The other topic was too old.
Forza Motorsport 3 is a racing simulation, think of Gran Turismo, only better and for Xbox 360.
It features over 400 cars from over 50 manufacturers. The racing is amazing, and the physics are great, besides the damage, which is still okay. (As many have said before they can't show realistic damage in games with licensed cars, or they'll have to pay the companies to depict how unsafe some of their cars can be.)
I have yet to get it, but i've played the demo, and i've played it at gamestop before. You can pick anything from a Honda Civic to a Bugatti Veyron. You can tune and paint your car to meet your standards. It's by far the best racing sim i've played.
