the zenith of attention to detail when it comes to vehicles (chuds over at assetto corsa modding patreon pages still eat from this game), coupled with a fun campaign and an event list this game takes the cake for being the modernized gt4 experience for the 360 chuds, also can't forget the autovista where you are delighted with the commentaries of jeremy clarkson for every single supercar in the game (wish he didn't beat the shit out of top gear director), it's only downside is the impossible hardest difficulty and the fact that it has no wheel support, known issue for xbox racers since xbox itself didn't have native support.
My father and I used to raced with Fiat 500s in the Positano circuit all the time.
I don't think I've played with him since so this holds a special place in my heart

This is the closet thing we'll ever get to a Top Gear (2002-2015) video game
Vrooooooooooooooom
self-proclaimed "safe" racers when High Octane by Rhythm Beater kicks in
The best racing simulator game I've played so far.
The feeling of driving a car is fantastic, and the car customization is really good.
I love the rewind option, you always have a second chance when you are about to crash instead of having to restart the entire race from the beginning.
The cars look awesome, there's a lot of detail to them, and it's worth to mention that the graphics are ahead of their time, this game looks phenomenal!
The only downside to it is that it can get monotonous after a while because it's focused on being a simulator and it doesn't have many arcade aspects.
I have to say though, this was my first racing simulator and I really enjoyed it, so that's an achievement in itself.
Final Rating: "Great" ~ 8/10.

can we please make racing games with just a handful of completely normal cars. forza motorsport 4 gave me a taste of the holy grail by letting me attach a big fuckoff spoiler to a citroen c1. bring that shit back.
Having come back to finish what I started after about 10 years and with the memory of other Forza Motorsport titles fresh in my mind... yeah, it's obvious why everyone considers this the best one. Modern entries have an embarassing amount of content and attention to detail in comparison to it. Classy, packed full of content and just masterful at everything it sets out to do.
Was okay
One of the best Forza Motorsport games ever
prefiero los horizon
Childhood
The first forza game I've ever played
I wish it still had endurance races instead of those annoying Race Day events (congrats on winning this race! Now do it again but this time it’s 4 in the afternoon lol) but this is some of the best bang for your buck you’ll get in a recent(ish) racing game imo
Fun forza game
Playing infected on the Top Gear track was an elite experience.
The peak of Forza Motorsport, bar none. The game's flexibility in how you want to approach your progression (either through a structed singleplayer campaign, choosing from an event list, or even just free-racing online) has never been revisited by the series, which is a complete shame. If you really want to try a Forza Motorsport game, this would be my first recommendation.
Excellent physics and progression along with a great sense of style. I miss this game so much
I thought cars were cool when I was a kid. ahh childhood
o último forza bom da franquia motorsport.
As of rating this game, I have only completed the career mode and have not completed every race in the Event List, but here are my overall thoughts:
This game kept the best parts of Forza Motorsport 2 and 3 and polished them to perfection. The career was great, the tracks look amazing for an Xbox 360 and the music is so nostalgic to me. I used to play multiplayer in split screen with friends messing around on the Top Gear track and it was so fun! I definitely recommend this game to people who want to revisit games on the Xbox 360. This game isn't part of Xbox's Backwards Compatibility list, so you will need to own an Xbox 360 console in order to play.

One of the most ambitious racing games in 7th gen.
Forza motorsport 4 features a fantastic amount of content in the car catalog end. You get the classic, the iconic, the weird and everyday cars, a massive garage with a lot of brands, with vehicles that go from shitty chevy sparks to LMP1 icons, all of them with a detailed interior and with (basic) damage systems. A few selected vehicles are featured in the forzavista mode, similar to that in later titles but with a presentation and voiceover by top gear. This is just fantastic and an absolute treat to car lovers. All cars (minus the unicorn ones. I used a modded copy that included all the unicorn cars and all dlc) are available for quick play in the main menu.
It is probably the best looking racing game in the 360 hardware. The graphics are simply mindblowing, to see that sort of detail running 60 fps on 2005 hardware, the art style of certain tracks (nurburgring, suzuka, bernese alps, rally di something) make them super comfy to cruise around, the almost t cartoonish style reminds me much of outrun 2.
UI and presentation are very sober. Dry even, the music is honestly pretty boring and feels like stock music after coming from GT and Horizon titles.
The career mode is interesting to play at first but gets way too repetitive, and does its best to show the worst parts of the game on the later stages.
First of all is the AI being all sorts of bad, where the rival cars won't put a fight (you'll outrun them by turn 2), but are super aggressive and won't try not to crash you. Braking early 100% means you'll get rammed out of the way. This makes it feel like the flashback feature is a cop out of those situations rather than just a crutch for beginner players.
The track selection isn't stellar either and despite there being a few very good fictional ones, the game really insists you on playing the painfully boring ones over and over, like who wants to play Indianapolis and infineon over and over. 2
10 lap races back to back on an ugly and lame track is not fun, at all. This is specially true in the last season where the game just refuses to give you the more fun ones and has you doing the oval tracks over and over.
This is a shame and leaves a very bad impression to an otherwise good game.

Best forza game ever

Ta wapo
The best "sim" racer on the 360, tons of cars, tons of options, tons of amazing tracks, only real issues are the difficulty being a bit strange in the singleplayer stuff, and how repetitive it can get with the events.
this is the other nickel
Fuck Horizon. This is the best Forza!
Nice attention to detail and a much improved AI compared to previous games. I always prefer more the competitive side of Forza and this game was fun
Une partie de mon enfance c'était super beau pour l'époque
