Polished Beautiful
First thing for you a white clear polished screen with a reflective logo (very apple like) and a Comforting voice welcoming you to Forza motorsport 3. Get used to this voice as it will guide you through a chunk of the game. And you are in.<br /><br />Every step of the game is smooth, polished, simple, easy. As if Apple designed the game. With as little steps and lots of options you are in a race and committed to hours of fun before you realize it. As beautiful Age of conan/ COD4 landscapes 3D sweep past cars that you cant find a single edge on the car (10 times the polygons are used here than in 2), its just amazing, except you expected this right? Lets move on.<br /><br />Graphics are 9/10 .... 10 being you playing the game in 3d undistinguishable from real life.<br /><br />Learning curve of the game also couldnt be more perfected either, as you can set it up so a 2 year old could work his way up from just hitting gas and break when the game tells you to all the way to shifting manually with a clutch and all setup to be as hard going to the track in RL and making twice as much money as a bonus. 10/10<br /><br />Auction house has fixed the selling 1 billion credits for a few bucks issue with: reporting, a harder hack, and employees who watch auctions to make sure people are not ruining the game by making a million credits worth 10 cents. Big win. You can also now sell designs and tuneups separately. Also no sniping, bidding keeps going til someone gives up.<br /><br />You get to race in the car, and your head moves around in the car as you break and gas and turn. Every car shows you its actual 3d inside that you can look around during the race.<br /><br />Hit other AI drivers they hit you back, I just had my car totaled by another car who i pessed off after i tried to run them off the track. And no, i didn't hit the rewind button to undo his revenge, i finished last, and smiled about it.<br /><br />Other than even more cars and 3d glasses, it seems impossible to improve the game

BUY IT ASAP
I didnt risk not being able to receive the game from game fly.. i went out and got it straight from best buy. I didn't think any game could top Forza 2 but this game does. From the graphics to the online multi player. I also LOVE how easy it is to use the paint booth. I wasn't very good at it in Forza 2 but they made it alot easier to use. I'm rating it a 10/10.. GET THIS GAME!!

simple racing is bliss
really liked the simplicity of this game for as advanced as it is you can do quick upgrades during the season races which makes it easier for the less mechanically inclined while still being able to go in and buy things the quick upgrade may have missed... the market place was a genius idea for the game its like eBay of forza great game had a blast with it would seriously consider buying it.

its ok i guess
I bought this game right after finishing up forza 2. WOW its the same game with a few different cars and tracks. The graphics were great the customization was great but this game is identical to forza 2 to me so i never finished it. Just wish i didn't spend 60 dollars on it. I guess this is a english made game cause the music and gameplay is as fun as the english tv shows. I fell asleep at the wheel.

SOOO much better than 1 and 2
ok right off the bat i love the forza series, and ive noticed that when i first got number 1, i pretty much instantly knew this was not a game for 12 year olds (which is how old i was at the time) but the newers ones are way more kid freindly and i have to say this one has one of the biggest game improvements ive ever seen, the music may not be better but everything else is, the cars are awesome, the tracks rule, driving is incredibly realistic, and i love these new additions 1. driving is about 5x more actiony then in 1 and 2 2. they FINALLY added a cockpit veiw 3. you can now customize ALL the cars where as in 1 and 2, you could not do ANYTHING to the R3 and up cars. and i also like the change of winning cars, in 1 and 2 you won a car every event and before you even got 1/4 through you were up to your neck in cars that you could only sell for 100, now you win a car every time you level up, in 1 and 2 you unlocked a car every 5 levels and i like this new change, overall i think the game absolutely rules and i would reccomend it to ANY and ALL racing game fans!

