What kind of game is it?
It's a simulation racing game, the third installment of a series that began in 2005 late in the life of the original Xbox. Forza 3 features a large amount of cars, a livery editor that allows custom graphics, and an active community.
Who's the Developer?
Turn 10 Studios is based in Redmond, WA. As racing specialists, the Forza series is their first significant game franchise.
I can't even drive stick!
Simulation racing games tend to be unfriendly to those who don't already love the inner workings of the automobile, but Forza 3 features helpful (and optional) driving assistance mechanics, such as automatic braking -- this will help you around tight corners, and learn when to brake and how much. You can also use a "rewind" feature to make multiple attempts at particularly challenging parts of a race.
What's in the Limited Edition?
You can only buy this from GameStop, but if you do, you'll get a 2GB USB key, VIP membership in the Forza community, a collector's edition car pack, and a theme for your 360's dashboard.
What'd we say?
Brian Leahy reviewed Forza 3 and gave it a score of 5/5:
If you are a car lover or sim fan, you owe it to yourself to go out and get Forza Motorsport 3. The entire package drips with polish and the physics-based gameplay is solid across all game modes. This title transcends a pure gaming experience to become something of a virtual driving tool. Forza 3 is a deep simulation experience and it’s the best racer available on any platform right now.

Oh, so many misplaced apostrophes. Don't they have spell check on these forum things? Have any of you gone to school? Why do you fight over which game is better? How does it matter? Go play your games and have fun! You sound like a group of bickering 12-year-olds.
P.S. Spelling and grammar lessons for the lot of you.

I really dont have any appreciation or have respect for fanboy remarks. I have both systems and enjoy both systems. They both have their ups and downs so there is no reason to try to bring down a darn good game just because youre dedicated to one console. Theres no doubt Turn 10 took queues from Poly when making Forza, what good racing game hasnt since Gran Turismo came out more than a decade ago. They merely learned from one of the best and built upon the masterpiece they created to improve a genre and make an even better game, and I have no doubt that Poly is doing the same to deliver one of the best racing experiences well see in this generation. Im exciting to be able to pick up my copy of Forza in a few hours and just as excited to be preordering GT5 once they release details on a collectors ed. Two good rules of thumb in gaming these days that people seem to ignore all the time: Dont take anything at face value, there are many games out there that might not have gotten the greatest of reviews but might became your next favorite game once you try it out. you cant rely on other people and numbers to tell you what youre going to like, you just gotta go out there and find out yourself. 2: make your voice heard, if you like (or dont like) something in a game or a game in particular spread the word, a lot of things pick up popularity by word of mouth. Game developers are always listening to feed back from their fans to find out how they can improve upon things for their next game. Dev's like Bioware and IW do a great job. You can just take Mass Effect and MW as excellent examples. These games were a vast improvement over their predecessor's and their sequels look even better. They have in the past even openly asked fans to email them about features theyd like to see in these games and have obviously delivered (just take a look at mp info and vids for MW2 or info on Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age Origins). And if youre too concerned about money when trying out new games, Sony and Microsoft are both great about making Demo's available, and you cant forget about gamefly either, its a good way to try out games and maybe even buy them for a cheaper price if you like it. Just dont whine about good games and consoles. It really just makes you look jealous cause you cant have it and want something more. and honestly, I think thats really what it comes down to for most people out there. Were a covetous and greedy society. we see something that someone else has and we want it. So go out there and get a job and buy it yourself. Just dont hate on people who have earned it.

I like the game, but what I really wanted to see is the stuff they did in the first trailer they shown at E3. like driving backwards and stuff. I try doing it in the game but I did the following:
