Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this game, I've had tons of fun playing it and I will continue playing. There are a lot of options as far as customizing your car, and especially to fine tune everything. The tuning is particularly exceptional and in-depth. I also like the controversial Rewind Feature which allows you to rewind the game at any point to improve on your mistakes. It helps avoid playing the same race over and over again. That said, I'll focus on criticizing from now on. First off, it was disappointing that the game has a large install CD that comes with it. All the loading times (and there are many) take forever, and you'd think it could be avoided since so much of the game is already installed on your hard drive. Also, you can't customize the body kits, there are no dirt, snow, or any other special conditions events. No weather changes or any different types of weather. And, being a racing fan, and not specifically attached to a console or brand, I have to say that Gran Turismo 5 will be far superior (which to me was disappointing since I was looking for something comparable). GT5 will have many different types of competitions and races, over twice the amount of cars, far superior graphics, dynamic weather changes, etc. So, this is the best game until that one comes out. However, when GT5 comes out, this game will be pretty worthless.

This is one of the most advanced driving games available on any console. The graphics alone are worth the purchase. Every car model - and trust me, there are a lot of them - is incredibly detailed and open for unique customization. Not only are there a variety of paint colors, there are always dozens of decals that you can design your vehicle with. If none of them catch your interest, you can make your own. Great game. I would highly recommend it!

This game made me buy an Xbox 360! I saw a demo and I had to have it. Playing it took a little getting used to the standard controller. I even tried out the wheel and didn't immediately like it very much. Perhaps with a little practice (just like the standard controller) it will become easier. I really like the racing tour and graduating up to better and better cars. It's also fun to just pick a car and a track and have fun. I have been to the real Laguna Seca (Mazda Raceway) a million times (sadly never raced there) and the game track is extremely realistic. I actually own a red 08 ZO6 Corvette and I can thrash my exact car around the track (without damaging the real one). I would definitely recommend.

This is an awesome game, it looks awesome, comes with a ton of cars and Tracks, so much so that it comes with a second install disk for your Hard Drive. Everything in this game is customizable the cars and the difficulty especially. It's also really cool that you can rewind the race to back where you messed up and play from there, a welcome feature on those longer tracks. If you really want to be challeged you can really crank up the difficulty. You can make it so that the cars is harder to drive or how tough the AI is. I myself have refrained from using the rewind feature (too much). This is a great game that anyone can play because of the customizable difficulty and the rewind feature. Kudos to MS.

Let me start out this way, you'll feel like sometimes you're looking at tapes of a race that has already taken place somewhere in the world... I can't say enough about the graphics, they are absolutely amazing. The customization options, both cosmetic and under the hood are phenominal. With every decal application, turbo kit, and engine swap you'll love this game more and more.. Greatest racing game I've ever played hands down. Not to mention the wide array of cars. The one thing that kind of has me bummed is that the speed simulation on it feels very slow until your cars can hit 150MPH and upwards, but maybe that's just me. All in all, this game is a must have, you will love it.

To the first person that wrote a review. I have played the game for the last couple days. I got to a level 20 and it does get harder at that point. Earlier in the game the A.I. cars are slower even on hard. It is by far the best forza and the best racing game ive ever played. I don't know how Gran Turismo 5 is going to compete with this but im sure it will. The tracks and scenery look amazing especially on a HD tv. And now that added an actual drag and drift game mode. Which is one of the best things for me because all I did was try to build drift cars. If I would have know there was a vip edition with all the cars unlocked I would have bought it instead of the normal one.

This is the greatest Racing game ever, the Graphics are far better than all the other racing games available(when i wrote this), the environmental details(trees,buildings,shadows,dust,burnouts,curves) are amazing, the sound is great, its a long game, long enought to be a challenge, short enough to finish it before getting bored or mad, and the cars, for gods sake, the CARS! In my personal opinion, they're the greatest thing ever, and you cant imagine the details, graphics, and quantity of cars in this game.

Forza Motorsport 3 is a true racing sim that can compete with Sony's Gran Turismo any day. There is only one issue I have with this 2-disc set: it does not include the DeLorean. You still have to purchase it on Live (for 400pts, I believe). Not a terribly big deal, but it is slightly annoying. The inconvenience aside, a great gaming experience with awesome graphics & sound! Variety in track layouts as well as vehicles makes for a high replay value. PICK IT UP!!

