    Say goodbye to Career mode. The Career mode is what made the Forza series so much fun - buying a crappy car, upgrading it to be more competitive in other classes, and racing it over and over. None of that exists in Forza 6. In the new Career mode, there are little races which require you to buy and drive a different car for every race. They even auto-upgrade your car to be competitive, a nice way of dumbing it down. All the little things in Forza 6 they changed, just ruined it compared to Forza 4 (the last Forza game I really enjoyed).

    The list of terrible changes is long:
    - The menu system sucks. Buttons do different actions at different menus and it will forever confuse you.
    - Test drives start right away. Say goodbye to drag racing.
    - Test drives don't show your ghost. Say goodbye to learning the track or racing yourself.
    - Test drives don't save your laptimes. Say goodbye to recording hot laps.
    - You can only bring certain cars to certain race events. Say goodbye to driving a muscle car in aJapanese import race.
    - Career mode sucks, which I already explained above.
    - Rewards are completely random, it's literally a slot machine system, you get credits by getting lucky, not by driving better.

    I'm a single-player kind of guy when it comes to racing sims. What I love to do is buy all the cars and thoroughly test them. Put them through the quarter mile, half mile, full mile, record the times. Drive them over and over at my favorite tracks racing my previous ghost and see how the upgrades affect performance. Taking a dinky Trueno and upgrading it to become a beast in Career mode and racing it against other cars. All of those things, I can no longer do in Forza 6. They improved the game mechanics but ripped out the game play in the process.    … Expand

    I was going to give the game a 6. It is a somewhat worthy, but not amazing racing title. Definitely not the racing "sim" we have all been told it was.

    Been playing Forza since the 1st title and I am a huge forza fan.. well used to be, before I bought fifth installment and this game. I have always played with a pad without any assists. I'm constantly in top 1% in lap times on global scale.

    Driving is more realistic than ever. That I'm afraid is the only good thing. AI is so bad and blind to player actions that I stopped playing after 30 to 35 hours. This isn't a racing sim, it's destruction derby simulator. AI is constantly crashing into something. When AI ruins your game on the last lap of endurance race by deciding to brake in the middle of a straight without any reason so you crash into them.. Let's just say that I would rather cut my face off and wear it as a hat, than play this garbage anymore. Porsche DLC is an instant -5 from me. Porsche should already be in the game. AAA titles are worse and worse every year. I have had much more fun playing indie games lately. And more often I find myself picking up an older generation controller instead of ps4 or xbox one. Even nes and snes.

    My score of 3 comes purely from physics and graphics which are both great. But the fact is, that isn't enough for a good racing game.    … Expand

So much for simulation gaming LOLL Then when you barely touch them, they brake and brake until you almost get to zero! What a joke!!? where is the clown who made that possible!! Your car will get stuck under his car and you cannot get out of there unless you decelerate to almost 1/3 of the speed you can go. The physic is so unrealistic that if you ever drove a fast car or played any good game, youll see that the car behave like nothing you could expect. Money is useless in the game. ''Mods''(special card that gives you penalty for extra credit that you will never need) are useless.
    And the night racing...wow this is a joke!! 1million car and they light up like a 5k beater hahahah poor game it is!!
    Any racing in rain is boring as hell; rain effect is a big joke too LOL
    The DLC is a freaking theft system!! I mean you cant play the GT350, Camaro 16', all the porsche unless buying the pack and many more. What a deception.
    Menus are a big POS, plain and simple. This is the worst racing game I've played, EVER!

When I buy a game for the full price, I want to have a full game and not developers wanting to urge me to invest the same amount of money again. Every time I want to purchase a car with the game currency, I have to see 20 or more cars tagged as "DLC". These cars can neither be driven in any way nor purchased with game currency. Players are supposed to buy very expensive expansion packs. The game's microtransaction system is worse than in any free-to-play game, and the developer makes a truly greedy impression. I would give the game 10/10 if I could disable DLC cars and not show them, because the game itself is brilliant, but the microtransactions really annoy and suck.    … Expand

    Where are The Qualifying, the championship (FH2 own), and the Clubs (Forza 4 & FH2 own)?!?!

    I buy the Xbox 360 because I need Forza 4. And I love it very much. And I buy the X1, but this is...

    The development was small. Not huge improvement... I play now one PC with Racerom, pCARS, iRAcing and rFactor 2. And yes, I don't like this Forza.

