Forza Motorsports 3 Review

I've been out of the loop as of late int he 360 world, seeing as I've been playing a lot of older games (if you really need to know.. Donkey Kong 64, NBA Live 2005, and Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour). That being said I decided to get my hands on some newer Xbox games, one of which happened to be Forza Motorsports 3. With all the hype behind it and people claiming it to be "one of, if not the best racing games of all time" I figured it'd be prefect for me to get back into the 360.

Before reading too far into this, consider the fact that I've only played the game for about an hour. These are just my early thoughts. My first reaction to it is that the graphics are amazing. There's not a single thing that looks bad about it. Everything from the cars, to the tracks, to the menus are all smooth, and great looking. But more important than all that, the game plays incredibly well. This isn't you average Need For Speed (hold the gas button down for the whole race, and use crazy turbo's) racing game. It's more on the same style of racing as Gran Turismo. Not exactly like GT though. I find the Gran Turismo games to picky about things like breaking into corners. This game is realistic in the way you have to control your car, but at the same time it's not a total bitch to try and take a simple corner. All this (even though it's really not that much) being said, I give the game an 8.5/10. Definitely worth checking out.