Forget Gran Turismo. Forza is the new king becase of the ability to paint anything on any of your cars. Visit the storefronts to buy designs other people made. The graphics are top notch. This time there's music during the races. The menus are quick to navigate. The races do take some loading so get used to a minute or two of loading. You can also take pictures and upload them to your storefront where you can even download them from the forza website. One other bummer is no lan. no system link. if you plan on using this game for lan play each xbox must have a gold account.

I couldn't wait for this title to come out and now i know why. You have two discs of cars to choose from. The racing is awesome. If you are a beginner you can still enjoy this game with the abs braking function. If you are an experienced driver you can turn off the assists to earn more experience and money. The graphics bar none are the best of any 360 game to date. The game has a few slow loading times in the auction house and loading maps but hopefully that will be ironed out with an update. Seriously if you like racing you will never get tired of this racing macine.

where do i start. best graphics i have ever seen in a game except for cod just so many cars and tracks. there are so maney cars there is two discs and thats on top of all the stuff you can download only disapontments where no rolls royce's and would like more Cadillacs like the xlr, sts cts coupe, srx and i think the Cadillac esclade would have been cool. and i think this will be the top racing game for a year minimum pgr4 is bad compared to this

A great improvement over Forza 2. I was getting sick of racing games after so many dissapointments from n4s. I can honestly say that i was impressed with the overall design of the game and everything is where it should be. It does take a while to load but if you have an hd it takes care of this issue. There are just so many tracks and all of them are flawlessly replicated for us to enjoy. I like the Auction house option because its a great way to new cars at a discount. Overall u will not be dissapointed. Go get it.

This is an awesome game. Very fun and entertaining. I never want to stop playing. There are a lot of cars to choose from, and I have even found a Dodge Ram to drive! The race tracks are great, and the music ain't so bad either. Graphics are exceptional and pretty realistic. The Hire a Driver feature seems to work differently than in Forza 2 however, so be aware of that. Overall this is a tremendously fun game. Well worth the retail price of $59.99. Would recommend to anyone.

Great game. I love the fact that there are new tracks, and not the boring ones where you put a track in, ok lets do it backwards and call it a new track, or cut out parts of the track, its all cr@p! so new tracks is a plus and cars. What I dont like is the drifting garbage! Who does that stuff? its like saying chess is a sport? who cares if you drift? If you drift in the game while I'm online Ill just go ahead and crash into..drifting serves no purpose.........

When you start this game get ready for an adventure. You are in the driver's seat of some of the fastest but also some of the slowest cars available. Honestly the slow cars are more fun, and you can jam a turbo on pretty much anything! Unfortunately on some cars the turbo doesn't kick in until around 100 mph and if the shocks are set too hard you might skid off the road. Don't worry about it though you can customize the gear ratios to prevent rotational slip.

Best racing game for Xbox. Easy to setup, get the wheel though it makes it alot more fun! You might not be as fast but it adds to the realism of graphics and sound. I have friend who never played racing games before and were able to get going pretty easily and progress and hone their skills quickly. I love it for the realism and in depth tuning that can make you go from fast to hero if you set your car up right. Get this game, and you won't be disappointed.

If you have played Forza 2 you will love the graphics in Forza 3. The scenes are fantastic. The new cars for the game are great also. The game is great for Forza Motorsports fans. The thing I did not like was the change in cars that were carried over from Forza 2. In the new Forza 3 you can not get the car upgrades that were available in Forza 2 so your favorites from 2 will not have same capablilties in 3 which is a bummer. Other than that the newer cars are great. Overall it is a must for Forza Motorsport fans and anyone who like racing games.

They recently release the demo for this game and it is PHENOMENAL! My own mother (who typically doesn't play video games) played the demo and got 2nd place on her very first try, 1st place on her second try. This game is really going to be great for really anyone! The graphics are stunning!! Lets just say i have a couple of days requested off from work for this game. I'm soo anxious to get it! :D:D

The game is great for people who are new to video games, i.e. my 55 year old dad, and challenging enough for experts. With the racing wheel it is amazing, without it is still an amazing game. There is tons of customization, and if you don;t want to spend the time creating your own car you can download rpactically anything off of the interent. A must buy for a fan of video games, racing or not.

Its a great game. The Season mode really guides you through and trains you as if you were a new driver to go all the way and become a pro. The game-play is absolutely amazing, and graphics stunning. I love the fact that they allow multiplayer split screen option. It makes it easy to enjoy the game when people are over your house. I give it a 5 and definitely recommend that you purchase it.
