BUYING the game in the first place (£45 at cheapest), the VIP Pass and the Season Pass for all the rest of the DLC, you've just spent nearly £100. Obviously it's not mandatory to buy DLC but you feel cheated for having to pay extra for a complete game. So, DLC? Big, fat no.

    Smaller issues are the inability to sell cars, the marketplace, which as of now (March 10th) still isn't finished yet and the, frankly, pathetic implementation of Kinect which is unusable and unnecessary.

    Up until now, you'll probably think I hate this game and, admittedly, I do sometimes but there are many upsides to this game which dwarf the iffy AI and the stupid amount of DLC. First of all, the gameplay is sublime. Combined with the Xbox One's near perfect controller and the fantastic physics engine, driving around is a joy. You can get a very good idea of what the car is doing and this helps you persevere, improve and progress. You can steadily increase the difficulty as you improve and eventually you can drive with no assists whatsoever which is incredibly satisfying. Rivals Mode returns from the fourth instalment and that's a good thing. Aside from making you earn far more money than in Career Mode, going head to head with a ghost car to place a lap time on the online leaderboards is a fantastic feature which mimics Top Gear's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, except you can drive anything you like. And I mean anything. Despite the limited amount of content, the variety of cars is hugely improved. Along with the kind of cars in Forza 4 (i.e Road Cars, GT2 cars, JGTC Cars etc), there are now cars from Track Days, the Indy 500 and the 1976 and 2013 Formula 1 seasons. Other plus points include further input from Jeremy Clarkson and this time he has brought along James May and Richard Hammond, the customisation, the tuning depth and the painting.

    Way above anything, however, is the graphics. I don't judge a game on graphics usually but Forza 5 is a properly good looking game. The game sure knows it's a good looking game with all it's pretentious, orchestral, ethereal soundtrack and it's Autovista (I'll get to that in a minute). The atmosphere is bright and colourful, the environment beautifully rendered and the render distance is spot on. The Sun has some impressive physics going on with lens flare, windscreen reflections and shadows. Just, whatever you do, don't look at the crowds up close. They are crap.

    Now, back to the Autovista. I think this represents everything right and wrong about this game. In Forza 4, it was only available with a handful of cars but in Forza 5, it's available on every single car. Great idea, right? Well, sort of. Sure you can see every car inside and out (some cars anyway) and that's very pleasing aesthetically. But would you have the Autovista or would you rather have Turn10 use the time, effort and memory space on more cars? I know I'd choose more cars. Turn10 have focused too hard on making a game look pretty rather than what the game is about; Cars. It's a shame. Or hey, maybe they could put some effort into the crowds...

    All in all, this is a great launch title for the Xbox One. Great graphics, flawless control and variety of cars make this a good game to buy. Lack of content and expensive DLC let it down. Personally I prefer Forza 4 but since Forza 4 is not available on Xbox One, this will have to do. 7 out of 10.    … Expand

Though I am not an avid follower of the game, I have enjoyed previous installments, but my frustrations surmounted those experiences. While Forza will continue to boast their graphics and availability of cars, to which there can be little argument made, the game play far outweighs any beauty, in a negative manner. The system of difficulty is set such that computers are aggressive towards the player. Those that are behind will only hinder the possibility of progression through the field. This is increasingly frustrating on small tracks with tight turns as the player is placed in the back of the pack only to be blocked by a conglomerate of CPU's, designed to suppress the player, that are unaffected by any beating the player may deal whereas the player is penalized with damages reducing race performance. So, an indestructible force is placed in front of a fragile player. This makes game play very displeasing and frustrating.

    How could this be alleviated? Well, one may suggest that rather than having malicious CPU's, faster ones would be more appropriate. This has been done in the past and only makes the class system of vehicles a terrible hindrance to the player as they are confined to the amount of customization dependent on the race. It seems there is not a great way to produce challenging game play that is not frustrating in the disadvantageous manner that has been presented. Unfortunately, racing games will fall by the wayside for single player use like many other franchises have seen.

    Maybe there is hope for Forza 6, but it does not seem likely as Forza follows similar patterns in game play throughout the years only adding minor aspects here and there, it seems.    … Expand

    Forza 5 continues the series with another boring and generic racer which feels like most other realistic racing games. Could not play it for more than an hour before putting down my controller in boredom. The graphics of the cars look nice, and some of the tracks are very detailed however, as a launch title, seeing the crowd look like cardboard cutouts is not the sign of a next generation game.

