    First off, FH4 is a good game. However as for me, as for my level of entertainment, that it's a step down from FH3, which is a close-to-perfection game for me.

    Fot starters, I hate the fact that there are emotes/horns/clothes in prize wheels. That sometimes just makes me berserk. Secondly, the OST for FH3 was just beautiful, but FH4 radio is just.... there. Bass Arena, Pulse and    First off, FH4 is a good game.

    Secondly, the OST for FH3 was just beautiful, but FH4 radio is just.... there. Bass Arena, Pulse and Block Party are nowhere near the FH3 level. XS is good though.

    The other problem I have is rubber banding. Tell me whatever you want, it IS present in the game. And it's somewhat annoying that some random drivatar is ridiculously overpowered.

    And last but not least, IMO, the northern part of the UK is an inferior setting to Australia.

    The only other thing I didn't really like is that you actually need to unlock skills songs, drone and fast travelling via buying the houses, even though the idea of hoses as a substitute to festival cites is interesting.

    Gameplay-wise it made steps in right direction diversifying the gameplay and the game modes.

    Graphics is off the charts. Handling is great and what I like the most that no two cars in the game handle in the same manner.

    The game is really great, but for me not as great as FH3.    … Expand

    Game is great The seasons are nice because they add more replay ability. But the AI could be fixed a little but if you play like a normal person you shouldn’t have any problems with it.

    FH4 te hace sentir la libertad de un mundo diseñado con buen gusto y lleno de contenido. Excelente sensación de conducción y ambientación en cuanto al apartado artístico y sonoro.

    The graphics of this game is mind-boggling. The driving physics for the simcade racer is very well done. It's fun just messing about in the English country side (although the map is a bit boring even with Edinburgh in the game). The car lineup is staggering.

The car lineup is staggering. All sorts of brands and cars from different eras. Even have Lego (DLC) and Hotwheels cars in the game. The seasonal events are fun but can sometimes be monotonous. Seasons in general are a neat novelty at first but gets tiring after a while, especially winter. The biggest downfall of this game is the progression system. Every time you level up, you earn a wheelspin. But the rewards in the wheelspins are garbage. The addition of unnecessary cosmetics like clothing, car horns, emotes feels out of place for a racing game. It just felt that it was added on since that was the trend in 2018. I feel that the wheelspins should have just been credits and cars. The progression system with the specific events are similar in this manner. It's based on a tier system. But the rewards sometimes feel out of place. After you get to a certain tier level in street racing for instance, you can unlock a Nissan Skyline R34. But then afterwards, you can unlock a emote. It doesn't make any sense. The Horizon stories are a fun addition to the game. The community for this game is fantastic. They are a creative bunch. The battle royale mode added in the game is actually surprisingly fun. They added houses to the game but owning a castle doesn't really feel different than owning a shack in the forest. There's no interior differences and no place for you to walk around with your character and see the car. In fact, you character serves virtually no purpose in the game except as a poor excuse to add clothing and emotes in the game. Overall, it's a fun racing game for you to play when you just want to kick back and relax.… Expand

If I'm honest I was not massively taken back by Horizon 3, I thought Australia was bland and flat when compared to Horizon 2's Italy/France based map.

Horizon 4 though has absolutely nailed the location. It is, without doubt, THE best looking game I have ever seen. And I'm not even able to play it in 4k as I don't have an Xbox One X - so it must be amazing on that. I'm from Northumberland and I ride a motorbike (so I get about a bit) and I am telling you now that Playground games have captured the beauty and atmosphere of the north of England, Wales, and Scotland perfectly. The seasons - they are great. Summer really does feel like summer, with lush green fields and blue skies. Autumn really does feel like autumn, with leaves littering the road, rainy weather, and the ambiance of the environment feeling a little cooler. Winter looks fantastic, with the sky being a slightly different shade of blue due to the sun being lower in the sky You get the idea. The attention to detail in this game is honestly staggering...for example the map view turns white in winter, the radio goes off when you go through tunnels...and the cars - they are modelled perfectly. Additionally the seasons massively diversify the map keeping things fresh and new - this is a great idea. It has a great soundtrack too. What's better than flying through the English countryside in an Aston Martin with classic FM playing? Nothing really. I'm not a huge fan of the over the top opening sequence but that's just to introduce you to the game, the real depth and detail comes after you progress past that. Please disregard the overly negative reviews scoring 0, I'm not sure how any game can score a 0, especially not a game of this calibre and polish. It's disappointing that so many would rate the game 0 having not played it and simply because they are disappointed by the average score of GT Sport. I'm giving this game a 10 as I honestly do not know what they can do to improve it. There is no such thing as a perfect game but this is as close as possible as you will get to that. This is without doubt the best arcade racing game ever made. It may be the best racing game ever made. There is no other racing game on the market that can compete with this, and I suspect there won't be for some time. Buy it :-)… Expand

