Given the time investment that serious driving games require, and that its predecessor is only about two years old, the fact that Forza 4 allows players to import their Forza Motorsport 3 profile (along with your vinyl work) is welcome, with rewards in the new title commensurate with progress made before. But a good deal of it is familiar, and those that sunk countless hours into Forza 3 may not find enough to get excited about. The experience is highly polished, and it’s difficult to imagine any gamer not finding something to like about it. It’s hard to argue that they’ve not succeeded, and Forza Motorsport 4 is about a complete package as a racing fan could hope for. From the moment that Top Gear‘s Jeremy Clarkson’s voice is first heard, you can tell that what developer Turn 10 is aiming for with the game is the most comprehensive driving experience available.
For some time now, the Forza series has succeeded at presenting a robust enough driving experience that players of all levels of either skill or interest in the genre can enjoy it.
Forza Motorsport 4 is another in a long list of games that serve as love letters to cars and car culture.
