A refinement of a fantastic game that loves cars as much as we do. The king of sim racers. [Christmas 2011, p.66]

Forza Motorsport 4 is pretty much the same game as its predecessor, this time only with added Kinect controls and somewhat limited Autovista functionality. Luckily Forza 3 was a great game and Forza 4 is too. Best new feature is larger player cap in online matches. [Nov 2011]

Perfect drive from the very beginning to the end! Driving model is rough enough and multiplayer options are endless. If you don't have a steering wheel yet Forza 4 is the reason to get one. [Nov 2011]

Still amazing. The graphics, frame rate, music, car selection, modifications, menus, driving feel, EVERYTHING still holds up today. Phenomenal.

After playing through most of it, the general game feels a bit too similar to FM3, but I still appreciate the slight upgrade in visuals/sound, and the boost in manufacture and track variety. The music specifically, is very mesmerizing but extremely soothing to listen to. Top Gear, your awesome!

I was shocked when I realized how playable this game still is. It has aged very well and the satisfaction from driving in this game is huge. Beautiful locations, graphic is still holding up, clearly this game was made with passion. I really enjoyed it!

Forza Motorsport 4 may not be perfect and there are still some things that last year's Gran Turismo 5 either does better or that Forza doesn't do at all. But for the core driving experience, technical achievement, and level of accessibility, Turn 10's effort is nothing short of superb.

The visual finery, combined with the faithfulness of the driving experience and Forza's trademark attention to detail make this game the finest simulation racer available, in our opinion.

Forza Motorsport 4 offers an even better driving experience than its predecessor: It comes with more cars, improved driving physics and AI , tons of options, great online features and high detailed graphics. Compared with 2009-released Forza Motorsport 3 improvements can be found in almost every aspect of the Game. At the moment Forza Motorsport 4 is not only the best racing game for the Xbox 360 - it's the best driving game available for any console.

Forza Motorsport 4 is a work of love and an absolute gem of a racing game. The feel of the actual racing has been tuned somewhat and now feels a little more playful.There´s realy not a whole lot of new content compared to the last entry in the series, but the polish and improved graphics is incredible. If you'er only going to get one racing game this year, this should be it.

A fabulously rewarding drive and the finest Forza yet, but one that comes with an Advisory Notice: more single-player focus and diversity will be needed next time out to prevent the franchise from suffering a potential misfire.

Forza 4 gives us the most complete experience of all the Forza games. The physics are better, the multiplayer and career modes are improved and there are more cars and tracks than ever before. But there are few truly new features for the racing enthusiast. Where is the dynamic weather and night racing?

In my opinion, this is the peak of racing games. Nothing better than this has been released since 2011.

A decent step up from Forza 3. Otherwise nothing particularly special. Still a solid game.

I have never really went online with this but the single player has some issues. The computer AI is set to "extremely easy" and there is no way to increase the difficulty of the AI. You can change all the other settings to difficult like no guideline etc and still breeze through the levels. Also every map is sunny and that does get old after a while. Graphics are good. Its the kind of game you play to relax before bed. 7/10 id say. I guess I should get Forza 5 now that I have the Xbox one, mabye it will be more challenging.

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.

Very unsatisfied by this game. It was a let down to me being a forza fan, playing Forza 1 until 2am enjoying do i enjoy this. I plan and simply didn't like this one because of 2 main reason. 1 The singleplayer AI is way too easy and you cant adjust it to make it harder. 2 its is way to simple to have a cheap powerful car for no cost. Why is is bad? Well if you use a specific car brand to lv5 you get huge money bonuses and no cost what so ever, to me it takes the fun of upgrading my car, its hard to say it just that it doesn't feel natural and i think it is a wrong turn for the game.
