just googled the speed wheel. i reckon you've just brought the total sold to 1 :pac:

honestly for something so gimmicky and expensive you'd be better off looking on ebay for a second hand fanatec.

It suits my needs.

Reviews were good.

No room for the Fanatec.

Yep, all the benchmark ones are there as part of the launch pack. Haven't loaded them up but assume they're the very same

I only played soccer with 8 people but that was crazy enough. Its more down to luck than skill but demolition derbys are fun I thought it might be restricted to certain cars but its free choice

is the launch pack free? ive only gotten the standard this time around

Anyone know if there taking driver san francisco anywhere as a trade in? or how much theyd give for it?

I traded Driver SF at HMV last week and got €31 credit for it, not sure if that still applies though.

Rivals mode is great craic, it was definitely worth the wait!

Very tempted by HMV's price of €41.99 let's hope they keep that up for the flood of new stuff in the next while.

Bought this today and I am pretty underwhelmed to be honest. It feels the exact same as Forza 3.

All cars drive very similarly too.

ShadowHearth

Hmmmmmmm so far mixed bag of emotions.

I don't know if visually I see any difference. I don't care autovista bull****, I am not racing there, so it's just burden for me.

I like improved physics. When you throw are sliding with mx5 it feels right, if you won't control it nicely it will roughly throw you back like in real car.

That 1 on 1 battle with traffic is best thing in forza 4. Alot of fun. Extra traffic adds quite interesting moments.


One thing I don't like: it's all over the shop!!!! I wanted to take mx5 and do as much as possible events with it, but in new system it makes you change it every single race. Which even more weird I entered yaris s battle with mx5... I was like wtf?

I really dont like that jumping from one event in to other... Or I don't understand something.

ShadowHearth

One more thing: the are waaaaay to generous with credits... I am level 7 and got 171k....

rusty_racer94

Just got my copy today, it is on it's way home.
Super excited!!

ShadowHearth

Rivals section is awesome. Top gear in KIA!!! Woot!! Did it in 1.48 something

No, I really should've though.

As has been mentioned, they are way too generous with the credits also.

I downloaded the Bonus Track Pack and did a lap in the kia around the topgear track (1:49.87) but when i go to play car soccer it says it is not installed. Any help appreciated

zero19

Yeah i agree, the credits thing is a pity. Also it doesn't take long to earn enough manufacturer affinity to get nearly all parts for free that's a bit silly and you end up with even more money.

The TV advert music.. illuminati worship-hop using King Crimson's "21st century schizoid man". Oxymoron much?! hardly bedfellows. Either an insult or an epic fail

I don't think the top gear track is part of that pack, isn't it standard?

Credits are very easy to get, yeah. Maybe they're trying to stop people selling credits?

I presume z should be in the back, but nothing. Maybe it's something that must be won, not bought.