The car choice isn't extensive, but you won't be seeing lots of the same exact car with different livery being branded as a different one to boost the car count. The options in terms of tuning, upgrades, progression, career, customisation, painting etc. aren't far different. You can use community liveries when buying a car, and a useful feature is the ability to auto-upgrade your car to the top of a specified class (for those that don't enjoy tinkering with individual components). The commentary from Top Gear is an awesome addition; as is the Top Gear track. Forza 5 is all about the cars: you won't find any video game that has got as detailed textures and interior models as Forza 5. Indeed, the Forzavista feature is actually quite pleasant if not novel; allowing you to inspect the car from every angle. The level of detail is beyond anything else you will ever see in a driving game. The graphics overall are pretty descent - running at 1080p 60FPS but the environment detail and lighting are no match for Codemasters' EGO 3 engine. As for the driving, it is more difficult than before. I usually play all my racing games with the fewest assists possible but in Forza 5, I would advise avoiding the Simulation steering setting because the cars spin out randomly. Clearly this was designed for racing wheels instead of the analog sticks on a controller. Other than that, the driving is quite fun, captures the sense of speed (although nowhere near as well as SHIFT 2) and is accessible yet realistic. The cars and tracks available are what you'd expect from Forza - a good mix. What's more, there are some street circuits in the game which is nice to see given that Microsoft discontinued Project Gotham Racing series - perhaps the best racing game ever (in my opinion). Speaking of which, Forza 5 tries to vary the gameplay a bit by adding some different objectives to the usual circuit racing, for example, where you have to overtake as many cars as possible within a time or lap limit. This is great to see, and it would be nice if more of these game modes were implemented to avoid repetition. That said, Forza 5 offers the player much freedom in how they progress. To finish every race in the game would take hundreds of hours, and there's also time trials and rivals modes. The aim of this much content is not to make the game a grind - there are not achievements for finishing everything - but to give the player choice in what cars they use and which tracks to race on. Overall, Forza Motorsport 5 doesn't make nay significant advances for the franchise but as a showcase for "next-gen" visuals and a haven for car lovers, it is one of the best racing games available.… Expand

    Full disclosure I'm not a racing guy, I picked up this game because it was 10$ at target for that price it was about right for me. It is a beautiful game with lots of cars and race options, the cars level up as you play them and the rewind option is forgiving. The downside is I started to find it boring, the races all begin to feel the same pass 3/4 of the cars in the first minute.Full disclosure I'm not a racing guy, I picked up this game because it was 10$ at target for that price it was about right for me.

The downside is I started to find it boring, the races all begin to feel the same pass 3/4 of the cars in the first minute. Overtake the leaders in lap 2 maintain lead for the rest of the game. Because of the rewind button once you are in the lead you never lose it. Which is why I love and hate it. I always hated that with racing one mistake means having to run the race again, but in the flip side rewind makes the races boring. But again as I said this is a review for the non racer.… Expand

    As a fan of racing and a huge fan of Forza, I must admit, I was disappointed with Forza 5.

The graphics and details are absolutely brilliant and beautiful to look at and one could easily mistake the game for a televised broadcast if they passed by glancing at the screen. The realism surrounding the cars is still superb and for the most part, accurate in regards to real physics. However, variety is how one continues the racing simulation experience and keeps it exciting. Forza let us down greatly in one of the areas where it matters most.

    What was the one aspect every Forza fans were expecting? Cars and tracks....loads and loads to mess around with but cars and tracks were actually taken away from the game (using Forza 4 as comparison) which blows my mind. Apparently, a new licensing director is needed because they cannot obtain the rights to Porsche, Nurburgring, and many other iconic racing names. This is extremely important to the fan base and many of us expected Forza to do a better job here.

    The game is still fun to play and I still enjoy the online races but Forza needs to "step their game up" the next time around (especially their licensing department!)    … Expand

The textures and car models are the major highlights here. Unfortunately, another downside is the microtransactions. About a third of the games cars are locked out, and they cost an OUTRAGEOUS amount to purchase, as much as $5 per car!

