Who is the most devout FM2/3 racer here?
Would peeps feel more comfortable with a bigger club with peeps from here and day Beyond3D (the other forum I belong to which has about 10 FM4 players)?
Whoever is the most devoted FM4 gamer should start a new thread, AFTER release, and keep track of who has the games and setup some race nights.

Forza Motorsport 4 is authentic yet accessible, educating, entertaining, occasionally silly, always spectacular, but most importantly, faster and more thrilling than riding a V12-powered rollercoaster with no restraints.
Eurogamer Spain

Forza 4 wins the race because it's much more than just the cold numbers of a car database: it's a bigger concept, one based on pure passion for cars and the motor world. If Forza 3 was the best driving game for the Xbox 360, Forza 4 is the best driving game of this generation.

Thanks to its stunning visuals, richness of content and deep gameplay mechanics, Forza Motorsport 4 proves to be the best racing game currently available on the market. If you're a fan of the genre you really can't miss it.

Forza 4 is back in good shape with more content than ever before and many new features, including Kinect integration for the fun, the Autovista mode for car lovers, the Rival mode for competition, and much more... but we will first remember its technical performance (the game looks great and runs continuously at 60 fps) and its superb gameplay, which provides renewed physics for exceptional driving sensations. We can forgive its few flaws and raise our thumbs up: it is impossible to miss it if you're a fan of racing games.

Automobile love in a box...A game that seems to have covered every base perfectly. They've also managed to add something else that you'll never see as a bulletpoint on a box: personality. Forza 4 is so much more lively, and it shows so much more character than its predecessor. The game practically shines with signature touches that show that the developers truly loved making it.

Jaw-droppingly beautiful...If you are into hotting up rice-rockets, drag racing supercharged yank-tanks, or delicately carving through the twists in a finely tuned Italian thoroughbred, you'll find Forza 4 to be the best console racing title around.
Official Xbox Magazine

Put simply, though, no other car game on Xbox - and we'd dare say any other platform - even approaches Forza 4's depth, versatility, beauty, and community support. It's so comprehensive that there's probably nowhere for the series to go from here - except onto the inevitable Xbox 720. Until then, enjoy every minute of this ride.
Worth Playing

Forza Motorsport 4 feels like a proper sequel for the series instead of a glorified car roster update; it's not quite so easy given how much you could do and experience in the previous game.
Strategy Informer

It's faster and more intense than ever before, with tangible improvements to every facet. The word forza is used to cheer competitors at sporting events: it's about enthusiasm and passion. Forza 4 succeeds because it distils automotive passion into a form that anyone- not just petrolheads- will find enthralling.
IGN

The improved visuals, the added cars on track, the wealth of new race types, the tweaked AI and closer racing, the ferocious sound and superior sense of speed, the even better livery editor, the lot. With Forza 4 Turn 10 has crafted a driving game like no other; it's hands-down this generation's premier racing simulator.

The handling in Forza Motorsport 4 is a huge step up from its predecessor, giving you an unprecedented level of control and feel for the car.

Forza 4 manages to be a great simulator and an addictive game at the same time. It knows how to entertain, reward and engage the players, with an intelligent career mode, and its new online features are great. Hands down the best racing game on the Xbox 360.
MondoXbox

An amazing title, greatly improved both in gameplay, simulation and graphics, and with some great additions like the stunning Autovista mode. We would have loved if the developers pushed the envelope further by adding night racing and weather conditions, but it's nevertheless an unmissable buy for every motorsports lover.

Forza Motorsport 4 offers an even better driving experience than its predecessor: It comes with more cars, improved driving physics and AI , tons of options, great online features and high detailed graphics. Compared with 2009-released Forza Motorsport 3 improvements can be found in almost every aspect of the Game. At the moment Forza Motorsport 4 is not only the best racing game for the Xbox 360 - it's the best driving game available for any console.

Although the features that Forza Motorsport 4 offers are nothing new from previous iterations, they all team up again in a fantastic package. The game is one of the finest racing games ever.
Game Informer

The changes in Forza 4 I find most exciting don't alter this setup dramatically, and yet with just a few tweaks Forza 4 feels like a fresh experience. It's re-invigorated, and every turn is infectious and alluring.
GamingXP

Forza Motorsport 4 offers great racing action for controller users, in addition to a weak, thus pointless, Kinect racing mode. Autovista on the other hand is a brilliant Kinect bonus feature highlighting the sensor's potential. Brilliant physics engine, great looks and an incredible selection of cars make Forza Motorsport 4 a must-buy for Xbox 360 racing fans.

Boasting unrivalled visuals, an engaging career mode, fluid, responsive gameplay, and plenty of features to boot, the only real criticism we have is that they possibly haven't advanced the series as much as we'd have liked them to have done for the fourth iteration.

Forza Motorsport 4 may be an evolution from its third installment, but Turn 10 managed to make almost everything better from its previous efforts. It could be more challenging and rain is still missing, but all in all this is one of the finest racing games ever.

Turn 10's sublime handling model accommodates newcomers and veterans alike, a system that can be tweaked to sit anywhere between 'real car' and 'videogame' settings as the player sees fit. Online functionality is as impressive as ever too, the auction house and plethora of racing options joined by Autolog-style Rivals hot lap challenges to ensure that Forza 4 genuinely has the ability to last forever.

