![]() ![]() Whether you’re a newbie to the franchise or a veteran, you start with off slow and can make the game more difficult depending on your preference. It’s a fairly easy game to get involved in, with varying levels of player capability catered for well. It’s quite cool as not only does it look amazing having thunderous weather roll in, it also creates a strategic challenge for players to deal with by forcing them to change their driving style to suit the incoming wet weather. While previous games did feature different weather types, in FM7 the weather can change in-game, on the fly. One of the most visually pleasing new features of FM7 is the advent of dynamic weather. A few new racetracks (whether real or fictional) make their debut, while old favourites return as well. There’s more than 30 tracks on offer too, which is good to see. Keen Forza diehards will notice the cover car of the game, the Porsche GT2 RS, signifies that the German manufacturer’s cars are now available as standard, rather than only available via expansion packs as previously.Ĭonversely, the series has also said goodbye to Toyota for the time being – we hope to see it back in Forza Motorsport 8, however.ĭespite there being more than 700 cars on offer, a lot of content is recycled from previous games like the fact that there’s the same Nissan GT-R Black edition from 2013 that’s been in the past five games, rather than an all-new model from the game launch year. ![]() Speaking of the cars, FM7 features more cars than any previous title and almost double that of Forza Motorsport 6, its predecessor. It’s a theme that continues into content side of things too, as with Forza Motorsport 7 you now must unlock a lot more content like cars and races rather than going gangbusters from the get-go. The campaign itself is fairly regimented compared to previous titles, with players forced to compete in successive championships before you progress to the next one. The breadth of variety on offer expands on previous titles too, with an overhauled campaign mode that takes pride of place, but additionally there are a number of spin-off events that you can participate in too. The whooshing of turbos is now more pronounced, the snap of a straight-cut gear swap is well-represented and the sound signature of each car is invariably unique. It all feels very lifelike, and the game developers have done their best to recreate the various sounds involved in motorsport. One area that’s seen a definite improvement is the quality of sound modelling. Some of the detail isn’t quite up to the same standard as other, newer racing games, but for a two-and-a-bit year old game it still punches above its weight.
