Well kinect thing is very responsive but i wont be using it, not sussed out head tracking yet its on but nothings happening LOL
So far ive won 2 in my Imba Vauxhall Agila, and instead of winning a prize i get to pick from 6 cars
i now got a Honda FIT or Jazz as we know it.
It knew about my forza 3 and inported it, BUT it doesnt reflect it as my driver level you still start at 1 although on 3 it said level 10 importing and unlocked 3 new cars for me.
So far its good, love it,

Hoping mine is there when I got home, bought another Xbox so I dotn have to share with the kids 
Plugged it in last night and fired Forza 3 up to test it, god I so much prefer it to GT5, the menus are so much slicker, dont think I will play GT5 again if Forza 4 is as they keep sayign is better than 3 by a margin, never gelled with GT5, the tuning wasn't as good, no engine/drive-train swaps, didnt feel accurate in that respect, all that dickign about winning tickets for cars, nah, Forza is where its at, and they bring them out on time, and all the cars have an inside as well as an outside, the non premium cars felt like they were just grabbed from GT4 and not touched, dont see where all the time went.

1 good thing is Kinect, so remember the times when your playing and you actually lean into the couch cos you think its gonna make the car turn more.
Well if you switch kinect on and just have tracking enabled, the car doesnt turn but the whole view moves LOL
really funky
And best thing is i was eating a chip butty and at bottom it says SAY XBOX so i did and up popps menu from there i can say TUNE GARAGE BUy CARS and guess what it jumps to that area, fantastic

EA own th rights to putting Porsche in video games now, the makers of Forza tried to come to a deal with them but it didn't happen, there was an article on it on IGN.com a few weeks ago

Great game, got my unlock code for the 2011 Subaru by email today so shall be using that tonight.
Like others I've been caning round the top gear test track but have also played car football too!
Much better than other incarnations in my view and there seems to be so much more to it.
The superficial damage is now a bit more realistic too.

I went to the shops this morning to pick up a copy but the only parking space was on the wrong side of the car park.
Being a lazy git, I decided to go for a spirited drive in the Scoob instead

Arrived this morning and I am very pleased with it,
First impressions, it feels cohesive and realistic, the load times are rapid, the menus are easy to navigate and you progress quite quickly, graphics are better but I guess they are now struggling with the limitations fo the hardware so no quantum leaps, however when in the garage modes the cars are the best I have ever seen in a game, feel like you could touch them they are so detailed.
The main improvement I reckon is the sound, turn the crappy music off (who ever listens to it when pressing on in a real car and why would you listen in a race, even in a game ?) but the engine sounds are fantastic, better than any game before I would say, I bought a Z3M Coupe and it sounds like one, properly like one, turn the sound up and it is about as realistic as you would get without actually buying, one, I love the fact you can swap the engine out so I did and bought a twin turboed V8 and added all the tuning parts and it sound apocalyptic, it howls and when you back off it pops and bangs, you can hear the wastegates chattering away as well, I always use the in car view as to be honest I rarely drive my road car from 15 feet behind and ten feet up so for a race game, inside is always the most realistic and the interiors are modelled well, with the sound and the cockpit it gives the best sense of realism I have encountered in a game.
The Z3M felt fantastic when tuned, complete animal but not just all wheelspin, its how you would imagine one would be but int he past mega powered cars in games were just unusable, with this you get a sense of it is right on the ragged edge of grip and its very tail happy but it feels like you would imagine if you know what I mean.
The tuning is better as mentioned with the engine swaps, which I missed when I went to GT5, the tunign it GT5 felt like a afterthought and not tailored to each car.
Would be quite happy to part ex GT5 now, doubt I will ever play it again.

Is there an F1 race in Forza 4? Just doing the F1 races in GT5 and Suzuka in the pouring rain for 20 laps is mental.
Anyone done the race down the mountain events in Forza 4 which apparently have traffic for you to navigate? Sounds very Tokyo Drift like.

The events with traffic are ok but not done many yet, Forza also now has multi car class races at same time, so for example there's 6 cars in class S and at same time there are another 6 cars on the track in class C, each class is only racing against their own class, kinda feels like a track day
