It's pretty nice, but does suffer from the usual Forza hype. While the scenery is much improved (and I mean that) the cars still lack the convincing lighting and reflections of other games. They all have this sort of wet look to them, as they did in Forza 3. Shame. The sounds while pleasant aren't wholly correct but I can forgive that and appreciate not many people are fortunate enough to be able to draw the comparison between the exhaust note of a real Cinque and a virtual one.
Couple of technical imperfections, the driver reaches to the floor to change gear in the F10 M5.. not sure why as it's DSG. Again while in the M5 you will find while driving uphill in interior view that if you look to your right only half the car casts a shadow. Gear changes in the 458, while he does move his fingers he seems to be pushing the paddles rather than pulling them. Damage, as crap as to be expected but I don't mind that. These are nitpicking points though, the game is solid to play and I'm sure once we discover a money glitch or hex it I'll have hours of fun.
Nope, it's dreadful. Half the people I know can't get it right now, the UK has just clocked off work and school and it's flooded it. There are other distance and local issues that affect Tim in particular, but you wouldn't have known that so it's cool.
