Forza 4 vs. Forza Horizon

[TakeshiLive]

I've been playing mostly FPSs for the past year or so, Skyrim is an exception, and I want to broaden my game library. XCOM and Ace Combat: AH is in the list but I can't decide between Forza 4 or Horizon.

One is true to the tried and tested Forza formula of top-notch track racing simulator. While the other is a beautiful open world sandbox to go really, really, really fast in.

Which one do you have and/or which do you prefer, Escapists?

I preferred Forza 4. Mainly because I like sim racers better and I really hated the whole "yeah man, extreme!" vibe they had going with horizon. That kinda shit in games always annoys me.

Plus Forza 4 has a better selection of cars.

I've always liked racing the E and F class cars in Forza 3 myself :3

I like both so it's hard to choose. Forza Horizon is more laid back but if you prefer more simulator in your game then Forza 4 would be the better choice.

The problem with racing simulators is that they all take place on the exact same tracks. You have a variety of different cars, but the tracks are all the same across the entire series. Horizon allows you to take your cars to the streets in never-before-raced roads and streets, all with the beautiful graphics and high framerate. It's, in my opinion, the better deal.
