Forza Motorsport is a car racing game developed by Turn 10 for Microsoft Game Studios. The game was launched in May 2005, became an instant hit worldwide and received rave reviews for its realistic game play. The game has been developed for the Xbox platform and has an “E” rating, which makes it suitable for players of all ages.
Forza Motorsport is programmed to provide players with the most accurate game play for racing cars. You can race on tracks around the world or you can try street racing or “point to point” racing with real world circuits such as Nurburgring, Silverstone, Tsukuba Road, Atlanta and Laguna Seca. There are other tracks to choose from such as dirt tracks, autocross tracks and drag racing strips.
The playable cars in Forza Motorsport are divided into six categories with four sub categories in each category. Players can customize their cars with the prize money from every race they win. There are nearly 230 cars from 60 manufacturers. Players who have their Xbox hardware connected to the Internet can place their winning statistics on the leader board on the Internet site for Forza Motorsport.
Forza Motorsport features an interactive trainer called the “suggested line” as an option for beginners while learning the game. The suggested line appears on the display of the player’s screen, and provides input on the speed, the braking input required, the turning radius, the acceleration and other such driving advice. The suggested line is an interactive dynamic tool that helps players become familiar with Forza Motorsport’s game engine.
Forza Motorsport contains simulated car features such as ABS (Automatic Braking System), which ensures there is no wheel lock during high speed braking. This is an option which can be turned off or on. Beginners can select the option of “stability assist” which ensures that if the car begins a skid or the wheels lose traction, then the game engine will cut power to the wheels in order to bring the vehicle back on course.
Players need to create profiles when they start playing Forza Motorsport. The player’s chosen home base can be North America, Asia or Europe. Depending on their choice of home, players have the option of buying cars. The advantage of choosing a home base is that the region’s cars are available for a cheaper price in comparison to cars manufactured in another home base.
Forza Motorsport’s interactive game engine also matches the integrity of the player. For example, if a player drives rashly and keeps banging into other cars, then the game engine will have computer controlled cars interacting with the player’s car in a similar manner.
Gamers can race their way to entertainment on major international circuits with Forza Motorsport! The game has been a huge critical and commercial success selling over a million copies worldwide.
