Forza Motorsport Xbox

Forza Motorsport has over 200 cars, so plenty to choose from in Forza Motorsport, all rendered with no expense spared to look as near to the real thing as possible. The game features some of the more prestigious marques that have yet to appear in other 'Real Driving Simulators', like Ferraris, and some that hadn't until recently, like Porsches. Cars come from all three major car producing continents: A mostly Italian and German selection from Europe, everything from AE86 Truenos to Evo VIIIs and of course a selection of Nissans from Asia, and Corvettes and other exotica from the US. As far as tracks go there are 17 near photo realistic offering both on track and street, from Laguna Seca to Manhattan. Predictably the cars can be modified in all sorts of ways, from more cosmetic stuff like paint, skirts and decals, to the technical stuff like suspension, turbos and wings. The real trump card over GT4 though, is the online side of things. You can join car clubs online and swap cars you've designed, download new tracks and cars, and of course race. Interestingly, your online and offline career become one as your performance against people on the web affects your single player progression. There's also what is called 'Drivatar' tecnology whereby you can train the computer to drive like you and race for or against you. XBOX owners jealous of the PS2 scene finally have the game they've been waiting for.
