After playing FM2, FM3 can leave you with a bit of a sense of "been there, raced that". The incar view is nice but not the best (SHIFT beats it here, as well as having more 'soul') and the physics are bordering on good but I think RacePro does it far better (in the sense that you feel connected to the road and can feel the car more).
IMO the best racing "sim" (in the same sense of the word as BoP being a "sim") on 360 is without a doubt in my mind RacePro. I find it more fun to drive, more challenging and far more rewarding, but for sheer content and the ease of getting in a MP game FM3 edges it.
The comments of it feeling clinical and too clean are spot on to me, theres something detatched about it where you dont quit feel like you're in the car.
Play the SHIFT and FM3 demos back to back and you'll see what I mean.
