hmm i dont know yet

im a big forza fan i got the first 2 but i kinda couldnt get my teeth into the second one the races are too short


now what i mean by that is that say you select for example
subaru vs honda you get to do 3/4 races then that series is finished so you pretty much have to come first in every race

now what i would like to see in forza 3 is a proper race season im going to use f1 just as an example to get my point across

f1 16+ races per season you have to think stratagy here
say if your trailing by so many points and
you get in to 3rd do you push for a higer place and risk crashing spining off and losing the points you allready have or.. do you ease of a bit and collect the points for third and fight your way up the drivers table ???

unfortunatly this doesnt work that well when you only have 3/4 races


im might get it or i might wait for that new f1 game that is coming soon ??

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!

Picked it up on Friday but get this!!! You can't even change the number of laps in a free race. You're stuck with what they give you; for example; silverstone gp circuit is something like 3 laps.
The game seems ok enough in the handling sense but there's a certain lack in sense of speed & i was really hoping that a so-called realistic motor sport game could get out of the mentality of only having an 8 car line-up on grid & not feeling the need to leave out quali laps.

Other curious ailments that don't detract from the gameplay is a complete lack of the driver actually changing gear or pulling on the handbrake (his hands are always jammed to the wheel) & the cockpit windows completely lacking glass??? There's no reflection or blemishes & no glass deformation.

Slightly disappointed I must admit but the car-painting feature is worth the price alone IMO & this game has an awesome editor & community setup &, until GT5, what is there as the new F1 game is sounding bad already .... apparently using the ultra arcade GRID graphics & platform so you can forget pace cars, pit lane starts from engine problems etc.
