I wonder if those who praise this game have at least a driving license. This game is one of the worst driving experiences I ever had. It's not an arcade, but it's not even close to simulation.
I drive fast cars and race IRL, and I have driven many cars, from small and old cars to newer, bigger, and more powerful ones.
And let me tell you, I Tested Peugeot 207 RC in the game and I slid off the road while driving 70 KM/h. Same with Ferrari F freaking 40!!! SERIOUSLY!??!?!
IRL, the same Peugeot 207 RC can do the same curve with 150km/h easily.
Oh and let's not start on how different the same car behaves in free drive and when you enter the race. Totally different handling and traction, which makes no sense cause you are driving races on the same freaking road. If it's an official race track, that would make some sense and a small difference, because a race track is different than the public road for many reasons. But here you drive on n public road, the same as when you are on free roam. So it makes no freaking sense whatsoever.
So, all in all, don't buy this crap. Maybe for kids that only ride bicycles. Even Need for Speed is better, cause you know it's an arcade, just drive into the wall. But forza horizon is pretending to be a simulation when their developers don't even know what that means.
