Forza Motorsport 3 Xbox 360

Product Review

Release Date: 23 October 2009

Forza Motorsport 3 is the definitive racing game. All 400-plus cars in the game have been built with more than 10 times the amount of polygons as Forza Motorsport 2. This includes painstakingly researched cockpits and interiors for every vehicle. But realism isn't just about pretty graphics. Turn 10 takes realism to new heights, with the most advanced physics model, artificial intelligence and damage calculations. Whether it's the differences in how each car handles through the corners, how the engines sound at top speed or how different tires and upgrades impact your car's performance, you'll find yourself leaning into your turns as if you were really behind the wheel of your favourite ride.

Forza Motorsport 3 rises above the distinction between simulation and arcade games. Using a myriad of cutting-edge driving and gameplay assists such as auto-braking, game play rewind and auto-tuning, Forza 3 delivers an experience where everyone can have fun behind the wheel, regardless of your skill and dexterity. Whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned racing game pro, Forza Motorsport 3 caters to how you drive and evolves with you over time as your skills increase.

• Where Dreams are Driven: Featuring the latest and greatest production offerings as well as the world's fastest and most exotic street cars, Forza Motorsport 3 offers more than 400 fully customisable and tunable cars from over 50 of the world's leading manufacturers. In addition to the return of world-famous tracks from previous Forza Motorsport games, Forza 3 invites you to conquer the corners on more than 100 tracks, including new environments like the gorgeous mountainous Montserrat region in Spain, the rugged Amalfi Coast in Italy and the American Southwest.
• Express Your Car Passion: Painters and tuners will once again be able to showcase creativity through the celebrated Livery Editor, Auction House and Deep Tuning Garage in Forza 3. The car is literally the artistic canvas as some of the world's most creative car painters and designers find new layers of depth and freedom to create shocking visual masterpieces before sharing them with others over Xbox LIVE. Each car in Forza 3 is fully upgradable, allowing gear heads to take on the challenge of turning a Honda Civic into a supercar killer.
• Play Your Way: Forza 3 is an epic racing game featuring more content and more ways to play than any racing title today. An innovative single-player season mode puts you through a completely personalised racing calendar that includes more than 200 different events, including Circuit, Oval, Drag, Drift and Timed Events. No two calendars are the same - they react to the cars you love and the races you enjoy most. In addition, the online multiplayer mode gains an all-new game rules editor.