    So a short summary of Forza 5, it's everything Forza 4 was with way less cars and tracks and more microtransactions. It's also very pretty, and that's the jist. If you enjoyed Forza 4, you'll enjoy this. Just be ready for a lack of content compared to previous games.    … Expand

    My friends and family have played the game for a bit. Everyone is very impressed when they first see it. It is easy enough to use out of the box. You can change the looks of your car easy enough. Everyone seemed very impressed when they first started. I especially loved the in the car view. Looking at my rear view mirror, and side mirror. Also seeing the speed change on the dash. But after a while the tracks seem to be the same and you just lose interest. I was also disappointed that the cars received some damage, but not as much as they should of received.

    We tried it online and that was nice. Except the Xbox servers didn't seem to know how to match players by experience very well. I also wonder if there is a pay to win option. As when we tried multiplayer we were in the first class you start with. We had these sedans and the guys who won seemed to have these mini's. It seemed the mini wasn't a car in our category, or one you could use unless you paid real money to unlock it. The mini's were fully upgraded so could match our sedan's speeds. And because they were so light got to top speed faster. But were so maneuverable even if they crashed 10 times they easily were in first place. Then after playing a while we learned that those using manual shifting could reach top speeds so absurdly fast that it seems Xbox shouldn't let automatic and manual set cars on the same track.

    This game would probably be much more fun if the Xbox matching system matched players better. Players who use unlocked purchasable stuff should probably only be racing each other. Also those racing automatics should be against automatics. Manual's against manuals. And it should put the guys who win every time in higher rated matches. It appears this bothered others as in about 30 races, we never once saw all the available slots filled. This mismatching seemed to happen often. I watched some very experienced Forza people only able to finish third or fourth, and they felt it was because I didn't unlock the mini in that category. We have some average players who did okay. And the beginners just didn't have fun racing against 4 mini's, and doomed to a race against the 2 others who didn't unlock mini's in their dlc.

    Hopefully as the Xbox player matching system gains more experience it will learn to match players better. Then this game will be solid. As it stands now, it seems to just go by your "rank". Which is very arbitrary. One person playing on my machine was in the top 50k of a races finishing time. Another at 100k, the other around 1 millionth in ranking. We all ended up being the same rank (as we took turns) and we all ended up racing the same other people in multiplayer. Which means either the matchmaking system just goes by your driver "rank", no other people were playing at the time. Or the match making system is all but broken.

    If they get the matchmaking system fixed this game could be a 7 out of 10. Until then I will rank this game a 6. Unless your a hardcore racing fan, it's probably not worth buying.    … Expand

    I've been playing racing games since the Atari 2600 and Pole Position in the arcades. As a matter of fact, racing games are why I have a console in the first place. I picked up a PS1 so I could play GranTurismo 1, and then GT2... I picked up a PS2 so I could play GT3 (The PS2 I bought was the GT3 A-SPEC edition), and then I played GT4. Not just played, but finished all 4 titles...I've been playing racing games since the Atari 2600 and Pole Position in the arcades.

I picked up a PS2 so I could play GT3 (The PS2 I bought was the GT3 A-SPEC edition), and then I played GT4. Not just played, but finished all 4 titles...

    Then I had children... Needless to say I did not have much time or money to invest in a PS3 and GT5, and I was disappointed. Then, in late 2011, I received a Xbox 360 as a prize at some IT event (I am in IT BTW), and it came with FM2. I played it for day or so and remembered how much fun I had with racing games. I had not really played any of my racing games since my oldest was born in late 2006, and I was quickly pulled back in much to the dismay of my wife as well. I went online and saw that FM4 had released a few months earlier and ordered both FM4 and FM3... I was hooked on Forza at that point.... I have hundreds of hours in FM4 driving, tuning and painting. FH1 was fun, but not deep enough (was done with it in less than 2 months)... FM4 is something I still fire up on the 360 today...

    Then the Xbox One released with FM5 as a release title. At first I was excited, but then I realized that it would be over a $600 investment (console + game + VIP + car pass). My heart sank and I just kept happily plugging along in FM4. I heard all of the bad press about FM5 in the media as well as from my clubmates, and at first was happy I didn't drop a heap of cash on the game. I also have a FANATEC CSR Wheel, pedals and shift, and I was also upset there were no plans from Microsoft to allow higher end wheels an upgrade path the to XB1. I was content with not getting an XB1 or FM5....

