About the Game
Forza Motorsport 4 is the fourth installment in the Xbox exclusive race simulation series. It holds many car and race licenses and allows players to race in a realistic setting. The main career mode is now called World Tour Mode and takes players to different races on locations all over the world. Opponents now have adaptable AI based on players' performance.
Gameplay & Core Systems
This means that players are encouraged to outbrake them instead rather than overtakes on a straight section. In the rivals mode players race against friends and online players, even when they are offline, by trying to beat the time of their ghosts. Players earn credits by beating them at different events, and the bonus is determined by the rival's position on the leaderboard and the size of the board. Cars no longer level up like in a previous entries. Instead, players receive manufacturer specific upgrades, called affinity levels.
Standout Features
- There are three new real races added to the franchise: Hockenheimring, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Infineon Raceway, along with a fictional one: Bernese Alps.
- Players can create clubs and share cars in garages among club members.