    No proper controller settings makes it a chore to play, all cars feel like they under steer way to much, only way to counter this is have all the assists on so no credits. Will be trading it in and stick to project cars.

    Good points:
    - Easy to play with a controller, no need for an expensive wheel (as opposed to Assetto Corsa or Project Cars)
    Bad points:
    - IA is terrible
    - Rewind option is too arcade, but because of IA destroying my race I have to keep it
    - Always start in the middle of the grid
    - Most races just last more or less 3 laps
    - Most cars come in expensive DLCs

    For singleplayer offerings you have the career, showcases & arcade.

    Intro videos play per tour volume/narration overview for each car class with nice personality of narrators. Same FM5 & May/Hammond.

    Can choose between any of 6 car classes per tour (swap whenever it lets you for a tour, 3 tours per volume and 5 volumes.

    Car class swapping is optional to repeat each tour with another class.

    17% appears after the first tour run.

    Repeating while optional I think is weak to offer content.

    FM5 may look like it had less (even if sometimes 100 events) but it sprinkled signature, high/low PI score, auto cross & more in-between, these events have been moved to showcase.

    So it's only racing & only 'same order of tracks' so if get bored/struggle to progress on tracks this is why, do the showcases whenever feel like it/when they unlock.

    Some unlock from other showcases but most do the career mode.

    If preferred giving up on a car class like FM5 well can't really. You can I think change the car class but you aren't changing the track in FM6, in FM5 you could pick any car class championship whenever you wanted, come back & your fine.

    When you finished the major events you had optional race ones & can redo them but they were all flexible afterwards, FM6 is not flexible & tells the player what to do.

    Showcase doesn't tell the player what to do just set the scene (history, endurance, cone events, etc.) to have fun. Or FM7 whatever race/special events and car needed. FM6 is very restrictive.

    If want a straightforward/hand holding career by all means.

    Compare to PGR2, track/event variety even if car class limited. no PI/PP. I think a bit more flexible in track selection not only car selection/car class focus.

    It is very much focused on car classes. If you don't want menu jumping that's fair. If you don't want car details of this HP, K cars, tyres, country only, etc. Then you'll enjoy it.

    If you want to enjoy events with those requirements like GT games or FM1-4 to go about events & strategy limits or the FM3&4 calendar 3 choices/all events list yeah you don't get that here so you might not enjoy this game.

    Night events are hit & miss. Cool idea to return. The cosmetic option makes the lights break so good luck driving. :) Just word of warning.

    Track selection is good. Personality is there.. Some old tracks don't return, but some new, some returning. Many layouts. Many real circuits, some good city tracks.

    No touge/hillclimbs events/locations but many modern racing games don't offer them (some do drift still) as I assume open world ones fill in that gap instead? No idea.

    PI score like usual. Like gear score if familiar with shooters/RPGs.

    I look at the car stats not these ranks. Tuning helps but I just went high stat stock cars. Cost vs tuning parts to fit rank ceilings for events wasn't worth it against opponents (that & Forza auto-tuning exists still I think with roulette cars, not dealership).

    Roulette is new with 1 of 2 level up systems. Still manufacturer discounts for cars level up, roulette for player level.

    Varies from credits, cars & mod packs. Progression can be broken.

    If want a fast car well, use it in multiplayer/arcade as class isn't likely open in career tour/volume yet (I think) (PGR2 had quote of fast cars not accessible from start, so 3 fixed that with open approach) as far as it seems. To me this is odd. 1.We got the right cars 'in order' in FM1-4, FM6 1hr into game a supercar roulette can't use? 2.GT7 has a similar roulette & invites to cars/car parts. Gladly FM6 has none of that. Mods are tweaks. More weight for credit payouts, more grip/more grip on a track, that kind of thing (are other types just picking a handful). There are Green, Blue & Purple. Blue & Purple are more involved positive but a negative catch. Can only use 1 of each not 2 green/blue/purple. Other than weight during a Raptor showcase event I didn't notice any different. I could not beat the event with the mod installed, when removed had no issues. Grip may be there but didn't notice. Use mods if wish, can go without them. Driving model/physics/graphics/damage model are fine no complaints there. It's similar to FM5. FM6 to me is FM5 remixed/few new features. Damage model, auto brake, sim/arcade driving feel & other settings still here & offer xp/credit differences to be easy/hard. AI/drivatar difficulty was ok. Almost struggled with bit above average (in the intro), kept it at normal level/sometimes lower to see how it varied throughout rest of game.    … Expand
