Picked mine up today! Played it as long as I could and drove 326 miles, got to driver level 15, made about 600k credits, hit 209mph in a stock ZR1, and earned 31 of 50 achievements :lol: It gets much harder from this point on though, at least achievement-wise (the 31 only count for 355 gamerpoints).

The only thing that bugs me so far is that my favorite camera view (just in front of the windshield) now floats a bit ... it turns slightly like your head would. Makes it tough to judge your slip angle sometimes. Otherwise though, definite kid-in-a-candy store material! I like that they split out "E" and "F" classes now, so there are some truly slow classes again.

Early screen grabs are in the pics thread.

Here's my purchased/modded car list so far:

Corvette ZR1, 2009, stock
Ferrari F40 (A), tire upgrade only
Camaro SS, 2010 (B), tire, wheel, suspension, aero upgrades, all for looks (I call it my Bumblebee) but has earned me a lot of money
Ford Focus RS (C), 2009, very mild mods just to get through various races
VW Rabbit GTI Mk.I (C), 1984, pretty heavily modded but only did it to get that one burnout photo
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR, (C) prototype URC livery car
Porsche 944 Turbo (C), to match the one in my driveway of course
Honda Civic Type-R, 2007 JDM/EDM (D), forget if I did any mods, just got it to earn dough
Lancia Stratos HF Stradale, because it's a Lancia Stratos
Toyota Yaris S, 2008 (F), stock, my first car that led to all of the restAnd the reward cars:

Ferrari California
Honda NSX-R GT, 2005
Leon Supercup, 2007
Lexus IS-F
Lotus Exige Cup 240
BMW M5 E60
Maserati GranTurismo
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, 2007
Vauxhall VX220 Turbo
Renault Sport Clio V6

Alfa Romeo Brera Italia Independent, 2009
Fiat Abarth 500 esseesse, 2010

I got mine yesterday at Best Buy. Only had one left! i am pretty pleased with the game so far. I was stoked to see that it had Camaro IROC in it. Not the same year as mine, but they all look the same haha. Now I just gotta buy my own 360. Using my little bros right now.

Such an awesome game. When I get sick of doing races, I like to jump into some good handleing cars and do some hotlaps.

After 10 or so laps I can usually get into the top 1%. Just then, using the Exige (B class) I got 106 on Motegi East, out of 53,000... Feels good man haha

Now to see if how it goes on Tsukaba... one of my favourite tracks to hotlap on. Also the Amalfi coast is AWESOME fun to hotlap on, the tight track, walls either side.

Timetrails (located in the leaderboards) is also a good way to spend time, competing against others using the same car on the same track. Good way to guage how quick you are.

EDIT:
ZOMG I think I just got the furthest up on the leaderboard I've ever been!

19th out of 63,825 on Motegi West B Class... check it out yall! GT=JRizzle333

Congrats!

[Johnny J]

Thanks, I can't imagine it will last long though lol

[TheJANG]

I haven't even made any attempts to get noteworthy times on any track yet. All of the cars I've bought or used are just ones that I like in real life, so I'm just using whatever among them will be good enough to win offline races. Once I get all of the career stuff done, then I'll finally go back and start tuning up some strong cars and focusing on a couple classes.

Dunno exactly what this is, but looks like free Forza 3 for the 360

That just linked me to the general Forza 3 marketplace page. Demo is free...

[mycrors4]

Yep its the Demo and it is no where as good as the actual game... which i got yesterday :D:D on forza forums they announced that it is based on an older build :D.. basicly forza 2 with forza 3 features

[GOLDSNIPER]

Forza 3 is really awsome.


Just for flaming purposes GT5 will own it though. LOL!

....Seriously no flaming!

[mycrors4]

[TheJANG]

Congrats on getting it mycro! Be sure to post up some photos in the pics thread!

[GOLDSNIPER]

I'm not a fanboy and take it easy I was just kidding around. I love Forza 3!
Except when a friend flips me over right before the finish line in online races. LOL!

[TheJANG]

Right on :D I've mostly run my original Yaris and recently tuned a slightly faster one, though now my main E-class car is an FTO. For R3 I used an FXX and for R2 I've been using an F50 GT, though I just tuned up a 897pt SC430 to try out.

Once I hit the level 50 mark I'll slow down and start working on some proper URC emblems to put up in my storefront for everyone.
