My Forza Motorsport Review

The Wait is finally over, just as Jenson Button clinches the World title comes the third installment of this monster of a racing game from the masters at Turn 10 Stdious and we can tell you know this game excels even our high Standate.

For so many of us, this is the only chance we get to live out our boyhood fantasies, come on who has not dreamt of driving a Lamborghini Gallardo around The Laguna Seca or a Bugati Veyroun around Silverstone.If that does'nt wet your appetite enougth then Forza comes equipped with over 400 upgradable cars, even including cars sat on your parents drive, in Forza its just as fun to race around at 60mph in a Ford Focus, such is the brilliance of the control and physics system,each car acts deferantly and requires its own challenge to master, and depending on your level you can add assists on, making the game both fun for newcomers and you racing elite.
If thats not enougth the graphics are more stunning than a Page 3 callender. Several times we forgot we were even in a race and was just admiring the beautiful environment and the accelerating beasts, Words can got describe how visually stunning this game is, and makes all 100 tracks included in the game seem life like. All tracks from the 2 previous games are thankfully included, old time favorites such as Fuji Speedway,Catalunya,Laguna Seca,Silverstone are included and the world famous Nurburgring will offer great challenges to even the most experienced players.

We were really impressed with the new carear mode, if there was any negative points with the previous installment Forza 2 it was that Carear mode seemed to drag on forever and got very repetitive. However brilliantly the team behind Forza 3 have shortened the carear mode, but at the same time they have'nt, see the new setup in Carear mode is you have 6 years to complete to become a true legend,to reach this status each year u have to compete in the world tornament which is the main focus of each year however unlike Forza 2 you can complete all the sub tornaments and series in your own time, however competing these events will improve your Driving Level and Car Level an of course provide u with much needed money to improve your car. A feature we absolutly in this game is that for every driver level u go up you get a free car given to you just like that, we just received a Pagani Zonda, not bad for a days work. Were currently at level 19, and we are told there a total of 50 levels to acheive.

As expected Forza comes xbox live compatable providing the chance to battle it out with your freinds online for the ultimate bragging rights allowing upto 8 people to race at once, use scoreboards to compare your fastest laps and even upload images and videos of u destroying your oponments.
Overal verdict is Forza Motorsport 3 is an absolute must for any racing fans.

Overal Rating: 9.5/10
