    So I have loved these open world forza games (2 and 3) but 4 is just ...not right.
    Lets start with the cars: They are nearly IDENTICAL to 3. So that in itself was a huge disappointment.
    The graphics are about the same as 3 so there are no complaints there, just not as "stellar" as i was hoping with my xbox one x on my 4k tv. Gameplay is a huuuuuuge disappointment. There are far less

    Gameplay is a huuuuuuge disappointment. There are far less races in game and you can move on by literally coming in last? What the crap is that, last?! Seems they have embraced the "Everyone is a winner, even though they are a loser" mentality that is plaguing the US of A right now. So needless to say there isnt a good feel for competition when everyone is just ho huming their way through a race because whether you come in first or last you get the same amount of credits.
    Wheel spins.
    This is just flat out broken! They have added this "dress up your character" and emotes bs that children like. So 80% of the time you get clothes or emotes in wheel spins, not cars. Talk about frustrating when you hope to get a cool new ride to edit and you get... a pair of shoes for your character in a car game???
    Map Size.
    It feels a little smaller then FH3 and it might be because there are far less races to do. I think i beat this entire game in a week, and not rushing at all.
    4 Seasons.
    So the four seasons idea is kinda cool! HOWEVER.... it automatically changes (ya, ya, i know thats how it is real life) but the trouble is if i dont log in at the right time i could miss an entire season! Or it will change while i am in the middle of a lake getting trick points then i sink! (true story!). You should be able to choose a season and join that server.
    1/2 mile race.
    There is none! This was a huuuuuuuge selling point for me in FH3 because everyone and their mother races this track at some point while playing Forza. Well, there is not track in 4! There is some dinky track on the beach (yes, sandy race) but its nothing like that airport on 3.

    All in All i fell ripped off! This seems to be a huge problem today- great games are regurgitated with a few visual updates and minor bs and sold as a new game. I am not impressed with this generation of gaming. There isnt enough new games...Anyway, i wouldnt suggest to anyone to pick up this game because there isnt anything new and there are better open world car games (the crew) and better racing games (forza). And the new "toon editing" and buying a house is just stupid and totally missed its mark for people that love cars! This Forza Horizon 4 just doesnt hit the mark on anything unfortunately.

    Compared to Forza Horizon 3, Forza Horizon 4 sucks and isn't worth playing. Keep reading to learn why...

    Don't buy the hype, this game is a sloppy wet turd. Compared to Horizon 3 this game down right sucks. The absolute biggest flaw are the new drivatars and the clothing and dance moves you can 'win' for them. It's as if Microsoft decided to blend an element of SIMs into this game and it fails on every level. The clothing is overly flamboyant, gaudy, and pathetic, the dance moves are nothing short of silly and stupid, and yet somehow both are supposed to be valuable to the player. The concept of the wheelspin is still there, but now there are super wheelspins with three prizes to win on every spin. While playing tonight I happened to earn a super wheel spin; I won a sparkly jacket, an extremely feminine looking tank top, and a bowler hat. No car, no credits... instead clothes that don't amount to crap in the game. Considering the amount of time, money, and effort put into developing and now playing this game, the idea of clothes, dance moves, and toot-toot horns somehow being of some value to a player should be enough to get the developer who thought of it fired. I hold no excitement for wheelspins any more. I only know they're going to infuriate and frustrate me every time.

    The second biggest flaw in this software turd is how OP the computer is. I consider myself an average player of the game, experienced from Horizon 3, but I did a race tonight and was 11 full seconds behind first place. I was 2 seconds behind 2nd and a half a second behind 3rd so it wasn't as if I was driving like an idiot. I'd really like to know how the first place "drivatar" was so good? And this game behavior is common! even at lower skill levels. As far as I can tell there are no turbo boosts or silly Mario Kart-type engine pumps that suddenly propel a car 8 miles down a track, and yet that's exactly what occurs when racing the game, and this occurs on a regular basis. I've been 2/3rds of a mile in front of 2nd place on the home stretch of a race and came in 8 because 2nd through 7th burst ahead. No mistakes in racing on my part, I was cruising straight and solid and still lost. No doubt on it; the game literally cheats.

