At the 2004 Electronic Entertainment
Expo, Microsoft Game Studios proudly rolled Forza Motorsport out of the garage
to much fanfare and critical acclaim. In recognition and anticipation of the
first fully-customizable driving simulator for Xbox®, Forza Motorsport was
nominated for the Game Critics Award for “Best Racing Game”
at E3, which will be awarded on Tuesday, June 8, 2004.
Slated to hit stores this holiday season, Forza Motorsport will offer Xbox
gamers and car enthusiasts the opportunity to own, customize, upgrade and race
their favorite cars in the most realistic driving simulator on Xbox.
Racers will be challenged to accumulate earnings to tune-up their rides with
upgrades like engine swaps, bolt-on superchargers and suspension kits. Gamers
can also “trick-out” their creations with sleek, new paint schemes and
upgradeable parts including body kits, rims, spoilers, decals, side skirts,
fender flares, hood scoops and decals from over 150 aftermarket motorsport
partners. Gear heads will love the process of
creating their very own
high-performance racing machines by transforming one of hundreds of different
models from 60 of the world’s top car manufacturers including Ferrari, Porsche,
Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chevrolet, BMW, Mazda and Dodge. Forza Motorsport
will supply the canvas and tools for a tuner artist’s racing masterpiece.
True passion for cars and racing transcends more than mere competition - it’s
about learning every car’s strengths and weaknesses, discussing driving
techniques with friends and sharing your best work in the garage with the world.
With full Xbox Live™ compatibility and innovative new ways to compete and
communicate online, Forza Motorsport gives gamers the ability to flex the
muscles of their custom
performance-tuned creations against the best the online
world has to offer.
