Forza Motorsport
Forza Motorsport est un jeu de course, de simulation et de sport développé par Turn 10 Studios et édité par Microsoft Game Studios. Il est sorti le 3 mai 2005 sur Xbox et fonctionne sur le moteur ForzaTech.
Le titre se présente comme une simulation de course destinée aux joueurs passionnés d'automobile et de course. Il permet de posséder, de personnaliser et de piloter des voitures, en utilisant les gains de course pour acheter des améliorations et des pièces de rechange, afin de transformer des voitures de série en bolides performants. La simulation se veut technologiquement avancée et réaliste, avec des modèles de plus de soixante grands constructeurs automobiles. La personnalisation inclut des décalcomanies et des schémas de peinture, tandis que les réglages du véhicule influencent réellement les performances sur la piste. Le jeu propose également un mode en ligne via le Xbox Live pour affronter d'autres joueurs.
À sa sortie, Forza Motorsport a reçu un accueil critique favorable, avec un score de 84 sur Metacritic et OpenCritic, et une moyenne agrégée de 84,64. La presse a salué une simulation de course de classe mondiale, accueillante pour les pilotes de tous niveaux, et un jeu beau, brillant à jouer et plein de voitures à modifier. Certains joueurs ont estimé qu'il s'agissait d'un grand jeu sous-estimé, car simulateur et non arcade, tandis que d'autres ont regretté des manques pour être considéré comme un titre de simulation de haut niveau, notamment l'IA des pilotes et les pénalités.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Forza Motorsport is not only a world class racing sim, but it is a welcoming, encouraging experience for racers of all abilities. Its desire to help and improve racers is perhaps only surpassed by the technology the game is built on. Pure racing at its best. »
« It’s beautiful, brilliant to play and packed full of cars worth tinkering with. All in one easy-to-access package. This title tops the podium. »
« Where so many games make me feel like I’m left wanting, Forza Motorsport left me feeling excited for the future. Sure, they’ll continue to add cars, tracks and races to this existing title, but seeing where we are now compared to where I thought was the top was nearly a decade ago leaves me feeling hopeful that as technology continues to press forward, Forza Motorsport will always be right there pushing it. »
« Forza Motorsport is one of the best accessible surprises in 2023. Turn 10 Studios’ dedication to disabled players is tangible as soon as one starts the game. It’s beyond refreshing to finally have a racing title that physically disabled individuals can confidently purchase knowing they will be able to successfully complete every race. And as the industry continues to acquire new accessibility knowledge and improve upon itself, Forza Motorsport should be viewed as the beginning of a new accessibility era. »
« Forza Motorsport is back in the best possible way, thanks to a simply fabulous technical achievement, a rewarding and tremendously exciting driving model, and plenty of new features that manage to modernize the entire racing game genre; the RPG-like development system is superb, and the system that penalizes players who race unfairly in online competitions is excellent. Yet another love letter from Turn 10 to the world of racing, and it is bound to make you completely fall in love with it. »
« An excellent companion piece to the open-world, frantic off-road action of Forza Horizon, Forza Motorsport is the next generation of racing that I’ve been waiting so very long for. »
« Forza Motorsport really does create a platform that leaves an open track to expand on. This is the easiest Forza to get into and it performs at such a high level, you may forget it's just a game. There's nothing standing between you and the racetrack. »
« Turn 10 Studios puts the pedal fully to the metal to deliver the ultimate in refined driving with Forza Motorsport, a masterpiece of the genre that exudes speed and style. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Gran juego, infravalorado porque es un simulador y no un arcade hecho para niños »
« Honestly, the game is very good, but it's missing so many things to be considered a top sim racing title. The AI of the drivers is the worst, the penalties are even worse, and in online mode, some players are aggressive and not everyone takes it seriously. It would be best if they paid more attention to their community. »
« Forcing always online in 2026 is crazy. The game is only a shell of what it once was and the vehicles take ages to level up. You must level up every single car to unlock things. Save yourself some headaches please. »

« I did think it was possible for a company with this much experience in racing **** with bad games, could manage to creat a game FROM THE GROUND UP worse than FM5.....Bruh, the revival of the series? NO WAY NEAR CLOSE TO THE GOAT FM 2005. NOT. EVEN. 1% **** 4/10 is me being too generous »
« I didn't think it was possible to make a worse racing game. So few tracks available, a severe lack of identity, no music, no atmosphere, the menus are so “dry.” And the races clearly don't earn enough credits for Career mode. What's more, it's a very, very bad idea to have track trials and then let the player choose their starting position—it makes no sense. »
« Good graphics, that's pretty much it. Do you like a series? You have to grind like crazy unless your a freakin Australian Supercars fan. »