    Both of these equate to one factor about Forza Horizon 4; it's simply not fun to play. Tonight I actually fired up Horizon 3 and raced a few bouts, and I remembered that 3 is actually fun to play. I earned a wheelspin in 3 and actually flinched until I remembered I was actually going to win something of value.... a car or credits. Switching back to Horizon 4 and I was quickly reminded that I had wasted my money on that version...and yes, I bought the extended version, VIP pass, DLC's.....all of it.

    There are other factors that make the game more crappy than annoying; the fact that difficulty levels are far harder, that your ability to earn credits is greatly reduced, but every car and upgrade is far more expensive. Add to that you have to 'buy' houses, now (another SIMs element?) and that "influence", fans in Horizon 3, doesn't seem to be of any value at all in the game. And the music is garbage compared to 3, all around. Each station plays far worse tunes than the previous rendition.

    One positive piece; Horizon 4 does look good on an Xbox One X in 4K, but that's short compensation when you come in fourth in a series against "novice" racers, earn a wheelspin and win flowery, sparkly flip flops that are considered "rare". The games a joke. If you like racing games; stick with Horizon 3 and save yourself some frustration.

PLEASE forza fix this. races should be their own event and all other cars not part of the race should be turned off or the race should just take place in a private server where there are no normal road cars going around. It isnt fun or seen as a challenge to dodge cars that are sitting in a race track, it just sucks and is only a threat to those in the race. i get that its fair because every car in the race has to avoid it but it just sucks and is annoying.

    There are so many things wrong with this game but at its heart it is fun. They need to stop all the BS taking cut scenes, 20 min load screens and stop adding features no one wants. My constant frustration with how slow everything in the game is is why I gave it 1 star. A AAA title can be much better than this.

    Worse than 3 in almost every single way, except the graphics.
    They censored the songs post-launch. That alone is enough reason to grant this game a 0.

    Pour le reste, le monde ouvert est très beau, le studio Playground ayant déjà démontré précédemment son talent en la matière avec bien entendu les effets méteo dynamiques ou le cycle jour/nuit. Outre le mode 4K, on a droit aussi (sur la X) à une offre inédite pour un Horizon, à savoir les 60 im/s garanties en 1080p, une offre qu'on ne peut pas refuser ! et une fluidité idéale pour tout jeu de bagnoles qui se respecte.

    Le strass et les paillettes sont donc au rendez-vous mais FH4 demeure un gros jeu d'arcade dont on se lasse plus ou moins rapidement ; la conduite trop simple, trop simpliste a gommé les différences entre les voitures et même les améliorations ne font qu'accélerer la vitesse de défilement du paysage... Si seulement on avait eu la physique d'un Forza Motorsport, on aurait eu la joie et toutes les raisons du monde de déambuler (plus ou moins vite) sur les routes de la campagne anglaise. Hélas...

    Le ton kikoolol des précédents Horizon demeure également : on est ici dans une grosse foire, mélange d'un Need For Speed de beaufs et d'une quelconque Codemasterconnerie annuelle avec par e xemple toujours ces courses super débiles de "cross-country" où on fonce à travers tout jusqu'au point suivant, en grappe avec l'IA revêche et tamponneuse.

    On peut personnaliser son avatar comme on l'entend au fil de la garde-robe farfelue que l'on gagne et débloque mais ce n'est pas tout ! influence kikoololissime oblige, celle de l'infame Fortnite, on peut aussi débloquer des "danses" (sic !)... Nul doute que les gamins de CM2 vont apprécier.

    Entre autres activités stupides, on fera la course contre des trains, des motos ou des hydroglisseurs... on pourra sauter aussi sur des rampes et foncer comme d'habitude dans des pancartes bonus, le collectathon coutumier des Forza Horizon.

    Voilà donc le Forza 4 (Katre) pour Kévin qui râtisse large, très large, vaguement amusant le temps de la découverte mais toujours aussi beau et con à la fois.

It would be nice if the game had a serious penalty for this, or even a non-collision mode so you're not playing against griefers in every single race, but I don't see that happening.

