Forza 3 is the latest racing simulator on offer from Microsoft, the sequel to the highly successful Forza Motorsport 2. This game is certain to rival Sony’s racing simulator offering, Grand Turismo.

New additions to the game include an in-car driving view, one button assisted driving, vehicle rollover, and for the first time in the series, SUVs. Besides that, the game also features the ability to paint race cars, which was an improvement considering Forza Motorsport 2 only allowed for production and tuner cars to be painted. Also included is the ability to create in-game videos and upload them to the Forza Motorsport website, offering gamers a chance to show off their previous great victory for everyone to see. Forza Motorsport 3 is shipped on two discs, but can be played completely off the first; the second disc serves as the "installation disc," which contains 104 extra cars, which brings the total amount of cars to 405, and a few extra tracks, all 1.9GB in total.

Here are some images from the game, feel free to drool over the stunning graphics and realistic gameplay:










We’ve played this over the Xbox console and we can assure fans out there that if you are a motorsport fan, this will surely provide hours of racing fun. The graphics, sound, and gameplay have been greatly improved, and do not disappoint anyone who would splurge for this game.
