Forza Motorsport Game Series

A series of racing games created and developed by Turn 10, a studio owned by Microsoft. Forza Motorsport was born in 2005 as a Redmond giant's direct response to the series Gran Turismo - a hit from the Xbox's rival PlayStation consoles. A fierce and even rivalry quickly developed between the two brands, which continues to this day. Forza has also become a hallmark of Microsoft's hardware due to its very high quality graphics.

Shacknews: 8 / 10 by Jan Ole Peek

After six years of waiting for the next iteration of Forza Motorsport, Turn 10 Studios delivers a solid offering, packed with hundreds of cars, upgrades, and tuning options, all bundled in a gorgeous presentation package. Not outstanding, but good support for racing hardware means that the experience on track is exactly what Forza fans have been waiting for.

Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Cory Wells

Turn 10 Studios and PlayGround Games have improved the simulation racing aspect with Forza Motorsport. The racing is clearly the focus and the results are best experienced with a wheel as the tire model physics have helped to push this more into sim racing territory.

God is a Geek: 9.5 / 10 by Steve Chambers

An excellent companion piece to the open-world, frantic off-road action of Forza Horizon, Forza Motorsport is the next generation of racing that I've been waiting so very long for.
