ume you have 6 different classes of car to choose from to progress; you can play the same group 3 times to advance if you have a favourite car, but where’s the fun in that? If you need a break from progressing through the championships, there’s also a host of ‘showcase’ events, separate to career mode, which pit you against certain challenges in a host of car classes, allowing you to experience the broader story of motorsport. Expect to hear from a host of motoring and motorsport personalities as well, providing you with information and guidance with tackling the world’s best. As you earn cash and xp, you build reputation, and each level gives you a wheel spin gift, similar to the levelling system in Horizon 2. Another new addition to help you on the way are ‘mods’. Either won or purchased, mods give you certain one off or permanent boosts; either cash bonuses, xp boosts, or handling and braking upgrades. You can equip up to 3, and whilst it can made the game seem a little less realistic, it doesn’t force you to use them. They’re just a helping hand if you want it. Coupled with the massive amount of options you can select and adjust, Forza 6 helps cater for any level of racer. Drivatars are also back, though this time they’ve been to racing school. You can turn off Drivatars to face a more balanced competition, or you can adjust whether or not the Drivatars act aggressively. But be awake if you do let them; they aren’t afraid to weave, block and dive bomb you in order to get ahead. They will happily wipe the smile off your faceeven if it means wiping the front of their car off in the process. They’re human in a sense; they make mistakes, they out brake themselves, they run off track. It adds a new and challenging dimension to the game, and when you have 23 other cars on track battling for your position, coupled with the day/night cycles, with the threat of rain, it all comes together to bring a experience that blows you away. I see a lot of comparison between GT4 and FM6. Both featured the Ford GT as their poster boy, albeit in different guises. Both represented a huge step forward for not just their series, but the genre in general. And I haven’t been this excited and keen on a racing game since GT4. I think I’ve finally found my replacement. Forza is happily celebrating 10 years of producing top shelf content, and it’s a ride they’re only too happy to take you along on. If you’ve played previous Forza titles, it not only rewards you for it, but thanks you being a part of their 10 year journey. And yes, it’s a game. But it’s a thank you that feels quite genuine. It’s not just a 10th anniversary launch, and it isn’t just another title in the series. This is the new benchmark. And as much as I like Gran Turismo, Forza has raised the bar yet again. After all, releasing a game on your 10th anniversary is always a good start…thanks for the 10 years Forza. And here’s to another 10 more.