    If you really want to see how fun the game is, go watch Super GT on YouTube. He's made an entire series about Forza 7 and Forza Horizon 4 being nothing but ramming.

    Honestly, all I want is the ability to not play in the rain or mud for 3 weeks out of a 4 week span, but their seasons feature is just annoying and restricting far too much.

    Forza Horizon 3 is much more fun for the simple fact that you can avoid the seasons. That's enough for me.

    Facts:
    -FORGET ABOUT PLAYING WITH A STEERING WHEEL!!! As of now the wheel doesn't work worth squat, its so full of bugs.
    - Never before have Forza controls been this horrifically arcadey to the point where it feels like you're playing "Burnout: Paradise". It really doesn't even matter what vehicle you pick in this game because they all handle the exact same. The supercars perform equally as well as the trucks & vice versa on all terrains. Zero realism.
    - All the races (especially online) are complete hit & run sideswiping bashfests where the winner is determined by who rammed their opponents the hardest in the corners.
    - They have completely gone off the deep end with the unrealism in Horizon 4. It was getting bad (but tolerable) in Horizon 3 but this a whole new level of retardation. Constantly breaking through cobblestone barriers & 2ft diameter trees like they're made of cardboard, huh?
    - The Auction House is a complete joke, lots of people getting lots of cool cars for cheap but you won't be one of them, you'll get robbed right at the very last second 99% of the time.
    - It seems like they're using a new game engine or at least a new version of the old one, and I'm not a fan. Everything seems degraded from the graphics to the gameplay, and I'm on Xbox one X with a good 4K tv.
    - How come when you place dead last in a race you still basically "win" anyways and progress regardless of just losing? Add this to the general clothing selection & fruity festival vibe found throughout this game and you can pretty much figure out for yourself whats wrong with today's youth. Probably the exact types of people who made this game!
    - The A.I. is laughable

    I have very little spare time so log into the game ocassionally only to find out it's a winter and I can't do what I wanted to do - drive cool cars in a nice summer setting. Never cared for all the online and "social" part and this part seems all about online and clubs and whatever. Just let me drive what I want and how I want.

    Didn't even tried to understand all the activities that this game throws at me, just too much of everything. Everyone complained about stupid clothes and winning moves we get from wheel spins. I'm complaining about this too. It's a shame this game is zero fun. I still play Forza 7, and try this one from time to time, only to once again to see how boring this part is. I'm afraid Horizon 5 will be the same - very beautiful, but zero fun. Still hope to be proved wrong.

Tuning is pretty much unchanged, mostly same parts with some insignificant additions. (Except the spacers which are great but poorly implemented)
    VIP pass was a JOKE, they added tons of versions of already implemented cars, some ports from other games and mostly uninteresting things.

    It's a open world racing sandbox with not micro-transactions. On the other hand though it lacks car sounds, almost every car sounds like a weed wacker or weed eater.

Pero hay algo que lo arruina por completo, y se trata de las "aventuras con clasificación" (ranked), y principalmente son dos cosas lo que hacen que el juego no sea disfrutable online. Una es la cantidad de jugadores extremadamente tóxicos (eres muy afortunado si terminas una carrera sin que alguien te empuje fuera de la pista para que te saltées un punto de control, o que te lleven por delante en una curva, o lo peor y más ridículo en la historia de los videojuegos: los "wall riders", porque sí, si lo haces bien, es más rápido doblar una curva pegándote a una pared que doblarla como se debería hacer), la mayor parte del tiempo el juego parece más una arena de destrucción que una carrera. Y lo segundo, que me parece insólito, es que el juego elija todo por encima del jugador. Realmente esto es lo peor que he visto en un videojuegos de carreras EN MI VIDA. Qué pasa si no me interesa jugar cross country? O si me pasé tres horas poniendo a punto un auto clase s2 para carretera? Me jodo, porque si el juego dice dirt racing clase a en nieve, se corre eso y punto, y si no te gusta a salir de la carrera... pero obviamente no sin llevarte una buena penalización en tu clasificación. Lo mismo si sucede al revés, supongamos que te pasaste dos horas poniendo a punto un hermoso auto de rally... pues ahí tenemos no sólo lo que mencioné antes, que tienes que esperar a que al juego se le ocurra ponerte una aventura de dirt racing, sino que las carreras de "dirt" racing (""""""""""dirt""""""""""), son 80% asfalto, y probablemente la gane quien tenga el auto menos apto para correr en caminos de tierra.
    En resumen, para jugar offline, uno de los mejores juegos de carrera que ha existido. Pero para jugar online... no gracias. (A no ser que se forme parte de dicha toxicidad, lo único que importe sea ganar por encima de disfrutar el juego y sobre todo muy por encima de dejar que los demás lo disfruten aunque sea un mínimo.)