    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 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.    … Expand

    Okay, so for the start i want to apologize for my english but i think you will get the clue of my thread.

    Its month from premiere so its a good time to sum up some things. For the start, game was 9/10 for me but after whole moth of playing as "ultimate" copy owner my mark droped down to 6/10. I played a lot of FH3 (something about 80 hours) and in FH4 i have something around 30h. Im more competetive player than casual. For the start, things that i like in Horizon 4:

    -Emoticons and avatar customization, its pretty fresh and i like it. If you dont like it, you can easily ignore it. For me its fun.
    - Team rankeds. For all of you it could be a little controversial but let me explain. I noticed, that players FINALLY get it, there is less amount of rammers than in FH3 BUT there thing is more complicated. I will explain it later.
    - Amazing tracks
    - Skills trees on cars
    - Game is easier. Freeroam is less frustrating (less thing to hit) and there is fewer cases when u can lost your sick skillchains. Cars handling is simpler (+125% CR player here on Elite controller) and its more fun to play and riding around
    - Bots on "Unbeatable" are easier. In FH3 they were STUPIDLY fast on corners. In FH4 they fix that.
    - Seasons are ok, fresh touch.

    Now things that i hate and i noticed, and Polish Community in our official Facebook group.

    - Long time to get into ranked/multiplayer. Are you serious? Its get stupidly long! Where is the reason to wait so long when at all i get into non-classified players? We are already month from premiere and you still dont fix it, thats a shame
    - My +125% CR rank gives nothing in FH4 in multi. I could easily win adventure in FH3 ending in the middle, now its more complicated because of team-only rankeds.
    - Hendicap. Its impossible to win match playing 6 vs 4 (if you are in more numeroes team). If i with my friend end up on 1 and 2 place, we get 450 and 400 points its impossible to win with retards in your team because 3, 4 and 5 place get 400 points. I lost a lot of games like that, and win a lot. Playing in less counted player team is easier, because only bad players rage quiting and you get more points.
    - Second problem, game not updates score points when someone leave in race. 3 of your teammates can leave so you are playing 6 v 3 by rest of the race and there is no way you can win it.
    - I have no idea who thought that will be a good idea to random cross/road and classes.
    - Playground Games need to smoke some good **** the most complicated, curved and tight tracks are in road S2 in winter Season. Good joke folks.
    - Not all cars have winter tyres
    - No championships in singleplayer
    - More grind like in Fh3. I never repeated race in Horizon 3 because i wanted to get something. In FH4 you need to grind to get Goliath, for example. You have a lot of cars taht you like? Grind skillchains
    - Getting more points in skillchains that 600k is pointless. You get 6000 xp points and 10 SP max
    - "Anything Goes" races should named "Anything vs Ford Focus, Audi TT and Chalenger", seriously its nothing fun to being catched up by Ford Focus when u ride your Vulcan 430kmh+. We need more variety here!
    - Glitchers still on top in scoreboards. WTF? Devs didnt know limitations of their own game? Im Software Developer too and i belive, that it can be blocked by software. D100 car and 500kmh+ dont seems to be stupid by Playground Games?
    - Season championships are boring. And that rewards, +5000kr? One super Wheelspin? Devs dont know their own game? 5000kr is nothing here. Why so many cross - championships there? Seriosly, even in ranked i played cross-events most, what the hell? I feel first expansion will be something like Rally in FH1 :v
    - Clubs have no sense. Where is in-club rank? Where is awards for getting exp for your club?
    - Forzathon Live not scaling. You can never end it up in 3 players or end all live in 3 minutes. It depends on how many players join it. You should scale tasks to end
    - Having cars in C, B classes are pointless because of lack of adventures with these classes

