Well my brother inlaw to be brought over his 360 on Saturday night for some gaming.

I promptly downloaded the Forza 3 demo (he isnt into cars so hasnt got the full game).

I wasnt really expecting much to be honest, used to have a 360 myself and found Forza 2 to be quite a let down.

However Forza 3 was/is rather fun! The driving seems to have more feel in it compared to the last one plus the way the damage effects your car is better.

The only things that let it down in my view was that the external damage is still pretty much bumpers and stuff (ie no structual damage after a head on at 150mph). Plus I though the details on the car and the interior could have been better.

However it has made me hunt ebay for a cheap 360 elite smile

the actual game is 10x better than the demo.. however the interior is still crap. find a cheap copy of NFS shift if you want interior detail!

The demo was pretty poor compared to the full game as well. The physics are far better, made me think some thing were toned down or removed from the demo to make the file size smaller.

I quite like it, but I don't think it is as good as the second one, its just more of the same really. I need another Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 or another PGR and then we'll be talking.

Well picked up a Jasper Elite from ebay for £95 new! Sadly its just the console so got to purchase a HDD and Controller, however as I am not fussy about the controllers colour or the size of the HDD I can probably get both for around £20

Probably in the respect that you can feel the level of grip even more and the steering has more weight to it. The FFB has been reworked and with some cars you can really feel the road your driving on.

hehe I suppose you need a steering wheel to get any of that as I haven't noticed it with the controller. I always think about getting a steering wheel but the last one I had the novelty wore off after a few months and then I didn't use it for years. Still randomly managed to sell the thing though!

Ah, but Rob I use a controller. The changes are subtle, but when you've played the amount of hours I have then you notice these things......

e.g I don't really notice much difference between Cod 4 and 6..... as I'm st at them both hehe

I don't notice much difference either. Just more of the same with different maps!
I haven't played forza 2 for half a year though so maybe thats why. But when i play 3 it does seem the same. Except for the manual gear change with clutch, that makes the game a lot more fun!

I find it a lot more engaging than forza 2. Not really sure why... it's prettier I guess and I seem to have found a level where I really have to work hard to win which is what I much prefer over beating the xbox cars by miles. I never really found that level with 2.

Get fussed about HDD size, 20GB fills up alarmingly quickly. I have an Elite with a 120GB and i am conisdering a superelite.
