   Well, this is the best racing game of 2011. Great graphics, great online, and then 500 machines, and each of them looks better than reality. The only downside to all this - a boring campaign. MFB… Expand

   Forza Motorsport 4 was released this past Monday. I bought it Thursday afternoon and began playing, and after less than fifteen hours of play I have reached level 30. Now I played Forza Motorsport 2 for about six months simply because it had come with my brother's xbox. Once he declared his Call of Duty off limits, I resorted to playing this cheap game that came with the console. It turned out to be a very enjoyable game and after six months of play I decided to purchase the third Forza. At this time number four was roughly eight months away. I got tremendously involved in Forza Motorsport 3 probably because I became extremely good at the game. I created dozens of cars that were placed in the racing classes, due to their Performance Index, or R3 class R2 and R1 being the highest (excluding X). Now out of my R3 Nissan Skyline GT-R Spec-V, my R2 Audi R8, and to keep the list short my Datsun 510 which was also an R2 class, none of these were imported into the new Forza Motorsport 4, and even more disappointing is the fact that no longer is the German car manufacturer Porsche available. Their replacement is merely an RUF which has but one Porsche 911, not even Porsche's supercar is available. The disappointment doesn't stop there. The producers have taken out several more cars out of the game and though they have put dozens more in they still neglect to greatly expand on the variety of cars. Yes being able to purchase a Hummer H1 is pretty cool, being able to drive the world's most expensive cars is there with the hypercars such as the Stirling Moss by Mercedes-Benz but lack the most exciting cars like the Ariel Atom, the V6 and the V8 version are both ten time the fun to drive than a big bulky over priced Bugattii. The Venom GT by Hennessi is also missing, the worlds fastest production car to date. Nevertheless they have sharpened key points that needed serious improvement and others that did not need improvements and are even better. The concept of viewing a certain number of supercars inside and out is impressive, the commentary is even more so. The online play is extraordinary and racing is even cooler. However, Turn 10 would blow away the competition and set a whole new level of gaming if they steal Test Drive Unlimited's free play mode. Being able to simply cruising around in my favorite car around the globes coolest roads while still being able to be chased by police and seeing and racing other people randomly via Xbox Live is where I feel is the weakest point. In Forza Motorsport 4, Turn 10 has absolutely revolutionized racing simulations due to their modifications of the game. I personally feel that once Turn 10 hit a point in development they gave up. Which is where I feel the expression "a conclusion of an essay is where the author got tired of writing" and Turn 10 made the same mistake. They have made a fantastically good game and it should be given all the credit it deserves. They deserve this credit because Forza Motorsport 4 has absolutely met the expectations of consumers...but has not exceeded them.… Expand

   So the game is really pretty much 5/5, the best racing game of the generation. Handling is sweet with a wheel, sounds are way ahead of the competition (GT5...). Ton of cars that I actually want to drive.
   
   Here is my beef. The GENIOUSES at turn10 decided NOT to suppport the MOST POPULAR wheel for Forza, which is the 911 wheel by Fanatec. Sure the force feedback works and is brilliant, BUT...
   Did they map every single button according to the new CSR wheel? Yep. NO offical support for 911 wheels. Since the 911 wheel doesn't have an analog stick, all the functions that are mapped to that, are nonfunctional.
   
   Want to look to your side? CSR exclusive! WHAT WHAT WHAT. How on earth are you supposed to race online seriously without looking to your sides?
   Just had a wrecker on the server and wanted to give him a bad review on Xbox Live. Too bad he was 16th and the game only shows 12 first finishers. Want to scroll down on the results list? CSR exclusive feature!
   
   Turn10, you have an excuse for not supporting Logitech wheel (licensing for wireless technology). What is your excuse for not properly supporting my 500, FIVE HUNDRED EURO wheel which I bought 2 weeks before Forza. You have all the button mappings ready from Forza 3 and just decided "nah, lets annoy wheel owners a bit more".
   
   If you are looking to buy a wheel for Forza, make it the CSR...Otherwise you might just think that turn10 made you throw 500+ down the drain. On top of this, the multiplayer has been bugged since day 1, no fixed after 7 weeks... Car classes F-B are full of cheaters so they are pretty much unplayable. A Dodge Super Bee is around 7-15 seconds a lap faster than non-"cheat" cars. Have the leaderboards been wiper? Nah. And they still play online as well. On top of that there have been no changes to play lists to you are stuck racing A-S class cars on the same 10 tracks, not utilizing 80% of the games content. GT5 is a way worse game, but at least the fixed the faults. Whats your excuse Turn10?… Expand

   Awful Single player for experienced players and absolutely stealing methods with DLC cars like Alfa Romeo Giulietta that they were ready before launch but you had to pay for them!! They did not manage to give players the choice for measure units (??!!) In the next Forza they should respect more their buyers. I really feel cheated... I played the game for just some weeks and returned to Forza 3.… Expand
