Forza Motorsport 3 Update (Various)

[lnin0]

Forza remains a fantastic physics engine bundled in a very average arcade wrapper. It is quite an oddity and the more news I hear of Forza 3 the more I think GT5 might sell me on picking up a PS3.

The latest news - no day/night cycles, no night races, no weather except sunny, no punctures and no pit crews (although pit stops are still in the game but unknown if they are improved). Oh, but they do have SUVs!!!

Yeah, I can't believe people are so pissed about 8 cars when we finally have rollover crashes and things of that nature. I totally respect it, however, because hey, we want what we want.

I'm just glad Forza has come along and provided what GT used to provide me when I was a playstation owner back in the day..... without taking forever to do it. I'm amazed at the interior shots of the LMP cars on the Le Mans blog... Holy crap!

Once GT5 comes out... and maybe with another price drop... I think it merits the purchase on its own, especially if you're like me and you've been itching to play "The Show" on next gen
