Racing games don't get much bigger than this. Almost two years to the date since the well received Forza Motorsport 3 launched we have its successor. Forza Motorsport 4 (FM4). It has been taunted as the biggest, best and most feature packed assault on the racing genre to date.

If you have Kinect, this will be a great game, but as a racer, forget it, just steering, no braking or acceleration, so as a racer it will suck, unless you have the option where you can use your controller, also, will not be worth a buy if you don't have Kinect.

It concerns me and pains me deeply that, short of some amazing financial windfall, by the time I am anywhere near being able to afford a proper, full blown supercar, there won't be any left to buy.

Incredible vehicle and trackside visuals; Excellent; believable vehicle physics and handling; A host of entertaining and absorbing race modes; Robust; fully featured online community element

Kinect functionality seems superfluous

My Nissan Skyline (R33) is 14 years old. A pile of crap, really. I bought it for a mere 18,000 credits. A bargain for such a pacey ride, despite the mileage. It was meant to step in for my tuned Lancia in the Class A races where it didn't qualify, but then the money started rolling in and I felt the...

Brilliant car physics; wonderful online mode; well crafted Kinect support; loads of cars; great visuals; astonishing sound

Dumb artificial intelligence; exaggerated light effects

Brilliant game....love it all the way...Smooth graphics.A+ Game play.A great Xbox 360 only game with excellent graphics and plenty of game play and cars...and in lead with the top gear franchise of sorts...im looking forward to forza 5..

A great expansion pack to Forza 3 being marketed as a full game.

All of the same great racing and gameplay elements from Forza 3 are here; gain bonus credits and free cars by importing your Forza 3 save data

Almost nothing new added to the mixture; Kinect features stink

This is a good game, no two ways about it, but I feel it could have been so much more, that's why I'm giving four stars. The cars drive realistically as you would expect and in every make and model you can sense the difference.

Does one wind down a generation of hardware by resting on past success? That's the inevitable question you're left with after hours upon hours of tearing up asphalt in Turn 10's latest iteration of its Forza Motorsport franchise.

No lack of racing games lately, but when it comes to consoles – simulations that is – the battle is again between Gran Turismo 5 and Forza Motorsport 4. That each of the series has its strengths and weaknesses is clear, and who is the winner therefore largely depends on your personal preference.

Turn 10 set the bar pretty amazingly high with Forza 3 back in 2009, but have surpassed it pretty easily with Forza Motorsport 4. Forza 4 has far better graphics, a better career mode, an improved handling model that really changes the feel of the game, more cars on track, well implemented optional...
