Xbox 360 User Reviews

Jogo incrível, quando você coloca no modo difícil aí que você sente a dificuldade de verdade, essa foi uma época de ouro! Ainda quando os jogos eram difíceis e sem falar nos carros! Tanto carro que hoje em dia é considerado "novidade" nos forzas atuais.

A big upgrade to its predecessor! I grew accustomed to the games more sophisticated elements/theme, that remind me of modern gran turismo titles. But it still offers a boost in graphical performance and driving mechanics, that make this a fun sim-racing experience! *PS* I love the progressive campaign also!

Forza motorsport 3 it's my first race game, usually i play this game because i have nostalgia and, it's really fun and i think the best forza game ever make.

The Forza motorsport Golden years is oftern thought to orignate with this game, the leveling mechanic is likely the best in the series, with many of the games features being worked on for its sequel, this is the foundation of it all, and in many ways, including the leveling, it outwheighs its sequel.

The thing is about this game is that it has a BIG change in formulae. Going from 2-3, everything has changed with handling, physics, more cars etc... The reason why it ranks above Fm2 and 4 is because it is an overhaul of sorts. STILL what an incredible game this was at the time and in fact I was thinking to bring this game to a friends house who still has a 360 to this very day.

The second best simulator racing game of all time, after FM 4, the third best is FM 7, then FM6, etc. 10/10 ;)

Vou falar uma coisa Maravilha

This game is a masterclass in refinement, polish, and sports simulation. While this year's changes may seem minor on the surface, they combine flawlessly to create an experience that surpasses its predecessor in every way.

2023 Take on the game. 9/10 Near perfect sim-cade. Gets you to love racing all over again I'm not going to do the comparison game between other forza motorsports I'm just going to talk about THIS game objectively based on the time it came out and how fun it is today. Cons -Money, if you want every car in this game.... good luck. I think you'll give up. OR maybe you're crazy like me and grind the game for hundreds of hours to afford that 60s Ferrari 250 GTO that costs 20 million credits. Hats off to you if you do it. -Difficulty, idk for me it's too easy, in this game the A.I. drive purely stock vehicles so it isn't hard until you get to the GT4, GT3, LMP cars. Thats when you have to actually try. I play a lot of Forza so maybe I'm just good :P -Unfortunately, you cannot buy the DLC for this game anymore. Which means if you have a vanilla copy you may be missing a decent amount of content, tracks and cars. I don't think Porsche is in the Vanilla game it came out as DLC, BUT there is RUF cars in the vanilla game so you will have Porsche based 911's so it's not all bad. And there is still a large collection of cars to choose from without the DLC. -You can still view online Leaderboard times, but I don't think it's possible to host online games. Local multiplayer is still fun. -Ummmm ya thats it PROS -Menu music. I'm sorry! It's so good I have to put it as the first point. I will literally sit in the menus for an hour just vibing I love it! -Car physics, it feels GREAT! Every car is unique, and it makes for an enticing way to experience cars in a realistic way. -Car sounds, cars sound amazing- especially for 2009 -Car quality and quantity, HUNDRED and HUNDREDS of superbly designed models. Gran Turismo 5 has NOTHING on this game when it came to visual quality of the cars. Not to mention EVERY car had an interior view. -Car customization, the game even rewards you for sticking to one brand by giving you discounts on upgrades. Not to mention every upgrade is branded. Meaning you don't just buy brakes you bought WILWOOD or BREMBO brakes. Those aren't just racing tires those are PIRELLI's. It adds more immersion to see the ACTUAL brands on your upgrades. It makes it feel like your car build is realistic and you could do it in real life. Finally, turning a **** into a track car is always addicting. -Tracks! Lots of racetracks, mostly real ones but a large selection of fantasy tracks that mimic real life circuits or roads and they are all fun to race on and look visually appealing even today. Some tracks are exclusive to this game. -Car variety, I challenge you to go through the car list and think of something thats missing. If you like muscle cars, sports cars, city commuters, luxury SUV's, gt racers, LMP, 90s touring cars, drift cars, historical racers, you name it. They got it. And it's a large list- I think something along 500+ cars. All customizable. -Long career mode. It will be a LONG time before you beat this game. It's got that Gran Turismo 4 length. There are soooooo many events and sooooo many cars to try and use to see which is best at each event. -Tuning, you might not care, but you can alter the dynamics of your car in a pretty realistic way. Camber, Spring Rates, Gear tuning, it's very nerdy but it's fun if you like getting into physics. Every car is important in this game. This is an era where Turn 10 really loved attention to detail. They loved cars and they loved their games they were making. This game doesn't feel rushed despite it releasing two years after the prequel. It feels great to play, amazingly even with the server's down on multiplayer I can still recommend this game. Even for people who have played other motorsports this is worth a visit. Spend some time here and you'll see what I mean. 9/10

