Every once in a while, a game comes along for the 360 that simply consumes me right up until the point where my fingers begin to bleed.
Forza 3 is a spectacular driving game in the vein that SHOULD cause Gran Turismo some distress – and rightly so, that game is the biggest turd of the year with it’s awesomely unsimulator type handling, lack of crash damage modelling and, a bug bear for me, a complete lack of any skidmarks or wheelspin marks on the road.
It doesn’t boast the largest collection of cars on the market, but it does have all the coolest. On a HD plasma, it looks delicious, suffers no visible framerate loss and has a quality of audio that really makes excellent use of full surround.
Multiplayer is where this game lives and despite a slightly lacking matchmaking facility, once you’re in a full lobby, you are guaranteed a fabulously exciting arena for bumper to bumper racing that rewards the careful and punishes the wreckless.
This is the greatest car game ever made. Oh and with my special edition awesomes box, I have a funky keyring and USB stick too.

Awesome game, I bought an XBox360 especially for it and have no regrets since!
