Good Prima guide

A very informative guide to Forza Motorsports 3, especially on the various tracks in the game. There are maps of each track with speeds and info on each turn on that track. These really help with making it easier to drive fast. Very good section on car upgrade, tuning, and painting. I was impressed with this guide and Prima always does a good job.

Three Words for this game!

OFF THE CHAIN!!!!!! If you like driving games purchase this. Graphics are nice and the racing is about as real as real can get. Shipping was fast and packed nicely.

HAPPY

I PURCHASED THIS AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR MY TEENAGE GRANDSON. HE LOVED IT. WHAT MORE CAN I SAY.

Forza Motorsport 3 guide

This is a very useful guide in order to understand Forza 3. It gives very detailed information regarding the setting, and data necessary to tune your vehicle to extract maximum performance. It's very organized with excellent detail and most important. All the numerical information of each car. One minor setback it that it doesn't have for some Americana cars, like for example, the Chevy Corvette.

What's in it is good, but...

The main reason I bought this guide is to get a lot of info sorted and on the page, so you don't have to go from screen to screen. Also, to figure out things that would cost me in game credits to do. It has a nearly complete list of the cars in the game. It's missing all GM brand cars and their stats. I like comparing cars, so this is not good for me. The cars it does have is great, with just about all the info I'm looking for about each. The only datum I'd like is 'car type' and 'body type' as some races restrict you to 'hatches' or 'coupes' or even to a class of cars, like 'Civics'. The other thing I want from a guide is modification tables. Maybe this varies too much from car to car, but I know the replacement rims are standard among all the vehicles in terms of weight savings vs each other. This guide gives general tips, but not the specifics I wanted. The game's 'auto tune' option does basically the same thing, but doesn't try to explain it to you. Other things it has: -maps of all the tracks, with hints on getting around them. -tuning tips. It's better explaining what all the sliders do, but doesn't come out and tell you what to do. -checklist of all (listed) cars. This is a basic text version of the visual car listings. I'd buy it again, but still would want it to be more complete.
