You've got to hand it to Turn 10, this is as close to motoring perfection as we are going to see on the 360. Yes it's dumbed down a bit compared to Forza 2, which is a shame, but understandable given its wider appeal. Overall though the tracks, the cars, the graphics, the handling - oh my god the handling of the cars, the customisation, the career, the online play - it's all good. I agree 100% with Mr Howdle, this is a stunning game and essential for all closet racers. Buy it. Play it. Forever.

This game is without doubt THE best racing game out to date. The sheer scale of it is fantastic and the DLC is some of the best out!. Both off and online play is brilliant (although I have come across a couple of clowns out to ruin it), and the selection of cars available should be more than enough to make your racing time a happy one.
The game is huge and it will take you a lot of dedication if you want the "Solid Gold" achievement. The graphics are up there with the best and if you've time to take in the views, it's well worth it.
All in all I cannot find a flaw in any area of this game so I'm off now to burn more....and more rubber!.

There is only one simulator to buy, and you've found it. A vast and superb amount of cars. Tracks are a bit long, and disc 2 installation is a bit fiddly. Still not enough to put me off though. Fantastic.
