No, it doesn't work. ASP.NET MVC 3 requires .NET 4.0 and VS 2008 doesn't support .NET 4.0. You could use Visual Studio 2010 Express.

@NitinJS, you cannot build an MVC3 site with VS2008. Yes, you can write an entire ASP.NET MVC 3 application using a text editor but that would be so much work that you shouldn't be doing it and instead you should download VS 2010. But if you want to be a masochist here's how to proceed: stackoverflow.com/questions/6783378/…
You can install Visual Studio 2010 Express alongside VS2008 - you do not need to uninstall VS2008, and it will not break your VS2008 configuration.
This will be your best option.
