    If you're asking this gamer for advice - DiRT 2 is a bit aggressive and in-your-face , NFS: Shift is basically a letdown , but Forza Motorsport 3 is the racer to own in 2009. Read more

    Forza Motorsport 3 is the best racing sim ever released. The gameplay is solid and the graphics are amazing. There is enough to keep the player busy for months. The online community, like in past Forza games, is always active and there will always be someone to race online with. The Season Play mode, although quite boring, will keep the player busy for a very long time, and after the first six seasons, it is possible to keep racing through new seasons. Multi-player is,...

    puts down a new standard for racing games. Almost everything looks and feels perfect. Especially the improved road handling impresses but also the amount of possibilities seems endless. Still there's room for improvement: a better soundtrack for example or better damage models and more cars or the possibility to also compete in rally races. These, however, are improvements we can ask from any top game as in our society we just want more and more. For now I dare to crown... Read more

    "Forza Motorsport 3" is pretty much the complete package in terms of content. Anyone from a complete novice to an absolute pro will be able to pick up and play the game with ease, and then you can fiddle with the options to find the perfect difficulty, with no penalty for doing so. There’s also an awful lot of cars and tracks, and most of these can be further customised. It all looks and sound great as well, although in a more sterile way than some other recent racers.

    While many of the features that Forza Motorsport 3 brings to bear are nothing new to the racing genre they all come together in a fantastic package. The game may tend to drag on just a little bit thanks to those huge races and time consuming achievements but at no point does it ever become a bad title. This is one of the best racing games released on any console to date and is a must have for any Xbox owners who are looking for a new racing game. Read more

  1. A Good "Encyclopedia" of Racing

    I thought that GI's review did a great job being critical of this game in ways that other reviews weren't addressing.  Really, if you're being honest, this is more like "Forza 2.5", or maybe "Forza 2.75".  It's a better sequel than Gran Turismo 4 was to Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec.  But a game like Forza should be moving the genre forward, and in some respects, Forza 3 falls short of what other racing titles have been up to since 2007. My primary gripe about this game is... Read more

    The best looking graphics on a racing game (when only talking about consoles of course) yet. While the interiors are a bit underwhelming, the environments and cars look amazing. While overall gameplay formula didn't take a dramatic change, the streamlining of having any type of gamer play this makes it stand above the crowd. Such a great value for your money that no racing fan should miss no matter if you enjoy a racing game here and there or just a hardcore racing fan. Read more

    Forza 3 is arguably the most complete racing sim ever made. The game physics, audio and graphics are as good if not better than any other game currently available. The addition of drift and drag allow for more variety while the driver assists help the rookies compete with the seasoned vets. Turn 10 has developed a game that's deep enough to keep the avid racer busy for weeks on end while at the same time keeping it easy enough to use for the kid who's years away from... Read more
