Did anyone even play that?

Yes, for 12 minutes and 7 seconds.

Yes, for 12 minutes and 7 seconds.

I'm surprised you even lasted that long!

Could not find the exit button... Was uninstalled faster then a lightning strike though.

It came so far that I didn't even bother to install and try it lol

Me when Forza Street is mentioned:

Honestly though, it was a pretty poor and old game before it was even rebranded as a Forza game, but somehow clung on for another three years despite an almost total lack of promotion. I remember at the time MS almost seemed embarrassed to mention it, and then a year passed before it arrived on mobile.

Interesting that this should come the same week as Midnight Club is being floated for a possible mobile relaunch under Zynga...

Me when Forza Street is mentioned:

I didn't remember this was even a thing before I came across the article so I actually went "Wait, there was a Forza Mobile game?". Sounds like one of the laziest cash grabs I've seen in quite some time from what you are describing.

As big a Forza fanboy as I am, I downloaded it to my iPad as soon as it released. I uninstalled it a week later. It wasn't awful. It was just boring.

I had a lot fun with it without spending any money. It could be really addictive to master the runs and beat stronger opponents.

 

[SportCoaster]

At least there is some good news to combat the bad news that all online features in Forza Motorsport 5 are now officially broken like Forza Horizon 2's.

 

[GBalao888]

Well, Forza Street won't be missed. I was almost interested in it, until I wasn't.

lol didn't even know it existed

iOS racing games simply don't work out, period.
