I'm going to go with 91%. Sounds realistic unlike some people who think it will get a 95-97, and the others thinking it will get an 80.

^ @ Solid. 95 is 3 higher than FM1 and 5 higher than FM2. I believe FM3 brings enough new improvements and options to warrant 3 more points above FM1. I beleive every reviewer that reviewed FM1 will review FM3 higher. Definately be reviewed better than FM2. As FM2 was recent many reviewers will be awre of the score they gave FM1. They will likely give FM3 3-5 points higher for improvements if they gave it 88 or 90 say in their FM2 review. So I think 95 is really possible.

Anyway the only real review I care about is InsideSimRacing.TV.
The y will review the game as a sim and test it with the best wheel available for tha game.

Gears of War 2 was a huge improvement over Gears of War. And it also made horde mode a standardized game mode for shooters. But you know what? It has a metacritic score lower then 1. When years pass it takes lots and lots of new features, innovation and amazing production to even get the same score. Do you know how many 100's it would have to get with very few low scores (and by that I even just mean lower then 90) to get a 95? Just look at Little Big Planet, out of 85 reviews only 5(!) reviews lower then a 90 and they are all still positive. I guarantee this game will get a lot more 80 scores (higher 80's though) then 5. It is just so very hard to get a 95, and critics are usually harsher on racing games then games in other genres. I can't see this game getting higher then a 94 at the best.

85-91% is where I think the game will finish at. It's going to be the usual shit which is the first reviewers get horny over the game and inflate the score however later on when the hype dies there will be the reviewers which are the least bias. Expect 9+ from IGN as they have become soft and retarded lately and 9's from all other major websites however you will always get those few websites giving 5/10 to gain attention.

That said it's very uncommon to see a sequel of the same franchise to get a higher score than the first game which released the same generation. No way will it top 95+ though, for that all of the first reviewers need to be 98+% since the later reviews are always lower and so far we have one 95.

My prediction is 88%-92%, mostly because it needs more than improved graphics to get a higher score than the other Forza games...it will need huge innovations. Not trying to bring up GT but you can see how GT4 scored 6 points lower than GT3.

I'm also very interested to see the review of InsideSimRacing.TV. That'll be a really fair judge of the game's quality. I'm hoping for a 93% overal Meta score.

I say it will get 98.

95%

89.

hahah so true-__-