The murder of George Floyd has served as a tipping point for many Americans to sit and take stock of how we can make the world a more hospitable place. Even the little things matter, like banning racist iconography from a secessionist rebellion army fighting to uphold slavery from our racing video games.

Number two the AI drivers are extremely overpowered and cannot be beaten even on the lowest difficulty setting. I'm a pro at racing too. I have over 15 years of simulation racing experience and that shows that there is some then majorly wrong with the AI drivers. They are not at all effected by harsh terrain and can go around corners at speeds that are not possible to achieve even by the most experienced players. Number three is that the game forces you to crash into anything when a skill chain develops. That is super ultra dumb design right there. Overall not to bad of a game. Expand

    The AI always seems to be in a horrible place when i freeroam (I don't bother with online, really cba to deal with rammers).
    As always with Forza games, you better pay up to get any content, it's filled with microtransactions.
    And seasons are myeh, i just wish i could control them myself as i tend to just not bother playing during winter.
    Being forced to set a route is utter garbage, same with being forced to sit through and listen to some idiot speak, let me skip it.

    Atleast it has a good variety of cars (Although some only unlockable at some point in time or even only with online play).
    Fantastic open world with amazing scenery.

    IF not for the fantastic looking open world, i would recommend getting Horizon 3 instead.

    As a live service other than cars they refuse to re work any events. Stepping into the game today if you want to win a race or drift events you have to break all car knowledge. 1. Drag=drift
    2. power builds There is something to be said about not touching it but tbh it really just feels lazy. From the racing to elimination this whole game is half baked with the amount of unfunny meta cars.

    I looked at the game and I wanted it. However I was kind of disappointed. The game is more for online players than offline ones like me. So you have to buy Xbox live gold. Also for some reason I cannot collect the first treasure in fortune island. There should not be emotes,and no clothing. The seasons should be shorter. There should not be a sales fee.

The DLC for this game is terrible, and is wayy to easy to finish. There is no reason to play this game unless you have no way to play horizon 3 which has sadly been delisted this year.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the worst online racing game ever created packed with issues that developers just don't care to fix. You are now forced to play in teams, there is no option to play solo so no matter how good you are you will most likely keep loosing as they will keep throwing you into teams full of really bad players. Not only that but a lot of the times you start the games and teams are uneven for example 6 on opposite team and 4 on yours. From the start I can tell I will loose or win and there is no excitementto play, just frustration. Another issue is that all your hard work goes to nothing if you play ranked, one person leaving your team means your league score will not be updated and bear in mind people are NOTORIOUS for leaving, 80% of the times someone leaves or gets disconnected and developers thought it would be a great idea to not grant the points to people who stay in the game! In short online games when your car falls over you'll have to wait absolute ages for it to restart its position, fantastic idea when you don't really have that much time to play.I have tried giving this game a chance, I really have especially after years of really enjoying the brilliant horizon 3 online games. Horizon 4 is a massive flop but the worst thing is that developer is ignoring all the comments and issues, I feel like I got robbed. The game looks good I have no issues with graphics and scenery but I don't fancy getting angry and frustrated, gaming is supposed to be fun! I wish more people played horizon 3 online that was the best racing game ever. Expand

FH4 is really grindy and it asks you to pay money for "Expansions" and the seasons are pretty bad too because you cant do anything in the snow, you just slide all over the place. For the music after a while it gets repetitive and since this is an E rated game you cant add any music cause every track has swear words in it. Then you CANNOT mod the game even if you're playing solo because you'll get banned.
