Forza 3

I've not heard a bad thing said about this game. Has it caught up with Gran Turismo in terms of amount of cars/tracks/stuff to do etc? I'd hope so since it's the 360's best bet for it.

lol, it caught up about 3 years ago.

For me Forza 2 was not as good as GT4. GT4 had around 700 cars or something and had SO many tracks. I bought an Xbox360 in Oct 2007 and got Forza 2 with it. I liked it a lot but it didn't have the same magic for me as Gran Turismo did. No license tests, nowhere near as many cars. Forza 2 had 300 whereas GT4 had over double that.

I doubt i'll get Forza 3, this is going to sound controversial but it's likely that I will sell my 360 before GT5 comes out and i'll put money towards a PS3 with GT5. That game is going to blow Forza away, it's going to have around 1000 cars and a massive amount of game modes.

Apart from one or two things it's brilliant.

The loading times are a little too on the long side, and the fact I've almost finished the third season and I haven't had to buy a single car yet because all the cars you get through gaining driver levels are good enough to win you races.

I haven't had an endurance race yet so I've not needed to pit for fuel, but the fuel gauge is so hard to see it's untrue.

Other than than it's quality.

....up the difficulty maybe?

I've been doing it as I go along, turning assists off as I go.

Funnily enough the hardest tracks to win on are the ovals. lol

I tried the race last night where it looks like its in the streets of New York or something, using the Shelby GT. without traction control. Lets just say the rewind function got a good run out.

I'd reccomend that being one of the last assists you turn off lol

Can you feel the difference in cars more or is it still just same old this ones a bit faster/slower, this ones got good nippy steering where as this one is quite sluggish...?

You know what i mean?

I've collected more achievement points on this one in 3 hours than in Forza2 over 6 months. :blink:

What's with this? lol

Good game though, a nice distraction from everything else and until the end of November which is shaping up quite nicely.

I've done the F class endurance race today, 34 laps around Road Atlanta.

One hour and 3 Minutes of my life I won't get back and will probably lead to arthritis in my right index finger in future years.

...To be fair an hour and 3 aint bad, once you get to R1 your looking at nigh on 2 hours. Well if its the same as the last one

With the R1,R2,R3 you at least have some speed to play with the car I used for the F class never got above 112mph.

I've upgraded my Bugatti Veyron to an R3 so that should fly round.

I did a three lap race round the Nürburgring online last night and pissed it, Once it gets on a straight people have no chance. :giggle:

How the hell do you break without locking the wheels and skidding off? That Bugatti's a beast too, spent more time in the gravel trap than on the tarmac.

Go easy on the trigger. Gradual like.

Treat it soft... :cool:

But I need to break at race speed, not navigate my gran to the hospital!

The AI are fecking annoying as well - they constantly get in the way and push you round sideways - although I did note one go off the track un-aided, which was great until I copied him or her (probably her).

It is possible to keep it on the road with lightning fast reactions and a soft touch.

For example, I've raced an R3 with all driver assists turned off (ABS, traction and ESP) and, although a little bit of a handful, is driveable.

I rarely go off the track.