Forza Motorsport 4 is a seal of quality and the racer of the year.

An extraordinarily tight race of the gaming titans continues. In the next round, Forza is passing Gran Turismo by an inch through the finish line because it has more clinging concept, sturdy multiplayer menu and an incredibly great number of car activities on/off the track. You won't find more addicting and everlasting racing game these days.
Eurogamer Sweden

Forza Motorsport 4 is a work of love and an absolute gem of a racing game. The feel of the actual racing has been tuned somewhat and now feels a little more playful.There?s realy not a whole lot of new content compared to the last entry in the series, but the polish and improved graphics is incredible. If you'er only going to get one racing game this year, this should be it.
Gameplanet

For all the minor problems at hand, Forza Motorsport 4 is the most complete car experience available today. Vast in scope, with many new features, it is slickly present and well executed. Other titles will cater to hardcore racing specialities better, but for those looking to race, tweak, tune and participate in a community, this fourth iteration offers more than enough entertainment.

Forza Motorsport 4 is a racing game that tries to be all things to all people, and you know what? It actually pulls it off.

It may not have the most cars, but it's certainly the most enjoyable driving simulation experience you'll find this year.

Welcoming, slick and meticulously built in order to give its audience what it most desires. Because whether it's the feel of the road, the fury of competition or good old fashioned wish fulfilment, Forza 4 really does have you covered.

Forza 4 is our new racing favourite. Apart from some minor A.I. issues, it's almost perfect.
Everyeye.it

Forza Motorsport 4 goes beyond any driving simulation on consoles. Turn 10 added some fresh mechanics to a career mode that, apart some extras, remains the same (in terms of event types), and developed a new grip system for the tires that reaches a new level of driving simulation.
VideoGamer
90
Where former entries in the series took themselves a little too seriously, this game likes to humour, dazzle and entertain, losing none of its technical competence but swapping stoic sterility for fun. Forza Motorsport 4 is fiery, passionate and thrilling - much like the 458 Italia on the front cover.
Metro GameCentral

Achingly beautiful, tyre-shredding action and enough new features to keep the faithful on board. Occasional frustrations, but is easily the most complete racing experience available today.
Joystiq

The level of synergy between Career and multiplayer feels precise and balanced; one constantly bolsters the other, yet neither take priority or feel parasitic. It's an equalized, symbiotic relationship that neither hampers nor enables, and players that prefer one over the other need not worry over missing out.
Games Radar (in-house)

Forza Motorsport 4 is a big step forward from Forza Motorsport 3 in almost every way. The only flaw is the nonadjustable, overaggressive AI that occasionally makes the game overly frustrating. The pros far outweigh the single con though, and this is the new standard for racing sims.
Eurogamer
90
The series' steely heart has softened, revealing a game that's as exhaustive as it is exhilarating and that's now been infused with a little extra passion. Forza has always been a series to admire, but now it's a little easier to fall in love with it too.
IncGamers

A massive game boasting near endless replay value alongside all manner of improvements over previous entries in the series. The best racing sim of this generation.

A fabulously rewarding drive and the finest Forza yet, but one that comes with an Advisory Notice: more single-player focus and diversity will be needed next time out to prevent the franchise from suffering a potential misfire.
GameSpot

Like a new car, Forza Motorsport 4 doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does refine and improve upon what came before it. Tat's no small achievement given how truly special Forza 3 was.
Edge Magazine

On balance, the fourth Forza gets things right. The franchise has earned its place at the forefront of console racing sims and has done more for advancing the social/online element than any of its rivals.
Giant Bomb
80
It's still a beautiful game and it's probably the world's best driving simulator, at least for consoles, but a lot of Forza 4's changes feel incremental at best. The game includes many of the same tracks found in previous installments, and I found myself getting a very "annual sports game update" vibe off of it. With that in mind, it seems like the game's most die-hard fans and people who didn't play the previous Forza will get the most out of Forza 4.

Nowadays I only play games on weekends, not as much time as I had a bit over a year ago.

And I like the look of this game. If I cared about racers, I'd buy it, and woo it, seductively.

Another thing I noticed is the lack of an AI difficulty setting in career, wtf? I reread an article, and now the AI is supposed to adapt and make a competitive race. I don't know, I'm hoping it really works, but I have no faith in AI adaptation BS talk. If after another season I don't see improvements in there I'll be disappointed. I love the leveling system, in just an hour of playing, this game has felt a lot more rewarding than........GT5. T10 has done an incredible job here. I specially like being able to choose from a set of gift cars, genius! Affinity level? Another great idea.
I still don't get the world tour, seems like a bunch of random races that fit my set of cars--I liked the former "new track, new car, same car?" approach from FM3 . I need to dig for that mapping of *all* the events, we saw it in previews and stuff, I'm thinking playing through that would make more sense, or maybe once I fully understand world tour I'll start to like it more.
But so far overall loving it, T10 has delivered, wow!
Forgot to mention sound, it's even better, damn! New tire sounds too, wow!
