    Forza Horizon 4 is awesome. The graphics are some of the best you’ll see and I’m not even a big graphic guy. The gameplay loop is addicting as you unlock more races and challenges to do. As you drive around you get experience points for stunts and narrow hit and misses of other vehicles. You can do all sorts of things around the map.

You can do all sorts of things around the map. I like how you get your own house where you can customize your vehicles by the numbers in great detail of all things from tires to suspension, size reduction, engine swaps and more. I was late to the party on this one but I must say this is clearly the best Racing RPG experience I’ve ever been apart of. Oh yeah you don’t only race other cars but you race against trains trucks and huge hovercrafts I could believe the absurdity of it all yet it makes so much sense. Also you can customize what they call you in the game by last name or first name, also titles like Sir, Mr. President or Your Majesty! Lol! Absolutely incredible! I recommend this game to anyone with an XboxOne or PC. As a matter of fact I got the systems for this game among many others. Thanks Forza Horizon 4 Team for a racing masterpiece and I’m not even a big racing guy. Expand

    The best racing game ever. Physics, graphics, sounds, gameplay, music everything is very good. The multiplayer features are great. It's a complete masterpiece.

    This game isn't good, it's just a worse instance of Forza Horizon 3. After a while playing it on the Xbox one and the pc it gets really boring and some event and stunts are really hard and it doesn't have a story and it has less than 10 cutscenes. 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,This game isn't good, it's just a worse instance of Forza Horizon 3. After a while playing it on the Xbox one and the pc it gets really boring and some event and stunts are really hard and it doesn't have a story and it has less than 10 cutscenes. 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. Conclusion: If you're Forza diehard fan go ahead, buy this game but if you are an average gamer go and buy Need for speed Heat Expand

    The game runs well on consoles, and there has clearly been an improvement in PC optimization over the last game. The game has a lot of content, the graphics are wonderful, the map is big and the physics are fun, certainly a great game.

    Definitely the best racing game available on Xbox. It's as realistic as you could get; from physics to graphics. A lot of cars to pick from also works great with the g920 wheel.

    One of the best if not THE Best Racing game ever! I love the Gran Turismo series and have played racing games for 30 years.

Everyone I followed or talked to said if you like racing games and if you don't like racing games you will love Forza 4. Just play it or buy it outright the developers did an amazing job. Seasons do change everything. Playing through races and the open world in different seasons is great. I love how they kept the customization of upgrading your ride and paint booth plus you can just buy other set ups or designs/paint jobs from other users for in game currency. I love Gran Turismo games but Forza has not made me miss them very much. It's my go to racing game. It's not as much as a simulator as Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport but I can't tell a big difference using a controller. The open world is great for coming up with race tracks and the rally tracks throughout the landscape plus you can create your own race in a section of the map to be whatever you want it to be. This is great. Music stations are great and have good songs. Even if you don't like racing games or just want to try one out this is for you. It's a blast, you don't even have to race you can just cruise around. Expand

    This is how you do a open world racing game! The horizon series has always been a great game to drive through and mess about with your friends but this one just dials it up so much more! There are so many awesome features in this one that makes it stand out as the best in the series so far!

    The backdrop for this one is Great Britain and as a brit myself, I can say that they have done a superb job at recreating the classic british countryside I have come to love. Driving through this with my supercar and my mates driving alongside me just makes it so much fun.

    In terms of events, there are just SO MANY events to do. From races to stunts to epic showcase events there is always something there for you to do! Barn finds can be a lot of fun to pull off as well and get well rewarded for your efforts in that sense. Plus the changing of the seasons in the game change the dynamic of what you are trying to do. One minute it is the summer and you got the sun shining down on you, the next time you play, it could be the harsh cold winters and the roads have become icy. It makes the game fresh and keeps you excited and going for what is to come next!

    The main overworld of the game itself is also great as you are constantly in a online world. When you see other cars driving around, chances are that they are other players doing their own thing and you can choose to race them or join them on their own adventures. The fun just never stops.

    If you are a Xbox Games Pass subscriber and are into racing games and looking to have a fun time cruising around the great countryside with your mates, It is a no brainer!

    One of the best racing games. Yet it has some “problems” for me. The fact that the dirt races have almost 60% of asphalt in it so it is hard to choose an optimal vehicle for that. Online matchmaking is one of the worst. Free roam races in ranked makes no sense. Sometimes the physics can also be very fustrating.

Sometimes the physics can also be very fustrating. Oh and the fact that you can get a supercar after only a few races (where you only have to participate basically) is ridiculous and I lost motivation after I got my dream car early in the game. No challenge at all. I also found the map itself repetitive a bit. Besides these negatives it is a great racing game, hopefully the next one will have a more various map and a better online matchmaking system. Expand

    The best thing for me: The game doesn't really force you to play something you don't like, just do what you want. Sure, if you want a specific reward you might need to, but even though I don't like playing Online Adventures for example, playing one ranked every 4 weeks for the season rewards doesn't kill me.

Eliminator can be fun as well after a few times and getting to know how the mode works.

    I'm just not into the online races simply because I don't feel like tuning every car I want to drive there to 700/800/900/998 points to not be at a disadvantage from the start. But that's probably just my personal taste.

    Might not be for everyone, but it still looks great and is a pretty decent racing game with a good balance between arcade and realism.

    The best racing experience this generation has to offer, hands down. One of the best, if not the greatest racing experience ever created.

The graphics, car handling, weather system, content, are all phenomenal. My personalThe best racing experience this generation has to offer, hands down.

    To end, I guess i have a thing for open world racers, seeing as the only racing games I enjoyed recently were burnout paradise, nfs most wanted, and the motorstorm series. This game envelops all of those games and took it to the next level. Bravo, xbox.

    Again a little bit better and not because of continuity, but because of two years worth of obvious work. Thanks to that you can drown dozens or hundreds of hours racing on the ground that gave the world Jeremy Clarkson. And yeah, it has a couple of good cars too. [Issue#289]