They deceived me with Gran Turismo. I was his biggest fan and now I hate the saga for deceiving me by hiding this jewel that surpasses him in everything. He kicks Gran Turismo lying fanboys

The Forza series finds its own way by dumping the Gran Turismo format and introducing a linear chronological series of championships set over a season. The auto-upgrade option is very useful for those who can't be bothered to fiddle around with endless menus but it doesn't seem to make much difference whether you win races or not as the season ploughs onward regardless. Polished and technically impressive but more for those interested in "realism" rather than fun.

Forza Motorsport 3 is the best part of the Motorsport series. 4 part has already declined. For 2009, this is an amazing racing game with simulation elements. Yes to Gran Turismo 5 she is very far away, but this is not necessary. Forza has always been an arcade. Forza Motorsport 3 is superbly played and now, I have been re-entering it for 2 years and this is the first Forza that I passed 100%. True systemseller for Xbox360, it is a pity that due to copyright it is not available on backwards compatibility user Xbox One and Series S/X can not play it. Classics need to be remembered)

Mi primer juego en XBox 360 y fue un gran chasco. No es un mal juego, que no se mal interprete, pero su estilo de juego simple y corto en contenido me dejo bastante frío.

First motorsport game I played and wanted to compare it to Gran Turismo in my opinion for its time of release was far better.

Turn 10 have been making the Forza Motorsport series since 2005, and as of 2021, there are 7 games in the series (soon to be 8). But it's this one, released in 2009, that is the greatest of them all. This was my very first Forza title, and what an introduction to Forza it was. Every single about this game was absolutely perfect. The soundtrack, the car list, track list, career mode, everything. Turn 10 got everything right with this game, and I don't think the legendary status of this game will ever be replicated ever again.

Juegazo de conduccion de la xbox 360, en este juego llege a estar en el nivel maximo segui jugando sin aburrirme

I never really liked racing games (except for mario kart) however, this game was really good. Surprisingly, i even played through most of the campaign

Forza Motorsport 3 oferece uma excelente experiência de simulação para os amantes do gênero. Com uma vasta e impressionante quantidade de carros(que vão de SUVs até Supercarros), uma excelente quantidade de pistas e gráficos impressionantes, Forza Motorsport 3 é um título para os amantes do gênero, que por mais que possua um modo carreira que possa enjoar com o tempo e com o decorrer das corridas, ainda sim foi o melhor no que apresentou na época, colocando a supremacia de Gran Turismo em perigo.

A great and very fun car racing game. It doesn't do much exceptional or anything revolutionary, but it is still a very well made and entertaining experience.

My most played forza to date. Great selection of cars and tracks and solid visuals.

