Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection

Turn 10 knew what they were doing when they packed this one to the brim. The Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection on Xbox 360 is the definitive version of one of the generation's best racing sims, loaded with every piece of post-launch content the studio produced. The Stig's Garage Car Pack and the 90-minute Top Gear video compilation are both exclusive to this collection, meaning you simply cannot get them any other way.

Add the Lexus LFA, Koenigsegg CCX, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Xbox LIVE Top Gear premium dashboard theme, Motorsports Legends Pack, October Track Pack, Hot Holidays Pack, Autoweek Car Show Pack, and the Nurburgring Grand Prix Circuit Track pack, and the sheer volume of content on this disc is staggering. This was the 360 generation's answer to the "complete edition" trend, back when developers still packaged DLC onto physical media instead of handing you a slip of download codes. The Top Gear partnership was a cultural moment for gearheads and gamers alike, and having that content locked to a specific SKU gives this version genuine collectibility.

For anyone building a serious 360 racing library, the standard Forza 3 disc feels incomplete once you know this exists. The Ultimate Collection is the version that belongs on the shelf, full stop.