    As I watched the news for FM5, I saw release after release of car packs, three tracks and a host of updates to the game. In July, I decided to bite the bullet and pick up an XB1 and FM5. Boy am I glad I did... I cannot speak for the state of the game at release, but I can speak for it as of July... It's a 10... Well... Almost a 10... I give it an 8, and I will tell you why...

    First, let's talk about what I love about FM5:
    > The physics are outstanding. Much better than FM4, and tuning actually works the way I expect it to work.
    > Graphics! OMG! If I wanted perfect physics and a true racing simulation, I'd go play Raceroom, Assetto Corsa, iRacing, etc. I play Forza because I love cars! Man do they look great!
    > Audio... Drive the 1973 Pontiac Firebird T/A HD455 and you'll see what I mean
    > Tuning and Livery design - Again... I play Forza because I love cars... I can make each car my own, and I LOVE that!
    > Career (called Leagues) mode - I love the way this works in FM5... Much better than FM4's career mode...
    > Drivatars - SOOOOOO much better than the FM4 AI on rails...
    > Forzavista - Never really used it much in FM4, but I LOVE it in FM5 since it showcases the car with MY livery on it and it's very accessible...

    Now for what I don't like about FM5 (this is where it loses 2 stars):
    > Rushed - To meet the XB1 launch, FM5 was rushed and it shows.
    > Where are the clubs???? This is a MUST!!!
    > Where did all of the tracks go? Not enough variety, and Asia was completely dropped!! Motegi? Suzuka?... Where's Hockenhiemring, Mugello and Sonoma (Infinion)?
    > Where is the car list with all of the details? I have to make a best guess at where peak torque and power hit based on an inacurate line graph and telemtry pulls on a long straight...
    > Telemetry in the replays... Where did it go?
    > Where did the garage grouping go in the garage? I have over 200 cars and I have to scroll for days to get to Subaru. I think my right bumper is already wearing out!

    Basically, It should be a 10-star game, but it loses 2 (almost 3) for the lack of content and features over FM4, and FM4 is a 10-star game in my book.    … Expand

My biggest issue with this game however are the childish arcade elements they throw in... I'm talking about these "special events" such as driving through bowling pins at the Top Gear test track, racing through traffic, etc. Who thought this was a good idea? Leave that stuff for Horizon which is a very fun game in its own right. And why can't we have races that are more than 2 or 3 laps?? Do people have that bad of ADD these days? I LOVED the endurance races of the past. You really got to learn the track and you didn't have to pass every stinkin' car in the race right away. I'm jumping around tracks so much in this game, that I almost need to leave the suggested driving line on just to figure out where I'm going.

Even with all the DLC I am super bored of doing the same tracks over and over again. The game feels totally half finished and it feels like the developers are forcing you into buying the DLC just so you don't get bored. The career mode lacks direction and gets boring pretty quickly as there's really no/little rewards to motivate you to keep playing so there's very little sense of achievement or progression. They've also not included some of the best features of the previous games such as the popular auction house which is disappointing.

    That being said the multiplayer is the saving grace of the game, as the racing is competitive and fun and its super easy to find well populated lobbies. However quite often it does feel like whoever has the quickest setup wins, meaning the average joe has no chance. Its worth noting that the game has split screen which is rare these days as most developers don't seem to bother. Other than that the graphics are decent and certain tracks in particular look lush (prague is beautiful), there's still a good array of cars (although less than previous forza's) and the extensive tuning and paint options are still there.

    At the time of writing this game has been out for a while now and if you can find a very cheap copy it's worth a punt if you're a racing fan, but if not I'd recommend either getting the brilliant project cars instead or waiting for forza 6 and hoping its better than this.    … Expand

    Forza is an awesome realistic car game made with the most detail I have ever seen in any car game. It is a great for people who are car enthusiasts and I am which made me enjoy the game, but the problem I had with the game was that they needed more maps because I felt that it was getting a bit too repetitive and there is too much DLC. Way too much!! If you are a casual car gamer then IForza is an awesome realistic car game made with the most detail I have ever seen in any car game.

    Fun racing game. From the graphics and a lot of cars and even the way they handle its real nice. Xbox first good game of next gen consoles. I like going through all the tracks trying to beat my best time.

