    Forza horizon 4 is a downgrade from the previous title, forza horizon 3. The lack of color in the map and laziness in map design really drags the game down, along with the lazy car models.

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. Just find a better game. Expand

    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

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

    Gameplay wise this easily tops previous Horizon titles and the seasons add a ton of replay value. The addition of Rally focused races is also a welcome addition. This is hands down the best open world racer and I've played them all regardless of platform.

    The game is also incredibly polished and bug free. I have yet to have a single issue in well over 100 hours except a single crash due to pushing the overclock on my gtx1080 too far.

    Last but not least this game runs significantly better than fh3 or fm7 on lower spec machines so you can hit 60+fps with higher settings or resolution.

    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.

When I wasn't just plowing through farm lands to hit a jump going 150mph and actually diving into all the diverse race styles that game had to offer I would see the hours tick by. It was a nice break from traditional racing games of racing on the same tracks since the Grand Turismo days of the late 90s over and over with just updated car models and graphics. The game was gorgeous and ran extremely smooth on the Xbox One X. Between all the different modes you can partake in the single player and the team style modes in multiplayer, I highly recommend this game to racing fans, especially if you are looking for something other than racing Sebring Raceway for the one millionth time in your life.

    The game is impeccable, especially if you haven't played another racing game in a while (which incorporates some "GTA questing" on the go, mildly) but I must subtract at least 2 points because:

    1) The game's NPCs are utterly annoying by being single-headed fools that try way too much to be excited. Not only they act like drunk bafoons all the time, almost all stories are uninteresting

    2) The game is in need for extreme grinding in order to reach 100% completion. i.e. it becomes a chore to complete it fully and you might be better off not reaching 100% completion.

    All in all the game is definitely not bad but be warned, it's not perfect, especially if you are experienced at gaming. Highly recommended if you haven't played good racing though.

    PS. Never play a game like this with a keyboard, always use a good controller, at least.

There is no more Solo Online Adventure. There is no more driving to events in between each race. There is only Team Race Adventure. So you get put on a random team if you are playing by yourself

There is no more Solo Online Adventure. There is no more driving to events in between each race. There is only Team Race Adventure. So you get put on a random team if you are playing by yourself and even if you win the race you can still lose overall if you don't have good teammates. But wait...there is more. There is no collisions off mode so prepare to be rammed into constantly by the other team and also your own team!!! It's extremely frustrating to be crashed into, corner bombed and pushed out of checkpoints over and over again. It's as if they made the multiplayer specifically for 12 year olds. I won't even play it anymore.

    Also there is NO OPEN CLASS RIVALS!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can only race rivals in the cars they give you or from a small pool of specific cars. Example B class off road buggies.

    Had I known all the things I loved about the Horizon series were going to be removed I would have never bought the Ultimate Edition of this game. Total waste of money.

    Setting plays a huge part in open world games whether its a racing game or what ever. UK was perfect choice for this one. A breath of fresh air 'cause you just don't see that very often. Usually its LA or some boring like a European place. I really hope next entry will take place in Japan.

    Controls feel tight and better than before, probably 'cause this was made for new generation consoles. Hell, I can even drift with a game pad. Ai balance issues between race types have been fixed and this was something I didn't believe would happen. This restored my faith in turn 10 and playground games as a developer. Multiplayer events are super fun and very well implemented.

    The game is absolutely beautiful. Lighting is top notch and the world is very immersive. I don't know if that's the right word but it makes me feel like I'm really sitting in that car driving trough British country side. Last time this happened was when I got ps1 as a Christmas present back in a day and it just blew my mind. I can't remember when i had this much fun playing a modern game. Holy hell I'm impressed.

    Only con is the car roster. There is just too many boring BMWs and too few interesting cars. But at least Porsche is back so that's good.

    I'm actually little bit lost for words here. Horizon 4 is so good it doesn't need a long ass review. It's awesome, go play it!

Each player will find in the open world that it is more interesting to him. There are no restrictions, there are no rules. A huge number of cars (to carp unless it is possible for lack of the Mitsubishi brand), excellent graphics (especially for Xbox One X) and an excellent soundtrack. Indicative arrivals have turned out excellent, some even surpass an introductory demonstration run in Forza Horizon 3.
    It is possible to carry to shortcomings unless only that fact that the multiplayer becomes available after passing of the introduction. Well still models of avatars of racers look wildly outdated, especially a facial expression. Strange, but even in Forza Horizon 2 they look better.
    P.S. A demonstration arrival of HALO just the best crossover which I saw in recent years.

