![]() For newcomers like myself, this process proved a bit intimidating. ![]() When I went into the interface to buy a car, there was little help on which car would qualify or why it would be best suited to this league. For example, I jumped into a "B" class league, where I saw a notification that I could afford a car that would qualify. While there were plenty of options to choose from, however, I don't think the game did a good enough job in explaining which cars best qualified for which league. While I wasn't able to take my starter car into every league, I quickly amassed enough credits to purchase cars eligible for different leagues. The Career is structured with numerous leagues, each taking a different class of car. In fact, I found myself gravitating back towards the career, as it proved to be faster than waiting for multiplayer's long setups and lengthy intermissions. Through Drivatars, I always felt like I was in the middle of a multiplayer session, finding no real difference between driving against real humans in Multiplayer. They can be overly aggressive, which seems like an accurate portrayal of how other players approach the game. Drivatar racers prove to be every bit as ruthless as humans, recklessly plowing into you and trying to spin you out. Think you're on the right path by following the helpful guideline laid out on the track? Get ready to fight other drivers for that space. Think you can take the inside track and pass opponents on a long turn? Chances are someone else has had the same idea and it will show up in their Drivatars. Of course, what the Drivatar truly adds to the racing experience is that you can no longer predict exactly what your opponent will do. For example, certain drivers would overshoot turns and make mistakes in calculating corners. Though I was initially skeptical, I found some distinctly "human" behaviors throughout my time with Forza. ![]() Turn 10 proudly boasts that there are no AI racers-only opponents that adopt a player's driving style and habits across tracks they've participated in. I'm not a car junkie by any means, but the attention to detail and the Top Gear narration made it hard not to become one.īeyond shiny next-gen graphics, perhaps the greatest addition to Forza 5 is the new cloud-based Drivatar system. Developer Turn 10's Xbox One launch title comes across as a true passion project, seamlessly combining many of the racing genre's best qualities.įirst impressions are everything, and Forza 5 wastes no time in dazzling with its crisp, luminescent visuals. You never forget the first time you rev your new ride's engine and, likewise, I won't forget the first time I took control of my first car in Forza Motorsport 5. There's no sensation quite like stepping behind the wheel of a new car for the first time.