An game with best quality and relaxing menu music. I'm very a big fan of this game

This was my first introduction to the Forza series, and I must say that it's the best racing game I've played. My first time I played, I accidentally sold my Ferrari for a Ford GT without knowing that the GT was V8 and not a V12. Then I sold that for a Viper that had a V10. I tried to get another V12, but failed. I basically sold myself into a corner. So I started again, and got a Toyota Sprinter. They gifted me a very powerful car, so I sold it for 300k, and modded my Sprinter to a S class. So now, all I need to do is design it like the sprinter in Initial D, which might be very easy because of the HUGE Forza community. The only thing stopping me is that the servers are constantly down, which is why it gets a 9. This is WAY better than PGR4. I don't know why this game has a worse negative rating than it. But let me stop my review here and say this: This is the BEST racing simulation game I have EVER played. I'd like to count Carbon and Most wanted, but those aren't simulations, but more of a street racing game. This game is flat out the BEST racing sim you can buy.

On commencera par ce qui fâche, car à part l'ajout des **** (principale nouveauté dans ce troisième épisode), il manque tout de même les courses de nuit et la pluie, ainsi qu'une vue TV qui daigne remplir sa fonction correctement lors des ralentis, c'est-à-dire suivre l'action au lieu de tourner autour des bagnoles comme une conne. L'autre souci réside dans le mode carrière artificiellement rallongé et interminable... chez Turn 10, on pense que le "farmeur-pilaute" aime tourner, tourner et retourner... sans se lasser. Cela dit par rapport à FM2, le contenu a considérablement progressé avec notamment les courses de côte au Japon -un régal- et la présence de circuits réels et existants, une tendance qui se confirme dans les Forza suivants. Le reste du jeu reste fidèle à lui-même -ou plutôt à l'esprit de la série FM- tout en marquant de sensibles progrès -là encore- en matière de réalisme depuis le précédent : un compromis idéal entre simulation et facilité de prise en main, un plaisir de conduire bien présent, des commandes très précises qui exploitent à merveille la manette 360, des sons de moteur à citer en exemple et des graphismes soignés à 60 im/s. A noter qu'avec le volant GT2, c'est encore mieux, surtout avec les protos, un peu nerveux. Avec le recul des ans, on se rend compte de la pérennité étonnante de cet épisode là qui n'a pas à rougir à côté des opus suivants : FM3 est déjà l'épisode de la maturité.

stable and realistic graphics, great simulation, fabulos sensation of speed. Vinyls are a great detail. And the number of races gives us endless hours.

Lots of fun. Great detail on the cars & tracks. The only frustrating thing is when you go to pass a car (in single player), the A.I. doesn't sense your vehicle & won't give you a lane to race in. They'll force you to either pass them in the grass or on the outside, otherwise you'll either hit them or overdrive the corner. At that point, this game becomes frustrating. But overall, it's a great game & lots of fun.

What can I say, it was a pretty good game, but never really stuck around with me. Only logged in about an hour and a a half. Might pop it in my 360 soon.

Graphics: 9.0 Sound: 8.5 Gameplay: 9.0 Fun/Story: 9.0 A great improvement of Forza 2, especially on the much more detailed look and textures. Nice game.

This is my favorite racing game and series to date. Feels good and highly customizable. I haven't played any since this one, because my 3rd and final XBroke 360 **** the bed and I got locked out of my account to boot. Needless to say I will not be buying an **** One. F*ck you, Microsoft. You pieces of ****. Great game, though!

More of an add on to Forza 2 rather than a stand alone as, apart from a little tweak of the gameplay mechanics, the game is just the same except for added tracks and additional cars made between the two games. Worth getting for cheap if you have hammered 2 to the point of death.

First of all I do not own a X box 360 but I have played Forza 3 quite a bit. Firstly I really enjoyed the amount of creativity you could do to your cars visually, which some games simply don't offer. The driving was also quite fun and the competition was for he most part equal.

It was a great game, but in my reviews I am pretty much just giving you a short explanation on why I enjoyed it or didn't enjoy it. Not really too much about how good it really is, its my opinion what do I know That's why I give you my enjoyment of it because you can't tell me I'm wrong. And as good as a game this is, racing games just got boring and repetitive to me. To me racing is the same thing over and over again.

