Different standars to each game. Forza has far less expectation placed on it (not to mention GT5 wasn't judged fairly by some reviewers). I think Forza 3 just had an overall extra layer of polish that GT5 may have lacked, but considering how much more GT5 was doing, and how much more expecation is placed upon the franchise in general, the end results aren't too surprising.

I say if you have both consoles and sims are your thing, buy both. I had Forza 3 at one point, and even though GT5 has hooked me more than any sim racer before it, I suggest the purchase.

That is a completely wrong (and quite frankly whiny)way to look at it.....read trasharmdsister12's post, it explains perfectly what exactly happened with these two game's reviews

That's my take. Some of the reviewers didn't judge it as a racing sim (what it set out to do). It succeeded at what it set out to do, but wasn't judged as such by some reviewers.

And what was FM3 judged as if I may ask?

Reading through reviews, much more like a racing game, than a racing sim. GT5 was judged like an arcade racer by some of the reviews, or any other racing game, and many acknowledge that (even rival reviewers say it). I didn't say ALL, I said some. Most reviews were fair in GT5's case, some were not. Simple.

That answers what GT was judged as(iyo) but what about FM3.....
