Its an open world racer no other game in the same genre penalizes you for going off track or cutting corners.  It still is skill based just like all other racing games if you don't have driving skills you will come in dead last in every race.

To sum up: Driveclub and Horizon are two completely different games and should never be compared. You can't take mechanics from Horizon and use them to say that Horizon is better than Driveclub and you can't take Driveclub mechanics to say it's better than Horizon.

Driveclub is great because it's an entirely skill based racer.

Horizon is great because it's a fun driving game with races.

See, the competion never existed.

I totally agree that Horizon and Drive Club are totally different games that focus on totally different aspect of gaming.  With that said, there are comparisions that can be made for arcade racers which both are.  Handling is something that is very important to a racer and DC only has one option.  Nothing really wrong with that but it does pose the problem where if someone is not happy with how the game plays then they cannot change it for the better.  Content is also something that make these racers shine.  Its very clear that DC is very bare bones in this department.  If you just go by the games that have released before DC and what is coming in a few months DC probably will be the least in this category.  

I do wonder if you took the graphics away from DC would we see such defense of the game.  Oh well, when it release for PS+ I will be first in line to see if I like or not like its driving model.  I have played the FH 2 Demo and I really like the way the game and cars feel but did not do very well in the off road stuff so its not something I really care about.