    Um dos piores Forzas da franquia. Um jogo pobre, sem conteúdo e fraco, parece uma remasterização do Forza 4. Franquias anuais não dão bem, caem na mesmice. Forza Motorsport precisa de tempo.

    o jogo é bom, mas poderia ter sido muito melhor. achei que pouca as pistas que tem, os campeonatos não são tão interessantes já que ficam repetindo as mesmas telas, você precisa fazer macumba pra conseguir jogar de 2 jogadores. é triste ver que a empresa priorizou mais os gráficos do que o resto do jogo. não ficou ruim, mas, eu esperava muito mais.

    Forza 5 was my introduction to the Forza franchise and is a great game overall. With gorgeous graphics, a silky smooth 60 fps and many great tracks the game is a joy to play. However, the game is held back by its lack of content as it feels that the game was rushed quickly to meet the launch of the Xbox One.

    Muito bom , contudo há conquistas que só podem ser desbloqueadas através de micro transação e uma pequena variação de pistas ao longo da jogatina .

    Un très sérieux bond en avant côté pilotage qui place désormais la série des Forza Motorsport au sommet des simulations réalistes : c'est en vérité ce qui se rapproche le plus de l'expérience réelle avec une simple manette ! La dite manette dont les gâchettes qui vibrent fournissent un retour des plus précis sur le comportement de la voiture, un régal ! on ne lui voit décidément aucunUn très sérieux bond en avant côté pilotage qui place désormais la série des Forza Motorsport au sommet des simulations réalistes : c'est en vérité ce qui se rapproche le plus de l'expérience réelle avec une simple manette ! La dite manette dont les gâchettes qui vibrent fournissent un retour des plus précis sur le comportement de la voiture, un régal ! on ne lui voit décidément aucun concurrent digne de ce nom, ni Project Cars, ni Assetto Corsa, ni iRacing qui sont à la fois moches et d'une physique très approximative.

    Ce pilotage s'apprécie bien entendu toutes aides désactivées, ce qui demande un certain temps d'acclimatation. Forza Motorsport 5 est un jeu qui réclame une finesse certaine désormais. Les sensations sont là, on a vraiment l'impression de piloter sans avoir à se taper un volant... à cet égard le volant Fanatec n'est plus supporté : un doigt d'honneur magistral de la part de Microsoft et Turn10... et ce n'est pas le Trustmaster cher et à la finition lamentable qui y changera quoi que ce soit, d'autant que le shifter optionnel n'est... pas supporté sur la One.

    L'ambiance sonore a également été améliorée et tutoie presque la réalité : réverbération, écho, une gestion fort convaincante de l'effet Doppler mais aussi des différences admission/échappement. Certes ce n'est pas encore parfait mais aucun jeu dans le domaine ne fait aussi bien, ni avec une aussi bonne fidélité.

    Techniquement parlant, on baigne avec bonheur dans un 1080p à 60 images par seconde, des circuits et des voitures refaits et un éclairage superbe : le plus beau jeu de bagnoles actuel, ni plus ni moins !

    Les drivatars sont une amélioration très significative de l'IA : les réactions sont imprévisibles, il arrive souvent que quelques drivatars de kévins s'invitent dans vos courses avec les résultats hilarants que l'on sait... Dégâts un peu moins permissifs qu'avant : une suspension endommagée, la caisse tire à gauche, un tonneau et elle ne bouge plus (quand même !).

    Ces lauriers (mérités) ayant été tressés, il convient de dire un mot ou deux sur des problèmes importants...

    -Le Fanatec comme dit plus haut n'est pas supporté mais passons...

    -Les replays ont encore des progrès à faire, n'importe quel Gran Turismo fait bien mieux dans la gestion des caméras... (défaut récurrent des Forza...). Les informations de temps au tour et du nombre de tours ont disparu...

    -Toujours pareil aussi, l'association km/h et ces putains de KW... de toute façon on ne peut même plus choisir ; ça se prétend "passionné de voitures" et ça affiche des kilowatts...

    -Impossible de régler sa bagnole dans le menu de pré-course comme avant : il faut retourner au menu principal, lamentable !

    -Lors d'un championnat, on est obligé à chaque fois de charger la course suivante avant de pouvoir quitter.

    -Le freinage dont le servo est par défaut réglé trop fort implique un blocage des roues beaucoup trop rapide. Encore un défaut récurrent de la série. Il faut acheter le kit de freinage course pour régler ça correctement (dans les 60%). On peut aussi palier un peu au problème en réglant les limites haute et basse de la commande ad hoc sur le pad.

