  • So if our little Stevy here is one of the best in virtual racing....THEN WHAT KIND OF FAGGOTS PLAY GAMES LIKE THIS IN UK...I mean even I could drive A LOT faster than this prick :/

  • LMAO I find it hard to take anyone named STEVE seriously, especially when they're referred to as "pro-gamer STEVE"!

  • he calls him self a "expert gamer" and you can see he uses abs,and he cant use the cluch for shit,proper fm3 gamers allways turn assists off,i turn them off my self,and you can heel and toe on this game as well,FM3 FTW,cant wait for fm4

  • You're driving with a gamepad. Seriously? Dont bloody review racing games without a steering wheel. How the hell is this supposed to feel real if you play using a lil' stick? Fuck. Try driving a real car like that.

  • ROFL racing everything except wheel... i feel cheated

  • hmmm they fo one on GT5 yet ?

  • Do you really have to state that driving a real car is not like playing an xbox?

  • i sorta expected them to start making out. 

  • @LiberaLib  hahaha

  • The sounds in this game is realistic. I love using Hondas cause the game has that Vtec kick in sound at 5,000++ rpm

  • haha, he sits in a playseat and picks up a controller...lolol

  • Cool

  • no racing wheel but a seat you guys suck not a good review at all

  • @jdmsuperstar123 lol yeah thats pretty funny, they buy a 500$ seat but they dont have a wheel

  • OMG WHY ARE ALL YOU GT5 NERDS EVEN WATCHING THIS? STOP BEING A TROLL AND LEAVE. YOU CAN'T SAY GT5 IS BETTER WHEN THE GAME ISN'T EVEN OUT YET AND PROLOUGE SUCKED MY GRANDAD'S LEFT HARRY TESTICLE.

  • GT5P LOOKS NICER AND IS MORE REALISTIC

  • @lamborgboy lol jk

  • This is one of the worst reviews ever...they try and compare this to real life without a force feedback wheel (they have a damn rig, but no wheel?). They then try to compare this to GT4 which was released for the PS2, and then they say that this simulates thigns like G force? How the hell can a game cimulate G force (without a motion platform)!?!??!

  • balls to steve, what a phony...

  • Wait......hey have a racing seat but no wheel O.o ???

  • of course fifth gear would play forza and top gear grand turismo.

  • GT4 sux !!!! but i think GT5 would be good

  • Leave the consoles alone. Jump to a PC and get Live For Speed rFactor or simbins simulations runing.

  • try a wheel and some real simulators like i racing or rfactor,you'll see forza 3 falls pretty short to them,gt 5 is an arcade racer compared to rfactor

  • I didnt know if I shoud get forza 3 or nfs shift so I went to the game shop and was like "oh to hell with this!" and got em both XD

  • GT5 IS BETTER

  • @lamborgboy OMGOMG TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT ITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!1111111

  • Just wait until November for GT5 to come and absolutely destroy Forza. Wow, over 400 cars...Gran Turismo will have over 1,000.

    But even though GT5 will be better, this still looks good. The little glimpses of cars and scenery actually looks much like a real-world race would. I like it.

  • OMG Game reviews are stupid! Of course it's not going to feel like a real car. Long long way off before any Xbox styled game will feel like a real car.

    Don't get me wrong, I like racing games to feel as real as possible, but after all it's a game on a TV in the lounge room, Not a real car. Get a force feedback steering wheel with pedal, clutch and gear shifter and you will get a reasonably realistic feeling out of forza 3. It's only a game, don't expect the world.

  • how can you get a proper feel for the gaming physics without using a racing wheel and pedals?....this guy is a moron

  • @lanreudu

    I agree, playing forza 3 with the racing wheel FEELS SO MUCH BETTER! And a HECK of allot more realistic... Without the sense of g-forces through corners that is...

  • @lanreudu

    if you actually think about you dont actually need a wheel to feel all of the physics.

    If you played enough racing games, using a controller you can a instinctual feeling of the wheels under steering and losing grip.

  • @441meatloaf But you can't have force feedback on a controller which is what really makes you feel how the car behaves on the road.

  • @cosbusta

    Nope, but if you have driving experience, you can tell what the feeling is like on the road. People with decent driving skills just know certain conditions and certain things will make the car do something.

    Yes force feedback will add more to the feeling, but it depends on what kind of steering you use though. I used my G25 on GT5 and it still doesnt quite feel like the real thing.

    I iunno is this a personal thing, but I seem to cope well with controllers and feeling the road.

  • steve is a nerd and probable has never fucked a girl!

