I have GT5. Just haven't had much time to play lately. Playing in 3 hockey leagues this winter seems to have taken a big chunk of my free time.

Not so much... they had a GT5 demo at the Nissan booth in Daytona, Dad & I both finished last... Trevor then promptly schooled us big time and was 1st and almost lapping them... in a 2 lap race!!

Is Forza 4 worth buying?? I have the downloaded demo on the xbox, it seems ok with the few cars you can drive... is it comparable to GT5... worth paying for Xbox live?

I really enjoy it, but I haven't played GT5 so it's hard to make the comparison
If you have both 360 and PS3, I'd buy GT5 just because the majority already has it

I am enjoying Forza 4 a lot. It is probably the best driving game I have played. However, I can't compare it to GT5 as I have not played any of the GT series since GT2. From reading all the threads here about GT5, I think it might be a little more simulator like while Forza is a little more arcade-ish. F4 is by far the most simulator like of all the 360 racing games I have played though - it isn't arcade-ish like the Need for Speed series for example. I'm sure there are a ton of comparisons between the F4 and GT5 online. Every time I read one of the GT5 threads on this forum, I think I should go buy a PS3. But I can't justify spending that much $$ just to play the one game online. Not when I already have a lot of money invested in the 360.

To "complete" Forza 4, takes a significant amount of time. I am only 14.5% through all the events and I have 35+ hours of driving time (the game keeps track of all these stats). It is starting to feel like a bit of a grind though. I have only played Forza 4 online a few times. I personally do not find it that much fun. About half the people are really good and you have no chance of catching them, the other half are really bad and just keep plowing into you in the 1st corner (I'm sure this happens online in GT5 also).

FYI: When I got my copy of Forza 4 at Christmas, it did have a 1 month Xbox Live Gold membership with it. You can sometimes find the gold memberships on sale too, a couple weeks ago Superstore was selling the year membership for $35.

I've played most of the NFS series, Forza 3 & 4, Gran Turismo 3, 4, 5 and iRacing.

iRacing and GT4 / GT5 are the only ones you could possibly call "simulators". The braking sensation is much better in iRacing when compared to GT5, but I like the way GT5 feels when the car is shifting it's weight. I find the cars slide around too much with iRacing, but the New Tire Model last week was a step in the right direction.

For a pure racing sim, it's iRacing. For something that's 95% as close, but much more fun (IMHO) and easier to use it's GT5.

Next would be the Forza 4 & the NFS Shift series, but they are a BIG step back from GT5 and iRacing. I played Forza 4 on hard, all driving aids off, with a controller, and I was easily able to drift a damaged 458 around a turn at 200kph. It was too arcade-y for my liking. Then at the end of the spectrum are the other NFS series, "Most Wanted / Underground / etc) which are a small step above pure "arcade" games.

You don't have to "complete" GT5 to have fun, just the license tests so that you can drive any car you want. That only takes a few days. However, I'm 99% "complete", and I've driven 170,086km. (Even at an average speed of 200km that's a lot of time).
Keep in mind there are challenges in GT5 like the 24hrs of Le Mans and 24hrs of Nürburgring, which don't need to be completed, but I had a lot of fun doing them with friends.
