Racing may be niche, but this game shows it to be thrilling, engrossing, and welcoming. I played it for countless hours and plan on going back, right after finishing this review... like right now.[/quote] [url=http://www.polygon.com/2013/11/20/5124990/forza-5-review]Polygon: [b]9/10[/b][/url] [quote]Forza 5 is beautiful, sure, with a stunning, light-filled world of engines and tire smoke. But with the introduction of aggressive, convincing AI that makes every offline race feel like a multiplayer competition, Turn 10 has charted a course for the future of the series — and created the Xbox One's first must-own game.[/quote] [url=http://www.destructoid.com/review-forza-motorsport-5-265990.phtml]Destructoid: [b]9/10[/b][/url] [quote]But, at the end of the day, the racing is what matters. And with this game, the racing is fantastic, and Turn 10 is really onto something with this Drivatar stuff. It alone gives Forza Motorsport 5 something over every other racer out there, pushing the genre forward. They've remedied the racing genre's biggest problem: scripted AI cars.[/quote] [url=http://www.gamespot.com/forza-motorsport-5/]Gamespot: [b]9/10[/b][/url] [quote]All of this combined makes Forza Motorsport 5 an outstanding improvement to an already excellent racing franchise. It's far more than just a great racing sim, or a gorgeous showcase for the types of feats the Xbox One hardware is capable of. This is a game built on the romantic thrill of motorsport in all its forms, and that love for its subject matter is all but impossible to resist.[/quote] [url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/20/forza-motorsport-5-review]IGN: [b]8.8/10[/b][/url] [quote]Forza 5 is gorgeous and smooth as butter, and its utterly enchanting handling makes it a joy to drive hard, but this game is more than just a rock solid technical titan for the Xbox One. It’s an essential destination for the automobile obsessed. It may be lighter on girth than where we left off last generation, and still lacking much-requested features like night racing and rain, but wrestling a car through some of the world’s most legendary corners at the very limits of adhesion has never looked or felt this good on console. As a result Forza 5 is a very hard game for a revhead like myself not to love.[/quote] [url=http://www.gameinformer.com/games/forza_motorsport_5/b/xboxone/archive/2013/11/20/forza-5-game-informer-review.aspx]Game Informer: [b]8.75/10[/b][/url] [quote]Forza 5 takes a big step forward only to be held back by what it has removed. I'd rather not have to be subject to such a tradeoff, but then again a racer's fortune is always made out on the track.[/quote] [url=http://www.oxm.co.uk/66600/reviews/forza-motorsport-5-review/?page=1]OXM: [b]8/10[/b][/url] [quote]Forza 5 is often simulation racing at its best, but Turn 10 hasn't quite rendered all its previous work obsolete. Given the reduced track and car count, and the present wobbliness of Drivatars, the game sometimes feels like it hasn't quite burst out of its shell. As a launch game, though, it's a wonderful achievement. The urge to ask "are we there yet" has been overwhelming - Forza 5's answer is "just about."[/quote] [url=http://www.joystiq.com/2013/11/20/forza-motorsport-5-review-cloud-strife/]Joystiq: [b]8/10[/b][/url] [quote]Cloud is good.[/quote] [url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-20-forza-motorsport-5-review]Eurogamer: [b]7/10[/b][/url] [quote]Ignore the nonsense, though, and it can still be electrifying. Take an Audi R18 e-tron away from the messy drone of the career and set about beating a Rivals hot lap time around Spa and it's sublime: the diesel engine roars stealthily, the sun streaming through the Ardennes' thick forest. With Forza Motorsport 5, Turn 10's created a driving experience both accessible and beautiful - but it's been stripped back to make Xbox One's launch, and augmented with a host of ugly extras that only serve Microsoft's bid to make a few dollars more.[/quote] [url=http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-one/forza-motorsport-5]Metacritc: [b]82[/b] (Currently)[/url]
