I guess it would depend on what you skill level is and what kind of racing you like.

I've only played the DiRT 2 demo but I just kept on crashing. Personally I really like Forza 3 as it has loads of cars and customisations. There is plenty in there to do.

I also find Froza 3 to be very accessible as you can add and take away assists like auto-braking and driving line.

There should be demo's for both so it might be worth checking those out.

What sort of game are you after? They're quite different - Forza is probably the best tarmac track circuit game on any console, while Dirt is a damned good off-road aggressive bunfight and a lot more arcadey.

All depends on what you want from a racing game really.

Only played the demo of Forza 3... but much like 2nd Forza it kinda left me cold, although I do appreciate it's a good game it just isn't for me.

I picked up Dirt2 in a sale a month or so ago and really like the drifting "arcadey" feel it gives. Gives me more of a thrill anyway.

So for me Dirt 2 would win out... there are demos for these games on Live so my suggestion would be to try those and make your choice.

Actually the demo route is the way to go. Excellent advice, thanks!

I was in the same boat , but decided to go for Forza 3 the way i worked it out is as it is newer it will have a higher trade in value than Dirt 2 , so when i have completed it i can go and trade it for dirt 2.

The way i look at it is pay one price play 2 games

You can get Dirt 2 for less than £19 from shopto.net and it's a really good game and worth more.

Personally for an extra £19 get them both and you wont lose much on trade in if any.

I think he means Dirt 2 is £19, so you get both for just £19 more than just Forza.

He's right it was my fault, rushing and not thinking too much about what I was typing!

Here's a related question for you all, then; Dirt 2 or Grid? The latters only £10 at Play.

Dirt 2 for me i just didn't like Grid.

Plus the rally stages are really good fun on Dirt 2, i'd prefer pay the extra £8.

Buy Forza 3 for whatever it retails at then pay an extra £19 and get Dirt 2 as well.

Win win situation for the original poster, if he can't afford to get both then go with Forza 3.

never got into GRID at all. Enjoyed Dirt 2 to a point and have not touched Forza 3 since WM2 came out.

Personally i would buy Dirt 2 if you are wanting a bit of fun or Forza 3 of your after more of a simulator, If i remember the demo or dirt 2 wasnt great.

The Baja level of the Dirt 2 demo was decidedly off-putting, but I enjoyed the actual rallying bit. Mind you, I hated the drifting bit of the Grid demo even more.
