Should I get forza 5 now or wait and get forza horizon 2 in september ?
I know I'm not going to spend the money on both, so I'm either getting one or the other.
I've never been much of a racing game kind of guy, but I played a little of the demo at bestbuy and forza 5 seemed fun and looked good, but I dont want to get it now if horizon is going to be better

I was thinking the same thing. I'm thinking Forza 5 because it will have more cars right now.

I remember reading last year that alot of content in forza 5 was locked and you had to purchase stuff in game in order to unlock it. Is that the case ?

I haven't played it in a while, but I feel like they resolved those issues a while ago after some backlash.

Forza horizon 2

Horizon 2.
It will have about 90% of the car content that 5 has, but it will be set in a totally open free-roam world, with day/night cycles and weather effects. Forza 5 is track based circuit racing only, no night racing or weather.
The only thing Horizon 2 will be missing compared to 5 is some of the really in-depth tuning (which non-racing fanatics don't mess with anyway), and I'm sure some of the track-only race cars.

I love the open world but I think the tuning means more to me than the streets. Can I do engine swaps in horizon? I was looking at the car list for horizon 2 and I wasn't impressed.

I haven't played the original Horizon in awhile so it's a little fuzzy, but when I say no tuning, I literally mean no tuning menu. The upgrade game-mechanic is still there, identical to the regular Forza games. So you can still install new upgraded engine/suspension parts, do engine/drivetrain swaps, new tires & wheels, etc.
What you couldn't do in the original Horizon was get down into the really detailed adjustments of things like gear ratios, camber, caster, rebound, spring rates, rolls bars, etc.
ETA - when talking Forza, "upgrade" and "tuning" are two connected, but ultimately independent game mechanics. In Horizon 1 the devs were very clear that there would be upgrades, but no tuning. I expect the same in Horizon 2.

I guess it's a trade off. I like the free roam racing, sometimes I just bullshite around for a while.
