Synopsis and Features

Forza Motorsport 4 is a racing simulation game and is the best one in its class. The game offers precision detail for every car available on the game. From body graphics, brakes to even the engine roar everything is perfected in this racing game.

Developed by Turn 10 Studios and published by Microsoft Studios, Forza creates a racing atmosphere of its own. You can start your racing career by playing the World Tour mode. This mode is interesting as it allows you to use any car but not the location. The locations are randomly selected based on the cars you choose.

If you are first time user or a long-time lover of Forza, with the new game you will be at ease as it has many new additions to suit your level of driving within the game. Options like assisted braking and steering, traction control and rewind allow you to fine-tune your driving skills so that you can play without making mistakes. You can create car clubs and share your cars with your club-mates.

The races in the game include the original bumper to bumper races, Drift, Autocross, and multiple-heat races. Each event is different from another and requires a particular level of skill set to win it. Winning a race will earn you points that you can save up to buy expensive cars.

If you feel like the wait is too long to buy expensive cars, you can get new cars by levelling up. Each level-up as a driver will earn you a car and for the first time in the series you can select the car you want on each level. The strength of Forza motorsport lies in its cars, and the same is followed in this game too. You get to ride cars from across the world that include classic British sports cars, Hollywood legends, JDM favourites, German super sedans, American muscle cars and exotic Italian cars.

The gameplay offers new options where you get cash bonuses and discounts on car upgrades if you stay loyal to a particular car manufacturer. Stay loyal long enough and you can get those upgrades for free. The game features several Autovista model based cars that allows you to check the interiors of the cars. This is a great experience as you get to know not only how the car feels while riding, but also how the make and finishing is on the inside.

The game introduces a new head tracking feature that allows you to look around corners, making it easier to drive the car. The opponent AI has been tweaked and now adjusts according to your driving. If you are an expert and are making no mistakes during turns, the AI will understand it and tweak up their cars and match to your level. This gives a much better, immersive and challenging gameplay environment that assists in excelling your driving skills.

The game allows the use of a Kinect sensor, allowing you to use hand gestures to control your car and other gameplay elements. Turn 10 has paid every attention to detail as the sound in Forza Motorsport is just incredible. From the low hum of a Bugatti engine to the roar of a Bentley, Forza has great sound mechanics that make the game a joy to play with.
