***The Official Forza Motorsport 3 Thread***

Arrived today - loving it.

Took me seven attempts to win third race (kept coming second - god damn Twingo) with +45% in assists (manual, no stability control, few other things)

No Grande Punto though :(
 
What are the prize cars like? I hate it when you do a single make race and end up winning the car you were driving in the race anyway.

The worst offender for this was GT4. IIRC there was a VW Beetle RSi race, where you won... a bog standard Beetle... RRRRRAGE!
 
Prize cars are normally pretty good, they tend to give you cars that 'open up' other events/championships in the carreer.
 
Prize cars so far for me (Level 9) have been great, had to give in and buy/spend a bit on a Datsun 510, just entered it in the coupe competition now, pic of it on my storefront, if that storefront is working! lol :)

Cheets, its in pics, not replays ;)
 
LE arrived today...absolutely fantastic, going to keep me occupied for months.

Dumb question but on the first section of the Circuit Leaderboards (before you select individual circuits) whats with the first column of times? I'm placed 1000'odd with 615H xx:xx mins/secs - first place has got something like 400H xx:xx mins/secs, what do these times designate?

Also I'm looking for some mature friends to race with on MP; haven't any friends on Live yet apart from my son!

My Live name is Snubberoo

Cheers,
 
Just had my first play earlier, first car i chose was the fiesta ZS. Then went straight to the paint editor lol!

Working on an OCUK car design :p

I've put a picture on my storefront as the photo upload to web isn't enabled yet! put in keyword "ocukcar" under picture search to see it!

Bought the Xbox wheel today for this, and I gotta say this is fantastic, the wheel and this game go together perfectly, I wouldnt play it without it!
 
Done the first 3-stage race, very very cool game.

I remember why Forza 2 took so much of my time up now :eek:

Have to stop for tonight though, got a job interview tomorrow and should really prepare for it :o

Wish me luck :P
 
Wow!

Just had a long race with an impreza breathing down my neck all the way through, dump halve hissing and spitting at me on every corner, felt like I was being chased by a king cobra! :eek:

The sounds on this game are brilliant, so much improved over Forza 2, hearing my big V8 growling away and hearing the impreza's tone behind me, spooling up, hissing down, ooh la la!

Time for total races I assume, if you haven't completed the race you will have a default time.
 
Hmmm...

Anyone else finding the career mode a bit...easy? I've got the AI set to max and the only assists are auto-gears and ABS, and I've got a 100% record after 25-odd races so far.

It also feels like the same old plod through a long list of events like previous games, I was really hoping they would do something to set it apart.

Great game in it's own right, but I'm just not blown away by it in any way so far.

Are the turbo sounds much better? In FM2 you could just about hear the dump value on a race turbo :/
