DESCRIPTION

Microsoft's premiere driving simulation series revs up with its second high-definition release for Xbox 360, Forza Motorsport 3. The third in the series enhances or improves upon nearly all the key features of earlier games, while adding new driver-assisting functions to make play more accessible to a wider audience. Central to Forza 3 are detailed, virtual recreations of more than 400 models of automobile, from 50 different manufacturers. Races may be run on more than 100 tracks, including old favorites and some new to the series, based on actual locations around the world. Graphically, the cars are built from over ten times the number of polygons used to create the cars in Forza 2. The game's physics model refines the systems used in the previous game, and developers worked with other driving-game experts as well as with representatives of several auto manufacturers, in their efforts to build-in authentic cause-and-effect elements in minute detail.

For more casual drivers, Forza 3 offers features such as auto-braking and computer-assisted tuning, allowing for a freer driving experience without the constant danger of a crash around each tight corner, or concerns about inefficient settings for the current road conditions. When accidents do happen, the game's new "rewind" feature allows the player to stop, roll back time, and try again. Meanwhile, the hardest-core of driving aficionados can eschew the computer assistance for realistically demanding experience, just as gearhead gamers are free to do their own custom tuning, with the ability to make essentially any adjustment to their virtual auto that could be made to its real-life counterpart, for realistic performance tweaks. Xbox Live-connected Forza 3 players can race against others online in a selection of events, and show off their favorite tunings and custom paint jobs.

The "Limited Collector's Edition" includes a branded keychain and 2 gigabyte USB storage drive, and gives Xbox Live subscribers exclusive membership to the Forza Motorsport VIP club, five cars hand-tuned by developer Turn 10, and a Forza 3 Xbox Live dashboard theme. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“This is a solid game that almost rivals predecessors such as LFS and RFactor to name a few. Its missing easy support for major wheels like the G25 but this fluke isn't Turn 10's fault in anyway. The Fanatec 911 wheel is a solution to that dilema...”

“Oh Right, GT's always been a stickler for a large amount of cars, the PSP version has about 800+ lol.”

“Played this demo yesterday with the Micro$oft wheel I bought last year. Just blown away! I 'm really not into simulations that much, and Forza 2 really didn't do too much for me, but this game felt...”

“Good to hear. I'm enjoyed Forza 2 as a filler game when there weren't a lot of great games coming out. Forza 3 simply looks like an improved and updated one, so I'm certainly interested in trying this out. I guess I should check out the demo.”

MrVista360 was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Unfortunately I think yesterday was the last day to be able to download it from XBL {according to the date listed on it--like Brutal Legend} if I read it correctly. I was just browsing the downloads last night and stumbled across it.

I think release is set for Oct. 27 {for the GameFly Q reminder}”

colliny2k was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Awe, that's too bad. Oh well, I'll just add it to my GameFly queue. I don't think I'll be getting to it at release anyway. I have so many games to catch up on.”

“Sounds great! No longer have a 360, but tempted to get one, the only problem is, I don't have enough time to play my PS3, let alone a 360 as well!!!”

“Question, do I suck or is it a hrd game? :P I spent a lot of time failing in that game demo even on easy mode. To be fair I was terrible at GT back on ps2 as well. ”

MrVista360 was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@jimothyjim I personally sucked at Forza 2, and when I seen Forza 3 I downloaded it out of boredom and thought "Oh well her we go". But after taking that first lap the mechanics of the game just felt WAY better than F2. In fact for me after buckling down and playing this Sim, when I played the Need for Speed Shift demo I had a hard time adjusting to the arcade style again at first.”

“There's a line on the track telling me where to go and when to break/accelerate and I still spent a lot of time in the wall. I'm not saying the controls are bad, im just saying I can't use them lol”
