A little disappointed with the Lego expansion. Haven't really played it in months, I'll give this a go when it's out but can't see it being my cup of tea.

I was hoping for another round of hot wheels, shame.

That said, i'm sure this one will be a laugh... the devs have been pretty good throughout FH's life.

Really hope the Lego cars don't show up on the main map, that will just look stupid.

At E3 they just announced the next expansion - Lego.

I am not impressed.
I am already at that stage, I was hoping the second expansion would drag me back into the game.

Nope, I am out completely now. Bit miffed as I bought the Ultimate Edition too, I only have myself to blame for that.

So you're not even going to play it to see if you enjoy it or not?

I've only got a few more solo achievements to get (unfortunately the last one will be completing skill streak which I really haven't enjoyed) and then I'm not sure how much I'll play but I'll definitely be completing the lego stuff

I'm not planning on it, but never say never I guess. I appreciate Horizon has always been the arcade racer of the Forza franchise, but this just isn't for me.

Not played for a good while, since before the photo mode update in fact! Improvements there are great!

Meanwhile I think my son would love that Lego add-on so I'm actually tempted to buy Forza 4 solely for that.

Wait to see how big it is first. The first expansion was fun but only had a handful of hours of original play in it.

Not the first Forza where I've been glad that I only paid for the basic version.

There's an E3 livestream going on that's just had some interviews with the developers. Going by the models on their desks there, Lego cars could be a classic Ferrari (maybe a 250 GTO), a modern Camaro (maybe a NASCAR), and a classic Mustang. Instead of the cars getting dented and bent when they get damage, Lego cars have some of the bricks falling off hehe .

Well I've just had a fiddle with the Lego thing.

It's definitely a work of art and has some imaginative road design. You can drive conventional cars in it.

So far I would've preferred something real world ish but I haven't started crying yet.

Do you get Lego cars showing up on the regular map?

Yes. There's only four cars in total.

Played for 3 hours last night in the new Lego world, lots of content, amazing work by the design team, great little Lego easter eggs from past games and awesome attention to detail

If you have enjoyed the rest of the game, especially fortune island then I can't see how you wouldn't enjoy it

Lots of the challenges are things like 'get 20 trading paint skills in 2 minutes' or 'get a hypercar over 210mph' (not actually that easy with the size of the roads) as well as the normal speed zones, races, bonus boards etc

Will see if there's enough content to keep me busy after a weekend of playing it but I can see there being 25 hours to complete absolutely everything and that's if you've already got all the cars you need to complete the challenges.

The boy thinks it’s brilliant.
I’m quite smitten. There’s been some serious attention to detail.

I've not seen my kids this excited about a game in ages, they love the Lego expansion.

For me, it's just good fun, something different, but it's the attention to detail that makes it brilliant. It's not a quick rehash, and the cars they've chosen are great. It has a sense of humour, some will argue that it should be in it's own game (and possibly, yes as the scope of that would be immense) but I like it. It has me playing FH4 again which is no bad thing.

I'll stick this on tonight and see what it's like.

Can't say I'm overly excited, but bought the Ultimate edition, so may as well get my monies!

I think I've only another 500k to get Edinburgh Castle too. Easily make that in Wheelspins having not played in a month or so. Every time I log in now I get around 3mil hehe

Unless you have credits pouring out of your botty the castle is a complete and utter waste. There'll be tons of Alfas in the auction house for less money and wheelspins are everywhere these days.
