This Fall will see the release of two rather anticipated racing games within a week of each other. Forza Horizon and Need For Speed: Most Wanted. Both games feature open-world racing and both are likely to appeal to the same audience. The major differentiation is the more aggressive car-combat feel of Need For Speed compared to Horizon which still features the Forza 4 simulation engine for those who want to take advantage of it.
I would love to buy both games at launch, but my current financial situation makes that rather difficult. Moreover I don't think that I'd want to play two largely similar racing games back-to-back like that. I'm interested in knowing which way the GB community is leaning with regards to this duel. I guess that Need For Speed will be the crowd favorite simply because it's not a 360 exclusive.
Personally I think I'm getting Horizon at launch and will pick up Most Wanted later on. Since Most Wanted won't be 60fps on consoles I'll probably wait for a price-cut on Steam and enjoy it in it's full 1080p 60fps glory.
