Forza 3 Review



Forza Motorsport 3 (Xbox 360)
Developer: Turn 10 Studios
Publisher: Microsoft
MSRP: $60


First Look:
Forza Motorsport 3 a big game for Microsoft and the X Box 360.Forza 2 a game that was widely popular, and was a very well made game. Forza 3 expands on things it did right and adds so much more content.

Game Play/ Campaign
The game is based on a a list of smaller events with a specific number of races which end with a championship in a specific class. These smaller events happen two or three times a month, and after two or three months you move on to the next season. As well as earning points and new cars to drive. You also earn points and level your car and your level as a whole and the levels go on to at least 50. The system works well and gets you to keep racing. My problem with this is it gets really boring and doesn't hold your attention forever.
Game play is done well for very serious racers and the more casual folk. Forza 3 adds a lot of new things too help you along the way. You can higher and lower difficulty as well as change the style of driving from a more simulated type of racing to a more casual play style. The cars and driving is done well but definitely not the best driving experience I've had in a game. The driving done feel clunky at times, and the racing is sorta dumb downed and is very easy.
The tracks and visuals of the game are outstanding. The cars, tracks, stands, and the other smaller elements all add to to make this game look amazing. Some tracks have very vibrant colors and add some interesting game play experiences. The roar and look of the huge crowd as you drive by them at top speeds is also very exciting. The camera angles are not bad, but they don't add anything to the game like other racing games have done.

Final Thoughts:
The game play is fun and puts a lot of new and exciting things on the table. The game is visually stunning, and all the customization adds to that. Easily the best racing game of '09' and many racing fans shouldn't think twice about picking this game up. It doesn't add anything new but it does a great job at preserving good things about the racing genre.
