![]() One of the areas this series takes a small step back from Horizon in my opinion, is that the track is wound near but not in the unique locals. The tracks are fantastically varied, as are the cars you will drive on them with. I started off as I have for years now, walking through the tutorial (which sees you racing a traditional fair weather track in a sports car, throgh to one of the aforementioned trucks to a race that shows off the fantastic weather engine as you race in a rain storm) before launching into the proper career mode where you pick a circuit and an entry level car and get to the racing. Whether you are driving hatchbacks, muscle cars found in the popular Fast and the Furious movies or even large trucks (weird, but a nice bit of gameplay variety), Forza Motorsport 7 gives you a great deal to do. The foundations of the Motorsport series is largely the same as prior entries as you are given multiplayer and single player modes that have you visiting some pretty varied locations and racing in lots of different cars comprised from the fantastic catalogue of options. With all of that out of the way, let’s take a deeper look into what Forza Motorsport 7 has to offer. It simply is not as good, but by prefacing this review with my own preferences, it hopefully frames my mindset a bit when I say that Forza Motorsport 7 is a fantastic game in its own right, even if I don’t quite have as much fun with it as I did Forza Horizon 3. That does not mean that the Motorsport series is bad, because it is not. Now, I feel compelled to compare these two games because while they both own the Forza namesake and both are about racing, the fact of the matter is that Horizon has more soul to it, and is simply a better series. Whether it’s the sense of actually travelling and seeing new locations up close and personal, or the soundtrack that provides a thumping background to the jumps and other antics found in the game, Horizon has a sense of wonder and discovery not usually found in racing games, and that helps make the Horizon series my favourite in the racing genre. That last sentence is an important one, because while I really do enjoy both of the racing series a great deal there is a X factor about the Horizon series that sets itself apart from the Motorsport one.

It will certainly appeal to those who enjoy structured racing, with its many tracks and tight gameplay. ![]() ![]() To its credit, Forza Motorsport 7 is an incredibly polished racing game – a technical marvel to look at and listen to, with an incredible amount of stuff in there for fans of racing games to enjoy. ![]()
