Race The Stig in Forza Motorsport 5

by on October 12, 2013
 

Forza 5 will include a ‘digital cousin’ of Top Gear’s famously brilliant racing driver, The Stig.

Why a digital cousin? Well, that explains why you might be able to beat him. You couldn’t beat the real Stig, so Top Gear have found a slightly not-s-good version of the white helmet for players to race against.

Top Gear will be represented in Forza Motorsport 5 in numerous ways. Players will be able to race the Top Gear test track for one – every corner from Hammerhead to Gambon meticulously recreated with unprecedented accuracy.

Secondly, an all-new Career Mode will feature events and opponents that are true to each car’s automotive heritage with Jeremy, James, and Richard on hand to provide their unique perspective on the vehicles through voiceovers.

Forza 5 is even more ‘Top Gear The Game’ than ever before. Is that a good thing? Well, that depends if you still find Stig jokes funny. I do not.

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
