It's good! :happy2: I ordered it with the new Speed Wheel thing - I was sceptical at first but there's a greater degree of control over the steering than with the normal controller - and it's not as permanent or as expensive as a 'proper' wheel!

I had to take a photograph of the TV as I don't have Xbox Gold at the moment so can't upload images from the game! :ashamed:

I have to agree, I am thinking of switching to the X-Box side now after seeing this game, my PS3 won't be happy  :signLOL:

*Meant to add, whats the selection of cars like? as good as GT5?

So is this just a polished version of Forza 3?
Title: Re: Forza 4
Post by: marka87uk on October 14, 2011, 11:54:29 pm
Basically, yes!

But Forza 3 didn't have Top Gear content! :wink:

The selection of cars is very good, but sadly no Porsche...

Gotta be honest, I was very disappointed in this game. Hardly any new cars, a couple of new tracks and that was it. The graphics are a bit better but it's definitely not £40 worth of game IMO. Luckily I got my money back.

arrived in the post this morning from Amazonia, along with the Speed Wheel !!!  :indifferent:

bought it for hubby as he bought me the GTi last month  :drool:

Post by: marka87uk on October 15, 2011, 02:09:44 pm
I've found the Speed Wheel to be surprisingly good when racing, but the lack of LB and RB buttons is very annoying! How they could have left them out when some Forza 4 menus require them is beyond me!

I can see why you would say there's not much difference between this and FM3 but I like it nonetheless!

I saw that as I was modding my RS. Settled for 4WD and some toys.

Supercharged Camaro is quite entertaining.  :driver:

Shame the multiplayer is glitchy as hell. Just got kicked off as the connection was lost (i was actually playing well for the first round ever) and now its just stuck on the main menu, "loading" in the bottom right corner but everything else is greyed out!

I swapped a PS3 slimline that I was not using for a Xbox360 just for Forza 4.
I still have a PS3 for GT5.
Forza is different to GT5 but I am not sure its better.
If I am honest I would say graphically GT5 is marginally better.
I think come Xmas the 360 will be on the 'bay with the game.

I'm not so sure, i think forza tramples all over gt5.  Might dig it out and have a go but remember being terribly disappointed by GT5.  Good job I love uncharted 3 or there would be no reason to keep the ps3

The scenery is good.
The cars look cartoonish in the actual game compared to GT5.
Not much in it if I am honest.
Its not worth rushing out to buy the other if you have either.
Its good to have both, if you are lucky, for the different tracks.
Is there going to be a new version of PGR?
