"Forza Horizon takes the Forza franchise in a new direction, moving away from the very similar Forza Motorsport 3 and 4 of the past years, into an open world. You're no longer tied to familiar tracks: the world now becomes your oyster.
For some, Forza Horizon might be too much of a departure from the driving game they know and love. You'll have less time to learn the subtleties of a particular circuit and you'll spend more time changing cars and, yes, you'll spend more time playing with aspects of the game are aren't straight competitive racing."
