So make of this what you will. I love Forza 3 and I pretty much skipped Need for Speed Shift to buy Forza instead.  But I Gameflyed Need for Speed Shift and I love it and hate it.  I love the way some of the cars drive and how the A.I. isn't total crap.  What I do hate is just about everything else about the game.  I'm currently Tier 4 in the game but haven't tried any of the REALLY powerful cars yet.  I wanted to finish the lower tiers first.  However, I DO NOT intend on purchasing this game.  So, I wanted to know if anyone has tried to tune Forza 3 to play similarly or is it just impossible? I think this might involve turning up the A.I. and maybe turning off some assists but I'm not sure that will do it.  The sense of speed and the competitiveness of the A.I. are mainly what I like; but the overall difficulty in Forza 3 seems very black and white, they either make lots of mistakes or they drive perfectly.
     But maybe I am totally wrong here, let me know what you guys think.  Only comment if you have played both games. No fanboys please....
