Microsoft South Africa finally let loose the Forza Motorsport 3 game for the XBox 360 console. Launched at the Rand Airport in Ekurhuleni the Forza 3 racing game is very much everything that any boy racer wants. A range of over 400 cars is available for players to choose from, from the classics Ferrari 250 GTO to the brand new Ferrari 458 Italia, the Bugatti Veyron to the Audi R8 V10, BMW M5 to Dodge Ram SRT10s, it’s all here. Even some racing cars can be driven, such as the Audi R15 Le Mans car. One of the best things is that you don’t have to win races or unlock any hidden garages to get your dream car; just go and click on it. So anyone can play.
You can play single player mode or you can choose a sparring partner to test each other out. Those on XBox Live can connect to a global community and play against others in other countries. Players are able to pick from a wide range of different racing tracks, some very famous like the Nurburgring while others are relatively unknown.
I had a few turns on the game itself and boy was I blown away. One of the main reasons Forza has been so successful as a gaming genre is because of the level of detail displayed in its games. Forza 3 takes it to the next level. So advanced is the rendering engine that it even shows cracks on the tar while you drive! Not content on that the cars are also very detailed and reflect reality when bumped or scratched during a race.
Put up the volume when playing Forza 3 as most of the cars sound quite sensational and are exceptionally close to the real deal.
