Which is the better? Im planning on trading in halo 3 ODST against it later.......

It's really personal preference but in my opinion Forza 3 wee wee's all over NFS.

No comparrison, Forza, and I don't even own it yet... LOL
I have finished NFSS and it was OK, not brilliant, just good..
Everything that I have read about Forza points to a winner....
Only downside, long load times, up to a minute, start shaking that controller at the Xbox LOL..

ODST, what did you think ?, I am currently playing it and well, I am lost for words, wth are you supposed to do??
I keep on going from 1 world to another, very confusing, lucky I have 6 other games to play at the same time, make that 5, finished WET..

forza 3 all the way for me, plays a lot better and looks amazing

Well ill go forza then, my fear was that it was going to be like SBK 09 which i bought then didnt play because everytime you went to championship you had to do practice 1, practice 2, qualifier 1, qualifier 2, superpole 1, superpole 2, race 1, race 2...... and i just got bored tbh. Also i didnt understand the intricacies of the adjustments you could make on the bike...... it was a silly buy really

As for Halo 3 ODST, i bought it cus i wanted to treat myself as i was a bit down, i havent even got past the first level...... its annoyingly boring, and the only reason i went for it is because a lot of my mates said it was good...... noticeably none of them are playing it now lol......

Give it time, you might be rewarded, but I hear you on the boring, I must be missing something, others love this game...

No, im too impatient

I used to have halo 2 on the original xbox and hated it too......... no idea why i bought ODST

Graphically Shift looks good and the cockpit view can't be beaten, its even better than Forza 3 attempt....sorry but thats the way I see it tho I only use bonnet cam in racing games.

But the handling of cars is bad compared to FM3 even if you manage to tweak the settings.

If anyones interested it's £25 of. Forza if u trade halo or 5 other titles..... It work out cheaper than gamestation

Where is Forza 3 £25 off if you trade in ODST? TIA

Simple post which is solely my opinion.

Forza:
Considerably better handling and physics (i only use wheel)
Car models look better
More cars and tracks available
Huge community

NFS:
Better cockpit view (gears changes etc...)
Better damage effects

NFS is a good game and i love doing the Nordschleife but there are alot of faults with it in mu opinion.

My money would be with Forza its just a more complete game...

NFS could/should have been better if they'd taken more care with the handling - and a patch for that doesn't seem to be too forthcoming (another month via the forums so they say) - a shame as it does get a lot right and would have been nice alongside Forza 3 just in the fact it provides more variety in the tracks I get to race on.

Forza 3 won by a trade-in knockout in the end....
