Forza Motorsport (Xbox, 2005)

I'm baffled by its popularity. Simply put, This game is clunky and unplayable. My brother-in-law recently purchased an Xbox bundle with Forza in it. After seeing the reviews, I was stoked to try it. Well when I played this thing, I had to pause and check the box cover numerous times to be sure I'm playing the right game. I thought "This is the game that got a 9.9 from EGM?!". And to top it off, I rented a copy of Forza so we could system link it.

Needless to say, we didn't get that far after trying it out first on the one box. Sim or not, this game is unforgiving and down right frustrating. And I'm not saying it's too "Challenging", I'm talking not being able to take a simple turn at 30-40mph. Every race you'll find yourself sliding into the walls wondering what the heck just happened (but you'll come to notice that your AI opponents have no problem at all). This is the first time I completely disagree with EGM and their reviews. Want a good racer, get Burnout Revenge. Stay away from this nightmare.