I want to love Forza. I've tried every single release hoping for the spark that made me love racing games. There are somethings it does fantastically well. the customisation is better than GT, the selection of cars is good if not really stellar and the aural aspect is high quality. It just seems to lack something. The presentation is more glitz and pizzaz than substance and real polish and unlike other games of the genre you are never really in the driving seat.. You are always aware that this is just another game.

This game is amazing. I have played lots of racing games and none have captured me the way this one has. The cars, parts, and car customization is one of my favorite parts. The only problem is the steep learning curve on adjusting the cars specific details if you don't know anything about cars.

I'm not much of a race car fan. I have never gotten into racing games but bought this used because a guest was coming up for a week and loves racing games. I have to say this is an incredible game. I have gotten lost in the designs and even the game play has had me on the edge of my seat. I've even got my eye on picking up a new copy of Forza Motorsport 4 thanks to my experience with 3!

Complete package. End of. Same detailed and easy-to-use customisation as Forza 2, auction house, tuning in sometimes painful detail, upgrades on virtually any component and hundreds of cars. Any car nut's dream. But as a racing game, it's boring in terms of driving. It's fine when this is ALL you play, but it's not fun and there's no sense of speed like in other racing games. I didn't like the online and many of the talented artists still go on forza 2 due to the bureaucratic censorhip of "inappropriate content". Whilst the career mode offers a greater variety in cars and events, there is still no drift mode- only circuit, sprints and drag races (which are EXTREMELY BORING). There are just enough additions to qualify for a sequel to Forza 2, but it's not as special. Still, a game that is worth recommending to anyone. You get more assist options, more tracks, cars, modes, events, drift leaderboards, time trials (which are secretly hidden away under the leaderboards menu), cckpit view and a structured season play. OK yes, every kind of car you can dream of, everything you'd ever want to do to it- upgrading, tuning, ANY paint job/livery etc. that's all well and good. But the gameplay has NOT changed. Turn 10 have failed to add additional game modes and objectives. Shift, for example, emphasises additional objectives and such so that even if all you're doing is driving around a track, there's always something else to go for- a greater goal. Here it just feels like grinding and, given the lack of a sense of speed (despite the unbelievably smooth framerate); I cannot recommend this game over NFS Shift as a game. As a simulator, it's excellent. I wouldn't say this game is as mainstream as Microsoft make out- it gets boring relatively quickly despite the plethora of assists available.

This is the best racing video game so I like this game a lot so I give this game..................... 9/10 really this game deserves !!!!! this rating

I'm a huge GT5 fan and after playing this game for 8 hrs straight at a friends place, I'm addicted. Selling my ps3, gt5 and buying an xbox for Forza 4 alone. The graphics are stunning and the physics are by far the best in any race game ever!

great game amazing graphics so much cars 400 is a lot and forza 4 as 500 top gear is their so get that technology gets better over time this game was amazing 2 years later the new game comes out 10/10

I am a racing game fan. Done them all, you name it. In my opinion Forza Motorsport 3 doesn`t exactly show the same progress like its predecessors did. The main thing I always look at while choosing a racing game is the sensation of actually driving a car. To be honest, Forza 3 falls in average cathegory in this respect. Gran Turismo is better with NFS SHIFT being the best. Given that I play thoset titles often, my first glance at FM3 made me recheck my console settings if I was running this at 1080p. Well, I did. Graphically this game is almost the same as FM2, just average. And no, I don`t rate graphics by watching the showcase rooms but the actual gameplay. **** are just rubbish, there is hardly any head movement that would show some G forces experienced by the driver. While driving in FM3 I feel as if I was a camera inside the car, steering it by a radio controller. The sense of speed is mediocre. The racing locations are merely on par with the competition. I love everything else about this game, but it doesn`t change the general impression one bit. When I feel like driving a virtual supercar, I choose NFS SHIFT or Gran Turismo.

