Forza 2.5 reviews are coming in: “super boring”
“Forza 3 is easily outclassed by the excellent damage modeling of DiRT 2 and even Need for Speed: Shift. Specifically, cars tend to sport the same generic “scratch” and “scuff” textures when they’re hit, and dent deforming seems limited, as well.” – 1up
“For a game so dedicated to all things automotive to slip in the cockpit is seriously disappointing, and part of what I see as a larger problem with presentation.” – Gamespy
“The achievements in Forza 3 are frankly quite boring. Easy, but super boring.” – Xbox 360 Achievements
“The game comes with a second disc filled with 100 more cars and 29 new tracks. That’s nice. However, it requires a 2GB install. Those without HDs are screwed…” – Games Radar
“Visual car damage might also be an issue for some, with the damage model used here nowhere near as dynamic as that found in the likes of Burnout Paradise or DIRT 2″ – VideoGamer
“Cockpit views are modeled for each car, but they aren’t quite as stunning as in Need for Speed SHIFT.” – GameTrailers
“The car interiors too, disappointingly, look a bit too grey and plastic-y. Forza 3 certainly doesn’t live up to Gran Turismo in the in-game visual stakes.” – CVG
You left out the scores that go with those reviews btw. Lemme fix that.
1up – A- out of A+
Gamespy – 4.5 Stars out of 5
Xbox360Achievements – 93
Games Radar – 100
Videogamer – 100
Gametrailers – 92
CVG – 90
SDF = Owned now and forever.
My next time you’ll quote from those three sites that gave it sub-90 reviews.
congratulations xbox users, a good game.
for us? ps3 users? we have to wait…
tears?
no tears, we don’t want a good game.
we are living to play and live masterpieces.
i’m happy to see polyphony is thinking about us!
not our pocket
lol
Do you think the game is going to cost $1.50 or something? If PD was doing it out of the generosity of their hearts, or the love of the fans they would do it for nothing! Also PD’s last game was a giant let down. It didn’t even have a career mode, that is UNACCEPTABLE for a GT game. I don’t care if it is a portable title. Gadget Racers on the GBA has a career mode!
1st big exlusive game of the 360 this year and they are acting like its the second coming of christ . LMAO
While we already had :
Killzone 2
Infamous
Demon Souls
MLB THE SHOW 09
AND SOON TO BE GAME OF THE YEAR UNCHARTED 2
Plus you cant compare a psp game with a ps3 game . Gran turismo psp aint even on the list of gran turismo’s games if you think about it because if it was then the gran turismo coming out next year would be gran turismo 6 and not 5.
That’s a pretty weak list.
The 360 either has something that can match, or exceed it. For instance, Killzone 2′s sales were crushed by Halo:ODST’s in a single day. UC2′s devs went on record saying that they HOPE their game can sell as many copies! If you wanna compare MC scores you can…IF they have the same number of reviews.
Otherwise that little trick doesn’t work.
And yes I CAN compare a PSP game to a PS3 game, this is the SONY Defense Force is it not? and GT PSP IS made by PD is it not? So yes, I CAN hold it up to the same standards as it is part of the GT series. PD did say that they refused to release that game until it was perfect, what did they do? They pulled a Too Human! That’s what! They over promised and under delivered.
Well if we are playing by sales number then i guess wii sports is the greatest game of all time . greater than halo , gears of war and all other games combine huh? i hate it when xbots play by sale numbers . unless you are planning to buy stock what do you care how much it sales?
There are also tons of games that are under the radar so they dont sell that much for example shadow of colossus and ico .
Have you PLAYED Wii sports? It’s addicting, and in Japan it doesn’t come bundled with the system and is one of the highest selling Wii games there.
Yeah Sony fanboys don’t care one bit about sales MIRITE?! http://www.sonydefenseforce.com/?s=sales
Well if you not as dumb as i think . You probably know that this site is fake and is actually run by a Wii 360 fanboy defaming the sony fanbase ^__^
SHHHHHHHHHH! if break the fourth wall, you’ll spoil the fun.
