Side by side, the tracks on Forza 5 feel different to me when compared to Forza 4. The quality of the cars is incredible, but don't expect the same amount of "dreams" to choose from. The concept of "Drive Your Dream" from Forza 4 seems to have been lost in the transition to the next-gen console. What you get instead is significantly less cars, but the quality and detail put into each has been given a next-gen makeover.
I do have one gripe that continues to irk me: some of the modification options are too generic. For instance, I've got an Eagle Talon TSi AWD (yes, on purpose lol), and let's say I want to do an engine or drivetrain swap. Under each respective category are 3 options to choose from, yet none of them have any explanation of what the upgrade consists of. You'll see a different displacement and the performance effects it will have in each category, but nothing as far as "this is what you're installing". Same for if you wanted to do a "quick upgrade" to make your car competitive under a certain tier...the game no longer gives you the option to list out what parts you're committing to purchase and install. What is this...a $40k mystery cracker jack prize?
For comparison, on Forza 4 I have an Audi Q7 that I upgraded. When I went to the engine conversion section, the description of the engine swap tells me that I'm about to install an Audi TDI engine from a particular R3 class formula car (i'm at work so I don't remember which exactly, but the game gives you specifics). It was little details like that that I really grew to appreciate from the franchise.
That's not to say Forza 5 isn't worth getting because it's truly great in its own respect. There are just a few differences (for better or worse) that give the game a unique, fresh experience. (Def better than Horizon!)
