Forza Motorsport 4 Impressions From the OS Community

[CX1329]

I'm enjoying the variety in AI opponents. Some like to race clean and others will outright attempt to ram you off the track, and whereas some will just let you pass them, others will defend their position more aggressively.

Personally, I always strive to race as cleanly as possible, but I'm not afraid to get rough with AI drivers who play dirty.

Since I'm nearly the last person on Earth that likes American cars I'm probably the only person that feels that way.

Me too bud, me too!

yeah, people have already made lists of the reward cars and how much each costs. It's important info if you're going for some achievements, since some of the reward cars are worth millions. Level 30 gives you a choice of a $9 million dollar Ferarri or $5 million dollar shelby, which would be great to know.

New user here, big time racer though. Not much I can say that hasn't been said already though.

If you think it's easy, wait til you hit level 35 and up. Rossi ends up returning, worse than before.

Also, for anyone wondering about the ms speed wheel. It is a great mix of a wheel and regular controller. I would almost say it is just a 360 controller with the ps3 sixaxis tech built in, shaped like a u. Response in great, advanced settings for it, for sensitivity and dead zones is great, and the feel of the controller is amazing. Put the steering to simulation, and climb into a high hp rwd car, and have fun trying to keep her straight. It's a damn great controller option of the price.

I have a ms wireless wheel, as well as a playseat with a fanatec wheel, and gotta say, it's my favorite of them all. Only down sides are it takes regular batteries only (2 AA), it doesn't have a plug for a wired headset, so u can only use wireless headsets, and it's missing RB and LB buttons.

I will check this thread often if others have questions, so feel free to ask. I really think if you are a forza fan, a car fan, or a racing game fan you should give the speed wheel a few hours of your time.

I'm assuming you are talking about the Fanatec wheel. If so, buy rechargeables.

It's an evolution from Forza 3, but what a fun evolution. I'm only at level 7 or something, but I bought the Olds 442 since my dad is big into cars and is currently restoring one and have been using that in the early races.

I showed him the game and raced the Olds for him and he was like "Wow, that looks like the dash..." and asked him if the engine sound was accurate, and he said, "Yeah, that's pretty much how it sounds."

What I love is how well they seemed to model the power of the car. You can't just floor it coming out of a turn or that back end will come around. But it was really easy to race some of the less powerful cars.

I think this will be a racing game that I actually get close to finishing.
