    Best Racing Game Hands DOWN!

    I love the Forza Series... This game is no exception! It has a plentiful amount of cars and tracks. I never found myself bored with the game and I also love the intro to each racing class by the Top Gear guys!! I wish there were a little more tracks and cars but, fear not because Forza 6 is almost here! My biggest gripe is this is the GOTY Edition and there isn't much that differentiates this from the regular edition minus the Top Gear downloadable pack.

    Good graphics and game play. Great selection of cars to drive. Too few circuits to race on. Good game though.

    I am a person that will mainly play racing games and I love this game, the cars the tracks are all awesome. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is how they try and nickle and dime you for car packs and tokens. What happen to the days of playing a game to unlock what you wanted. Now you have to spend more money just to get certain access. I hope that changes with Forza 6

    I used to like racing games .... But im not sure if its the game or just me. I find it very boring. Very repetitive, all you do is race in what seems to be the same patterns ... For me atleast. Control is very hard. Im always finishing last place. Graphics are amazing. They have a bunch of cars. All in all. I think its just me that sucks at the game.

    besides having the best graphics of any racing out there,another cool feature is downloading other peoples beautiful paint jobs.my only complaints are there could be more tracks,and where is the full Nurburgring?weather features like rain and darkness would have been nice and still no Porsche! But overall a great racing game.

    Forza 5 is a great sim racing game. The difficulty can be tuned from stupid easy to ridiculously hard and the graphics are beautiful. The game of the year edition gives you some bonus cars as well. The only downside is having to earn credits to buy the cars you want to race. Overall a great buy for racing fans

    I enjoy this game, especially the career mode. However I do think I will enjoy it more once I get used to the controls and can remove some of the handicapping. While it is a simulator and not an arcade style racing game. it is fun and I do enjoy that you race against skills of others rather than AI.

    I haven't played this game very much yet, so I'm not very good at it, but the graphics and sound are very good in my home theater. The on-board camera view, sound, and controller vibrations make it very realistic, but it's hard to tell how the car is handling without seeing all of it.

    This is what you'd expect from a new console version of a previous game. Better visuals, better sound, same great gameplay. There isn't the selection of tracks that previous versions have provided, but it's still highly entertaining for any racing fan.

    I bought this game just so that me and my friend could play split screen, and it was hard to figure out. after about two weeks of owning the game I finally got it! here are the steps so no-one struggles in the future: 1-turn on Xbox console 2-make sure both remotes are turned on 3-connect one remote to one Xbox acount, and the other two a different Xbox acount (*if both remotes are not logged in to separate accounts before you open the game, it will not work) 4-have one player log into the game and on the main menu select free-play 5-have the player that didn't do the steps before this hold down the 3-lined button and wait for their car to appear (if this doesn't work the first time and when you press the three lined button it you're back to the games main menu, start this process over. yes you must restart your console also!)

    Beautiful graphics and gameplay very solid throughout. But the amount of content is much less every time the games come out. I wish I still had the cars from Forza1 to 5. It would make the game much better. Tracks also have lessened which makes no sense. But the addition of some of the new tracks makes up for the lack of tracks. Drifting is also not as fun as Forza 4. If you want to drift on current gen games I would recommend Forza Horizon 2

    Graphics are awesome, a good number of cars (still smaller than Forza 4 or the newly released Forza 6), but there needs to be more tracks.

    Purchased Forza for my grandson and I to play together. He likes cars and trucks and I'm a FPS guy :-)! You can set the options to help you along as you learn the game and then reduce it's help as you get meore experience. I would leave on the controller vibration, it does feel like you lose traction and and go in the dirt!! Downside is there is to many cars you have to buy , although there is quite a few in the game

    Although the latest edition of Forza Motorsport has stunning graphics, detail and is fun to play...there are a few things lacking. Giving players a couple new tracks is nice, yet the amount of tracks, that fans love, that have been dropped from this edition is a shame. Some iconic cars are not present either or they are only available through DLC content to purchase.