    Forza Horizon 4 is a beautiful semi-arcade race with luxurious graphics and a rich fleet. The game is worth buying at least because, despite the steps back compared to the last part of the series, Forza Horizon 4 offers a unique feeling of the most important thing - the absolute pleasure of the ride process. The game has earned its 10 points! Looking forward to Forza Horizon 5 for Xbox Series X

    The content of the game is huge. We can find a huge number and variety of cars we can drive, and each of them is a completely different experience; It's clear that Playground Games really pulled their weight to make this game unique in its genre. Moreover, the amount of things available along the game is really big too: Races, challenges, exhibition events, missions, places to visit... There're always things to do. So if that's only the offline game, imagine how big it becomes online.
    About the visual section of the game, It's just gorgeous. In addition, the game is perfectly optimized for Xbox one X (where I played), even if you choose to play in the performance mode (which runs the game at 60 fps) the graphics will amaze you for sure.
    What I find annoying is that the game is a bit hard to play in the beginning for newcomers. We'll have to learn by our own without the help of almost any tutorial. We have to take into account the depth of this game, so some assist would make this game more accessible for everyone.

    Forza Horizon 4 is the best racing game of all time. That may sound like an overstatement but it really is true. The closest thing I can think of in terms of pushing the genres envelope is probably Gran Turismo 2 and this feel like even more of a leap forward than that game.

    I'm not even playing this on 4k and it is definitely amongst the most beautiful games I've ever played. The weather effects not only shine visually but in how they effect your cars handling/braking. I may be somewhat biased coming from the UK but it all looks absolutely stunning. There is a ton of elevation variety which is probably the biggest knock on the previous Forza games. The map is absolutely gigantic and the roads, both off road and on are amazing fun to drive. The car detail has now gotten to a near photo realistic level, particularly when shown in 4k. There has been more than one moment when I've been playing this where you just get lost in how wonderful it all looks. Fortunately there is a brilliant photo mode to help capture these moments. Everything looks absolutely brilliant, every single car looks amazing. The dynamic seasons basically mean that every week the game changes not just visually but significantly. Winter makes lakes turn into gigantic skid pans, Spring brings heavy rain making the off roads even slidier than before and Summer just makes everything look beautiful. It's some of the best gaming graphics I have ever seen which is even more astounding since it all comes from a single load on start up that isn't even that long.

    Gameplay.
    Incredible. They've mastered the "Forza Horizon" style of car handling now which isn't simulation but isn't quite arcade. You will have absolutely zero difficulty in making any car drift, for example, but this all adds to the fun. The odd part is Horizon has now basically just become a gigantic sandbox. There is no real story, even if the old entries had a very basic one this time around there really isn't anything. There is a festival, lots of cars and lots of races to use them in. That's about it. But that's perfect. Its simple. It's a game you can play for 6 hours or 20 minutes and feel like you achieved something in the time you spent playing. The constant addition of not only new races but new story paths give this game a level of depth I've basically never seen elsewhere. The story modes all put a little spin on the races which addresses the issue that really all you can do in racing games is, well, race. Things like Drift Club, Stunt Driver and the brilliant addition of British Racing Heritage add so much more to a game that could easily become boring and repetitive. British Racing Heritage definitely requires singling out as brilliant. They throw you into a variety of British cars, tell you to drive to a point and on the way give you an interesting and well written history lesson on the car. Its great fun and informative too, even to a fairly avid petrol head like myself. There is simply so much to do it is a testament to how fun it is to just drive the cars that in the last week or so of playing I've barely done a race. The barn finds are back again and as fun as ever to do, the addition of houses is a nice touch and gives you a more personal kind of landmark on the map. The car list is staggeringly huge and whilst licences prevent some brands from appearing you certainly don't lack for choice or variety. You unlock wheelspins or super wheelspins (three spins in one go) as you progress through the game and it's a brilliant mechanic because of the elation you feel when you win a big chunk of money or a really rare car. The idea to give VIP pass owners 2 free super spins a week is a brilliant idea and the main reason why I've probably played this at least once every week since it came out.