But in all serious I DO knock some of Sony’s decisions. Like the “totally not going to make one of these” Motion wand
Hopefully it will be a motion wand directed towards the hardcore players and not the casual crowd like the wii . i actually love that demo in E3 when they were shooting some arrows towards some trolls. Kind of reminded me of Zelda.

You may wish to edit out “super boring” with “Universal Acclaim”. Sorry kiddies.
Also, are there any good games coming out for the PS3 that are worth getting excited over? I haven’t turned on my PS3 in two months, as where my 360 gets daily use. I sort of need a use for it other than a Blu-Ray player.
Erik do you even own a ps3? You just claim all sort of bullshit over here without proof. Well i have owned 10 xbox 360 and they all RROD each one in less that 1 month . The last one came with the red light just out of the box. So i decided 2 call MS customer service and told them my xbox RRODed and they asked me so what is the problem?
What games are you waiting for this year erik? besides left for dead 1.5 which they could have done as a DLC because its not even a new engine but hey! only xbots are stupid enough to buy that crap.
Oh erik and check out this link:
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/uncharted2amongthieves
And a quote from adam sessler :
“Uncharted 2 is the best single-player experience i have played in my life.”
That beats any single-player game the 360 has to offer .
@mich99
First off, yes I do own a PS3. So your true question should be what games am I looking for on the PS3. And the answer to that question is none. I have a decent sized stack of games for the 360. On the other hand my PS3 game boxes I can hold between my pointer and ring finger of one hand. And that is including Resistance which has been relegated to being a coaster.
Played the first Uncharted. I’m not going to make that mistake a second time. If you will enjoy it then more power to you.
Oh and if your assumption about it being better than anything on the 360 then perhaps I would turn my PS3 more than every other month.
Also, 10 360s? Yeah right. You know if you SDF writers are going to go undercover as a commenter, then you should at least make it at least a bit believable.
That just me being you Erik. Posting BS after BS. who knows if im telling the truth? there are people around the world that has gone through 5 and even more xbox 360 . Just are you are saying that theres no game for the ps3 . im saying the equal for the 360 . theres no variety Well unless u into space marines but the ps3 has game for everybody . we even have FLOWER for people hiding in the closet like you ^___^
And I’m saying that there are hardly currently, and no future games for the PS3 that have interested me for so much as a rental. As for the 360 not having variety: Ha.
Maybe the end of next year there will be a title worth picking up for the PS3. Maybe that is.
Well if the 360 has so much variety then it wouldnt be so hard to name a exclusive 360 game for each genre huh?
For example on the ps3 side :
Action/Adventure : Uncharted 2 , MGS4 , God OF War, Infamous Just to name a few.
Platformer : Little Big Planet And Rachet and clank.
Racing : Gran Turismo 5
FPS: killzone 2 and Resistance 2
Role Playing : Demon souls, Final Fantasy 13 [in Japan]
Plus other titles that are unique in their own way that i dont even know what genre they are like :
FLOWER AND HEAVY RAIN.
Forgot about the sport genre with MLB 09 Owning it.
I know about those games. Those games were already taken into account when I stated that there is barely anything present and nothing future that interests me.
Also saying that Final Fantasy 13 is exlusive with Japan in brackets just further shows that you are just a SDF writer pretending to be a commenter. That was their line you see.
Well im just saying the truth especially when FF13 is such a big deal in japan . Everytime i think of the 360 only game that comes to my mind would be the repetitive Gears of war and the 13 year old boys halo 3 . I seriously hope MS comes up with new IP’s Next year and not just Gears of war 3 and halo 4 . For being in second place, MS doesn’t really innovate while Sony takes Risk after Risk.
Moot point. It isn’t an exclusive.
Furthermore how about the repetitive Resistance or Killzone 2? I still can’t believe that I actually spent money to rent that game.
It is exclusive in japan And here is the formula for Gears of war :
Run into the next area
The locust horde soldiers all get into place
You hide behind things and kill them
You throw a grenade down the hole
Move into next room
Repeat.
And yes. I suppose you are right about Sony taking risks. It is risky to eschew everything that made your prior console a stunning success and instead go for style over substance. To abandon such a successful plan is risky indeed.
