I have both but each has its upsides:
GT4 = proven franchise, TONS more cars/stuff, best of all, true force feedback wheel support
Forza=looks good, online support
I have both consoles so I'll play 'em both

I played the Xbox demo of Forza a couple of months ago and I have to say I wasn't that impressed with the cars handling, track detail, and overall graphics.

The demo track was Laguna Seca so it could be compared to GT3's version (which I preferred).

I'm guessing that they are still working hard on Forza as it was put back a while ago. I'll still be getting Forza (coz of online play and vehicle damage) and GT4.

Does Forza support steering wheels with full 900 degrees turn?

I also played the Forza demo a few months back and was also not that blown away. It didn't seem bad, but from what I saw I wasn't thinking "I have to buy this game".

I'll prbably pick up Forza but I still have a ton of stuff to complete in PGR2 which I actually like a lot so I'm in no real rush.

My vote would be GT4. Mainly because I've played all the older GT games so GT4 would be a must have.

GT4 for single player, Forza for online play.

GT4 > *

any one can make an online game. What sets GT4 from other racing simulators is the gameplay itself.