    Sound
    It's a personal thing but I'm not too fond of most of the soundtrack, in fact I'm on the classical station most of the time but it has to be said there is a ton of music that is wildly varied. The stations DJs are well written and they scripted in stuff that's happening in the game world which is a nice touch. If a barn find just unlocked you'll find them discussing it inbetween songs for example. The voice actors give a good performance. I mean they're hardly performing Shakespeare but you don't find yourself annoyed by them which in this sort of game is a triumph. The engines sound good but anybody with car knowledge will recognize they aren't realistic and there are some annoyances like the hybrid cars not having electric engine noise at low speed. A minor quibble but one none the less.

    Summary
    I really honestly cannot fault anything about FH4. Every aspect of it is brilliant, addictive and above all incredible amounts of fun. The constant addition to the world via car passes, season changes and the latest addition of a brilliant DLC in Fortune Island makes this one of the best deals in gaming and in my opinion the greatest racing game of all time.

My fiancee and I would take turns and it was as fun to watch the person try to keep their poorly handling super car on road. It was like a push your luck game to see how far someone could get without completely flipping the car or flying off the track accidentally doing donuts. There is an insane array of cars so even bad drivers like me can find a car that allows them to stay on the road and compete in races with the AI. Overall my game of the year and probably the best xbox one exclusive game to date which isn't saying much. Expand

    The Gameplay has changed only a slight bit. Houses, Quick Chat, Character design, What else? you can't even enter the houses, What are they for? One time rewards? Also, the animations are just cringy, They use Fortnite's dances that were copied/stolen from creators like Marlon Webb with his Dance that was back on Vine, it's literally retarded,

Businesses and jobs with crazier characters such as LaRacer, Express Delivery, Insurance and Bail, TopGear, DriftClub are added ... Don Thompson's pedant returns in Timeless FM but now he is more relaxed in his comments. The events are established in lines within the game #Forzathon which propose to the users connected to the server to overcome challenges together, going through rounds. The Trailblazer type race is attached which indicates a start and a goal without specifying a route making them very fun in cross country. The pilot is customizable in sex and clothing without restrictions, making each epic with very few combinations. Accessible achievements. Skill points are for cars and their benefits tree is very particular. The Fortune Island and Lego Championships expansions add hundreds more hours to the game. The Eliminator game mode is attached which is a Battle Royal with cars. It's on Game Pass

    The bad:
    There are so many events that take you away from the main objective. There are events like The Colossus that you only unlock at Road Racing level 20 and that nobody specifies. I am not returning the Drivatars lineup, nor the clubs / meeting points. Mixer is included in their menus (poor).

The whole weather system is a gimmick that i was excited about until actually playing the game. Having clothes in the wheelspin was a poor choice. The tuning system is the same but somehow different so I am assuming that has to do with new physics? One more negative, somehow it seems like the AI drivers are more accident prone than FH2 but that might just be me.

    Don't get me wrong, i enjoy the game but it isn't up to par with the series. I just bought FH3 last night to replace FH4 if that tells you anything. I hope that one is more like FH2 than this one.

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

I've really enjoined the season change, that is not as the other games, the entire map change: in winter with huge snow banks at the edge of the road and with frozen lakes on which you can drift races, the car becomes difficult to handle and the races take on a whole different difficulty, in autumn the road it is infested with orange leaves and the off road becomes muddy and difficult, while in summer the map shines rich in colors. The amount of events is simply ENORMOUS and also you can decide in what type of events you wanna take part and upgrade.

    Forza Horizon 4 is a free roaming racer in which you drive around a fictional Great Britain. The world is large and there are tons of events to choose from, including dirt racing and drag races, so there are a lot of things to do. The car list contains over 450 cars and new ones added through the car pass (i'll get back to this) and through car packs and expansions (Similar to The Sims 4 but a lot better). Now coming back to the car pass, its one of the two reasons for my lower score, there are so many great cars in the car pass that they should have added for free, I fell like the car pass ruins the game by making newer cars inaccessible. Now I would like to go to the second reason for my lower score, the Peel P50 and the BMW Isetta. Why? These two cars are light cars that can basically break the game. Sometimes, when you go on the leaderboard, the top spots are from the Peel P50 and the Isetta. It makes no sense, and it kind of ruins the game.

    So this is my review, but don't let it stop you from buying the game.

    lo único que le echo en falta es el antagonista final por así decirlo esa carrera donde te ganabas el auto insignia del juego.