  • ill kick his ass with a wheel.

  • I think you can not review a game like Forza or GT if you have not a good ForceFeed Back wheel, but I think is a good game and a good review

  • have you ever played GT5 prologue? It's just like a soon beta demo, but it has abou 100x better physics than this released arcade .... .

  • @TheCrazyGamerGuy01 have you ever played live for speed? it has much more realistic physics than both GT5p and Forza 3

  • @FenderUsa nope. of course i've tried lfs, rfactor etc, but i play race 07/gtr evo/race on only. in my opinion the best physics in games.

  • forza better than GT? not bloody likely! granted GT5 is still in prologue but the final game will be much much better.

  • @prodriver1

    oh piss off will you

  • why doesn't the driver in the car shift gears when you drive from the inside the car??? big mistake in game or what??? someone please reply.

  • Fifth Gear test Richard Burns Rally with the RSRBR 2010 MOD THAT`S A SIM!!!!!!!

  • fuck pc games!!!!!!!

  • How could u possibly say the driving experience could be more realistic if you have all your assists on.

  • rofl what noobs..

    @xevious2501 you're absolutely right :)

  • steve is fake and gay gamer

  • @sikiprs6969 what makes u say that?

  • Not to mention Were is the wheel?!! how could anyone possible know the peek levels of forza or GT using a controller. these games are made for steering wheels. Anyway. forza looks smoother than GT5 (fps) but it has a sorta ARCADE look as well. i like the camera shake better than GT. and the anti aliasing is better , forza is great, but it still has alota room to grow.

  • that's a bit unfair because gt5 is not released yet and your making comparisons.

  • @poisonessbite

    well you can´t compare GT5 (when it comes out) to forza 3 either, can you? GT5 is coming out almost a year after forza, if it isn't better, well...

  • @lazysparkle gamers like you.....

  • Why are they doing this in someone's attic first of all?

  • NO RACING WHEEL???? wtf??

  • @rocknrollman1234 i agree but some ppl can afford racing wheels or their freakean parents (mine) wont by them (me) a racing wheel

  • gamepad for racing game? are you joking?

  • chill out, on competitions, you have to use gamepads for racing games... yeah pointless I know, but that's how the competitions ran... and not everyone is up to invest extra money for just a 'driving game.' However, I do agree that they should've at least gotten MOMO racing wheel which is only $70USD which, in turn, is probably a LOT CHEAPER than that racing seat platform lol

  • have these guys not heard of "R Factor" ??? its the most realistic sim avail today !!!!

  • Not even close to iRacing! R Factor is fun but it's nowhere near iRacing. No other game or sim comes close to that one.

  • GT5 does

  • GT5 comes close to Forza 3 I guess but nowhere near iRacing. No console sim can ever come close to a PC sim.

  • @jetstream01 Yeah ture iRaceing is amazing it really is.

  • As much as i love Gran Turismo, Sony are making us wait far too long.

    I played Forza 3 last week, & everything, all in all, if i had an Xbox Forza 3 would be #1.

    But i have a PS3 thats had YLOD about 100 times, no joke.

    I feel annoyed & pissed with Sony.

    Why they had to take 6 years i dont know! ohh my bad 8 years development !

    Sony hurry up!

  • ALL console games , Forza 3 ,NFS Shift are GAMES for kids. If you want a real feal for driving , you have to go for a simulator such as RFactor on the PC. I've played them all, and this beats the shit out of them.

  • Exactly. PC simulators are real car simulating monsters. But nice review "Fifth Gear Gaming"!

  • well siad celt

    totally agree mate

  • Racing seat, wheel stand and no wheel? mmmm way to make a review...

  • i agree...GT has always been the best by far...hope it stays that way!

  • If you're looking for realism, cars, and tracks, Forza 3. If you're looking for pure adrenaline and excitement, I'd go with NFS Shift.

  • GT5.

  • i have been a fan of Gran Turismo for years..a big fan...BUT..i heard all the hype about forza3 and i had to see it for myself and so i did....I LOVE IT!! its properly good...the Gran Turismo guys have made the mistake of making us wait too long for the full version...the might lose fans to Forza3,the full version better be as good as it should be otherwise Forza3 will be the new King!

  • @bluerings20

    Well that might be true but wait until GT5 and compair it again. ;-) GT was always Nr1.

  • You need to play the game with a 900 degree wheel to get a good feel for the physics. It's up there with the best PC simulators in that regard.

