Finally got a chance to play the Forza 6 demo. Man that Brickyard F1 race is insane!
Racing in the rain in Forza is no joke. It impacts your handling to a much higher degree than in DC, which I guess should be a given considering DC is an arcade racer and Forza a sim. Just hitting a puddle in the game can send you careening off the track. It's awesome. Here is me first making a Gran Turismo style bumper car pass as I underestimate how far you slide on the wet track, followed by me later almost spinning out via water puddle:

Visually I would give the effects edge to DC, which again is a given considering many reasons already discussed, most important being hardware and gearing towards visuals versus frame rate. In terms of actual gameplay though, Forza rain effects win by a mile versus what I remember of DC before I sold it. The rain effects were gorgeous, but the gameplay impact not so much.
