Standards are supposed to change over time and yet Forza 3 scores higher than Forza 2 while adding nothing essential to the genre or the gameplay? It makes no sense. If you look at the GT series they constantly improve over their previous games and add new features, MUCH improved graphics, bonus content and gameplay mechanics.

Why is there a double standard when regarding Forza and GT? It's ridiculous. Forza 3 deserves an 8.0-8.5, not a 9.5.

You fail at damage control. Forza 3 is 9.5, accept the score, move on.

Oh. My. God. You are so right. I just had an epiphany. Hey, guys. Let's change the score, just for System Wars, since clearly we can't magically change the reviewers opinion(haha what a trick that would be...) Thanks Aku, you are a genius.

GT constantly improve? Hah, visuals yeah maybe, but everything else they're playing catch-up with. Face it, Forza 3 is the definitive racing game.

What about the added tracks, game modes, better customization, quicker interface, and added variables to the racing physics and gameplay which are obvious the second you play FM3 coming from FM2? I guess these don't count.

Too bad it won't change the score. ;)

In my opinion, no racing game should be able to get a 9.5.

And I played the Forza 3 demo, and I did not like it at all. The graphics were great but the rewind feature is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Thing is Gamespot and even IGN's opinion is always going to be more respected and listened to than some forum fanboy. There is no way around this fact so you might as well come to grips with it accept it and move on.

Apparently chess takes no skill because you have "infinite" time to make a move. :|

Really though, this Forza vs GT crap is annoying. Can people just not enjoy good games?

by that logic Killzone 2 should get its score lowered because other then increased visual quality it really brought nothing new to the table but gues what, neither games are getting there scores lowerd, and both are still amazing :|

I tried it and then after 16 minutes returned it back to gamestop and got dirt 2 instead. There wasn't anything special about forza 3.

Oh well.

It's a score. Why care if you're not playing the game anyways?

If you play it and don't like it, well you can review it or blog it. If you didn't play it, you can't realy complain about the score.

You could say how much GS is biased towards MS in your opinion. And some people will care, most won't.

I did't think a racing game could have a score as high as 9.5, especially with the flaws 360 owners are complaining about. It seems absurd to me. But then again, I haven't played it. Maybe it is worth 9.5. I don't know.

And I don't really care.

When someone picks such exact timing (not 15 or 20), then you know something isn't right.

Didn't you hear his Xbox 360 got the RRoD and his profile was corrupted, so he has a new profile that doesn't have the Forza game on it. :roll:

Two things I've learned from system wars:

1. Great Read - is always some incomprehensible fanboy drivel masquerading as cogent argument, or its a wall of text that does the same, or its something someone copied from somewhere else that doesn't say or having to do with what the TC thinks, and

2. Proof Inside - is always some completely irrelevant thought, is some made up statistic, involves some outlandish conspiracy, or is nothing more than the TC's opinion.

Yet again, I am not disappointed.

Aku, just stop, you are such a fanboy- and it is so freaking annoying... we all know you think the PlayStation 3 is the greatest thing since women, but c'mon...

If you really wanna show your love, apply for a job at Sony... you already advertise for them.
