    How did they do with constructing the world? Are the roads good and could you spend a while just driving around?
    And a big part for you and i, on ramps. How are those? lol

    What level were you in FM4 and what cars come with that? I'm level 62 and I was wondering what cars to expect.

    Thanks

    No clue what level I was, but the best I got was an M3. Roads are pretty good, some smooth, some not. It's hard to drive slow, driving fast seems to be what the game is about, on ramps are cool, there is a legit highway from North-South with onramps every mile or so.

    The map seems small, if you look on the map and plan to go somewhere you seem to get there much quicker than you think you would.

    The MOST important thing I have found is that you NEED to put sports tires on EVERYTHING!!! 458 Spider feels like it's on ice stock, I put sports tires and upped the tire width by one and it actually feels like a real car now.

    I know, but I was hoping it was sped up in order to showcase it within the demo and not have to wait for the whole thing, it may be slightly sped up in the demo but it's still way too quick.

    The list of cars that you receive in FH for being a faithful Forza player has been revealed.

    FH takes the highest level you've reached in either Forza 3 or Forza 4 and gifts you the following cars.
    Whatever level you've reached you get that car and all the cars below that level.
    If you've reached level 50 you get the Aventador and all the other cars on the list :)

    You cannot sell the cars back to the game for the sticker value.
    They sell for 100 CR just like the gift cars in Forza 4.

    Lvl 1- '11 Cooper S

    Lvl 5- '11 Citroen DS3 Racing

    Lvl 10- '12 Dodge Charger SRT8

    Lvl 15- '69 Camaro SS

    Lvl 20- '08 BMW M3 E92

    Lvl 30- '12 Jag XKR-S

    Lvl 40- '09 Gumpert Apollo S

    Lvl 50- '12 Lambo Aventador LP700-4

    Yeah you get to 50 in no time.

    Can you change the watches you wear? The $2 green watch looks horrible and breaks in-car immersion for me :(

    No, but it seems that your clothes change as you progress. The game is set up with different levels in the form of "wristbands" the kind you would get at a real music festival. You start off with yellow->green->blue and that's where I am now in blue. Your character starts off in jeans and a t shirt and I noticed in the cut scene for getting my blue wristband that he now had some brown jacket on.

    So much of the game feels like a DIRT clone making a RALLY expansion seemed inevitable.

    Ok I'm sold on the Aventador J :D

    I preordered but no LCEs left. A bit disappointing but that's what I get for waiting.

    Anyone want to donate their codes to me :)

    I have it pre-ordered, don't think I'll be picking it up though. I may throw my early copy up and eBay and see how it does. Honestly, the game is cool, but it's the first game in awhile I just have no real interest in playing. In the past I've had that great feeling in the pit of my stomach when I can't wait to play something, but it's just not there. I got the last 2 Forza's at midnight and played straight through for about 24 hours, but I've barely put 5 hours into this one and I just don't even bother playing it now.

    There are some things that definitely need fixing.

    -Traffic Online
    -Ability to Control Headlights/Turn Signals
    -More stuff to do. I've barely played the game an I'm already basically done.

    I just had no want to play the game, there was nothing that I really wanted to do and was simply bored in a couple hours.
