Metacritic scores

Forza Motorsport: 92 (Gamespot: 9.2)

Forza Motorsport 2: 90 (Gamespot: 9.2)

Forza Motorsport 3: 93 (Gamespot: 9.5)

Turn 10 really knows what they're doing

Funny how most reviewers dont agree (when concerning GT5 anyway).... I know it's just a score but when most critics rate one game higher then the other (GT5), you have to wonder why. Maybe it's because the higher rated game is actually better?

Brilliant series who many GT Fans laughed at for even being compared with GT4/5. Egg on face now i guess.

I have to say despite owning a PS3 I did play Forza 3 and it is much better than GT5.

Forza 3 just didn't beat it the game destroyed it in terms of excellence and it took less time to make.

Yup, it's a great driving series. I think Turn 10 should scrap the insanely bright white menu and the calendar system from Forza 3 though. I'd agree that it's the best series this generation, but my best driving game this generation has been Dirt 2.

I only owned a 360 for a short time but I did play Forza 3 and from I played it is a superior game to Gran Turismo 5 in everyway shape and form.

GT1, 2 and 3 were the best for their time but currently, no doubt that Forza are the best series.

Yeah, it's a good game, deserving of it'd score. I prefer GT5's handling model though, and the lack of ability to use third party wheels sucks, plain and simple.

Yup. Another victory for the great Xbox360, Turn10 and Microsoft. :D

Forza3 is awesome. It was another great decision by MS to include the game in their 2010 Holiday Bundle. :)

Well "better" is very subjective. I can like a 6.0 game more than some 9.5 one and nobody can do anything about it.

Keep on telling yourself that. If GT5 were the better game, we would be seeing higher scores than 8 on GS and MC/GR averages also in the 80's. :lol:

probly, but i think there's a chance dirt 3 gets a 9.5, dirt 2 is awsome, i probly like forza better but dirt 2 was a lotta fun and im expecting big things from dirt 3, plus if they ever scored iracing it would be an automatic 10

Forza 3 is a better game than GT5 but not gameplay wise. There's absolutely nothing wrong with GT5's gameplay (maybe lacks a bit of AI), just the design of things.

So really...just play the two to see the difference. Just read the GT5 reviews to easily see that GT5 is the number 1 on consoles when it comes down to simulating driving physics.

personally i would say GT5s car handling is superior to most if not all other console racing games, but thats it in terms of gameplay, the AI, the feeling and sound of impacts, can easily be found in superior form elsewhere on consoles.

I've sunk hours and hours into both. GT5 does have more believable physics, but FM3 is only slightly behind. As I said though. It was your opinion. I got the idea you were trying to pass it off as fact.

If you've played it, you would know it is.

In the past six years, Turn 10 has released 3x AAA games. In the past six years, Polyphony Digital has released 2x AA and 2x A games (GT5 and Tourist Trophy; GT5P and GTPSP). There might actually be something to the average consensus... especially when it remains so consistent over half a decade.
