CVG:After days spent with Xbox One's demonstrably beautiful racer, we loaded up its Xbox 360 predecessor and realised what's missing from Forza Motorsport 5: Vitality, speed and exhilaration.
Carlos writes - "When it was time for Forza 5 to rock on up to the track, we were just entering the third generation of Xbox consoles, and to show off all that extra horsepower that would come inside the Xbox One, they wanted a flagship title that could truly showcase just what miracles the next generation could perform. And what better title than Microsoft’s beloved racer!"
Such s supreme racing title. Hands down racing franchise of recent decades. Nothing has come close in quality or ratings.
Apart from Forza 5. Talking about generally the Forza series has always been rated high. Perhaps Forza 5 was rushed for launch. Although made up again by Forza 6 and 7.
I liked the game well enough, it was a good starting point for the new gen and helped them build up to what motorsport 7 is now, the controversies wasnt with the numbers of cars or tracks though, it was more to do with the pc footage being passed off as xbox one, the downgrade from what they originally had shown caused more upset than the numbers.
Carlos writes - "It’s time to tweak that tuning setup, perfect those visuals and strap in to that harness before heading down to the track, as Forza Motorsport 5 is calling for all players with a free download now available thanks to Games With Gold!"
James writes - "So here we are with a new month about to begin, and we all know by now that means a number of new games are about to be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for September2017. The free games of last month were passable if truth be told, but can September’s offerings make it a month to remember, or one to skip over?"
Well...lets see. So FM5 is 2013's Racer of the Year, while Oxenfree was nominated and won all types of awards as an indie game in 2016. On the BC side, both games are classics.
I got disagrees for pointing the same thing out the psn games coming. I doubt some people actually enjoy games that visit this site.
I swear some people just go into topics and hit disagree on every post for no reason.
Of course they are. The competition between PS Plus and GwG is getting good now, expect more great months on both sides

"The result is a gameplay experience that is centred around the precarious balance of a car being driven at the very limit of its capabilities. The optional assists will soften the difficulty to varying degrees, but if you don't like the idea of wrestling with a car that's constantly on the ragged edge of control, this game is not for you. Yes, even though it looks this good, you won't have fun for very long if you don't enjoy transferring weight appropriately from one wheel to another.
Perhaps in acknowledgement of the frustrating nature of the hyper-realistic simulation,"
Now they don't like it because its handling is more realistic? Well i am happy that the realism has drastically improved. Shame that the content has been reduced.
I like the guys at CVG. Interesting, i think their main issues are mainly with the lack of content. Which is fair i guess, but still the game looks good and plays good.
$50 season pass is where the content is.
RACING SIMULATION IS NOT FOR EVERYONE
BUY
NFS RIVALS.
I wonder how GT6 will compare against this one
