KEY POINTS:
Pros: The Xbox 360's graphics grunt makes a noticeable difference when it comes to scenery and the appearance of the more than 300 cars that are on offer. The car damage is realistic as well. The car physics vary among the vehicles, giving a Ford Mustang a very different feel to a high-performance McLaren. Good skill progression allows you to ease into things in an engaging way and the online multiplayer element is very impressive, extending the game well beyond the artificial intelligence of human versus computer racing.
Cons: Although there are 12 well-designed tracks, more variety is in order. The musical soundtrack also beings to wear thin.
Verdict: Forza racing comes to the Xbox 360 and sets a new benchmark for racing simulators. There are improvements across the board but not at the expense of game play. The developers have managed to keep casual gamers as well as hardcore fans happy.
