Featuring the McLaren P1 as its cover vehicle, there is much detail put into this vehicle alone. The spoiler rises and lowers when you're driving and parking, respectively. The introduction of Driveatars was a neat feature for AI-based progression. Forza Motorsport 5 set the standard for Xbox One games, and we can't forget this instant-classic. These two games share the same publishers but have different developers.
Forza Motorsport can be considered something of a spiritual successor, even though Forza Motorsport came and Project Gotham Racing co-existed. Which series you prefer boils down to preference. While the first Forza Horizon was a bold and ambitious project, Forza Horizon 2 went the extra mile with its open-world. This is perhaps the most underrated game of the Forza Horizon franchise, as it did so much for the series.
It had better car customization and a wider variety of cars to choose from. You could drift around its open-world with friends for hours on end. You don't necessarily need to participate in its events to enjoy this game, even though modes like King of the Hill are addicting. Although Forza Motorsport 4 is by no means a lackluster game, it could've added more features rather than polish existing gameplay elements.
The Kinect Autovista mode was an excellent addition for those who owned a Kinect. It allowed you to interact with vehicles like never seen before in the Forza Motorsport series. A significant number of tracks were taken from Forza Motorsport 3. When a game adds too much content, it can wind up looking like a revolting mess. Beyond its slight but welcome tweaks to the unlocking system, Forza Horizon 5 makes hardly any progress on its predecessors in terms of game design.
It really is as if the previous couple of games just got airlifted to Mexico and received an extreme technical glow-up. If you have any interest whatsoever in driving fast cars fast, I highly recommend it.

The multiplayer can be a bit dodgy, but mostly everyone now is respectable in terms of not ramming you into oblivion. The customizable driver suits are a nice touch, and you can even choose to be a male or female character, which we think is way overdue.
Forza Motorsport 3 , in its structural essence, is perfection. This game laid the groundwork for future Motorsport titles, which many sadly disregarded.
The career mode, vehicle characteristics, car list, ambience, and tracks are fantastic; there are just a few absent quirks and frills that come in later games.
The game runs smoothly and the physics show no surprises—everything drives how it should. The Camino Viejo de Montserrat ranks among the most visually stunning vistas in any racing game, and flows pretty well, too. For the time that this game came out, Turn 10 nailed it. If you want to build a truly great motorsports game, follow the guidelines within this disk. The fact that Forza —a noted motorsports-focused franchise—could pull something like this out of thin air and succeed is mind-boggling.
That's like asking the Call of Duty guys cough-cough, Activision to make a medieval battle simulator. There's just no way this should've worked. Yet it did. Based in the red-toned Colorado mountains, Forza Horizon paired free-roaming supercars with a music festival to create a totally new twist on car games. The opening menu and theme song are among the best ever, and the game is an absolute blast; the formula is flawless.
The graphics were insane at the time, but are showing their age—the lighting seems to be a bit off, too gray or not enough saturation. That doesn't stop the cars from looking gorgeous and sounding good—and by good I mean some of the best in the series.
Hit up YouTube for some Forza Horizon car sounds if you don't believe us. Someone give the sound designer a Grammy, Olympic Gold Medal, or anything, really. For some reason, there's a group of Forza Horizon 4 haters—and they vehemently hate this game. I have no idea why. There's only one knock on FH4 : The engine and exhaust audio. It is an issue, but it's one largely overshadowed by the pure genius and perfection FH4 brings. The biggest change this game saw was the season system, which we think is a great way to spice things up.
Yes, winter does suck if you prefer road racing, but you have three other seasons to enjoy. The car list is nuts, with a heavy focus on British options. There's not much that beats cruising through an English autumn in a forest green Triumph. Back to the car audio—it's bad. Many engines sound the same, and the turbo addition sounds generic. That's the largest outcry against this game, and the one thing holding it back from supremacy.
But the scenery, cars, and in-game additions are enough to keep us coming back time and time again to explore the British countryside.
