@VictoReX3000 That game took so long to make and there was nothing impressive or new.

Forza 3 has an El Camino it comes as DLC on xbox 360

@blueflame1258 Yeah I watched the PC vs console GTA lV comparison,. Too be honest the 360 version ran more smoothly with a stable framerate throughout. I agree that developers don’t spend enough time with PC versions of games. I mean if Crysis came out in 07, then there should be something like twice as good as that by now for PC.

i love your reviewa, they are AWESOME!!!!!!!! =)

blueflame1258 March 16, 2011 at 8:10 am

@BudzMcgr33n But then again you have to remember that all the publishers like hate PC and never make games that are PC based. If you check out GTA IV on PC vs console, its just such a huge difference.

Tuppoo94 March 16, 2011 at 8:51 am

Mark, there IS a game with El Camino in it. It’s called Midnight Club 3.

BudzMcgr33n March 16, 2011 at 9:38 am

@blueflame1258 Surprisingly Dirt 2 barely looks better on PC than the console versions. The cars aren’t as detailed as GT5′s premium cars or most of FM3′s, and there is no object based blur for instance your rims at full speed look like they are barely moving. But ok I’ll give you that Dirt 2 is awesome, though not PC exclusive.

MrSpiderman14 March 16, 2011 at 10:13 am

need for speed underground 3, enough with all these side projects

blueflame1258 March 16, 2011 at 10:47 am

@BudzMcgr33n Maybe you’ve never actually seen a game on a computer. Check out Dirt 2.

n00bm0de March 16, 2011 at 11:35 am

Simply astonishing. But is this the true Need for Speed?

nhoodfan March 16, 2011 at 12:16 pm

are you gonna do hot pursuit and if you will when?

BudzMcgr33n March 16, 2011 at 12:35 pm

Why is it that PC gamers always claim the consoles are so weak, but they don’t have a racing sim that looks half as good as FM3 or GT5?

Great video!

TheSeventiethSeven March 16, 2011 at 1:57 pm

@CombatRationPacks Don’t forget about GTR2 either, that’s another great Hardcore Racing Simulator.

Again, PC Exclusive, GTR2 has too many buttons to be on a Console, and, again, Console users aren’t usually into proper Simulators.

If you were to ask a PS3 owner for a Racing Simulator they’d probably say Gran Turismo 5, which is great, but isn’t exactly a proper Racing Simulator.

Still a great game though, I plan on getting it.

you could play midnght club 3 dub edition….el caminos are there!!!

InteractiveBooster March 16, 2011 at 2:15 pm

@CMCMgamereviews Me too. I love Need For Speed Shift even if the handling and the physics are over the top.
I played the game and it’s awesome in my opinion.

TheAmericanUhate March 16, 2011 at 2:26 pm

@blmthug I’ve never saw any El Camino on Forza 3, and I have it beat 100%. Unless it’s on some secret DLC pack then I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have the El Camino.
