Forza Motorsport 4 AMLS Pack Review
The car pack is well worth the cash, only if you still play the game religiously, otherwise you are better off waiting for an, err, GOTY edition or something, which includes all the DLC.

Forza Motorsport 4 is the latest installment of the premiere arcade sim racing franchise for the Xbox360 console. It's like the Pepsi to Gran Turismo 5's Coca Cola. It's got a good mix of the cars you'd see everyday, along with cars that you would have to go to a museum (or wealthy person's garage)

Forza 4 is superb: a huge technical achievement for the Xbox, with the head-tracking lending an extra layer of control to the game. Turn 10 has succeeded in tuning up the already excellent Forza 3, resulting in one of the finest driving games ever created, and a game that — at last — really is better with Kinect.
