Forza Motorsport is a racing simulation. This is the opponentof the Gran Turismo sequence. This is the Microsoft's counterto the domination of PlayStation in the racing simulation market.
If you're not sureabout buying the game you can download its demo from the Xbox Live Market. If you buy the full version the first time you put the CD in your Xbox it will ask you if you want to install the extra content that comes on the second CD of Forza Motorsport 3.
I recommenddoing it because the second CD containsabout another hundred cars and some new tracks. The additionalcontent will only take about 2 GB of space. If you don't have enough free storage you may not install the CD but you will miss a lot of fun.
The graphics are just incredible. If you play on high definition TV they look even better. In HD it just looks so clean. The cars have been designed with all the particularsof the actualone. It's clear that the designers have spend quite a time on it and it have paid off.
There are more cars to chose from than you can ever remember. Forza 3 offers you about 400 cars from over 50 manufacturers. Its directopponentGran Turismo offers about 700 cars but I don't think that really maters. The customization now is much simpler. You will be stunnedof the work some guys have done.
Most of you will like Forza Motorsport 3 just because it offers something for everyone. If you like easier games where you don't have to spend much time learning the controls Forza have some aidsthat will help you. If you are looking for authenticracing simulation than all you have to do is to adjustthe difficulty and you have one of the most realistic racing games out there. In some races you are trulychallenged and you will have to do tens of attemptsto get to first position.
As all of the games Forza Motorsport 3 has it flaws. First the costof the upgrades is just cosmic, it's ridiculous. What ever upgrades you chose you will be broke through the wholegame, you will never have spare capital. Another problem I spotted is that the gauges in some of the cars don't work properly.
Bottom line Forza Motorsport might be rejected from the Gran Turismo fans as it doesn't have as much cars and for other reasons. And maybe it really isn't as good but again if you don't have PlayStation 3 then Forza Motorsport is your option. And who knows maybe the next Forza will not only mach Gran Turismo but actually beat it.
