I forget whether or not I told you guys, but I was lucky enough to buy a copy of Forza 3 early. Almost a week early, and I have definitely been playing the crap out of it. As indicated by the near-perfect IM capture below, my right index finger is actually very sore, and I’ve had to take a three day break from gaming in general. Seriously, it’s like the first time I played guitar. I’m going to grow Forza calluses, and I’m okay with it. The point is that I’ve beat the very short first season (I think there are six that get significantly longer), but I’ve spent hours tooling around in the massive event list, test driving, customization, car list, auction house, the list goes on. This is one of those games that offers so much that you won’t need to stop playing until the next one comes out (or maybe until Gran Turismo 5). But to be honest, as a life-long Gran Turismo fan, the series really WILL have to step up its game to compete with what is offered here. The progression is just so addicting and open-ended that it’s hard to imagine how to improve the formula. Anyway, I need breakfast/lunch/water, so more gushing will have to come later. Until then, you can all just imagine Riddles crying in a corner somewhere cuddling with his creepy Big Sister blow-up doll that I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole.
