Forza 6 Gets Mostly Good Reviews
The review embargo for Forza 6 was lifted today and just about every video game website that posts reviews published a Forza review. Most were kind, a few were glowing.
DigitalSpy raised up a 5 out of 5 and added, “This is one of the best driving simulations out there: it’s the game launch title Forza 5 really should have been. We’re a bit spoiled for choice in great driving games this console generation, and Forza 6 screeches in and finds itself a place at the head of the table with consummate ease.”
Arthur Gies of Polygon awarded Forza 6 an 8 out of 10 and said, “Forza Motorsport 6 sometimes feels like a little less than the sum of many much improved parts, and there are certain quality-of-life changes that feel increasingly overdue. But these are only distractions, bumps in the road that make Forza feel ‘just’ great when looked at from a distance.”
Jalopnik’s Matt Hardigree did not give the game a score but recommended it. “I’m only a few hours into the game so it’s probably too early to tell, but for now it’s worth going back to. I want to race old Trans-Am Mustangs and Camaros. I still want to hear the ferocious high pitched wail of a flat-12 NART Ferrari 512 BB.”
The only review that raised negative points against the game came from GamesRadar. Justin Towell said, “This is a true showcase for Xbox One in every area except the racing. Inconsistent difficulty, random payouts, and way too many dull events seriously spoil the party.”
