Forza Motorsport proves to be a simulation racer that anyone can enjoy.
The reason Forza is so good is because it succeeds on so many levels. For starters, Forza is a very easy game to get into. Players instantly begin receiving cars for winning races. This helps to keep you hooked and keeps a strong variety. Another reason that this game is so easy to get into is because of the racing line. This is essentially a driving aid. It displays a line going down the road and turns different colors determined by how fast you should be going. Although this may sort of sound like cheating, it will really help you to become a better driver. Although Forza may not boast as much as it's competition the car selection in the game is wonderful. Although they have a great selection of daily cars, such as Civic's and Jetta's, the great choices are made with the high end cars. Their are loads of different Ferrari's, Porche's, and many other super cars. The driving physics in the game are great. All of the cars feel as there supposed to. And one of the best thing in the game is the damage. Cars realistically take damage, and can get to the point where you may be going 40 mph in your $200,000 Ferrari. The graphics are top notch in the game. Although cars look fantastic, the scenery takes the spotlight. Never before in a racing game have I seen such amazing scenery. Trees look wonderful, the city streets of Japan have never looked so good, and everything is a wonder to behold.
Their are a few problems I did have with the game and unfortunately, most of these come from the sound department. The cars just don't sound right. An old Mustang doesn't have that tough feeling that all old muscle cars have. The music is the other problem I had with the game. I'm not the biggest fan of techno, but this is just plain awful. It is by far the most generic music I've ever heard. Thankfully you can use your own music from your hard drive.
Overall Forza Motorsport is a very accessible game. It offers enough rewards to keep even the most sugar crazed kid hooked to the game, and yet offers enough depth for the car enthusiasts. This makes Forza one of the best racers to come out in a long time.