  • amatures. This is half assed. "racing seat" and a controller? LOL. Do some research, better yet stick to "real car" reviews. Not racing game reviews. I love this game, and this so called review is utterly garbage.

  • 3:00 "you cant feel the dampers" etc etc.. that's because you don't actually feel G's on yourself numbnut. And you don't have any steering feedback BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CONTROLLER.

  • use a racing wheel u have the perfect setup for it

  • with a controller?? seriously??? lame...

  • ....What was the point of having a racing seat and a steering wheel mount if you're not even going to use a steering wheel? The Porsche wheel costs $400 USD at most, so if they were on a small budget to make the video, just play on a SDTV and sit on some old phonebooks, it'd still be better than playing on a racing seat that does absolutely nothing because you're playing with a controller

  • @MrHellFire EXACTLY! Why go through all the trouble to get a seat, etc. and not have a steering wheel? Completely retarted!

  • Hopefully they review GT5 when that comes out.

    (It wouldn't be fair otherwise.)

  • I have a simulator hand made with a G25 wheel that manages to transmit the rebounds , G-Force and all the other feelings of real racing! ...GTR2 for PC .;)

  • I'm jealous! I can't afford the g25 or anything else for that matter. But I would state that Forza 3 is neither a simulator, nor a arcade game, it sits firmly in the middle. It is a lot of fun, but for me GTR2/Evo is where its at

  • they didnt mention the best part about the new game and its the clutch control. i think that alone makes this the best racing game since now you can actually use real racing techniques like double d clutching and clutch kicking for drifting. and they didnt mention the detailed cockpit views.

  • i will race him any day any time

  • ye this is rubish... why didn't he use a stearing wheel? is a lot different...n anyway real driving is way better

  • lol you guys dont have a wheel. even i have a wheel and im a poor student. (the xbox 360 one, its great and on sale lately

  • Use a STEERING wheel!

  • lol i know. this guy is going to get HAMMERED by the driving simulator guys with their hydraulic chairs and stuff

  • Lets think...Fuck yeah.U driving real car using controller or wheel?And gaming not supouse 2 B ass close 2 reality as it can be???

  • @irys28 hahah what???

    this game is supposed to be a simulator

  • uhhh use the steering wheel ? it adds further to the experience than a controller ?

  • not with the Xbox 360 Steering , maybe with a Fanatec Steering it does , but XBOX steering is just worst the the steering i had on my Nintendo 64 to play Mario Kart 64

  • Experts using steering wheels thats for sure.What a stupid coment was that about controller.Fucking ignorants

  • why is the pro gamer not using a wheel? and why cant he manage to go around the last corner of silverstone national without sliding sideways like a dumb drifter? prolly not that good Lmao.....I use a wheel, and would smoke him.

  • use the fanatec porsche 911 turbo wheel and use the manual stick shift witch the cluch. that would be way more realistic.

  • why are the bitching about GT4? GT5 will smash Forza3 over 900 cars plus GT5 will have the TopGear test track :D dont see forza with that Microsoft love making money of u suckers that want to go buy all there DLC. And i love how all game reviews give Xbox games really high scores and PS3 shit scores.

  • lol GT5 is nothing but vaporware at this point its 3 years past due, and how many versions of a honda civic do you really want to drive? 900 cars my ass more like 300-400 with 2-4 variations on each common car i.e. civics, skylines, etc. I own both consoles, but you sir are nothing but a fanboy.

  • @DaShnipa hahhahaa fo sho

  • Dude i like Forza 2 and Forza 3 i have played both online offline for days on end at my mates house i personally prefer PS3 i dont think there is a law against that I do like Forza 3 drift mode and also how you can even upgrade the race cars care there is more game modes on GT5 Rally NASCAR (even tho it is shit and u only turn fuckin left). It might be well over due but it will still wipe the floor with Forza 3. And we will still get the TopGear test track so that is just WIN for me

  • ha exactly! i counted 50 skylines in gt4?! it's insane 100 nissans while cool car companies like aston martin and tvr get like what 4 or 5 cars max? it's ridiculous and then run around claiming you have the most cars it's like a little kid saying he wins because he used the most crayons to color. it might have a lot but the quality is rubbish. oh and on that note a ford model t? yeah thats awesome but it dosn't go up hill and some cars can't be raced! i love the plymoth prowler and it's usless

  • How about Gran Turismo 5? More better than this...

  • It's out? When did it come out? Oh yeah that's right, NEVER.

  • It is, I played it on PS 3. OMG what a game...

  • Search for the video with name "gt5: Prologue - Ferrari F40 in motion" and don't lie urself, do u see any difference between real video and the game?

