Computer and Video Games is the latest website to offer a preview of Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox racing title Forza Motorsport. The game is expected to be release this spring (reports are pointing at an April release date). The game will feature over 230 cars and will be Xbox Live enabled.

Here’s a preview of the C&VG article:

In a lot of ways Forza could do everything GT4 has failed to do - allow you the freedom to fully customise your cars (both technically and visually), include meaningful visual and performance damage, pit you against believable computer AI and establish an online gaming community for hardcore driving game fans. If it could do all of these things and still nail the basics, Forza really could be the GT-killer everyone has been labelling it.

I am really looking forward to this title. The Xbox deserves its Gran Turismo type racer, as Project Gotham Racing never truly was the GT killer it was supposed to be.
