Classic Game Room HD - FORZA 3 review Part 2

Classic Game Room HD reviews FORZA Motorsport 3 for Xbox 360. Forza 3 is the huge sequel to the immensely popular Forza 2 which was released in 2007. This CGR review of Forza 3 has gameplay from Forza 3 showing game play of cars in Forza 3 on Xbox 360 in HD. Numerous makes and models, dozens of tracks and car customization "Forza" style, Forza 3 packs a lot of content but differs little from Forza 2. Visually the game is a bit disappointing with stale graphics, sloppy backgrounds and stereotypical weather effects. This is 2009 and they can do better. Need for Speed Shift did better and I expected more from Forza 3. As CGR is an avid Forza 2 fan there's a bit of hair splitting disappointment with Forza 3, but it's still an amazing game packing hours and weeks of gameplay. The graphics creation program is relatively similar except this time you can design on a white clipboard rather than just on the hood of the car. Numerous new cars are in the game like the Nissan 370 Z, numerous old cars are in the game like the old school Chevrolet Camaro. Most of your favorite tracks from the previous game return, a nice cockpit view is added and collision damage is as much fun as it ever was. A crappy rewind feature was inserted to make Forza 3 more casual and I felt it was generally easier all around. Fans of the series may feel like they've seen it all before, others may not care and soak up the cockpit view and new tracks. In any event, Forza 3 delivers a lot of driving on Xbox 360.

I love the way Mark smacks down the illiterate internet fools in this review. Long overdue, perhaps a Forza book might help them on their way. This is a very fine game.

I love your reviews. You're talking about games from a regular gamer's point of view, not like commercial game web sites. The grammar lesson was the perfect response to those trolls.

While the first part of the review sounded like "oh, I was expecting so much and they let ME down so it sucks", this one was spot-on. The first one sounded like you bought into the marketing hype, and with this one you ripped that marketing apart. Great job, Mark. Probably my favorite review of yours!

[kekke]

Great Review! You really reveal the soul of the games instead of a shallow boring regular review! :D

The name of the track that he is referring to at 3:35 is Camino Viejo de Montserrat. I use that track for testing my car settings and stuff.

[olguinmarcelo]

You have the most honest to god reviews with the viewpoint of a true visionary. Good job. Cant wait for the hopefully soon review on Gran Turismo 5.

[DemonDracoFox]

You're NOT an idiot.

You explained in detail what your problems were with this game without bashing it. And you were right about it all.

[kylelee]

/ Love the review Mark as always . Also I enjoyed the grammar lesson haha . Funny as hell .

[juincey]

hahahaha i swear i laughed for five minutes straight at YOUR world class analysis. YOU'RE a great reviewer mark!

[RonnyWho]

@iTalkAppleOnly Ya i would be exited for that only... I dont own a PS3 sadly ):
A few of my mates do though...Mabye ill play theirs.
But do you know if they are going to have it in Turis 5?

[otter-pro]

Always an awesome review. Not just because of review itself but also the dry witty humor. Keep up the good work.

Development started sometime in 2005, just after GT4 came out. I think they said it an interview that the occasional updates and DLC packs are slowly making the game into what it was supposed to be if they had all the time they wanted, so at this point, I suppose it technically is 7 years in development.

[stephenthompson]

Just got back into the 360 picked this gem up feels like meeting up with an old friend... Love this game and Forza 4

[tuthill]

Probably one of the funniest reviews I've ever seen/heard i disagree with some of it but still entertaining to listen to, even reading the back of the case haha

[PatrickECruz]

It's because it wasn't fully processed at the time you viewed it.

When video's are uploaded it takes a few minutes before it's fully processed for HD.

[MercSLRFan]

That's amazing.
You finally read something by Shakespeare and you just couldn't resist not letting the word know about it.
Even if it was through a comment on a GAME review.

[UhhhhhnooOOooO]

I enjoy your (not you're) reviews immensely! You are the best reviewer of games or any other form of entertainment that, I have come across. I enjoy your intelligence and candor as well and this (Part 2) revs it up. What are two intelligent poeple doing playing video games? I guess a happy retreat from the stresses of life or A KICK ASS FUN TIME! Your wit and sarcasm is quite refreshing. Keep it up and your going all the way to the top!!! (pf what, I have no idea) Another great review!

[Jonman]

Haha, pretty funny review! Oh and just for the record... the "Where dreams are driven" slogan is part of a longer campaign. They basically said "everyone has a dream car and in this game you can drive that dream car"

[Stinger]

You can get reviews of games on any gaming-related website. The randomness in these reviews is part of the appeal of watching them.

Evidently you haven't watched a lot of his reviews.