    -Le niveau sonore des concurrents n'est pas réglable (ça l'était avant pourtant) et on a parfois du mal à entendre sa caisse dans la meute.

    -Les temps de chargement n'ont pas progressé par rapport à Forza 4 : c'est dire s'ils sont longs, longs comme un jour sans pain...

    -Globalement l'interface et les menus sont très en retrait par rapport à Forza 4.

    -Contenu sabré : deux fois moins de voitures et de circuits par rapport à Forza 4. Si 200 charettes ma foi, ça passe encore, 14 circuits c'est bien trop peu !

    -DLC day one, passe saisonnier à 50 euros et le système de jetons à microtransactions "appuyer sur Y pour gagner un niveau plus vite". Une pratique scandaleuse et indigne.

    Voilà, FM5 est pétri de défauts mais aussi d'immenses qualités. Horripilant dans sa finition mais passionnant dans sa conduite. Il est également pourri par une mentalité mercantile particulièrement infâme. Je pensais lui mettre 6 comme un vote-sanction mais ce serait une injustice eu égard au gros travail accompli sur le coeur du jeu : le pilotage !    … Expand

    Es la primera vez que juego un Forza Motorsport - probé el primer Horizon antes-, y la sensación jugable que me deja está muy bien. Los controles y la sensación de manejo son muy satisfactorios, así como su dificultad (que es ajustable).

Algo que me ha encantado del juego es la inmersión sonora, cada pantalla y cada vehículo suenan de manera distinta, es muy realista en ese sentido. Técnicamente se ve de lujo y al momento de su salida me cuesta pensar en muchos juegos que se vieran mejor.

    Así el núcleo del juego, en cuanto a conducción y simulación, es muy sólido. Pero tiene demasiados problemas como para darle una nota mejor a ésta, lo primero es que las pistas son pocas y mas allá de comprar los nuevos autos, no ofrece ningún incentivo a explorar las diversas categorías de competición. Correr por las mismas pistas una y otra vez se vuelve cansado. De esta manera mi problema con Forza 5 es que resulta divertido las primeras horas de juego, pero luego se torna en un juego muy aburrido pese a tener una mecánica de conducción sólida e inmersiva. Falta música ambiental, falta variedad de pistas, falta variedad de modos de juego además de las carreras. Salgo un poco decepcionado de esta entrega, espero mas de la saga en el futuro.    … Expand

    Salto gráfico respecto al 4, pero tiene pocos circuitos y lo hacen algo repetitivo. Luego el sistema de juego, hace que una vez te has pasado el juego, tiene que pasarlo con cada categoría de vehículos por separado cada campeonato, lo que lo llega a hacer aburrido.

    The bad:
    Iconic tracks were lost and the remaining tracks seem few because it does not overcrowded the distribution of tracks and places properly at the events (this was corrected with a patch and with the arrival of Long Beach and Nurburgring). It has some frame pulls at Bowling events, outside of that the game looks spectacular. Some multiplayer and community achievements can no longer be taken out.

    Lo Meh !:
    The chips to buy cars (redeeming real money for sayings to buy cars) is neither good nor bad but it is an option if you felt you were not moving forward and wanted to run in other categories. "The power of the cloud", this if I experience it when I compare my experience playing connected vs a co-worker who played offline since in my game in Nurbur or in Nurburing I saw leaves falling and in my friend's, not in Laguna Seca I saw dust whirlpools by air currents and in that of the no and the helicopter following the race I saw it years before that of my friend ... those details were processed in the cloud and enriched my game with silly details but if they were there    … Expand

    Forza 5 is in every way apart from graphics, worse than Forza 4. Hell, it's probably the same story when comparing it to Forza 2.

    Recently played this game after already played 6/7 and honestly don’t get why so much hate. 1080p 60 on the Xbox one? Yeah content may be lacking but for a next gen show case this definitely delivered. Apart from track being abit repetitive after a while a good while of game play nothing bad to say.

    Forza Motorsport 5 is an entertaining but bland experience. On one hand it impresses on the track with good visuals and fantastic handling. On the other hand it lacks content and the career mode is very dull outside of the races.

    Forza Motorsport 5 is not a bad racing game per se, but it feels kinda downgraded from the expansive Forza games of Xbox 360. The graphics are fancy, but that doesn't quite compensate the (relative) lack of cars and tracks. [Feb 2014]