Yea like MS did by releasing The xbox 360 a year early instead of inspecting it thus causing the RROD.
A game that is on more than one system isn’t an exclusive. It is easy as that Hans.
If we were japanese then it would be a one system exclusive well unless we import it from some other country But hey we could just call it a region exclusive game.
But, as it will be possible to play it on a PS3 or a 360 means that it isn’t exclusive. Region is irrelevant. This is a binary black and white question. This is yes or it is no.
Maybe someone else here can explain this to him?
All im saying is that Japanese players cant expect to go to their Japanese gamestop or whatever they have and expect to buy FF13 for the 360 in japan. You could just go to wikipedia where it clearly states it.
It isnt exclusive in the rest of the world but in japan it is.
I will be playing FF13 on my 360. If you want to pretend that it is an exclusive, well that is your logically flawed cross to cross to bear.
WTF Mate? I clearly said its exclusive only in japan . i never said it was exclusive over here in the US or where ever you live .
I remember that shit Sony was trying to pull with Ghostbusters, claiming that “It’s EXCLUSIVE to the PS brand!” Well what it should have read was “It’s (timed)EXCLUSIVE to the PS brand!(in Europe)” because I played, beat, and traded that game in months ago.
@mich99
You tried to put it on a list of PS3 exclusives in a sad attempt to make it seem like the PS3 has a library and the 360 doesn’t.
But it is irrelevant. My PS3 has been off for around 2 months, and quite likely will be off a third. Perhaps by the end of next year another game will come out that will have me turn it on for a week or two.
ahah, erik never heard of demon souls
oh wait thats a ps3 game and ps3 has no games
FF13 is a PS3 exclusive in Japan ONLY, otherwise its on the 360 and PS3 everywhere else. Now FF13 Versus will only be on PS3 and by the looks of it, it won’t be coming to the 360 at all.
And if anyone wants to know or cares, I will gladly buy FF13 on the PS3 if I was going to actually buy the game (I’m not saying that I wouldn’t probably enjoy it, I just don’t have time to spend on RPGs anymore).
Demon souls is a JAP Rpg for JAPS I never play those.
@mich99
Erik doesn’t own a PS3. I’ve been trying to get him to show pictures of his systems for a while like I did a few stories ago. He dodges actually doing it, then goes on a rant calling you an idiot.
Also, I highly doubt you’ve ever had 10 RROD Xbox’s. There hasn’t been enough physical time for you actual exchange 10 Xbox’s with their warranty service. It takes too damn long. That problem has been gone for over a year now. It’s old news.
this is just standard reviewing for 360 games, boring and dull
http://n4g.com/ClickOut.aspx?ObjID=409079 This just in 360 is the adult system!
@tendonut
I do own a PS3 you yob. What I DON’T own is a digital camera. And I don’t need to call mich99 an idiot. The fact that he tries to put FF13 on a list of games as being an exclusive when it is NOT makes him an idiot.
@Krollzen.
I don’t give a fuck about Demons Souls.
@ erik & his boyfriend seven2s
You deluded 360fanboys, I really hope you guys realize this site is created purely for a laugh, they are taking the piss, it is not serious. Every time SDF posts something new we all come on and have a laugh, and you two seem to find it necessary to come in a reassure us that what they have posted is clearly not unbiased and not true! Well heres a news flash! No shit dick heads! Its a joke! You don’t need to come on here every hour of the day adding to your same old rant about how u sleep with your dick plugged into your xbox.
A good game is a good game no matter what platform.
erik you clearly don’t own a ps3, you reckon you own all the consoles yet you don’t have a digital camera??? get fucked! what about your phone as if that doesn’t have a camera on it.
Anyway no one really gives a fuck about what you two have to say… why don’t you start up your own blog or some shit or go and blow each other on the other side of the planet so we don’t have to hear you guys cry everyday.