Listen, I own both a 360 and PS3; and the only games I really get crazy about the ones that make me feel like I'm really behind the wheel of a car I wish I actually had. When Forza 1 was released, it was like a fresh breath of air; so fresh, that I found myself pre-ordering Forza 2; with the wheel. Long story short, I traded in my xbox 360 as I decided if I was going to own one console, it would be the PS3. Of course, I purchased GT5 and played the hell out of it... but I felt like something was missing. I couldn't figure out what, but even though I was happy with GT5, I thought, "Maybe IGN is right; if I liked GT5, maybe Forza will blow my mind... I remember how much I used to enjoy it...." - That was enough for me to buy another Xbox; luckily my nephew had an extra one. The second I got my "new" xbox, I ran to gamestop, literally, and picked up a long sought after copy of Forza 3.... I havent played it, or my Xbox 360 since.... No offense to Xbox fans; its a great system; I just dont own many games for it... and as I played Forza 3, I found myself completely disappointed. I found it unremarkable. The worst part, the part I just couldn't ignore, I found the cars themselves to be incredibly sluggish. The anti-aliasing is lower; the graphics aren't as crisp as I was used to seeing; I also found the track design uninspired. The handling was the worst, by far; even after turning off every assist possible, it felt like driving a car in grand theft auto. Even watching the players hands in the **** view, I kept thinking "Really? Come on, you ass, turn the wheel faster!" Like I said, I'm the farthest thing from a fanboy as you can get. When I think of games, I think of it as, "Well, I own a playstation so I'll get this playstation game" - for me, its a logistical question. Though after playing Gran Turismo 5, something so far from perfect, I found myself completely bored and almost amused at Forza 3. I can see why its popular; I think its earned its rightful spot in the video game hall of fame; but I didnt buy it to put a hello kitty sticker on my bumper; I bought it to smoke tires and dominate chicanes; and in that regard, I think Forza takes a distant 2nd to GT5; a good enough game, but outclassed as a simulator and once you had the best, its hard to enjoy the rest...

I'm not really a fan of car games, but Forza Motorsport 3 caught my attention. With many cars to choose from, and many tracks to race on, this is a game that will keep you entertained.

For a racing game with a solid community that can post car designs, with an immense design editor, along with tuning setups and even an ability to post videos and pictures of their cars; this game is a solid 10. For the actual racing aspect, this game is a solid 10. My only wish is that the cars were more balanced but that would shatter the realism, and I thank Turn 10 for not listening to my dreams and doing what makes this racing game, perfect.

Quite possibly the last word on racing games, Forza 3 is pretty, massive and a joy to control. Each car handles with unparalled precision, from the Lamborghinis to the Fords. Super fast supercars actually feel like supercars, and even the slower, weaker cars are incredibly fun. And this is Forza 3's greatest strength-there are no rubbish cars. There all fun, even the crap cars are as satisfying as the insanely fast Bugatti Veyron. Of course, it helps that the graphics are incredibly good too, and yet still manages to run along smoothly at 60fps. Another big area of Forza, revealing itself after release, is the fantastic ability for user created content. You can paint cars, create designs, upgrade your cars- all of which backed up by an incredibly strong user base, meaning Forza could last forever. But it won't obviously, as Forza 4 is just around the corner, but it's going to have one hell of a hard time topping this masterful racer.

El juego es bueno, el gameplay es excelente, lo unico malo es que el juego por el año 3 o 4 se vuelve repetitivo y a la larga aburre. Lo mejor es lo del retoceso de la carrera. Comprenlo, pidanlo prestado, rentenlo, Como sea pero jueguenlo ya.

Bought the ultimate edition that includes all the DLC. Best bargain ever! I love this game for the longevity it has. I hear people complain about online, but I don't play online so for me it is brilliant. Very good game. 521 cars. Don't know how many tracks, super realistic. What's not to love?

9.5/10 = Incredible = One of the best racing games on console, if not THE best. This game is better than any Gran Turismo game in my opinion.

