| NightDragon83 said: There's 2 problems with Forza Horizon... the first is that it's been released just a year after the last major installment in the franchise, Forza 4. The second is that it's a more arcade-y racer in an already crowded field of arcade-style racers, and fans of the series prefer the driving simulation, realism and depth that the franchise is known for. It's a solid game overall, much better than NFS: Most Wanted for example (which is also going for around $25 for Black Friday weekend). I just question M$'s decision to release the game so soon after the last one and right in the middle of a crowded holiday field. Would have been better if they held this one off for a spring or summer release to help tide 360 gamers over until the Next Box potentially launches next fall. |
Maybe much better from a sim racers perspective. Not from an arcade perspective. I like both sim and arcade but grew bored of FH while still playing MW. MW has a much better sense of speed, cop chases, tons of crazy jumps, large open areas to explore that make the map seem much larger then it is, more collectibles and speed cameras to find, and above all chaotic racing action with spectacular crashes. It's not quite as good as Burnout paradise or NFS hot pursuit, yet still a lot more entertaining then FH if you're looking for an open road arcade type experience.
