The ign review of Forza 3 is ridiculous.

I cant believe that they let this guy do the review with a closing argument of "good luck topping it" lol

Professional fanboy reviews are always an instant FAIL.

Look at what he said here... http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/103/1033110p3.html

Read the closing argument, you seriously wont believe it!!!

Get over it, it is only a review.

oh please

Yah, I can't believe IGN let one of their reviewers actually play Forza 3, and I truly can't understand why they didn't beat him for saying such nice things about Forza 3.

It's absurd really.

I'm sure polyphony will be fine. GT4, the lowest scoring GT game on IGN has a higher score than FM3. So I'm guessing GT5 will be AAA as well. And they might give it the same score to prevent fanboy outbreak (like they did with resistance 2 and gears of war 2)SilverChimera

Forgot to say "that isn't GT PSP and GT5P" :P

Yes, I'm really gonna take your oppinion over a professional reviewer who spent at least a hundred hours playing the game (which you just lost by the way) before he reviewed it. Trust me.

Ya me too.

oh noz. The 360 still gets great games.

He's only being honest. No one is going to take PD seriously without proving themselves again.

IGN has always been bias, and GT PSP got a 6.8 there.

Turn 10 bad mouths Polyphony. Yamauchi claims his game is better than reality. An IGN reviewer comments on the war between the consoles two biggest racing sims. So what's the problem?

Right, the guy says that Forza 3 is the best racer of this gen, and would you look at that it's the highest rated racer by IGN this gen! And then he follows up that statement by saying good luck to GT5.

He sure sounds biased.

Forza Motorsport 3 is 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. The visuals could be even better, the career mode sags at times, and there needs to be at least one more option for AI difficulty. Even with those concerns, Forza 3 is a big step forward for sim racing games. Turn 10 has thrown down the gauntlet and it will be a real challenge for Polyphony Digital to deliver a superior racer with Gran Turismo 5. After all, this is the best racing game of this generation. Good luck topping it.

You do know that the reviewer is a big GT fan and the he's the same guy who review Forza 2 and gave it a 8.9.:|

If he taken to the game this much after he himself called the series soulless than Forza 3 must be good.

ign went kanye west with that closing statement. Which is so so awesome.

I didn't find his last comments that fanboyish at all. It was more of a challenge to Polyphony than anything.LoseEagles1245

It won't be hard topping forza 3 according to many of the reviews, which if you actually read you'd realize something is admist here. "Graphically, Forza 3 is not an enormous leap forward from Forza 2, but the textures, shading and lighting all look nicer, and just looks better in motion. Even so, it's easy to nitpick Forza 3's graphics: some logos and lines on vehicles can look jagged at angles, and a lot of the details surrounding the race courses are unimpressive. The new in-car driver's view is immersive, though it certainly has a steep learning curve. And while the drastic crash damage is good, 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." Not sure how its getting nines in this area.Adrian_Cloud

Yeah, he may have gone a little bit too far there. I doubt that Polyphony will struggle to top FM3 with GT5. Both these games has great content, but GT5 will have more.

Obviously you're applying it to Grand Turismo 5. But, maybe he meant that no racing game period may be able to top this including a Forza 4 or Need for Speed, etc.

TC, you're reading too much into it.

haha.wow, this is getting ridiculous. for some reason the cows think that just becasue they have a good year, the 360 cant have some good games too. its like they think that the only reason odst and forza are getting good reviews are because reviewers feel sorry for them. wow, some of these fanboys amaze me.

expert from the review

"Turn 10 has thrown down the gauntlet and it will be a real challenge for Polyphony Digital to deliver a superior racer with Gran Turismo 5. After all, this is the best racing game of this generation. Good luck topping it."

He's talking about racing simulators and not consoles, that doesn't make him a fanboy -.- Seriously do you honestly think a professional reviewer who has access to ALL consoles and pretty much every game is biased in a way? When you own all consoles you don't see exclusives being released to "destroy" the competition, you're just happy to find more good games to play. And in his oppinion Forza 3 set the bar in the racing simulator genre pretty high. Read the whole review, it sounds like a fantastic game.

'But as it stands, this is 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. For the uninitiated, this is a gentle introduction to the joys of well-clipped apexes and shaving split seconds, while for those already in thrall to the genre this is likely to be their obsession. The question of whether Forza is better than Gran Turismo has been answered comprehensively – and now the question is what can Polyphony offer in response?' The UK reviewer wrote this as well, they're just noting how PD needs to step up to this game. What's wrong?

Its funny how fanboys try to discredit a reviewer when a game gets a good score. Already happened with Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2, and now Forza this month

gt5p destroys forza3 in realism, lightin, etc.... IGN was most likely paid off alot of money to say that.

The game got rated a 9.4/10. What's there to complain about? The reviewer? Come on. It's a game. Enjoy it.
