Comparison between games.

Some of the most notable differences between this game and the last one are the number of cars, the map size, and the graphics. The number of cars on the release for FH5 is 504 whereas the number of FH4 was around 640. So not a huge difference but still a difference. But what is a big difference is the map and the graphics. The map is nearly double the size of the FH4 map, and the graphics are like someone filmed cars racing. But obviously, the main reason the graphics are better is that it’s a 3-year gap in gaming technology. 

What i like about the game.

What I like about the game. One of the main things I like about this game is the abandoned airport. It’s perfect for drag racing real people, testing the speed of a new car, and riding off the ramp at the end of it. Other things are the types of races (I personally like the cross county and street races). no snow(I hated the winter season in FH4), the Horizon outposts are really nice, it makes it so that you don’t need to buy a new house whenever you want to upgrade/buy a new car. Overall I just like racing and I like this over the older games.

my rating of the game.

My rating for this game would probably be 7.5, It’s fun but FH4 does have some things that are better.
