Lacks the girth of FM4 but wrestling iconic cars around legendary tracks has never looked or felt this good on console.

Post Arcade (National Post): 7.5 / 10 by Chad Sapieha

Turn 10's Xbox One debut delivers magnificent graphics and excellent car physics, but its primary mode follows an old and well-worn road.

Forza Motorsport 5 for XONE is another installment of the most popular series of racing games available on Xbox consoles. As in case of previous installments of this car saga, the game was developed by Turn 10 studio.

Mechanics

The fifth game once again shows the world of fast cars racing through picturesque tracks. The style of the game remained the same – it is still a game with strictly simulative driving model that requires high driving abilities from the player. For the first time in the series, among the hundreds of available cars one can find vehicles from the American series IndyCar and two classical Formula 1 cars.

Forza Motorsport 5, similarly as rival titles, also focuses on integrating the multiplayer mode and social aspects – the Drivatars are among the novelties in the game. These cloud-based user profiles gather experience for the owner even if he isn’t currently driving – his abilities are determined based on previous achievements.

The developers decided to continue their cooperation with the creators of the popular TV series “Top Gear”. Thanks to that, in the fifth installment of the series one can hear many new, professional commentaries of Jeremy Clarkson and his associates.

Technical aspects

Forza Motorsport 5 fully utilizes the capabilities of Xbox One console. Thanks to that it has picturesque and detailed tracks and very realistic car models.
