Re: Talking Point: Is Forza The Best Racing Franchise Of All Time?

I don't know for certain how good Forza is. They certainly make a lot of them, but are they really all worth playing? Sometimes it feels more like a sports title to me.

Meanwhile, you have series like Wipeout or Mario Kart that have quite a few completely original games in them that don't simply overwrite (or attempt to overwrite) what was done before. I do think Forza probably has some of the best traditional racers in there somewhere, but so does Need for Speed and one-offs like Driveclub or Quantum Redshift. So, while I'm sure Forza as a series easily beats out Gran Turismo or The Crew or games like that, I don't think it's as good as the best in the genre when taking the whole series into account.

My personal choice is honestly Mario Kart, but Wipeout has slightly higher highs and lower lows, so is a great runner-up. Honorable mention to Driveclub and F-Zero X.
