Forza 3 Autoweek Pack Screen Shots

Forza 3 Autoweek Pack is a Racing game available on the 360. It can be played in Firstperson Thirdperson Competitive modes.

Forza 3 Autoweek Pack is a Racing game. Racing games, although sometimes seen as a sporting sub category, are a well established video game genre in their own right.

Forza 3 Autoweek Pack can be played in a Firstperson mode. First Person games view the world from the eyes of the in-game character. You don't see the character themselves apart from their hands, gun or possibly feet as in Mirror's Edge. Because of the imediacy of the experience and sheer volume of visual information the player is offered First Person games lend themselves to the shooting genre. The FPS view enables players to immerse themselves in the experience and react quicker to events in the game. Other games have used a first person view to deliver an unusual perspective on an old genre - Mirror's Edge for example delivers a Platforming genre through a First Person view.

Forza 3 Autoweek Pack can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

Forza 3 Autoweek Pack can be played in a Competitive mode. Competitive Multiplayer games provide experiences where players compete against each other and the computer. Obviously lending itself to sports and team games, these competitive engagements have also dominated the shooting and fighting genres because of the direct combat and expertise involved in each. Although these games were originally played in a split screen style, more recently they are played online via services such as PlayStation Network, Xbox Live and the Nintendo Wireless Connection.

Family Gamer review Wed, 03 Mar 2010

Forza 3 adds ten Autoweek picked cars to the starting grid. These crafted virtual versions of the world's most drooled over cars are more than enough to entice you back onto the track.

I was dreading this. I was dreading coming back to Forza 3 so much, I'd already written that sentence over and over in my head before I'd downloaded it. It sat on my hard drive, waiting. If digital content could look menacing, this was a slash the seats in the cinema Teddy Boy.
