Forza Motorsport 3 Review

Many people don't have the means necessary to purchase a high performance sports car. Of course, TheFeed has that kind of change between its couch cushions, so we own a BMW, a Porsche, 37 Audis and a 1996 Pontiac Transport Minivan just for good measure.

But, for everyone with only 36 Audis in the garage, there's Forza Motorsport 3, exclusively for the Xbox 360. TheFeed's Brian Leahy (himself the proud owner of 45 Audis, 2 Alfa Romeos and a Razor Scooter) has the review:

"Forza Motorsport 3 improves upon Forza 2 in almost every way. It doesn't redefine the genre, but it adds enough to be a solid upgrade for car lovers and simulation enthusiasts. New features like Rewind and Quick Upgrade help lower the barrier of entry for casual players and the new cockpit cam is a much-needed franchise addition."

    5 out of 5! Awesome! I'm sure a certain someone will scream "bias" any minute now.

    Forza is a fine game, but it isn't at the same level of GT5

    Scottydsntknow is right. This game does not have 16 players online like GT5. It doesn't have NASCAR rights like GT5. It doesn't have WRC rally racing like GT5. It doesn't have 1,000 cars like GT5. It doesn't have weather changes like GT5. It doesn't have day & night cycling like GT5. It doesn't have the great graphics like GT5. It won't be on one disc like GT5. It's not the same level of GT5. Let's see what other reviewers say when Metacritic gets all of the scores.

    I think the last major racing game I played was GT1. I was never a big fan of them so I don't think I am one to judge. Looks pretty cool. Don't really know about all that other stuff that RROD is talking about, but whatevs. People will buy it or they won't.

    I want online co-op teams. Instead of trudging through the calendar on my own. (Although I will anyway) I just think it would breathe more life into the "campaigns" of F3 & GT5.

    GT5 has been in gestation for 5 YEARS!!! Still no delivery! So GT5 fans will at some point get a great game I'm sure BUT They have waited FAR too long and have little to show for it! While those who have FM2 and now FM3 have been racing and having great fun. No need to come here and complain about what you think are flaws when you at this point have nothing to compare it to as if it matters in the least in the end. WE will be racing whilst you will be reading!

    @ RRODisBack

    Other reviews I have seen so far have been positive. IGN gave Forza 3 a 9.4 out of 10. Forza 3 is living up to the hype and you continue to fail.

    ! UP gave it am A-

    400 damage modeled cars

    paint options limited only by artists imagination

    ultra realistic tire deformation

    To think that all this took just 2 years.

    I wonder what gt5 looked like back in 2007 after digital poly had worked on it for 2 years?

    For that matter, I wonder what kz2 looked like in 2007 (2 years in)?

    If this game got a 5/5 does that mean G4 will have to make the rating scale higher for GT5?
