Thumbs up Forza Horizon

Been hanging for this game since the day they announced it, admittedly my expectations haven't been high. The reviews are starting to come in and it's looking good! Anyone else going to be picking this up?

The review mentioned that barn finds feature was a bit under utilised and slightly disappointing, but that may improve with updates and dlc. I'm just trying to work out if the limited edition version of the game is worth the extra cost?

Pre-ordered my copy of the collectors edition this morning. Forza is the only reason I keep my xbox.

I'm much the same. My Forza disk hasn't left the xbox tray for quite a while.

Forza has been boring me as of late, so I went and bought F1 2012 so I can use it with my car seat simulator properly, oh and a new ps3 to go with it

I played the Forza Horizon demo... I was extremely underwhelmed. It's just like NFS ProStreet and NFS Undercover put together (without the cops) and Forza's upgrades, driving assists and damage bolted on.

It didn't feel like a traditional Forza. But that's probably because of the free-roam aspect, and the fact that on the street courses there are shortcuts etc. If you have the braking only line on (which I do on new tracks) it directs you away from shortcuts to follow the regular course. So if you aren't quick enough, the AI will take the shortcuts and leave you in two minds and end up spinning out or crashing into something.
