So the lowest scoring Forza title yet, interesting. I honestly thought it would have been higher..


YOu didn't factor in the Next Gen Tax. All games must be the second coming of christ and be able to bare the full weight of a console's price in order to get anything above a 8.5

I like how Eurogamer criticise the lack of content but yet they gave prologue a higher score which pretty much had 30 cars at release and about 8 tracks....



Well if reviews for it continue like this then that about settles it. NSMB U wins best next gen launch title, unless Ryse defies all odds.

I think when most people predicted meta scores it was before they knew about it having less tracks and cars.  After they announced that I think everybody will be happy that the game is still being reviewed well and it shows how great the game still is even though it lacks content :)  



Seems the "bad" scores are penalizing it heavily for lack of tracks and the career mode. I understand the tracks, I don't understand the career mode penalties. Just different strokes for different folks. I am fine with everything being open. Also weird to see people complaining about needing to grind in the game. That is a staple of this genre.

I already decided I would buy used based off their DLC shenanigans, so I am glad to see them being criticized for lack of content.

What prologue? If you mean GT, obviously standards in the industry have changed since then, GT5 got pretty mixed reviews.



I wonder will Forza 5's metacritic score be lower than the ps3's Gran Turismo 6 coming in soon, I know it's a generation behind but that game is meant to be chock full of content.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

if it gets another sub 75 it'll drop to 82.



you know the review-system is broken when Eurogamer gives it a 7/10 and Eurogamer Italy gives it a 9/10



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I'm sure it's a great racing game, but the laughable amount of tracks and cars should be and actually is being punished by reviewers, imo.

Yea 200 cars is not really acceptable (coming from 400+ in Forza 4?), but 14 tracks is completely unacceptable, i think the game should be absolutely slammed for it also.
