Forza Motorsport 4 Impressions From the OS Community

Dumb question, however what is the second disc for? It will not allow me to install it. Thanks in advanced.

Did you go through disc 1 and on the main menu slide all the way to the right and select "install disc 2"? I have installed mine with no problems

Nope. Guess I should do that. Thanks!

Re: Forza 4 Impressions

Love the game so far. Also like the fact that I unlocked stuff because of my progress from Forza 3. It also said I was supposed to get 51k which did not get added to my account but that'd ok. Have enough cars for awhile that I wont need to buy any.

The Aston Martin One-77 is an absolute dream to drive

You have to go into the Marketplace I believe and there will be a section in the middle talking about gift cars and such, your money will be there.

Continued impressions

Car handling and tracks continue to wow me. Not just impress me WOW me.

When you go into tunnels. It looks like it. The reflections, the differences in lighting and contrast is ALL THERE in this game. No other racing game has been able to capture that.

Car detail is crazy I've owned a few of these cars (not saying which ) and they are spot on and when you go into te cockpit view it feels like im in my old car again...LOVE IT
Also a great thing the behind the car view which is far is GREAT for tight tracks and lets you see the road a bit better. Nice work on gettin this right as well Turn 10
Hawkinheim or whatever you call it is gorgeous what a great track to race in...PERIOD.

But again load times STINK... I want to just race...anyway


I can't stress enough though the game has a very reward and fair points system in place. I love it I place first in 2 races I get 'gift cars" my equivalent to "YAY!"

One thing really nice about World tour mode. they do an aerial view of the tracks like a google maps showing where it is within the countries geography. For me that makes it feel like im actually TRAVELING somewhere and not just being put on a track that "says" its from someplace. If you get what i'm saying...

I have a major gripe however that is not game related. The music and the inability to "set" or set-up your soundtrack. There are like two songs on this puppy that im lovin and i cant listen to them all the time or what have you. 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.........

Re: Forza 4 Impressions

Getting ready to race now. I'm having an issue with loading custom vinyl groups, though, which has me a bit disappointed.

Re: Forza 4 Impressions

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.

Re: Forza 4 Impressions

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.

Re: Forza Motorsport 4 Impressions From the OS Community

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.

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.

Re: Forza 4 Impressions

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.
