GameOver writes: "While I've played sim racers since the first Gran Turismo, the genre never really hooked me until Forza 1 on the original Xbox. Unlike GT, it wasn't just a showroom for beautiful-looking car models, but was also an exciting racing game. With its aggressive AI, in-depth tuning system, innovative driving lines that have since become standard, and amazing car decal creator that still hasn't been equaled except for entries of this series, where it's been surpassed, everything about it was top-shelf and it was a gaming mainstay for me until I got the second installment which improved upon the first in every way - but not quite as much as I was hoping for. It reminded me a lot of PGR 3 in that it was an excellent game, but fell a bit short as the first next-gen entry in the series."