    At all, for whole month of playing it looks like reskin of Forza Horizon 3. We get less content, more of them are the same as FH2. We get a little better graphics, seasons and drift tuning. Thats all. The rest of all are less. No community chalenges (in FH4 it calls like singleplayer missions for drift club, YT channel etc, you know what i mean), no championships (it makes single much shorter), you cant choose what you want to play in multiplayer. This game is step back, but i love to playing it, Thats why i posted my thoughts and i belive, devs will fix it in the future and FH5 will be finally something new. For now, its 5/10 for me. Its good, but we should get more.    … Expand

    This is my very first experience with the Forza franchise. I never owned an Xbox until last year so this is just another Xbox first for me. I have to say that this game has blown me away, this is one of the best racing games that I have ever played.

I never owned an Xbox until last year so this is just another Xbox first for me. I have to say that this game has blown me away, this is one of the best racing games that I have ever played.

    Genre

    Racing

    Gameplay

    This is an open-world racing game, a similar vein to Burnout Paradise which was just remastered earlier this year. The big difference is, that game never clicked with me but this game just feels like something special. I think the big difference between the two is Burnout Paradise is an arcade racer 100% and the Forza Horizon franchise is the perfect blend of arcade and simulation racer.

    The fact that the game is an open world really plays the games strength. If you want to hop into the game for 20 minutes and just drive around, you can do so with relative ease. Although people are definitely starting to feel open-world fatigue this game is not big deal because this is a racing/driving game and its fun to just drive around. So the most basic thing you can do in an open-world is just move around and when that aspect is fun then it instantly becomes a fun open-world game.

    The other nice aspect of the game being an open-world game is the fact the fact that you can easily pick and chose what racing events you want to engage with. There is street racing, off-road racing, dirt racing, drag racing, drifting, etc. The list goes on if you don’t have any interest in a specific event you can easily ignore it. I personally have 0 interest in drifting so I just didn’t even waste my time engaging with that.

    Single Player

    The nice thing about this game is, you can play this entire game by yourself offline and its a great experience. I have played almost 30 hours of this game offline, just doing whatever I want.

    Online

    I know the game has online, I’m not entirely sure what the online is. I don’t have it so its hard for me to comment on what the online entails.

    Driving

    Open-World

    Recap: The Okay

    I didn’t talk about it in the review, I will just mention it here. There is character customization. Its very basic, some people may have an issue with it. I don’t care personally, I’m not playing a racing game because I care about what my character looks like.    … Expand

    Firstly, Forza Horizon 4 is an absolutely gorgeous game, whether in 4k @ 30 or 1080p @ 60 (Always gonna take the FPS in a racing game), the numerous vistas and beauty spots, the lines of the cars and their interiors, the countryside of the UK, and the seasonal effects are all brought to life with the enhanced graphics capabilities of this game. I can imagine it being even better on PC with 4k @ 60, but this is exceptional for console standards.

    From a gameplay mechanics perspective, not much has changed year over year, still has the same feel of old, with the same sort of customization and tuning that fans have grown accustomed to over the years. This game has a similar setup with different types of events for you to partake in, from street racing to dirt/snow trail rallies, there are a lot of races to complete and loads of content to keep your progression from getting too stale, including the showcases for each season which certainly lend themselves to fun gameplay moments.

    Seasons is a nice touch and addition, cycling through the seasons live and online happens every 7 days, which can be good or bad depending on if you are picky about what season you would prefer to be in, but there is always the option to go offline and play how you would like to. It is certainly worth mentioning that I do really enjoy the changeovers from what I have played so far, as each season offers new pathways, gorgeous vistas, and fun racing dynamics that encourage different car styles that players would most likely avoid otherwise.