I will start by saying i played,loved & put alot of time into the first 2 games.I especially enjoyed No 2,& played many online races as well as the career **** 'The Definitive racing game' (as the developers kept insisting on calling it),it most certainly isnt unfortunately.. i'll start on the good **** graphics are good(though only marginally improved on No 2),the tracks are great,with some fantastic new ones,& more of them,& a much welcome **** view..Theres more cars than before,with i think,an improved career mode,that tracks what kind of races you like,& car your driving,& offers you appropriate events.GREAT! but now onto the negatives.. Theres too many races in the career,that are one on one races,& they seem to repeat,& seems to last for what feels like an age.. It feels a real chore to **** music for the most part in the game,is not very good,forcing you to turn it off,or rely onthe 360's dash custom playlist,that is deeply flawed,by not letting you randomise the playlist,so your listening to the songs at the front of your playlist every new play session(very annoying).. The racing itself plays well,& you can play splitscreen against the CPU,& even form teams,which is sorely missing from GT5,as is the performance index for cars,but theres a major problem,or flaw with this game,& that is the Multiplayer.. As i said,i REALLY enjoyed that aspect in No 2,but Turn 10 has all but killed it in No 3!.. See for yourself,the lobbys for it are practically deserted.. How did they accomplish this feat in their self proclamed 'Definitive Racing Game'? They basically took away the ability to create or join a public race with custom rules & restrictions.Unless its a private race.GREAT,how many people out there can get races organised with people on their friends list? not alot.I certainly ****,its all matchmaking **** you have a very limited set of choices of the kind of race you want to race in,but THATS IT! You want to race against other people who arnt using auto braking? forget it,People using Braking lines? forget it,What track your going to race on? Nope.forget it.forget any kind of choice,or keeping the same crowd,but just changing any of the race details.I cant believe Turn 10 actually implimented this massively flawed system to the online part of this game.. If it wasnt for that MAJOR issue,this game would've got an easy 9 from me,& i suspect a better score from many others.Also because of that issue,the game has been grossly overated by the **** well,better luck with Forza 4.Fingers crossed..

Growing up playing Mario Kart, I had some difficulty adjusting to Forza Motorsport when I first played the second in the series; but I'm so glad I spent the time to get to grips with it. Forza Motorsport 3 is a near perfect racing game. Each car is meticulously modelled to look and behave realistically; the sounds, the in-car view, the race courses are all stunning. The career is very deep; I've played nearly 60 hours and I'm nearing the end of my final, 6th racing season. There are over 100 events in which to compete to earn money, which you can then spend on cars, paint jobs and tuning set-ups from the storefront. There are some unbelievable car designs on the storefront, from police cars to Mass Effect 2 art-inspired designs. The game has been backed up with DLC too, all of which is included in the Ultimate Edition of the game. There are over 500 cars to choose from here, but beware if you don't have a hard drive, there is a hefty 1.3GB+ to install if you want to enjoy the full experience. The only downsides of this game are lack of dynamic weather and day/night conditions; perhaps this will be added in the next instalment.

This is the best racing game on the XBOX 360 and the second best racing game on a console. It is a sim racer, meaning it's true life. GT5 is the better sim racer and has better graphics (only on important cars), but that's where it stops. Customization, uploading, multiplayer, menus, lobbies, cars, mods... they're all better on Forza 3 and it makes for a better experience. Career mode is okay, but it's just simple series races of up to 5 races. I'd like more. I like season standings and competitive enemy drivers. Unfortunately the AI drivers in career never drive modded cars and it's easy to beat them until you get into R1 or maybe R2. I personally don't have a problem beating the computer at any time, on any difficulty, in anyclass. But it's still fun, just not as good as it should be. Multiplayer and customization is where it's at. It has THE best customization for cars in any game, ever. I won't go into detail, cause I could sit here and tell you more and more things. Mutiplayer is a blast and I like the Truskill ranking system. There are plenty of driver assists that can make even the worst driver, decent. If you like racing games and you have a 360, you HAVE to pick this up.

One of the best racing games available, might not look as good as Gran Turismo 5 but the single player mode in Forza 3 is easy to recommend over GT5's single player offering.
