Forza Motorsport 3 game director Dan Greenawalt makes no secret of the fact that it was Gran Turismo that turned him on not just to racing games, and even the broader world of motorsports in general. But according to him, his own team has dethroned the genre pioneers with Forza 3 – and at this point, he makes a convincing argument.
Everything about Forza 3, from the graphics to the car selection, track detail to physics engine, takes an impressive step forward. It boasts a selection of 400 cars, 100 tracks, fully functional cockpits (the gauges all work), and programming that accounts for everything from drag to tire flex – which you can even see in minute detail if you zoom in on a car paused in the middle of a turn.
