They need to sort the servers out first, the dlc is a load of rubbish unless you race in all classes, I remember paying for all the dlc's on f3 then they brought out the ultimate edition with all dlc content on for free, what a scam.
I only buy the cars needed now in x class and r1.
I'll race you if you dare 'fcr bustamoves'

I've played the demo, I like it, it's a move away from the usual Forza though.

Not too keen on the menu's they lack a bit of polish but it's a demo and menus are a minor thing really. I'll be buying it ASAP.

Physics are much better than test drive they were aweful the handling and graphics are close to forza 4 you can mod your cars like forza 4 however you can't tune them but you can still download graphics off the storefront etc there are a few gameplay videos on YouTube

Sounds like they've ripped off Test Drive Unlimited (Loves the first TDU but no.2 sucked)

So did this game end up being any good? I didn't buy Forza 4 and hardly touched Forza 3, number 2 was the best by far.

I really enjoyed Test Drive Unlimted and so wondered if this would be any good. Also what's the rallying like?

I loved forza 3 and 4, so much more with 4. But I do have horizon and played it for a good few hours and done most of what you can, its alright but not worth buying brand new for the price it was going for. All these games also have so much crap you can pay for in the game you really need to watch how much you can spend on these games.

I played it quite a lot for the first few weeks - 3 or 4 times a week - got upto about 50% completed but started to get bored. Not played it since the new year now.

Its a shame that games have now started to become shop fronts for other DLC. You could spend a fortune on DLC - 4 or 5 times the cost of the game prob.

I think it must have been tiger woods where I must have spent a good £90 in game.

I find Forza Horizon to be less serious than Forza 4 and I had great fun completing it I also added the rally add on pack and I also completed that very quickly too. It's a shame there wasn't more to the game because I completed it in a month and I don't actually spend much time playing games!
