For all its technical prowess, the Xbox has never been a contender on the racetrack. I was afraid that wasn't going to change when I played an early build of Microsoft's delayed

For years now, the Gran Turismo series is been hailed as the king of simulation racing games and for good reason. Gran Turismo has set a new standard for simulation racing with hundreds of licensed cars, superb realism, and outstanding eye candy. But

Forza has turned out to be a true force to be reckoned with, and hopefully the next game in the series will uphold the original's legacy of realism and online innovation.

Game Revolution
While it doesn’t re-invent the wheel, Forza Motorsport pretty much perfects it. Its user-friendly options make it great for casual drivers and its generous reward system honors the skill of the experienced racer.

The detractions are small but numerous. The poor handling of branded aftermarket parts, lack of real-life tracks, and tediousness of switching from racing to tuning are tops in the small flaws department.

With Microsoft's typically brilliant online implantation underpinning everything, alongside its determination to break technical boundaries Forza Motorsport is a quite staggering achievement for a first attempt and is a must have for any driving game fan.

This is by far the most realistic console racer ever made, and it's hands-down the best racing game on Xbox.

Microsoft's Gran Turismo killer is finally with us, and it's been well worth the wait. Forza proves itself able to run with Sony's masterpiece, and showcases the Xbox's still impressive abilities to outstanding effect. Consider it essential.

Over the last couple of years, Microsoft has had a pretty good track record when it came to racing games on the Xbox. The system launched with Project Gotham Racing, a game which not only looked great, but was a lot of fun to play. Not too long after

Past the mechanical aspects, Forza also allows you to paint and decal every car, customizing it to just your liking. This is an entire game in itself, and for those who like self-expression the options are almost endless. 600 different layers of detail

Personally, as much as I have been impressed by Forza, I found it to be just a little too much. It's a fantastic game, but one best suited to those willing to invest some serious time into their racing games.

Newcomers to the genre will have a wealth of information at their fingertips. While my car aficionado friend scoffed at the game for giving the performance details on a scale of one to ten, I appreciated it. For each upgrade being purchased to every

Forza's Career mode starts slower, but is much deeper and more satisfying in the long run. Each mode offers many types of races, including standard point to point and lap modes. There are dozens of courses ranging from urban street racing to racetracks,

It took a while, but Gran Turismo may have finally been shaken from its high horse. And it has taken long enough. GT has been virtually unopposed until now, except for a slight attempt by Konami with Enthusia and, predating that, a generally average -

True racing simulations are a rare breed nowadays and even more so on console. The reason is simple; few can stand tall against Polyphony Digital’s Gran Turismo series. Where certain quasi-realistic PC titles may remain unscathed, console titles even

The driving in Forza is very good and feels very realistic. The cars feel quite heavy and there is not really any floaty feeling when cornering. You have the same driving aids as real cars do these days s uch as traction control, antilock braking, and

And that's where this game shows it's a master. The race feeling you get is unlike anything seen before on Xbox. The cars feel unique in every way, the feeling of weight is present when accellerating and braking, curves need to be taken the right way,

Microsoft Game Studios is perhaps best known for Halo, but I think they instead deserve to be recognized as the world's best publisher and developer of racing games. It's a bold declaration, but with an impressive roster consisting of Project Gotham

Ever since the inception of the Xbox, Microsoft has been making counter maneuvers to everything Sony does. The latest in such moves comes in the form of Forza Motorsport, Microsoft’s own brand of driving simulator. I can tell you right off the bat that

Ultimately, I found the Drivatar about as gimmicky as the B-spec mode in Gran Turismo. Sure, it’s a novelty and something new to the genre, but it just never seemed worth it to me. The purpose of the Drivatar is to save you time by racing in races you

When it comes to graphics, Forza really pushes the Xbox’s hardware. The game just looks great; there’s no better way to say it. Cars are immaculately modeled, as are the game’s environments. Real-time lighting and shadow effects really give the

First the unavoidable comparisons; one thing you can tell straightaway is that it doesn’t look quite as good as GT4, which is a little disappointing for an Xbox game, where they usually excel over PS2 graphics. Despite being drawn with considerably

There may not be more cars than can ever be theoretically driven to make it the Xbox’s Gran Turismo, and it’s not the deepest racing game, so Bizarre Creations won’t be quaking in their boots in fear for the safety of their spectacular Xbox 360

All you need to know is that if it was a poker hand, Forza would be a royal flush. If a football score, it would be a 7-0 win. As a game, it is the finest straight-up racing game to grace any home console system and as such, is an absolute must buy.
