GT Sport vs. Forza 7: Which One Should You Buy?
It’s here where everything starts to get a little bit more interesting. Up until now, both titles have been pretty evenly matched, but it’s here where you’ll likely determine what game to buy. While the gameplay experience in each title is a fairly standard affair for both series, both the amount of content and the overall focus for the experience couldn’t be farther apart.
Forza 7 keeps its content in-line with what we’ve seen from the Motorsport series before. You’ll take part in a number of single-player events to make your way through different Championships, unlocking cars and expanding your garage as you go. On top of that, you’ll also find a smooth and straightforward multiplayer mode for those seeking to play against real-life racers in a variety of different events and vehicles.
GT Sport, on the other hand, definitely focuses more on the multiplayer side of things. Though there’s a single-player campaign of sorts on offer here, it’s very rarely just straight up racing. A lot of these, instead, focus on improving you as a racer, having you master just one corner, or completing a lap alone. It’s reminiscent of the Licenses system from the older titles and while that’s sure to put a smile on some fans’ faces (current company included), it’s not a substantial enough replacement for the GT Mode of past titles. If you’re into online multiplayer racing action, then GT Sport is definitely still worth checking out, but if you’re looking to keep your races between you and the AI, you may come away disappointed.
On top of that, there’s also the small issue of just how many cars and tracks there are in each title. Forza 7’s roster comes in at over 700 cars and 30 famous destinations with 200 ribbons. Its vehicles range from the car you’ve got up your driveway to the finest exotic supercars money can buy. In comparison, GT Sport offers far less at launch. You’ll only have 162 cars to focus on and, as the name of the game suggests, they’re more focused on the sports and performance echelons, rather than the average Sedan you see every day. Its 40 tracks will keep you occupied for long enough, but it still lags behind Forza 7’s offering. As such, we put the Xbox One racer ahead when it comes to content.
