Motorfest feels like it has much more content compared to the other games, and the development team is very dedicated and proud to show off what they can do now, especially the fact they are showing off so much beta content and even allowing players to try it, and so far the reception is extremely positive.

Always felt each release of The Crew brings back some of the feeling— and eye candy, that has been omitted from racing games since the days of Midnight Club. Motorfest is no different

[francescofioroni]

One of the best thing about Motorfest is the immersion at night, especially when is raining and with the lightning bolt. Also the real time map is of the best map I've seen in games, especially at night with the lights of the island

Motorfest. Hawaii is a classic location (tdu) and always a great fit for racing. Density and quality is great in motorfest. The crew 2 was bland in a lot of areas with swaths of the map being wide open and boring.

The problem with horizon is that there’s nothing to target when racing anymore. If they had a competitive mode then I’d probably still be playing it. but I log on for about 20 minutes and then get bored again. where for some reason the crew manages to keep playing it for a considerable amount of time.

NFS Inbound gets a lot of hate, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's also good to hear that they improved the driving in The Crew Motorfest over the past games. I could never get into The Crew 1 & 2 because of the floaty handling. The new one is definitely on my radar and I'm really digging the Hawaii location too. Hopefully they release a demo

I randomly snagged NFS unbound on sale and loved it. played it for multiple days straight and really enjoined the money collecting system and satisfying races. wish it had more cars but loved the arcade style and customization

[WrenOC]

from a ps5 standpoint motor fest is far more immersive hands down.. they literally use every feature we have in our controller we feel every rock and every turn and every rev man it’s awesome.. i can’t say that for the other consoles cause their controllers lack adaptive triggers

[DUDIBombZ]

These my feeling to 3 games.
Motorfest - [flesh] - it's new experience from the other game. To me, the physics is very new thing that i never played before. It's kind of interesting. what The Crew 2 did. It's refined to more flashy. But, it a bit sad to me that the map is more smaller than previous game. i love drive around the map so much.
FH5 - [immersive] - very fun to play. It's way more realistic compare to the other. It's feel like when i want to compete with my friend. I will choose this game. Because we can use brain to calculate very single silder how one car that tune out to be the best that what i need. it very Immersive and feel real competitive.
Unbound - [joy] - multiplayer of this game is very enjoy to play. For me, this game make me be myself. The all time strong side of this game always is customization that unbeatable. Every inch on a car that can customize make style very unique. it make me want to join server and play along with other to show my car too. But, downside that very pity to me is horrible physics.

To be honest motorfest took everything the forza community has been asking for and implemented them in their own way, I was mind blown just being able to actually drive a bike lol, I think motorfest “playlists” which I was immersed so much I could tell they put a lot of work to them, they genuinely felt like a bunch of different storylines. Where as in Horzion it felt like I was just being told to race here and go here to race again when motorfest had a whole storylines in the playlists which is cool, personally motorfest I didn’t expect much but it was amazing!

[AppleMouth]

As a relative newbie to the genre and after playing all three of these and NFS Heat, I think The Crew Motorfest is by the far the most fun and well made of them all.

[Histraction.]

my take is probably:
If you want pure realism with quite a lot of customization almost like irl aftermarket you get Forza. If you want to become basically the overpowered main character you pick unbound. As for motorfest I haven’t seen much but from what I’m seeing it’s more of if you want a laid back experience to chill in

[xodiac-gg]

The fact that motorfest is able to already compete against these two especially forza only after a closed beta is pretty impressive

[pressrepeat]

Great review. Looking forward to playing Motorfest. I couldn’t get into Horizon 5 but loved Horizon 4. Wish they had playlists like Motorfest, I just ended up driving the same car all the time in Horizon.

[devynlich]

Now I'm just waiting to see how solar crown Stacks up to motorfest

[xXEGLEyEXx]

Honestly I am happy we have so many choices in this genre now. We can pick any of the three or all three... fun is pretty much there in all of them.

[jpegfan]

i think i prefer motorfest because of the fact that its arcadey and beacuse of the diversity in vehicles, and also in unbound that miata sounds like a racecar lol

[rednaxela]

I want Motorfest's diversity, Forza's realism and Need for speed's structure

[Rhadoo]

After playing all 3, The Crew Motorfest is definitely the most fun for me. Forza Horizon 5 is, as you said, a very realistic game, and fails to be as entertaining as The Crew Motorfest.

Also, the steering wheel support in Motorfest is the best out of the 3 games. You feel permanently connected to the car, whereas in Forza, cars lose grip quite fast, and once that happens, the connection and force feedback are mostly gone.
