    It’s kinda funny that standard AWD vehicles are much better suited for the tracks introduced in this expansion than Hot Wheels toy cars that come with it. [07/2017, p.47]

    Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels works even though it occupies a weird space. It doesn't play to Forza Horizon's strengths and, eventually, it doesn't even feel much like Hot Wheels anymore. It's claustrophobic and constricting in a way this franchise hasn't been before. In a twist of irony, it's the Hot Wheels aspect that prevents this expansion from ever performing anything spectacularly perilous.

    Hot Wheels demonstrates that Playground Games are so assured and steadfast in their vision for Forza Horizon that they can make something so patently absurd feel like the most obvious and natural thing in the world. It shows that games can be rooted in realism while reveling in the preposterous and that's what guarantees Forza Horizon 3's place as one of the all time great driving games.

    If you love the forza series, than you will love Forza Horizon 3. If you love FH3 and you loved hot wheels as a kid, than you will definitelyIf you love the forza series, than you will love Forza Horizon 3. If you love FH3 and you loved hot wheels as a kid, than you will definitely love this. This sort of expansion I would've never expected in a game like this, so much stupidly yet dangerously fun stunts. This DLC could not get any better. It combines FH3 with Hot wheels beat that from the PS2 & Nintendo DS, both some of my favourite racing games of all time. This pack is definitely worth $20 ($30 AUD) whether you are a fan of hot wheels or not, but as long as you love Forza. This and Blizzard Mountain have proven that no matter how unrealistic some of these stunts and features may be, it still works very well in a racing game like this. This is way better than both of the expansions we ever got in Forza Horizon 2 and this one is definitely Playground Games finest work at an expansion pack.… Full Review »

    This Hot Wheels DLC is something I never knew I wanted and after playing it for 5 hours I am totally hooked to Forza Horizon 3 even more thanThis Hot Wheels DLC is something I never knew I wanted and after playing it for 5 hours I am totally hooked to Forza Horizon 3 even more than before. Forza Horizon 3 is by far the best racing game this generation. Im not a big fan of the Forza Motorsports series since its a bit too hardcore for me but its also great. It feels like Forza is the single handed reason why the racing genre is becoming more relevant again. Hopefully when GT Sport drops on PS4 this year it will be just as good. PS4 owners deserve an elite racing experience from GT like Xbox provides its owners with Forza. The Hot Wheels DLC is simply and Epic experience that can be appreciated by hardcore and casual racing fans. Its like Mario Kart for real cars, simply amazing visuals, and so much detail has been put into this DLC its insane. Truly a must play game for Xbox owners or Racing fans.… Full Review »