That is all.
ahah
of course not, its a good ps3 game
you only get too see your 360 or pc or wii side of videogame life
ahahaha, yea
its real fun to enjoy a few games when you can enjoy all of them instead
i forgot how good your logic was
tell me erik, what is the best game ever in your opinion, and why is it the best game ever
The best game ever? I would have to say Secret of Mana for the SNES. It was a nice long game that could not be sanely beaten in a weekend (as so many games sadly do now). It still looks quite stunning even in this day of HD graphic cards. And because it was a two player RPG I have plenty of fond memories of playing it with my step brother in our family’s camper during the summer.
You surprised me erik. i thought you was going to say gears of halo or something similar.
I don’t own Halo or Gears. Gears wasn’t totally terrible, but it didn’t grab my interest to purchase it after my rental of it. Halo on the other hand, ugh, no. I tried the original Halo about a year back. The tedium of the game was only broken by the sheer irritation of the shitty, nearly unplayable, controls of the first vehicle you come across.
Here are some more quips from reviews for SDF to add to the ones above:
Never before has there been such a content-packed racing game, playable for people of all skill levels, that feels this good. That’s the key. On the track, no matter what car you’re in, it feels right. – Videogamer
The Rewind addition removes the most agonizing aspect of the modern racing sim, while the ridiculous level of customization and online support keeps the experience fluid and rewarding. And at 60 bucks, Forza 3 presents more value than just about any other game in any genre. – Games Radar
It has certainly laid down the marker for Gran Turismo 5 to surpass; a task that now looks incredibly daunting. At this stage in Forza’s lifespan, it doesn’t feel like we could ask for much more. – Strategy Informer
Forza Motorsport 3 has more of what made the second game so great, but also with better visuals, and a more balanced control. – 3DJuegos
Turn 10’s done a phenomenal job of crafting an experience that’ll appeal to all race fans. Whether you’re a car porn addict or just a gamer looking for a joy ride, Forza 3’s accessibility—anchored by fantastic difficulty scaling—depth, and breathtaking presentation put it neck and neck alongside the season’s other genre definers Need for Speed: SHIFT and Dirt 2. – Play Magazine
An exemplary racing game. It’s beautiful, the controls are spot-on, the career mode is satisfying, and the multiplayer component is awesome. But there’s still room to grow…This is the best racing game of this generation. Good luck topping it. – IGN
The very best racing game there is on the console market. It’s a compendium of everything that’s been great about driving games over the past few years, tied into a community that can keep the experience fresh for some time to come. – IGN UK
Easily the best simulator on consoles and is a simulation game that racing fans around the world can welcome with open arms. I mean everyone, whether you want to race with all the assists off and get the true simulation experience, or whether you want to experience fast cars and beautiful tracks but don’t know your clutch from your cam belt. – Xbox 360 Achivements
Forza Motorsport 3 isn’t exactly a leap for the series. The incredible realism of Forza’s physics, car mechanics and driving simulation, especially when it comes to the slippery, hard-to-control upper-class cars, is going to bore arcade racers or casual drivers. But car junkies and passionate racing gurus are going to find a nice cave to hole up in for the next few years and it’ll make you less jealous when PS3 owners start crowing about Gran Turismo 5 – Gamepro
I’m probably one of the few 360 owners who has no interested in Halo or Gears at all. Now Fable II on the other hand…
well whats your favorite recent game
like last 10 years?
Well that’s a tough one. I have a lot of favorites, but nothing that really sticks out above the rest. Lets see. Metal Gear Solid 3, Half-Life 2, The Silent Hill series with the exception of 4, Fallout 3, and Price of Persia: Sands of Time.
I would have to say it would be a toss up of those.
@ seven2S
Don’t worry, buddy. You’re not alone. :p
@seven2S
I’m partially with you. I really don’t care about Halo, but I love Gears and yes, Fable II was awesome, as was Mass Effect. I bought my 360 the January after Mass Effect came out..you could almost say I bought my 360 for that game. But what ever happened to the turn-based RPG? Why are they becoming extinct? I love those games! Thats why I spent the whole $5.99 to buy Suikoden (PSX) on the PSN…I need some more retro games that I haven’t already played a hundred times before.
An can you say “Holy Return of Shareware Batman”? They’re doing Fable II in EPISODES. First one was free. Now I’m hooked. Not gonna buy it in episodes though as I want physical media for my money.
