Ford Racing 3 does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a focused, no-frills tribute to the Ford Motor Company’s heritage. While it lacks the polish, depth, and licensing variety of Forza Motorsport or Project Gotham Racing 2 , it offers a surprisingly solid arcade-sim handling model and a deep roster of Ford vehicles that will appeal specifically to Blue Oval enthusiasts. For the casual racing fan, it’s a rental. For a Ford fanatic, it’s a hidden gem. 1-2 player local split-screen; up to 6 players
