Default Anyone got Ford Racing 3 ?

If so what is it like... ?

as i just played the demo, can race 55 licenced vehicles from Ford,

including 1987 RS 500, 1992 Es Cos, Capri, 2004 ST220 etc etc...

played very realistically.....

might buy it

Nope, but sure I saw it on special offer in Tesco's - thought it must be an old game

haha, but like everything, people have different opinions...

die hard FORD fans will like it anyway, cos of the genuine cars and detailing !!

and if its cheap then its no loss !!



was nice to drive a GT, a RS 500 and Es Cos.....

cos i sure cant in real life (yet)

What I can't understand is why don't they have damage, real life scenarios? The same as the GT games, it's bounce bounce boredom. Looking at a picture that resembles a car doesn't do it for me

yeh i understand what you mean EIL, and i somewhat feel the same way...

but then again to smash them up, might spoil it for some people, and it adds to the complexity of the game, perhaps even over does it.

so they kept it simple by not having real damage...

its not real life, quite.

but its still fun to have a crack in authentic cars, that are a piece of history...

But I would go as far to say, its shite even if you ARE a ford fan.

Nice to see all the cars, but they all handle shite, its slow and boring

and that womans voice in the menues if fucking irratating after a while.

And the graphics.... less said about them the better

I'd buy it just for the silver seal saying official ford motor company product, lol

I rip most run-of-the-mill racers to shreads, but I really think this one's ok

It don't break no boundaries, and if it weren't ford, I wouldnt bother buying it, but I think its decent enuff
