Return of the king?It's been along time coming. We've waited patiently for the daddy to return. I have played GT5, I have toiled with NFS Shift, and enjoyed GRID, but for me nothing does racing like Forza Motorsport. From the very first game, Forza put th...

Review date: 29 October, 2011. Review by: Martyn Clayden The BBC's series, as we all know, is about two great romances - the love affair between humans and automobiles, and the love affair between Jeremy Clarkson and, well, Jeremy Clarkson. It's ther...
Pure racing excitement...
Depends if you like Clarkson...
Turn 10 Studios have chosen wisely and kept all that fans of the series love in the original while installing new online modes, adding a Kinect connection for more casual players and binging the Top Gear 'loving camera' look to hundreds of gleaming met...

Forza is the Xbox’s answer to the PlayStation’s Gran Turismo, and this fourth instalment is the best yet. It’s an evolution rather than a revolution (as Microsoft would have you believe) but plenty of effort – and love – has gone into making this one o...

Driving simulators - you either get them or you don't. For those of you who can't tell your carburettors from your crankshafts, there's perhaps little chance that anything written here will convince you to invest. Shame, because Forza 4 is perhaps the...
Perhaps one of the most telling aspects of this review is that there's been little cause to mention anything new or particularly original. Most of Forza 4's many assets are mere refinements and improvements over Forza 3. Aside from a sprinkling of new...

With Forza 3, Turn 10 studios finally cracked it, producing a game that improved on the rather bloodless racing that marred Forza 2 and finally matched Gran Turismo for cars, tracks and game modes. So, where to take the series next? Turn 10's answer is bo...

Like Gran Turismo 5, Forza 4 works better as a driving game for car nuts than a straight racer, but whatever minor shortcomings it has on the track are more than made up for by the generosity of the package. It looks beautiful, drives brilliantly and has...

Forza 4 represents the pinnacle of racing action on the Xbox 360, and actively expands the franchise to a marvellous new level of technical brilliance...
New modes, new cars, new tracks, new tyre physics, new net code and new graphics all combine to build on the successes of the previous title.
Could always be more cars, especially in Auto Vista mode. Two discs to install for the best experience. No Bathurst.
