Even here there are changes from Forza 3 which are a good deal better, and put even Gran Turismo 5 to shame. Now, those who bought Forza 4 are mainly going to be interested in one feature of the game: the Career Mode. This mode alone is a great bonus for the overall package of the game. Personally, I felt that Autovista is a great thing for everyone from casual car fans to people with complete obsessions over the stunning realism depicted in the digital automotive pornography. However, it isn’t beyond the realm of possibility that future updates could add more cars, or paid DLC cars if Turn 10 so wishes, to utilize the Autovista mode. For the automotive buffs out there, the Autovista mode is a good deal of fun, even if it is a bit light on the cars depicted. There are also animations of start-up sequences for each car depicted in the Autovista mode but, unfortunately, Forza 4 does not let you freely rev the engine to your heart’s delight.Īfter the player has completed the criteria, one of the 26 cars is actually the Halo universe Warthog vehicle, which is unfortunately not drivable in Forza Motorsport 4 at all. On some he’s a bit light-hearted on others, extremely passionate. One of those points will give the player Jeremy Clarkson’s personal commentary on the car. In addition to that, cars featured in this mode also have points around the interior and exterior that provide technical facts and trivia about the cars. Before we get into the career mode, let’s quickly touch on the brand new Autovista mode that debuts for the first time in Forza Motorsport 4.Īutovista is a digital museum that encompasses a select 26 cars from the game’s inventory of cars and gives them a premium level of treatment where almost any door, panel, or cover can be opened. After all that is done, you are dropped into the career mode and get to choose your starter car to begin racing. In addition to the bonus, if you have any extremely rare cars - such as the unicorn-class cars - in your file, they are automatically added to your new Forza 4 file.

The import is based mainly on your Driver Level in Forza Motorsport 3, and the benefits will proportional to that. The introductory race in the Bernese Alps puts you in the seat of a Ferrari 458 Italia, pitted against a big list of other notable supercars, to give the player a taste of what’s to come in the future of your Forza Motorsport 4 career mode.Īfter this race, if you have a Forza Motorsport 3 save file, the game will ask if you would like to import your file over, which brings a cash bonus as well as rare cars over for use in your new career. Turn 10 also included a wonderfully narrated speech from Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear UK fame, making it a touching love letter to both the casual car fan and the motorsports fanatics. I know I personally loved Gran Turismo 5, but on loading up Forza Motorsport 4 I was met with one spectacular introduction. This was especially important due to Gran Turismo 5 impressing many reviewers around the world. We blame the Tumbeasts.įorza Motorsport 4 set their sights high to raise the bar on console simulation racing. There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore.

With the 4th edition of Forza finally here, I personally feel that it finally puts the fire under the GT series as a whole, and may even convert those who are on the fence about Gran Turismo 5. I am agnostic to both, but I will say that for the longest time Forza was the underdog between the two competing series of games. Forza as a series is a little more scalable in scope between the casual fans and hardened racing simulation crowd, with physically customizable aspects that let players make their cars truly unique to them. GT as a series caters to those who are more cutthroat and down to business, while not being quite as much fun for the casual gamer and/or automotive enthusiast. Granted, in some ways the two game lineages preach to two different camps of gamers. Last year, while the PlayStation camp awaited the much delayed Gran Turismo 5, Xbox 360 folks and soured Gran Turismo (GT) fans happily played Forza Motorsport 3 in preparation for the eventual arrival of the next installment. Behold some of the most beautiful endangered species of engineering in Forza Motorsport 4
