Visuals:
The graphics for Forza motorsport 3 are absolutely breath taking, the detail's to the environments and cars and trucks are stunning you will not be disappointed in visuals at all. I'll talk about the detail's to the cars and some of the trucks that are in this game and the detail to the cars are great in most parts of the game and when driving the car from the third person view or from the behind over the back end of the car when in that view and the is the view I prefer and I know most people prefer the cockpit view over my prefer view but that cool, but more the cars and trucks and like in Forza 2 they are just spectacular and they are in such great detail from all the great dealerships from around the world and they're more cars then trucks but still they are also in great detail and you will not be disappointed in the look of what ever it is your heart desires in driving for most part of this game. The detail to all the different local's that you'll be racing in this game are just phenomenal to look at if you take a few moments to take it all in while you are in first place of a race or while you are testing your car in the test track after you have tuned, upgraded, painted and put some vinyl's on your car to just see if you got your car the way you wanted it and not just the familiar local's look great but even some of the new and made up tracks all look great along with that the detail to the beautiful sky that you will have to look at looks breath taking. So with the detail's to the cars, trucks and the environment such as the tracks you race on and the scenery all around the tracks the visuals for this game is just plain phenomenal. The only let down for the visuals in this great game is the cockpit view and this is probably the only thing some other developers might have over this great series is that they have great cockpit views and in this game it's the only let down and it kind looks like it should be in some sort of cartoon with bad textures for this view, but other then that this game is still quite phenomenal.
Audio:
The sound of all the cars in the the game sound really great and from this developer Turn 10 they worked hard to get all 500+ cars to sound absolutely like their counter parts is really awesome and the music in the game is pretty great, and having a good narrator for this game is great for letting you know on what you have selected and help guide you through the main menu's and all the selections you pick. I'll start with the music/ or sound track for this game and the sound track/ music in this game is pretty great and you do not just have the music just in the menu's like in the last game where you only got the music while you were on the menu screens up-grading your car, putting a tune setup for your car or even while you are in the auction house, but in this game you get the music and sound track while you are racing and still with the sound and you get a narrator for this to help explain what you have selected or even to tell about what you would like to do next after a season in this game or even tell you that the car you are going to use for the next race is not qualified for the type of class of cars that you will be racing against next and tell you to upgrade your car class or even down grade your car as well. The sound effect for all the 500+ cars that are in this game sound exactly like their real life counter parts if you drive a Ferrari it will sound just like it and any other car you drive or which ever car is you favorite they all sound great and Turn 10 made sure of that when making this great game's audio. The audio for this game is just absolutely amazing and the work on the audio for this game was done beautifully.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is tons of fun, and lot of replay value, and their is tons of things to do in Forza motorsport 3 like you have a career mode that will take up most of your time doing, then you have an auction house, the storefront, creating decals vinyl and selling them in the storefront to help you earn some credits/cash when you are not playing the game, the on-line is great as well their is tons of things to do in this spectacular game like be part of on-line tournaments, on-line career modes I think and you can also do Drag race's and long with that you can do Drift races as well. Oh yeah I was saving this feature for last is you do not have to be the best racer in this game cause their is a rewind button that makes racing so much easier and don't have to restart the race every time you get in a accident just hit the rewind button then try that section again. I talk a bit about the handling of the cars and every as it's on style of handling which you can tune to your hearts desire, but most of all the cars in this game handle just great and their will be some you might have to tune and upgrade to where it will handle just right for your self and the same goes for when you want to drift in the on-line races as well cause not every car will be able to drift the way you would like it to, but still most of the cars in this great game handle really well and their should not be to much problem's with them at all and if their are and like I said you can just tune the care and up-grade it to how ever you would like it. So with the game play where I mention both the single-player and on-line they are just both great and with the robust career mode and everything else you can do with the storefront and tuning and upgrade shops and lots of things to do in the on-line their is something for everyone and what ever you like to do their is tons of fun to be had here and the game gameplay is just spectacular.
Overall:
The overall for Forza Motorsport 3 is this is a must have in your collection and is a must play as well. I absolutely recommend this game for any racing fan and any one who would like to try it, this game has long lasting appeal and is tons of fun. Pick it up especially the Collector's/Ultimate edition cause it will save you some cash on the down loadable content that's included with it, so you don't have to get Microsoft Point's to get all the dlc, so pick it up this great game or even pick up the Collector's/Ultimate edition and you can find this game for about $30 dollars or less new or used and you can find Collector's/Ultimate edition that has all the DLC for it for about and in between $40-$80 dollars depending where you live in the North America, Europe and Asia so prices may very, Great work Turn 10, keep up the great work.
