It was no 6 out of 10 game either, even at launch. It was especially disconcerting considering Eurogamer gave The Crew, a far more shallow and repetitive game, an 8 out of 10, and the reviewer'sd intentions were dubious even moreso because he was from Outside Xbox.

Like 30% of Driveclub's reviews were a 6 or lower......that's not exaclty a few biased journalists trying to tank a game

I didn't say they were the only one, just the one that came to my mind first. There are plentyu of critic who have a hard on for how Forza games approach simulation and can't accept a different kind of approach towards the genre.

However Eurogamer's was a more obvious one because the reason they had for giving the game a lower score was that it wasn't open world right after Forza Horizon 2 had released, and that it was more subtle and subdued than the latter. That is a different approach to gameplay, and for my money, suits Driveclub far more. Not saying Forza Horizon 2 is better or worse, but these two games can't be critiqued through direct comparisons and the background of the reviewer makes it even more suspicious.
