Finally a Console Racing Game Worthy of the Sim Name Tag?
Forza Motorsport 3 is due to release for the Xbox 360 later this month and it looks like it's definitely going to be in my collection not long after. Below is a video by InsideSimRacing reviewing Forza 3 and they seem to think it's pretty bloody good.
Car List is insane.. http://forzamotorsport.net/en-us/ForzaM ... rlist.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
There are a few things that annoy me though..
1. The Xbox 360 doesn't support the G25 wheel so you either have to buy a crappy one (like the official wireless wheel) or fork out a heap of cash for the 911 Turbo wheel.
2. The game features v8 Supercars and they look superb .... but no Mount Panorama in the initial release . Fingers crossed this will be downloadable in the future.
3. Only 8 cars on the track at once.
Start watching the clip from 17:25 for the review.

Purchased this game on the day that it was released, very impressed so far with it. So many cars to choose from and having the option to upgrade all parts of the cars is amazing, similar to the Gran Turismo series.
A couple of screenies I have taken so far, the Silvia has turbo and engine etc fully upgraded and cannot get traction without the traction control turned on.

Good to see a few others with this game. Do any of you race online? If so post up your usernames and maybe we can sort out some racing some time.

Re: Finally a Console Racing Game Worthy of the Sim Name Tag?
Yea the storefront is pretty good aye, there's hundreds of paint jobs that you can purchase and the same with tunings. Purchased a 'General Lee' paint job the other day which is pretty cool. Also you can get some really good bargains in the auction house, in fact you are far better off to go and buy a car that you like from the auction house then from within the game as you can quite often pick the car up for a lot cheaper. e.g. I purchased one of the Holden V8 Supercars for $35,000 where as if I had paid for it within the game like usual it would have cost $350,000.
I've also managed to sell a few copies of the Skyline paint job above in my last post at $5,000 a piece for a little bit of extra cash.
