Forza Motorsport 4 Impressions From the OS Community

[Hooe]

Finished my first race. With regard to controls, this game's like an old friend; perfectly familiar with it. It's a gorgeous game, as well.

I've been trying out some super cars on the Top Gear test track a lot lately. Been using the Nissan GT-R, Lexus LF-A, and the 458 Italia...

The Hammerhead corner is freaking hard. Even I put the braking line on, I still brake too late lol.

It is A-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!

The cars look fantastic, the framerate is smooth, the ai is improved, all positive for turn 10. They have made a great sim racing game.
IMO it's better than NFS Shift 2 and GT5.

This is something that GT does superbly well but it has nothing to do with racing lol absolutely nothin BUTi kinda would have liked the tunes to have been custom. I never actually tinkered wih getting music the xbox an having it play during me gaming so i wonder if is possible? And lastly. Why aren't there more people with this game. games like Nascar etc come out and they flock to those ut a true racing game comes out and it's kinda quiet? Unless everybodys just playing so in that case Im off to play too.........

Just hit the guide button and move over a tab. You can play whatever music is on your hard drive.

I'm not sure what to do with this game. I'm still finishing Dirt 3 and will be getting NFS next month so don't really feel like I need it. Rented Forza 3 a few times and enjoyed it but not seeing why I'd play this over the other racing games I've got/will get.

I'm really starting to get addicted to Rivals Mode.. you get so much cash and it feels good to beat other peoples times, especially when they're your friends.

Huh? dude get this game.. I was Meh I mean vey "meh" about Forza 3 myself. NOT with Forza 4 no way...

Oh and thanks for the tip

Dirt 3 is a VERY good racing game as well it just didn't have enough "rally racing" for me

I played this a little tonight with my 15 year old son. I watched him mess around in autovista, and the different game modes. I'm a big fan of racing games and have played many as a 37 year old.

I'm gonna say this is the best racing game I've played!

From graphics, presentation, and audio, to gameplay/feel/physics, and game modes Forza 4 easily claims the racing throne. Menu navigation is easy and intuitive, and I love the guy's voice from Top Gear. We were playing on the 55-in HD TV and it was gorgeous! It shows that the developers are total car enthusiasts. I am extremely impressed with the overall product.

I can tell my son and I are going to enjoy many, many hours playing this and talking cars! How frickin' cool is that?!
