Forza 3

Perhaps requesting the package is laden with lead.

Or gold

I like the sound of that. I'll get onto them straight away.

Seriously though, if my order doesn't come, I'll just go and buy it using my Game store card, then return the sealed Blockbuster one to Game and get my money back on the card.

Every cloud and all that.

If mine doesn't come, I'll just wait

Anyways, I'm waiting til Thursday for the announcement of whether the strike is going ahead, and if so I'll phone up Blockbuster and find out if they offer any other delivery methods

Fortunately my 360 and Forza 3 bundle is not delivered by Royal Mail

Just had a look at my order from Gameseek & they ship via Royal Mail . Trust me, I would never let Royal Mail near anything important. I worked there for 7 years as a sorter and Packets are thrown about.

9/10. Not too bad :

Forza Motorsport 3 is only you, the car, the rubber and the road, in a blissful, never-bettered harmony - until the race ends, you pull back, and you get the bigger picture. Then you realise that that experience was just the centre of a huge, welcoming, flexible and shockingly complete package, a racing game that genuinely has a corner somewhere in it for everyone who loves cars, and a world-beating online platform to share that love with thousands of others. For 2009 at least, consider the racing game defined.

Was gonna say, no surprise in the score

Good read.

Have you seen GT planet and comments on YT? The Sony/GT fanboys are still dismissing it as a pretender despite all the AAA scores and countless superlatives used by games jurnos.

 

[Ja5on]

just been and ordered the Forz3 x360 bundle

just been and ordered the Forz3 x360 bundle

I imagine you will be one of many fella

I thought the review was fair enough apart from the comment about the environments which (going of the vids seen so far) seem to have much more detail than before with lush looking trees and great distancing imo

Not.....long.....now

Just had a review copy delivered to work!

Will have a play at lunch and let you all know what I think - anything you want me find out?

Hi there, i'm not sure if you've played GT5 but the V6 mk1 in the game is very well detailed, the dash etc. is spot on.

Could you tell me how well the V6 mk2 is modelled in Forza 3, how accurate is the cockpit view, and what about the engine noise ?

If they have nailed the accuracy of the V6 then i'm off to purchase the 360 Elite + Forza 3 bundle.

Cheers,

Si.

 

[Gaz.]

Hope mine arrives from play on time then, f**king RM c***s.

 

[Turkish]

I've not played Forza 3 but I'd imagine the exterior model will be the same as Forza 2. As for the interiors if the demo is anything to go by (same is the case of the exterior) don't expect them to be as perfect as GT5p visually. As for the engine note that will be far better than GT5p's variation on a kenwood food mixer that they use for all cars. That's before you get started on the physics

 

[Chris n nic]

It won't be as detailed as GT m8...but I would imagine it would sound spot on as most do on FM2......low revs in the Mk2 V6 is amazing and spot on imo

Agreed, I dont think the detail on the FM3 looks as good as GT5P for cockpit views. But I can assure you the sounds effect will be way way better. THe sound effects on FM2 were awesome. Ferrari 430 at full chat is awesome

 

[mortster]

cheers, to be honest i'd rather take the faithful sound of the Vee rather than detailed cockpit view...

going to be expensive month for me lol

Where did you order from and how much? The bundle is good value.

I remember one night on Forza 2 with some of the reprobates on here when I broke out my Carrera GT. Apparently you could hear it screaming its tits off about 1/4 of the way round the track, lol.

Game are doing it, but its only instore. I oredered from the braehead store.

Xbox 360 elite (Black) 250GB HD, 2 Controllers. and forza 3 = £250

 

[sneeks]

I think it also comes with 1 month Gold membership so no need to rush out and buy a Live subscription immediately.

 

[Turkish]

With a new console you generally get one months gold spread over 3 gamertags. So if you werent bothered about your tag/acheivements you could effectively have 3 months play online without paying.

Pretty good deal I thought

 

[sneeks]

It's a very good deal and the extra HDD space will be useful. I'll now have the dilemma of choosing which console to buy multi-platform games on.

 

[Turkish]

I tend to go on a combination of price, reviews, which version more of my mates will have. Having said that I can't imagine me ever buying a multiplay driving game on the ps3 thanks to its pitiful controller.

That vid shows a good reason not to use ABS. He braked about 50m too early, and the car was unbalanced all the way into the first corner.

Added ShopTo's £1.99 next day delivery, just to ensure I get it release day with all the strikes.

 

[Olliev8]

I think i'll be going into a shop on the day to get mine rather than relying on royal mail!

 

[FiXX]

^^ ditto, getting the lce from hmv for 30 quid friends with the manager ftw.

 

[DannyR]

If I didn't have LCE preordered from a while back I think I'd cancel and get it from the shop but I remember before that special editions are hard to get hold of in shops!

The Skyline sounds awesome in that video too