    The car engine noises are hit and miss for me sometimes, some of them sound on point like they would in real life and some of them sound like raspy cereal box car toys... I do not know how else to describe that, sorry.

    Forza is also offering their usual DLCs, with the first one dropping in December, and if Blizzard Mountain and Hot Wheels are any indication, we're in for something good. I cannot mention DLC without mentioning that the level of purchasable content has been increasing over the years and this a big negative for me, I understand the Ultimate edition and how it comes with free DLC packs and all the cars, but if you do not wish to purchase that version or cannot afford to, you might have a really bad time with purchasing car packs and passes without it, the prices can get pretty ridiculous.

    I also have to mention the noticeable absence of Toyota's mainstream models, and Mitsubishi altogether, and while I cannot blame this on the Forza team because the circumstances and reasoning have not been released at the time of writing this review, it is terribly sad to not race around in my FNF Supra, or have a rivalry rally race between the Impreza and Lancer. I better not see them as a DLC pack either, or I'll be even more disappointed.

    I have also found it increasingly annoying how easily obtainable some of these cars are, and I am not sure if I want to consider this a negative because there are so many games that hide this sort of progression behind a paywall, but what I am trying to say is that I do not feel like owning a hyper car is something I earned or is special because it becomes easily obtainable after a few hours of gameplay for everyone, and subsequently becomes ubiquitous.

    I have to also mention that the soundtrack seems to either play the same 6 or 7 songs over and over or is just too short in total, which is not too impressive for me. Alongside this, keep in mind that this game is aimed at kids, so do not be surprised when you see emotes all over the place, mediocre voice acting, and over simplification of certain mechanics.

    + Absolutely gorgeous graphics
    + Same great customization & tuning
    + Extensive car list
    + Fun gameplay
    + Loads of content
    + Dual graphics options
    + Seasons offers different varieties of gameplay
    + Great online atmosphere

    - Too much purchasable content going forward
    - Not too much has changed year over year
    - Omissions of Toyota & Mitsubishi is sad

    Overall, Forza Horizon 4 is an excellent game, and is well worth picking up if you are a series fan or a car person in general, just do not expect a complete overhaul from the 3rd instalment. This game is an 80 for me.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

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.… Expand

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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!

    I'm a little late to post my opinion, but here it goes.

    The game looks great, but somehow has zero playability for me. Horizon 1, 2 and especially 3 were great! Spent hundreds hours in them, I imagine. This one is just boring after one hour. Huge deal breakers are mandatory season changes and overstuffed map with millions of icons.

    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.    … Expand

    Muito bom. A franquia parecia ter atingido o ápice no 3º jogo, mas eles se superaram! FH4 é MUITO divertido. A pista/mapa é bem variado. Passa-se horas jogando e não nos cansamos. Um dos melhores jogos da geração e sem dúvida o melhor de corridas.

    Sem dúvidas Forza é a melhor franquia de jogos de corrida da atualidade, e a série horizon por ser mais arcade é muito acessível. O sistema de estações trouxe uma nova dinâmica ao jogo e expandiu bastante o mundo aberto, é muito interessante ver quanto uma pista pode mudar dependendo da estação

    The races feel good and similar to FH3.
    I didn't like the progression, it also doesn't "force" variety like 3 did, you can complete the whole game using the same few cars. It also feels shorter.

    Overall an ok game but a lazy and poor sequel, it's basically FH3 with some features removed and some less important ones added. Social component was destroyed and nobody will even do anything with random people, they will literally drive right through you (ghosting is a useless and sad feature) and there is nothing to push the community to socialize.

Attention is on supercars, if like most actual car people you like every day cars you will notice how many important ones are missing, even tho they are already modeled for FH7/FH3. 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. Enjoy your 6 different versions of the lamborghini whothehellcareos, and 5 variations of the chevrolet pleaseshootmeintheface... Fortune island is a great map but it's smaller than my basement and gets boring after some days. Get your act together, i'm reinstalling FH3.    … Expand

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.)    … Expand

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).
