Forza Motorsport 3: Limited Edition

Having just played the demo for this I can say that this is by far one of the most promising racers on the 360 so far. The graphics are 10/10, the scenery in Montserrat is nothing short of beautiful, and the cars are flawlessly created. Sound effects are solid and never seem out of place. The realism is much higher than in Forza 2 and it takes more to get the cars around the tight hairpin than in last years game. With the addition of realistic tyre wear with handling changes and the option of turning on fuel usage in all game modes make this a definite must-buy for any racing sim fans.

This Game is not much different to Forza 2

The career mode is boring and you start asking yourself why am I wasting my time doing this, I dont know if this is becuase its so similar to Forza 2 its just fells the same really i dont notice may differeneces (except the career is not as well layed out)

This is a shame as I loved Forza 2 ( I think I totaled well over 100 hours on that )

I think Forza 2 was amazing, Excellent graphics, hundreds of cars and probably the BEST visual customization ever on a racing game. Forza 3 is basically just an updated forza 2 though, pretty much the same vinyl's and paint. Not many new cars (as far as I can see, just some rubbish American ones) a worse race career in my view (too complicated) and also i find there are less body kits for certain cars. What's that about? Still cant upgrade lights or wing mirrors. The good points on the other hand are; More choice of wheels (inc. chrome and split rims) , Independent wheel sizes (bigger Back than front etc). Tonnes of great new tracks and, the storefront which is excellent. Also another good thing is that you can customise race cars to make ur own vinyls on, Which is pretty good. Althought this is a very good game, I would just get forza 2. It is a lot cheaper, just missing tracks, and some pointless cars. Definitely could have done better with this one.
( This limited edition version is worth payin that little extra for because you get a load of download cars and extra tracks btw)

A must have game for any racing/sim gamer! Graphics although not as realistic as GT5/P, they are still top notch for the 360. Engine sounds are reasonable, no real change from Forza 2, same goes for the tyre noise. Cockpit view is a great addition, but hopefully the full version will allow total freedom to look around your cockpit, currently you have to hold up on the R analogue and can only look left/right.
Presentation/user interface looks slick and easy to use. The rewind function is good for those who wish to go back before an error/crash, although i personally feel its defeating the who point of the game.
The price for the LE edition is great for what you are getting! A must have game

A very good driving game that should be in anybody's collection of 360 games. The collectors edition pack is well presented and the keyring/USB stick look pretty sturdy and not cheap (I've not taken either of them out the packaging though).

The game itself has some nice touches with the addition of drifting and drag racing. I especially like the storefront as it helps create more of a community feel to the game (just visit the official FM forum to see this). It works well and you can show off your best replays and pictures aswell as making your own tunes, paints and vinyls to sell on. No longer do you need to scour the auction house unless you want to buy full cars.

I just need to get some MS Points now to buy the new car pack that contains the new Nissan Skyline GTR.
