My opinion
Forza Motorsport 3 is developed by Turn 10 Studios. It’s this third installment into the Forza gaming series.
The first thing that you will notice about Forza 3 is how good the game looks, I was disappointed with the graphics in Forza 2 and knew that they could of done much better. In Forza 3 the graphics are very realistic and in HD they are even better. The graphics are almost real Forza Motorsport 3 does a really good job graphicly.
The thing that I like the most about Forza 3 is the game play. Just how accessible it is to everyone they have really got the pick up and play aspect just right in the fact that if you enjoy arcade racers then this game in some respects will suit you and if you enjoy a full blow simulator game then this game will carter for you. I love racing games and I enjoy both arcade racers and simulators. Forza 3 hits it around the middle as you can go and buy a car, buy upgrades for your car and then start tuning it if you are a fan of getting into the depth of the car then the game will let you do that. However if like me and don’t really like getting into the depths of the car then you can choose your car, choose a race, complete the race and then it will let you know if anything is needed to be changed for example if your car is a lower class and the race you have just chosen if for higher class cars then it will tell you that and you can either choose a new car to race with or you can choose to let the game automatically upgrade your car to the class in which is needed for the race. I like the way that you choose what level of realism you would like to race with, you choose what assists are turned on and off. If you have the assists turned off then the game will become more difficult and realistic if you choose to have the assists turned on then the difficulty will become easier and more of an arcade style racer.
I love the way that the cars handle in Forza 3; they handle like the real thing, as they are really responsive and realistic although arcade gamers please don’t let this put you off because if you have the assists on then the cars feel still very responsive but handle differently if you were to have all of the assists turned off.
The game has amazing sound and music the engine noises are phenomenal they sound just like the real thing which is nice as in some other racers they just choose the same noise for every engine. The music is very good and fits into the background nicely while your navigating menu’s and choosing your car but you properly won’t be able to hear the background music while your racing because of the lovely noise from the engine of your car.
I feel that the one major thing that is letting this game down is the online and multiplayer it’s now in the style of halo 3s match making system where you can choose what type of game you would like to play for example Circuit, Oval or Drift type of game and then it will match make you into a game for you. You have no control over what track the race is on or what class of cars you will race with. This is just the match making and you can still choose the settings of the game such as the track but this is only if you are in a private match with your friends and sometimes this can be difficult getting a group of your Xbox live friends all into a private match and sometimes you just want to jump into a full game with players already in the game.
Price and Availability
The cheapest I have found the standard edition of the game is for £36.98 from The Love Film Shop.
The cheapest I have found the limited collectors edition of this game is for £54.99 on the Amazon website.
Overall
I think that this is one of the best racing games that I have ever played, you can play this game on so many levels whether you enjoy arcade racing games or simulation racing games then I think you will like this game. The only thing that is letting this game down is the online multiplayer aspect, which is a shame. I will still recommend that you buy this game.
Advantages: Amazing graphics, stunning visuals and sounds, great control system, fantastic game depth Disadvantages: None
...on TV where they played Forza 2 and me being simply blown away by the amazing look and apparent feel of the game, so was it really all worth it?
The game is one produced by Microsoft studios and is as such an XBOX 360 exclusive.
The game once again brings forward a huge variety of cars to the fore with the likes of the Ford Fiesta, Fiat 500, Alfa Romeo MITO, Bugatti Veyron, Chrysler Crossfire, Dodge Viper, Ferrari F430 and many more (total of over ... ...a variety of different classes based on their performance with information on performance indicators also provided on each car. Oneof the things I love in this game though is that cars can be moved between classes through upgrades which you purchase as you gain points (points are gained through performance in races).
Each and every car in this game simply look stunning and are perfectly rendered with it being obvious that you are not in the same ...

...the release of Turn 10’s Forza Motorsport 2 there has been talk of the third instalment. And now the game is due to be released at the end of this very month – just over two years since the previous title. The game in a nutshell is a highly intense, fast, exciting, realistic racing simulator exclusive to the Xbox 360. With the most up to date graphics and in game physics, this release is sure to be a big hit. If you have a 360 with Xbox live the ... ...Those who have played Forza 2 are no doubt dying to know what new features the game has to offer. Well the cars now have the ability to roll! The team have also taken a leaf out of Codemasters (developers of the popular game series Dirt) and introduced a flashback feature, which allows the driver to “rewind time” and have another attempt at a corner. The idea is to make the game more accessible and a little less frustrating. It’s a nice feature but ...

...play with your friends. Forza has one of the best customization in a racing game out now. There are a whole number of parts for the cars, which i do not know what they are call. You can also create your own design on the car. Then you can sell that design for money that is in the game. The cars in this game are amazing. Each car are down to every detail. and driving a car is not hard to get use to. They created the controls for everyone. And it feels ... ...the settings to your advantage. also in the game is the rewind button. This button lets you rewind anytime you want during a race(not online), without getting penalized for it. This is a really good feature that i like. It is for the fun of it. Overall this game look good from the cars to the back ground. If you buy this you will not regret it and love this game all the way through. ...
