2004 Peugeot 206 RC
1998 Nissan R390 (free car)

M135i could be fun

Looks like they have realised that they're struggling and have stepped it up a notch. I would buy it but I know I'll be bored within an hour

They should've done it for Forza 4, they'd make more money.

I actually found this game more interesting than anything I've played recently (Hitman Absolution, Mass Effect 3 and Metal Gear Rising Demo).

I've finished all the races, street races and outpost challenges. At one point I did get a little bored, but I'm not sure how they can improve the game really.

I just don't think I like gaming as much as I used to :/

That was the problem - it was a game which had an end. With Forza 4 it's fun to dip back into it every so often and try and avoid being smacked off the track at turn 1...

Maybe I should finally get Forza 4

The problem is my 2006 manufactured Xbox is fairly (actually extremely) ropey and temperamental...

Well said Josh.

It's pretty much the same engine - if it didn't fall over for Horizon you should be OK.

Looks a decent pack, but that DLC is so overpriced it's ridiculous

Rented the game for 5 days. The engine is a bit toned down compared to 4, a bit more arcadey feel, it has the best bits of test drive unlimited about it, but some of the worst aspects of dirt 2/3.

I seriously dont know anyonw above 9 who would find any of the stuff in the cutscenes or ANY of the spoken stuff cool. Seriously, i've cringed so hard i want to wipe america off the face of the earth.

Some of my favourite cars in there so looking forward to it, but I agree that the pack should be launched for FM4 as well. Also on that video why do they show the person getting in and out of the RS4, you can't do that on the actual game so why show it?

They are already there I think.

I added the new March pack into the Garage last night. All cars are fully upgraded.

Have another........

[PistonSmegs]

Thanks?
By garage I meant the PH club garage within the game.

Bought this last night in the 70% BB sale, played for an hour so far so only first impressions, but not great. was expecting forza handleing but so far feels more NFS. Scenery is nice but the roads dont feel real enough to me.

will keep at it though

[Chris77]

Right put a few more hours in now.

There seems to be no real penalty for going off road/courner cutting. when I was in a race in the evo10 with full race suspenssion I cut a courner (just the inside 2 wheels) I was ready for some feed back through the controler or the bump to throw the car off slightly, but no nothing!

Some races it feels like I never have to brake!

Traffic cars are unrealistic

This game should be awesome but its just not

Wait until you realise the 'rubber band' racing.
Spin?, don't worry, all the other cars will spend the next 2 miles doing 1 mph until you catch them again. Utter toss.
Yet I'm playing forza 4 alot again

The traffic pisses me right off. You can be having a bit of a hoon, but trying to be "realistic" and you get caught behind a car, which just stops at random, moves out, drives all over the place. Annoying.

If you press "select", you will throw a can of red bull at the offending traffic. Possibly.