  • screw gt5 all i have to say is DELAYED!!!!

  • What r u talking about? GT5 is available, u can play the prologue. The full version with 900+ cars is not ready... Are u an arrogant idiot or what? U imagine how much do they have to work for 900+ cars?

  • reminds of prostreet

  • He should have driven with a steering wheel and when it comes to realistic physics Shift would be a bit better especially when you bump into another car or the wall

  • Well your not going to get anywhere near the realstic driving experience if your not using a steering wheel with it...

  • Live for speed the best

  • what about NFS Shift i have it it's great

  • steering wheel? you must frive with steering whell to get some 'realistic' opinion

  • The Gran Turismo will hav 10000 cars!

  • yeah gt is best

  • PS3 and it's Gran Turismo 5 is much better than this. And the PS3 has the bluray disc games. The HD DVD games that are used on the xbox 360 are out oof date and poor quality.

  • blu-ray is also coming for xbox 360

  • FM3 is a good game, but far from being realistic. how can a game be realistic if you are playing on a joystick?? If you wanna have a realistic game try iRacing.

  • The only people claiming that FM3 is the most realistic driving game ever are either in the Forza marketing department, or haven't heard of rFactor, Richard Burns Rally, and the like. One can easily make the argument that it's the best sim to grace the consoles, and the incredible car selection is what got me to choose it as my starting point in sim racing. Still, the PC boys have a total monopoly on hardcore gaming.

    And seriously, if you want it to feel real, get an FFB wheel try iRacing.

  • i think that fortza 3 is coll but i dont know will it apear for play station too ? if u know something about this leave a comment on my chanell .and i bought gt4 because fifth gear said that its a good game and it is but forza 3 is better than gt4

  • Is this real? If so, thats really cool. Fifth Gear could get even more veiwers for gamers!! Lol.

  • i knew it wasn't gonna be long till that nerd came out of his closet

  • what the fuck was 6:06 :D:D omg

  • i know right i got a logitech g25 and i was expecting them to come up with one especially how the beginning they showing off the chair and i was like when is the wheel gonna show up?

  • sorrrrrryy but the most realistic game ever???? sad that these fools would utter such nonsence !!!! the game looks nice for noobs but there is not a person alive that would say this is BETTER THAN ANY GRAND TURISMO AFTER 3.... SAD THIS NOOB THINKS ITS EVEN CLOSE!

  • This game has nothing on Gran Turismo 5. Nice graphics but the driving feels dead.

  • gt5 has over 100cars soo yea... its wayy better grafics to.. !!! better overall

  • wait till the real master of the driving game THE GT5

  • Dude. I've been sold on a 360!

  • I played Forza 2 and now I play Forza 3. I rate it above PGR and although other racers are fun, even OutRun on XBLA is a laugh - I just think Forza is far superior in terms of racing and handling realism and that makes it more enjoyable for me and until GT5 arrives, I would say it's the best at the moment.

    Bye love you bye love you bye :D

  • i haven't played gt and i haven't played forza either - but i do know one thing - That bmw m3 challenge game is one hell of a nice physics package, i just whip the car around the same old track with all the driver aids turned off and im still surprised how good it can get, - isn't it based on a gran turismo engine?

  • Forza Motorsport 3 rocks

  • What idiot buys the whole chair setup but doesn't buy a wheel to go with it?

  • for physics realism, I dont think any game has bettered GTR2

  • Well I just wanna say this..

    Play in forza 3 and then play in GRID, our in DIRT 2... And from a point of view, of a player.. Tell me, in what do you have most fun??

    Nevermind if is a simulator or not... just tell to the people in what to you have the most fun.. Counting with grafic's and car response..

    Maybe I'm just wrong.. but I think forza 3 isn't the best driving game in the world

  • Who is the man behind the idea of doing this review without wheel ? Fire him please :D

  • I think GT4 is more realistic the understeer is a bit unrealistic. I see 5th gear is going the opposite way Top Gear is going. Top Gear: Gran Turimso , 5th Gear Forza. . Top Gear FTW

  • I don't think your way. I think that forza's physics are a little bit better, because the suspension rebound on bumpy roads and in jumps is more realistic. But, GT4 has the advantage to offer 700+ cars!! I just can wait to see what GT5 will feel like (we already know how it will look like lol). It should be better than both GT4 and forza =D

  • k how do u drift in forza???

  • @CarzanpaintBall4life

    If you turn off Traction Control in the assists menu then you should be able to drift with a high powered rear wheel drive car. Brake late, turn in, floor it, swing rear end out, opposite lock, feather throttle then give it the beans when you're straight.

