Reviews: Forza 3 Video Review

DUDER, no video. This will be awesome.

SECOND POST!

Video Review!! hehe
I'm gonna go play more Forza 2. I gots no monies. :(

Im liking the amount of video reviews over the past few days, always entertaining to watch.

Finally, a review that people aren't going ballistic over.

Looks slick.

It looks too Arcadey, Gran Turismo 5:The Real Driving Simulator is what I'd rather play tbh.

More content is better content.

I want this so bad. :(

Awesome review!

Perhaps you should try actually playing the game then?  In my opinion, Gran Turismo shouldn't be allowed to use the title "real driving simulator" anymore, because Forza is far more realistic and offers a lot tuning and customisation options.  But well done, we at least managed to go 5 posts before someone brought up GT. "

lol, a pink Hello kitty F40

Man! That hello kitty skin is Badass!
Man, the Giant Bomb video reviews are so great,

good job on all the video reviews. 

Hello Kitty? ... bahahahahaha!!!

Get the t-shirt and you will own for life man!

How is a Rewind button more realistic, if you crash in real life there's no rewind button.  Anyways, like I said, I'm going to put my $300 towards a driving wheel+GT5:The Real Driving Simulator when it comes out. "

I'll probably end up buying this. Looks great.
 
I need something to hold me over until GT5 in March. :\

The amount of video reviews and quick looks you've put up over the past two weeks or so is AMAZING!  Keep up the great work guys.  I just pre-ordered the limited collector's edition of this game today!

Hello Kitty FTW.
 
Can't wait for this and DJ Hero.
 
Really liking the constant stream of video content from Giant Bomb, I'm hoping to see great video reviews on Borderlands and DJ Hero.

There are options and assists to make the game easier to play for the more casual audiance.  Not everyone who buys games wants a 100% realistic experience, and I think you'll find Gran Turismo also has a number of assist options you can turn off.  I meant the core driving mechanics in Forza are more realistic.  Rewind can be used if you screw up in an endurance race and don't feel like repeating the entire race again.  I think it's a great options to help teach newer players how to play the game, instead of getting frustrated and throwing the controller away, they can simply go back and see what they did wrong.  However, doing so will mark your time on the leaderboard as uncertified.  If you're worried about "noobs screwing up the game".

" @Frumpy: Because you have to use the rewind button?  Sometimes I just dont get people's logic.  Its not like your hotlap times go up on the same leaderboard when you rewind, and you cant use it online so why does it matter?  Use it if you want or dont, god forbid people play a game the way they want to and have fun with it.

Have you seen the customization options in Forza? Also, I think we've all been in situations where it's nearing the end of an endurance race, wreck, and never want to do that race again. The rewind feature isn't to make it less realistic, it's to make it more accessible to people. I have to agree with Jeff, if I screwed up on lap 39 of 40, I wouldn't want to pick up the controller for a while or do that race again just because of 1 mistake.  Woot, saw the Imprezas in there. "

Only one week until release in EU. It will be awesome! I have my limited edition pre-ordered and ready to go! The only thing I wish Forza did was crazy historical cars like GT. It's not essential, but being able to drive a bunch of old cars is pretty fun. However the pros outweighs the cons by a lot.

I don't want a Rewind button in a driving S-I-M-U-L-A-T-O-R, in an Arcade game?Sure, I'd love a Rewind button in Burnout.  Like I said, GT5:The Real Driving Simulator is where I will be spending my money. If for some reason I want another Arcadey racing game(Already have Burnout, Pure, NFS, etc) then I'll rent Forza. "

Options and assists=Arcade. If Gran Turismo 5:The Real Driving Simulator also has the same 'options' and 'assists', it will be an Arcadey game too.  But it also has Nascar, WRC, 1000 cars, 80 tracks, new physics engine, dynamic weather racing, much better graphics, support for more driving wheels, and a lot more. So that's why I'd rather invest my time and money into GT5.  Plus it will have like a Zillion more players than Forza 3, so the Online mode will always be healthier. "

Anyways I've got to go catch a movie, again, if I feel like playing an Arcadey experience down the line then I'll definitely rent Forza 3.

Guys, he signed up just to hate on the game, calm down.

This is one of the few Microsoft products I really am eager to buy. 
 
They did so many things right. Brian Beckman is a fan, which probably helps too. 
 
I like racing games although would never drive a car in real life - and didn't the past 4 decades.

<sigh>
 
Don't feed the trolls.

Well it's worth pointing out that a lot of places in the UK are sending the game early to make up for the postal strikes.  GAME are getting ready to ship the games tomorrow or Monday, so we should hopefully start getting our copies on Tuesday.

Or IF YOU'VE GOT FRIENDS!

Loving how you guys are doing video reviews again! You probably have a lot more time for them now that TANG/ER are done for now.

"If you like car you'll like Forza." Well maybe I should b.... 'Hello Kitty Ferrari' *cringe!*

Yeah video reviews. I know they are a lot of work, but would love to see more in the future.

It's impossible to discuss the relative merits of a game that is out versus a game that is not out.

I am not into cars and I am thinking of getting this game.  It looks real good.

I can't wait for this game.
