Ever wanted to take a car from Forza 4/GT5 and just drive it balls our on the highway, street, or your favorite canyon road? Well, no other game in history will come as close to that as Forza Horizon.
No, it's not "just Need for Speed". It has full 100% Forza physics, customization (twin-turbo Gallardo highway/wangan racing anyone?), and on top of that, probably the biggest, most beautifully-rendered driving world ever conceived.
This isn't just an arcade TestDriveUnlimited clone. No, this is probably going to be the best free-roam racing game ever made for the console. Think about anything you'd like to do on any part of the world with any desirable car(or truck!) and BOOM: You can do it in Horizon! |
I HOPE this is true. however after watching videos of the game online I find it more and more to being like need for speed. For example, in FH, you can drive through grass, dirt, fences and over curbs in a 2013 Viper, all at about 160mph.... That is nothing like Forza, much closer to NFS. Another issue I have is in the videos you see cars having head on collisions at 150+ mph, slowing to about 120 and regaining speed almost immediately, no spinout, major crash, slide off of the road, nothing. This is yet again a feature of NFS and NOT Forza. Forza is not just about the driver control physics, (although that is a HUGE factor) its also about realistic driving experience, which FH clearly is NOT.
I am very hopeful for this game, I have been a Forza fan since the beginning. That being said the more and more I look into this game, the more disappointed I get.
