    Played many hours of the xbox one version and also now the PC version. I have most settings at low and medium but it runs well even on my older gpu and a decent i5. Best racing series only gets better, now on pc also. Go get this game now, simply amazing!

    When a game can take someone who isn't even remotely interested in a genre and make them a fan, you know it's a great game. This game is looks incredible and there's so much to do. Runs well on my rig, medium settings, 1920x1080, 60+ FPS: i7 4790k, Radeon R9 290, 16 GB RAM.

    I love this game. I have two GTX 1080s, so it runs perfectly for me at max settings. Although, apparently, it doesn't do SLI. Hopefully they rectify this. I'm having fun driving around faux Australia. The cars are beautiful, the tasks are fun. It's everything I wanted from this game. I should add that I haven't had any glitches at all. Maybe I'm the minority, but it's the trooph!

    It's pretty much the best racing game ever.

    Sure yeah there are some issues, but most are ironed out at this point.

    As I said, if you are a racing fan, you need this game. You will be missing out without it.

    "Take me away" to a racing game made in 2004, because that's what this feels like.

    Forza Horizon 3 has expanded on the Horizon series with a much larger open world (two times the size of the FH2 and four times the size of FH1), a large car list, CO-OP Campaign, a first for the series, wide bodykits, and overall an amazing game.

    In this edition of the Horizon series, you are the boss of the Horizon festival located out in Australia. You also have the power to recreate events into dream events with the new blueprint mode. The blueprint mode allows you change the settings of the current race you're about to join. You simply adjust the weather, time of day, what cars are to be allowed in, the amount of laps to race around in, renaming the race, etc. Bucket lists can also be created instead of changed. You simply choose a car you own, the choose one of the different modes, and then you choose the location. Simple as that.

    The car list has also been expanded since Horizon 2. Now supporting over 350 cars but however the real star of the show being wide bodykits and much more visual customization. You can even put a Liberty Walk kit on a Ferrari. I don't even know how Forza did it but they did. The handling model has improved quite a bit.

    The graphics look spectacular, great 60FPS gameplay at 900p on my GTX 770, tuning is back, a new drift mode has been implemented, also a new drone mode for video content, upgrading your festival how you'd like, more stuff to do, brighter more vivid colors, Xbox Play Anywhere Program, DMX is in the game, HDR capability, naming and creating your avatar character, Hiring friends for bringing in festival upgrades, the world is much more open, and FRIGGIN CO-OP!!

    Pros:
    Amazing graphics
    Brilliant Race Editor Mode
    Own it on the PC and get it for the Xbox One free
    Great Optimization
    Colorful
    Larger Open World
    Wide Bodykits
    Awesome Soundtrack
    Drone Mode
    Co-op Gameplay

    Probably the best racing game I've played in the last 10 years - and I love my car racing.

    First off, there are sooooo many cars to choose from with an enormous amount of customising. You''ll be shaving of tenths of a second a lap if racing is your thing and you know how to tune a car.

    First off, there are sooooo many cars to choose from with an enormous amount of customising. You''ll be shaving of tenths of a second a lap if racing is your thing and you know how to tune a car. Otherwise if you're into drifting (I'm not really) you can tune your car that way and maybe join a drifting club online. And surprisingly, drifting is fun and fairly easy to do in this game. Although, the traffic is annoying (like GTA V) so practicing can be frustrating if you're new to it.
    The map is quite big - and shows off Australia in very accurate and stunning detail (I'm from Aus) and to be honest, it made me want to visit some of these places IRL after seeing them in game. The graphics really are quite stunning.
    And finally, the sounds of each car sound the way they're supposed to. Not some vacuum cleaner like sound (Grand Turismo).The sound of a twin turbo set-up or a V8 are very distinguished and not generic at all.

    There are however some performance issues as others have stated, however it seems to be a bit of a mixed bag. I've only had a single crash to desktop since launch and I haven't had any stuttering issues as others have reported if I turn off MSAA (as others have stated). And there are some bugs with menus not showing up ) However, this seems to be an issue that will be resolved with a later patch.

    In conclusion, I don't normally write reviews, but I felt the negative feedback is due to other people's experiences with stuttering and performance issues - which I feel confident will be addressed in a later patch, and shouldn't exclude the fact that the game is quite stunning. Considering how big the game is - I feel there should be an allowance for early day bugs. Some will accept it, some wont. Honestly though, they're nowhere near as bad as people are making them out to be, and the game ISN'T unplayable (for me anyway)

    If your finger is on the pulse, I would look at HD vids on YouTube to see for yourself how it looks and sounds.
    For those wondering: my setup is:

    i7 6800k
    16gb Ram
    2x Geforce GTX 970 SLI
    1tb Samsung SSD

The map is huge and filled with so much to do, and are constantly unlocking the one of the hundreds of cars available. The graphics are the most beautiful I've ever seen in a game too! It's really cool to really feel it get much darker when you knock out a street light on the side of the road, even just that amazed me. If you are curious of my rig, I'm running:

    The high-end PC settings don’t live up to our expectations, but the handling, courses, and community features are all top of their class. Forza Horizon 3 is the type of racing game that just about anyone can pick up and have fun with, but it still includes depth for committed players. Put that together with a beautiful environment that you can explore at your own pace, and Forza Horizon 3 is one of the strongest and most well-rounded open world racers we’ve ever played.

    Forza Horizon offers you a huge world to explore. It gives you as many cars, from supercars to off-road buggies, to race how and when you want. Explore the outback, race along the coast. Forza Horizon 3 is possibly the best racing game in the world, just marred by performance issues on the PC and the dull nature of the create-your-own-race options.
