the review of this on the national broadcaster's gaming tv show was pretty positive - really only missing 'proper' damage, they said. (i don't really care that there's not much settings-tweaking.)

drive around, race, buy cars, repeat. what the fuck do you want?
yup, also i spent like $150k upgrading that janky little 60s abarth so it's like r2 class. tops out at 130mph or so but it's really fun to drive.
multiplayer works really well in this game too

rly? haven't even tried. mp on the last forza i had (w/e that one was...) was fucking awful and somehow got way more aggro than modern warfare

i am still enjoying this game.
my recommendations for maximum fun are: to not fuck with the auto-tune-up feature, but figure out how to do it yourself (not that hard really), do the "rivals" bit after each race, which is more of a skill challenge thing and squeezes a little more life out of each car/track
i really wish games like this had a "call race" feature -- the fun of the 1p game is all the permutations & restrictions. why not allow the player to set those (country, drive type, class, track, etc) and the AI puts in a field that fits? couldn't be that hard to do.

i am playing forza 4. it's ok. man, i was INto this shit 4 years ago.
it's an odd mish-mash of the highly technical (tuning options that you basically need an 2nd party app/spreadsheet to use capably) and the panderingly arcadey (each race is like 2 laps and there's no place qualifying lap). so you spend 45 mins setting up your expensive precision machine and then it's 6mins of bumper cars against the AI.
the 'career mode' just puts the events in some kind of order with some interstitial world map graphics and a plummy british announcer saying what you're doing.
i haven't done any online racing yet but i have noticed several anime-chick themed paintjobs for sale in the marketplace
oh and if you want to hear a different british guy wax on about cars or about how liberals and environmentalists are ruining the good things in life, jeremy clarkson is in it too.
B+

my "call race" idea from november 30, 2012 is still good >:|

As soon as it's the free game on Gold I'll be there.

i recommend getting a tuning app. no kidding.

I played a lot of Forza 4 this past week. 80-odd race wins and it tells me I've completed less than 3% of career mode o_O
Fuck Jeremy Clarkson and fuck knocking over skittles on the Top Gear track.

gave manual w/clutch a good try last night. real heads say it's "god mode" etc, and you don't need to bother upgrading your drivetrain (aside from diff) if you're good at it. i did not go well, especially on braking.

i found this while digging thru reddit on drivetrain upgrades
