The Forza Motorsport 3 Demo Has Arrived!

Posted on 27. Sep, 2009 by Kevin in Forza Motorsport 3

The Forza Motorsport 3 Spotlight on the Xbox 360 LIVE Dashboard has all you need to get your Forza fix!

Its demo day folks! First things first…if you haven’t already downloaded (and rated) the Forza 3 demo on the Xbox LIVE marketplace then you already know what you need to do. Load up the box and get to it! Here’s a quick rundown of the demo’s contents:

Playable Track: Camino Viejo (Full Circuit)

Playable Cars:

- 2009 MINI John Cooper Works
- 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR
- 2009 Ferrari California
- 2010 Audi R8 V10
- 2007 Porsche #80 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR

Racing Modes: Quick Race and Hotlap mode.

Note: To access the free run style Hotlap mode where you can race an unlimited number of laps without opponents, access the in-game Leaderboard by hitting “Y” at the track select screen. From here you can hit “A” at the top of the screen to begin a free run with the selected car!

Check out the all-new Forza Motorsport 3 Premium Theme, available over Xbox LIVE now!

As you can see the demo features a robust leaderboard that tracks your best lap times and drift scores for each of the vehicles above. Compare your best times/scores with the rest of the world and your friends. The competition has already started heating up, and everyone here at Turn 10 has been following the action to see how we stack up against our community. Go Forza!

Amidst the hype surrounding the demo, we can’t forget about the major showing for Forza 3 at TGS this week. Along with “officially” revealing that the legendary Fujimi Kaido has made its return to the franchise, we’ve also released a brand new trailer showcasing some tandem drifting from Team Blackjack. You must watch now!
Our group program manager Korey K. sent back some Day 1 TGS Impressions and here’s what he had to say:

“Compared to E3: TGS is smaller, but WAY noisier. People in the booths have bull-horns that they use to shout as you walk by. The show is busy, and the Forza 3 line has been busy all day long. They’ve actually added extra chains to grow the line for the motion pod. Overall Forza is being very well received, and the weekend promises to be insane when the public is allowed in.”

Check out our man Korey K. representing to the fullest at TGS!

Sounds like they’re having a great time so far and we’ll be sure to post more impressions from Korey, Che and Jun as they roll in.

All in all this has been a very exciting time for Turn 10 Studios on so many levels. All of our hard work has really cumulated nicely in the past few weeks, and we couldn’t be more excited about this project. For now sit back and enjoy the Forza Motorsport 3 Demo as we continue to reveal more details right here on Forzamotorsport.net!

I’m off to try my hand at snatching the number one drift spot on Camino Viejo!
