As I said earlier, I think Forza 3 drives a little better - for my tastes - vs GT5:P. I find GT5:P feels more realistic, but somehow clinical. Forza 3 just feels a little more involving to me. I couldn't say which, from a sim perspective, is truly offering a better simulation of driving, just that the damage and physics of Forza 3 make me feel a little more 'there' than GT5:P.
Actually, I find Burnout Paradise has the best feel of all, even if it is arcadey. I just like driving in that game. It's crashes also feel very 'weighty' as well - in fact if I remember correctly a previous Digital Foundry article put crash phyics in Burnout ahead of Forza 3 (at least the Forza 3 demo). If I remember they put this down to the freedom Criteron has using its own cars vs licenced models.
In the end for a driving game for me its about how it feels and whether I enjoy it. I tend to love the look of GT games but feel the driving is a little clinical. Forza 2 I thought showed promise but was a little weak graphically which hurt the 'car porn' angle somewhat while something like Burnout feels like a happy medium.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
