I was completely the reverse. I loved the straights as I could open up a massive lead. Which disappeared almost instantly when I went into the twisties.
Forza Horizon?

I just pinned Darius to a wall and cruised 90% of the race.
Can you not give others the authority to do so in the current club?
Not looked, but need someone who will be active, which at the moment is only me lol...
If not then someone will have to get a hold of JJess I tried but no response.

Hi guys, I've been contemplating purchasing Horizon for a while now. I was waiting for the inevitable price drop of the Collector's Edition but it hasn't budged for months. Forza 4 allows you to purchase the Collector's Edition cars using MS points but is this also possible with Horizon? Oh and another thing is multiplayer/online active or dead?
The problem with Forza 4 is that the majority of the players are American and if I hope to play any decent multiplayer games I've always got to sit up so damn late. Does Horizon have this issue too? I noticed GT5 has a huge number of players online at time zones similar to mine but I just couldn't get into it, despite loving GT on PS1 and PS2.

You can get the collectors edition / VIP cars for Horizon like this too - http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/P...ars-Pack/1f84bcc0-5541-4fb8-bfd3-c50f4d1a662e
I can't speak for anyone here, but there's plenty of people playing the game still
Just beaten this, thoughts below:
+Decent graphics especially the sunset/rises
+Physics generally feel OK aside from the odd minor piece of vegetation made of solid granite that takes you from 200-0 instantaneously (like 90% of racing games)
+Good variety of vehicles and I like how the races have a range of restrictions, forcing you to experience a range of motors
+Upgrade mechanic works quite well meaning cars are viable over a range of events
+Great soundtrack and festival vibe
+Driving is generally good fun especially showcase events
+Race length is about right for me (everything under 10mins I think), I quite like these short events compared to GT5 which even putting Endurance to one side has some pretty mammoth ones
-Performance isn't great, it is noticeably jerky compared to PC racers
-Stats are a bit misleading e.g. you can have too vehicles with a 10 in a given stat that perform differently
-Characters have no... character and the trash-talk gets very dull very quickly
-Interface is frustrating at times e.g. when trying to find a certain car from your garage to suit a given event you can only sort by criteria rather than applying filters
-Started to feel a little repetitive towards the end, I don't really have much desire to go back and cleanup the remaining events I haven't won
Overall I enjoyed the game and feel it was worth the £15, feels kinda like TDU.

I agree with everything in your post so far, but I have not beaten this yet. I am enjoying it and think it is great value for the 13quid I got it for.
One thing I am struggling on is the hidden cars is there a time limit to get them in? Once they have been announced?
Soldato
Not that I recall no. Once the car is announced, you can start to find it but there's no time limit.One thing I am struggling on is the hidden cars is there a time limit to get them in? Once they have been announced?

IIRC I had to wait aaaages for the final hidden car radio broadcast. It's a little annoying because you can't get the car until they've been on the radio, even if you look online to get their locations.
No timelimit I could see despite the voiceover saying there is a 'race to find it' or some nonsense. I played at least a couple of hours before even going to the first one.
I only collected 6 or 7 of the 9 cars in the end, I think it is because my popularity rank is too low for them to appear (120th or something like that).

You need to play the game for an amount of time, #7 comes pretty late and then #8 and #9 are even later than that.
Just cruise around, I had all mine before i done every race event.
don't fast travel to any of the events, just drive to them to increase your roaming time and the announcment should pop up.
The cars aren't all that good tbh, so not missing anything unless of course you just want them for the collection.
New top gear pack is a bit crappy, apart from the Bowler EXR S they are all rubbish for actual racing/events.

That's disappointing, it was the first car pack I actually gave some thought to buying. The Transit seemed cool.

I really couldn't get into this, was hoping for something more like test drive unlimited, and it really wasn't. Will probably pick it up again at some point and give it another go, but there really wasn't much to pull me in at the start of the single player game.