Best Racing Simulator
For those who think this game is boring I should remind you that this is not Need for Speed. This is a real racing simulator that does not need a story line. If thats what you need to keep you interested then this is not a game for you.<br /><br />The graphics are perfect. The number of cars available are amazing and flawless. The feel of the car you chose is very different from the next. The detail of this game is extreme. When your car pulls off the track you can feel your car getting pulled by the grass since the tires on the track are going to be spinning faster than the tires off the track. You can tune and manipulate your upgrades to make the car ride exactly how you prefer whether its understeer or oversteer that complements your driving skills.<br /><br />The feel of each corner and the power ripping out of the turn into a straight-a-way is great, very very fun. It is definitley a must play if you are a fan of real racing games. This beats the pants off of Gran Turismo. <br /><br />The online storefront is cool. You can put your cars up for auction with other Forza players, purchase other car designs and even purchase car tunes from other creators. You can post pictures of your creations and show videos of your race if you really want.<br /><br />I did not like how you can rewind your mistakes during races. Also on a minor issue, when you try to put decals or paint on your car the shapes or decals you chose are not able to be flipped. So if I put a design on the passenger side and I want it mirrored on the driver side it's almost impossible. Unless I dont know what im doing which is a possibility. Regardless this has nothing to do with the actual racing aspect of the game.<br /><br />I think the racing season could have been presented differently but still its all about the actual racing, when you are behind the wheel, that this game really shows how amazing it is and really kills any other racing simulator. <br /><br />Hands down the best racing simulator on any platform.

Quite simply the best racing game ever made
The Forza franchise has been dominating the racing genre since the first Forza on Xbox. No other game provides the realism that Forza provides, including Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo has pretty environments and tons of cars, all of which look fantastic, but it doesn't provide realistic physics, including damage modeling on the cars. <br /> <br />This game has one of the most in-depth systems for designing graphics for all of your cars. These designs can be saved as whole car designs or just as a vinyl group that can be placed on any car. Like its predecssor, there is also an Auction House for buying and selling cars, vinyl designs, and tuning setups online. You can also race online with completely customizable restrictions on the tracks, cars, and car classes available for each race. <br /> <br />Forza 3 provides excellent graphics, an extremely wide selection of cars, and the realistic physics for which the series is known. If you get a couple tires off in the grass, rather than just slowing you down a bit, it actually &quot;grabs&quot; the car and tries to pull it off the road, because the tires in the grass will be moving slower than the tires still on the pavement. You can actually feel the wheels spinning in both front-wheel and rear-wheel drive cars when you give it a little too much gas. Cockpit view is actually usable without feeling like too much of your view is obstructed, and all of the cars' interiors are modeled perfectly. Add in even more tracks than in Forza 2 and you have a near perfect racing simulator. My one complaint is that in cockpit view, the driver never takes his hands off the steering wheel to shift, but this is a minor detail. All in all, Forza 3 is the best racing game yet on any console. If you like realistic racing games, you will love Forza 3.

Great Game
FM3 i believe is one the better racing games that i have most recently played. If you are a gamer who likes destructing you vehical and practically fighting your way to the finish line this is not a game for you. FM3 is a more realistic type of racing game. The only thing i did not enjoy was the free cars i were recieving at the start of the game. I mean yes i love free cars but these cars just absolutly sucked and i couldnt even sell them at a good price to upgrade my garage but after you win more races your able to purchase better cars. Overall i would reccomend this game for your future gaming.

Must Buy
i wouldnt have any way better to put this game.. <br />for starters i would like to say the cars and details that went into this game is by far one of the best i'v seen so far..<br />as you start off the game you jump into a audi v8 <br />and as the game progresses you can update your parts and you get new cars as well.. not to mention the great bidding you can do vs people around the world.<br />the races arent hard with assist, there is no such thang as cars passing you up on the last lap to win the race unless you make a stupid mistake.<br />you can get your dream car or your home garage cars.. the cok pit view is awsome makes you feel that you are in the game.<br />also the shifting is easy the turning is great this game <br />all though time to time it can get old doin some of the race's and it does have a few flaws on how your car has to much speed and upgrades to compete in some of the race's. <br /><br />great cok pit view<br />great feel for the game<br />great shifting<br />great assist if you need them &quot;on / off&quot;<br />great graphic's.<br /><br />bad fan graphics.<br />bad racing gets old every now and then.<br />bad arcade feel for time to time.<br /><br />and theres just so much i;v got to say but ill leav it at this.. if you like racing get it asap<br />and to be anost i didnt like racing games as much and first game iv gave a 10 on game fly.<br /><br />a must buy.
