For Christmas, should I get Forza Motorsport 3, or NFS Shift. I've played both demos and I like both. On almost all of the review sites that I have seen, the games get almost the same rating. Which one is better for me to get?

Well, do you like simulation racing games? If so. Forza is the way to go. It's much more realistic than Shift.

I've heard a lot of great things about Need for Speed Shift, but I think Forza 3 is definitely the best choice. There's dozens of cars to choose from, great tracks, and the cars are even highly customizable. The online games are always a lot of fun, and it allowed for a nice bonding time with my brother and I. :P

Forza 3, Shift is very over-rated.

Forza 3. EA doesn't know how to make cars handle right in their racing games, but Turn 10 does. Easy choice.

Just wondering, did you check metacritic? I'm pretty sure the difference is nearly 10 points less for NFS Shift I believe (Forza 3 92 and Shift like a 82-84). I'd recommend Forza 3 anyway but just checking wondering which sites you went to.

I own NFS Shift, and it's amazing. I played the demo of Forza 3 and I hated it, but I also don't really like really realistic drivers.

They are both good games. But Forza 3 is much deeper and has a much better career mode. If you like driving aggressively Shift is definitely the way to go. Once you get used to the driving mechanics it is a fun game. Forza 3 however is much better in a lot of ways. It just feels better and once you can drive with all assists turned off you really start to see the game shine. Both are good, just decide based on whether you want a really deep simulation or a a more arcade like experience.

I would get Forza 3. Sears was selling it for $40 bones(black friday sale). Forza is really great. Haven't played Shift though.
