Forza 5 - good or bad choice?

My next acquisition, good or bad choice?

I really like it, the only downside for me is there are not that many tracks, but for me it's the best racing game out there on all formats at the mo.

Not my personal taste racing games so can not comment,crazy taxi on the sega dreamcast was my limit,but it's one of the better looking Xbox One games by all accounts

Awesome choice mate, absolutely exquisite visuals too!!
Only downfall is that it doesn't have half the content Forza 3 and 4 had!!

never heard you mention it before Kila if it was that good you would own it��Right

Ha was the first game i had on the console

Knew it wasn't your bag matey so never felt the need to mention it too much plus people generally know there's only been one racer to have for last gen so it was always going to be decent this time around!!

To be honest i wish i had bought Forza opposed to Ryse and Dead Rising 3 which are completely useless games and don't resemble a new generation.

Even though i don't really like racing games ,i must admit I'm a admirer of games that look nice.

Okay so am playing with the assists on but it is better than I expected, and the car control in terms of controlling sliding works very well even with the stick control. Don't recall having so much control and it feeling more like a real car to control.

The throttle controls are nicer than the 360 in terms of being able to feed in the power as you go through a corner.

Downside - seems to be another pay to play game, i.e. you get a good chunk of stuff but is even more in your face about buying upgrades than I would like for the price.

Now to wait on Grid Defense 2 which is due later in the year apparently.

Glad you're enjoying it mate, now go have a play with just clutch enabled, you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll adapt and how much more satisfying it feels!!

Still playing with 'arcade' controls but enjoying it.

Multiplayer can be frustrating, but also immensely rewarding, i.e. bad when you are shoved off track on a straight and end up rolling, but great when you fight 3 into a corner and you have a clean fight.

Looking at damage on my cars it is usually tailgate with all the damage, apart from the unavoidable they spin in front of me stuff. Do hit the odd one or two by mistake, but blind spots seem to be massive on the cars.

Maybe I should trade in some of these lame Xbox one games I have a try it out....not really that into racing games but if I get entertained for a few hours it's better than having games like Dead Rising 3 and a few others just rotting away

Ok have found that I am doing the career and then taking on a rival and trying to beat people and perfect corners on a track.

The difference in style between cars is very noticeable too. Atom feels like it will kill you, RS 200 is a pocket rocket but holds road better and M3 hurts you bad if you don't get the power down right on leaving a corner.

You're in for even more of a treat once you master the controls with all assists off mate obviously all the cars feeling different and having their own traits!!
