I've just posted up my first impressions of today's Forza 3 demo release on my blog (http://jangspeaks.blogspot.com/):

Does it cost anything to download? I just bought a hard drive and might just have to try it out.

Nice review. Im not an xbox guy, however I am happy they finally have something they can call a racing game.

S_D: Demos are always free. 1.2 Gb of goodness.

great little review there, i agree about the gran turismo feel to it.

when you said..."and the chances that I will purchase the full version when it comes out next week are now very, very slim."

did you mean gt for the psp (release date oct 1st) ?

because you do know that the actual gran turismo 5 (ps3) release is march 2010 right?

[TheJANG]

Thanks for the correction because I saw an ad that made it sound like the the PS3 version was coming next week! As you can see, I haven't been following GT well at all recently :lol:

I read your blog post before my download had finished, and now I can TOTALLY see where you are coming from. Its very similiar to the way in which GT physics feel, which is a good thing. No longer are we dropping the clutch and having a car loop without even going forward.

Im currently trying to do some hotlaps (something I never really got into in FM2) I think im in the top 2% for the Fezza though :D

How does the demo fair against the latest GT thus far?

Ray :D

[TheJANG]

Errr, hello?

[Zerohax369]

LOL, well the last GT game I played was 3 and the last Forza I played is 1. So I am kinda outa the loop here. I know Forza 1 is way better than GT 3 for sure. I am assuming Forza 2 and 3 kicks butt; yeah?

On a side note: I'll be picking up a 360 Elite or Pro, this week too. I was gonna get the PS3 but after some research I found the 360 meets my needs a lot better. I can't wait!

Edit: I guess it helps to read your WHOLE review huh :lol: , I gotcha now...

I played it and wow, it is awesome. Way better than than Forza 2. I am hoping this one still has the customization features like 2 did. Having a clutch no adds to the realism, but hopefully they come out with a wheel with a clutch setup.

Jang, I look forward to racing you on FM3 when it's released. My gamertag is dbagdbag for you or anyone that wants to race.

I will be driving the vw r32 and 20b mostly. Caaaaaaaaaaaan't wait.

hehe. its awesome. if anyone is up for some drifting in forza 2 or 3 when it gets released, hit me up. dr1ft1ng0wns. then again, depends on if i get live or not, my 13 month subscription just ran out. but yeah they better come out with new pedals or something so that we have a clutch. btw i drift with a 91 rx7 (fc ftw)

im pretty sure the porsche fanatec wheel has a clutch