    Happy Drifting :D

  • niceee that actualy works....thank you :D

  • You're welcome!

    Alternatively you can also try using the handbrake to swing the arse out if you haven't already. I find it useful on twisty turny drift events like Fujimi Kaido.

    My Gamertag is Psultan if you wanna add me and race sometime :D

  • Based on how they rate it, I'd say Forza 3's shotcoming is it's tracks and cars. Track-wise, I would've enjoyed seeing wet tracks. And although I appreciate it's rather moderate amount of mostly modern cars, because its competing with Gran Turismo which will offer more cars most people will never care for, knowing you have to pay a LOT extra for say a ZR1 or Scuderia 430 or a DBS, initially it could've offered more. Less is more for Forza 3, but if you want more then it means more money.

  • I hate it how people say GRID is a sim. That game is FAR away from sim. I like it how you can add sponsors and stuff like that.

    But it's not on no Forza 3 level.

    But I loved GTR2 on the PC. Damn that was one of the best racing games ever.

  • You need a racing wheel for the whole experience.

  • bullocks !

  • really, a nice LCD and a racing seat is the best they could do. at least use a wheel

  • quick question to all the fm3 fans. while using the racing wheel, where is the clutch buton. because i'm thinking of purchesing a wheel for this game but i need to know if it's worth it and which control would be best: xbox logitec etc. except of corse the poarche control way out of price range.

  • GT 5 will be better when it finally comes out! lol

  • but it always takes so long for them... they probably found out that GT5 can't compare to Forza, and kept delaying the release date!

  • Exspert opinion LMAO Steve is no where near the top level on forza.

  • you can't rate it without testing it with the wheel first!

  • That guy knows jack shit you wanna play a race sim play Rfactor

  • Try a wheel boy! Then you will see a difference!

    I have driven some cars featured in FM3 and I can say that they are very close in similarities, so much that I felt like I was driving the real cars when in front of my xbox.

  • yeah, how the hell is he expecting a racing simulation to provide its fullest effect through a handheld controller?

  • Reviewing a racing game with a racing seat but while using a regular controller rather than a racing wheel : FAIL.

  • forza sucks...

    try Racer Grid (it's older but better) much like wine xD

    or Dirt 2.. it's also better that forza..

    Please try frist, and comment later.. xD

  • That's arcade, there is no simulation in there, especially in GRID.

  • Forza 3 is the best simulation racer. Grid and Dirt 2 have a lot of entertainment value and are good games but they aren't sims.

  • depends on what you like, i got a lot more entertainment out of forza 3 then Grid and Dirt 2 combined

  • You have a racing seat but you still use a controller...

    ?

  • i guess they didnt have enough money for a racing wheel lol

  • 2:40 - Drove an Elise round Silverstone and you are surprised that it didn't feel the same? You had a friggin' controller in your hand!

    Try using the wheel if you want to experience the the rumble strips and weight shifts.

    Leave games reviews to people that will review them properly.

  • hmm they should try live for speed ;-)

  • Forza will always be plagued with irrelevant GT comments. Nice review but next time use a wheel.

  • Its an alright game but im more into gran turismo and when gt 5 comes out this game will be irrelevant to me.

  • GT5

  • problem is, GT5 has been delayed too much now.

  • It's only been delayed once.

  • are you kidding me? it's been delayed at least 4 times. The latest one was last month, it was supposed to be released 05/03/2010 now it's 24/09/2010. It was also supposed to be released late last year, beginning last year, late 2008 and mid 2008

  • huh? i have had it for ages now!

  • Haha, where are you getting these dates from?! 05/03/2010 has never been a release date and neither is 24/09/2010. Polyphony Digital have only announced one official release date and that was the 31st March '10 - and even that was only for the Japanese release. I'm not defending them cos I want the game, but dude, you're facts are just wrong.

  • NO !

  • use a steering whel next time

  • come on...you're kidding me. no steering wheel? and saying that experts don't use it?!? you've completely lost it, you should leave game reviews to experts and stick with real cars. and now go and buy a proper steering wheel and do this again and then post a review

  • Here's a tip, get a HD capture card for game footage.

    Also this game has been out for ages, we don't need another review. Everyone who wants it already has it.

    I'll get my game reviews from gaming websites/magazines, not from 5th gear. Thanks

  • just wait till gt5 will come out, it will kill forza

  • What an idiot. 4-eyed fag! Get the old Fifth Gear BACK!!
