I’m known as the “Forza 3 basher” around here…and I don’t want to start again as I said I’d stop…BUT, I did finally have a chance to play it with the Microsoft wheel the other day.
Forza 3 has more cars than GT5P (and obviosuly the new demo), has great car noises, some lush looking environments, and a bunch of other neat things.
BUT, the fact is, it just can’t compare to playing GT5P with a Logitech G25. I think the steering wheel differences could account for a LOT of the dissatisfaction I get playing Forza.
That being said, Forza is entertaining – but GT5P is just so much more fun. If Microsoft let the G25 work (or maybe the ball is in Logitech’s court), I think it would be a totally different experience.
For the controlling hardware alone, GT wins for me. If you’re going to play both with a controller, then that’s a different story.
