Forza Motorsport 3 is an exemplary racing game. It's beautiful, the controls are spot-on, the career mode is satisfying, and the multiplayer component is awesome. But there's still room to grow. The visuals could be even better, the career mode sags at times, and there needs to be at least one more option for AI difficulty. Even with those concerns, Forza 3 is a big step forward for sim racing games. Turn 10 has thrown down the gauntlet and it will be a real challenge for Polyphony Digital to deliver a superior racer with Gran Turismo 5. After all, this is the best racing game of this generation. Good luck topping it.

But as it stands, this is the very best racing game there is on the console market. It’s a compendium of everything that’s been great about driving games over the past few years, tied into a community that can keep the experience fresh for some time to come. For the uninitiated, this is a gentle introduction to the joys of well-clipped apexes and shaving split seconds, while for those already in thrall to the genre this is likely to be their obsession. The question of whether Forza is better than Gran Turismo has been answered comprehensively – and now the question is what can Polyphony offer in response?
Superb reviews so far!
