| On Pro, the extra Physics makes it so much fun, assist-less of course. Be aware that despite what Turn 10 say, the AI racing you does turn into you to take an apex. Avoid where you can, damage costs money to repair in the event scenario. 2 cars in the auction house! Dunno if people will bother as you can share cars... we shall see You get achievo's chucked left right and centre at you. I got one for just driving an Impreza. One for hitting a few apex's, one for clean passing. Ahhhhh, sorry bout that Linz - I wasn't meaning it like that HFAM! |

| If you play this right, I reckon you could milk rivals mode between friends. If you beat a vastly quicker time the bounty is like 150,000! 50k for a lap around Top Gear is easy pickings. Awesome fun tooski. I forecast that Linz is gonna love this mode. |

| Have to say tuning/upgrades/styling is a low point. The aftermarket wheel choices are identical to Forza III from what I can see! WTF! Even the aero so far is the same, jeez - what do we wait 2 years for? Is that gonna be DLC as well Turn 10? They are following in Sony's footsteps, not big or clever! No wonder they didn't show any vids of this stuff, there would have been an uproar. This is what fekks me off about games reviewers, just suck up to Turn 10 in cloud cuckoo land and not say anything that may ruffle their feathers. Not impressed so far to only have the same options as 2 years ago! Rant over. |

| There's no endurance races either. Not even in the event list. Only way to do it is to set up an online race with AI. Not impressed with that tbh. |

| I heard that with nurb that they have chosen to make the circuit a lot wider for multiplayer gamers? Is that true? Judging by some of the videos I have seen it would appear to be alot wider than the nurb's interpretation on GT5 at least. |

| Well I'm really enjoying the D & E classes, I know it's going to take a heck of a lot longer to level but they're quite a lot of fun! Decided to try & stick exclusively to Toyotas to try to get high rep as early as possible. One thing I think is great is the multi class races - just a shame they didn't fix the AI intelligence. In fact, if anything I think the AI is worse than 3. Haven't lapped anyone yet so not sure if it's still the broken logic but certainly turn in and general driving logic is still very poor. |

| I was gonna look for those yesterday Chaz! This game is gr8, better than 3, but this version reminds me of GT5 and Sony. Why have we waited 2 years for crap upgrade options (mainly being what they were before), a few extra shapes in the paint editor, AI that still runs into you costing you money. Why should we have to wait for a staight to overtake? Plus god bless them, huge content of the American variety. I'm glad I didn't sign up for the DLC content package. You get 100,000 for a rivals lap, and get 15k for a race! Patched, it would be perfect. a GT5 owner it isn't. An awesome game in its own right it is. Maybe they expected to sell every copy of Forza 4 to someone who'd never played any of the other versions? |

| Again, the full version is more polished and far more refined than those pesky demos that Turn 10 put me off with everytime! They did it with Forza 2, 3 and 4 just to keep the flow going. The sounds are amazing, physics are delicate enough, although I would say that some cars still have way to much grip and you can keep drifting them for days, when in reality you would be picking leaves out of trees.
Just starting a little Career whilst I'm downloading the DLC, speaking of which any takers for the season pass thing? I'm not sure at the mo. |

| lol, yes some cool effects in the game. Would have been so easy to "script" night racing as a fixed scenario (not moving day to night), it should have made this version - as they've been happy to leave many other things unimproved. Ahhh well, Forza Freakin Five I guess! |

| Concur with the sounds - much better than 3.
I won't be getting the season pass - I think I only bought 1 or 2 car packs for FM3. It was mentioned earlier about all the Yank cars this time round; I would suggest that all the decent Euro & Jap stuff will be in DLC.
I had a look at Rival Mode last night & did the Top Gear Amalfi one; way better than career mode for getting XP/credits. I went from level 5 to level 8 in about 7-8 laps worth. TBH, I think it's a little bit too easy to get the XP, even if you don't actually try to beat the rival time you still rack up lots.
That, combined with no endurance races makes me think T10 have just catered for the fire it up & do a few laps/arcade brigade. Shame. |

| I don't like to moan (but I'm good at it so I will!), but the clean lap logic also seems flawed. Track days around Amalfi are rock hard due to the unclean if drafting - it's very difficult not to draft as the track is so tight & also the way it determines if your next lap is unclean before you even start it - the last turn before the two final chicanes on Le Mans no way gives you an advantage (in fact been the chicane after that doesn't) due to the very tight final chicane. |

| I'm enjoying it so far and think the rivals is a great addition. A little gripe from me is the inclusion of the DLC cars in the menu's... if i haven't bought them, don't show them me! |

| One of the many thing that deserved to be cured Chaz. I'm gutted about so many things, why put all the effort into IBL and ignore a good dozen top features not fixed or expanded on. |
