    Big , Beautiful, Sounds great and gets the blood pumping. a brilliant racing game that improves on the previous outing. Australia is the perfect setting and is authentically recreated. This year its up to you to manage the Horizon festival and so far its one hell of a ride.

    Forza Horizon returns! This time the Festival visits Australia which was a good choice for scenic purposes. Now, I am not a car guy, I literally know nothing about cars.

Now, I am not a car guy, I literally know nothing about cars. But I bought Horizon 2 on Black Friday two years ago and I loved it. So I had high expectations for Horizon 3. It delivers on those expectations. The game immediately tosses you in as the Festival leader for the first time, walking you through new features like hiring drivatars to work for the Festival, hiring radio stations, or building a fan base through both races and stunt events. Showcase events are back and the game pretty much kicks off with the showcase that is shown in many of the trailers, where you race a huge double-rotor helicopter.

    I bought the Early Access because I am out of town next week and I really wanted to play ASAP, and I'm glad I did. It's been fun. Horizon 3 is an easy game to pick up, but you can make it as challenging as you would like. There's a lot of flexibility and customization, but at the same time it's not overwhelming. Many features and vehicles from previous Forza games return. The graphics look great, especially the Australian environment and sky. There are a ton of songs to listen to as you play, from EDM to classical, or just drive in silence. I highly recommend buying this game if you are a car person or a driving simulator enthusiast. The game has a 91 on Metacritic, so they must have done something right with this game. I have loved it and look forward to playing it in the weeks ahead.    … Expand

    Forza Horizon 3

    Roaring through the Australian outback in a thousand-horsepower Lamborghini at neck-braking speeds simply shows what type of game Horizon 3 is. It’s not a normal racing game – such as Forza’s Motorsport series, or Gran Turismo – it’s one that gives you an open road, and no limits. This is what Forza Horizon is. Maybe using a brand-new hypercar isn’t your thing – maybe    Forza Horizon 3

    Roaring through the Australian outback in a thousand-horsepower Lamborghini at neck-braking speeds simply shows what type of game Horizon 3 is. It’s not a normal racing game – such as Forza’s Motorsport series, or Gran Turismo – it’s one that gives you an open road, and no limits. This is what Forza Horizon is.
    Maybe using a brand-new hypercar isn’t your thing – maybe you prefer a classic American muscle, or even Japanese tuners. Whatever your favourite car choice may be, Horizon has most likely got you covered. With over 350 cars from all corners of the world, there is an endless variety of cars to experience within the game. The amount of tuning and customization within the game means that you can turn something as slow as a Volvo 850 R into an extremely powerful beast capable of beating the fastest cars in the world. In recent years, the Need for Speed series has been improving the customisation side of their game to a high level, and for visual upgrades Need for Speed has a bigger variety, however for the performance upgrades Forza has far more possibilities and options.
    The standard for map design in the Forza Horizon series was already high, with Forza Horizon 2 being set in a beautiful location in Southern Europe alongside the Mediterranean. However, Horizon 3’s world completely eclipses it. Forza Horizon 3 is set in Australia, and the amount of different environments – such as Byron Bay, the Outback and the rainforests – is amazing. Furthermore, the attention to detail across the whole map is extraordinary, as even little things such as road markings, signs and even garbage bins outside houses are made with extreme care and precision. Whilst the map in Forza Horizon 3 is nothing in size in comparison to The Crew, the amount of changing landscapes and different environments makes it just as good, if not better.
    Helping the world look incredible is the new authentic lighting featured in Forza Horizon 3. The dramatic, ever-changing weather is simply some of the most realistic weather in any game. The reason the lighting is so impressive is because Playground Games, the developers, sent six staff members to New South Wales in Australia, armed with a 12K camera to simply record the sky. The variety of weather is realistic to what happens in Australia, adding to the authenticity of the game.
    In the last two Horizon games, your character was simply just an entrant in the Horizon festival, with strict guidelines on the events you had to do in a certain order. However, this time, your character is in charge of the festival. Any single event has no restrictions – you can choose the class of car, the type of car, the weather, the time, the amount of laps and more. Not only that, but as host of the festival you have a larger choice of activities to complete in the game.
    The incredible graphics come at a price, however: the game only runs at 30 frames per second on the Xbox One, remaining locked as always. Inconsistently, the game can drop to lower frames per second, but this is usually only during unimportant cut scenes in the game. However, because this new Forza is released on PC, it is possible to play at a higher frame rate, but you will need a powerful system. The recommended specs for playing at 60 frames per seconds is a NVIDIA GTX 1060 combined with an i7 3820 is what is needed. Sometimes the PC version can experience frame drops, and rarely the game can crash, however it does not happen often.
    There are also two expansion packs in the game – Blizzard Mountain, which takes players to snowy, torrential conditions and the ‘Hotwheels’ expansion. This expansion adds ‘Hotwheels’ ramps, stunts and cars that many people played with as children to the game, adding a high-octane dream containing life-size toys completing loops and half-pipes type of fun to the game. Taking a Pagani Zonda R on miles of stunts, banking on many iconic orange tracks from Hotwheels is delightful. It differs completely from Forza’s realism, adding a completely different automotive experience to the game.
    The fact that you do not get penalised for bad driving shows that Forza is striking a clear balance between an in-depth simulation and a fun casual game, and they are doing that very well. Sure, you can get rewarded for ‘clean driving’ if you do not hit anything for a while, but if you decide to completely smash through every fence in your way? ‘Great wreckage.’ Letting players get experience to rank up by driving how they want to show they believe there is no ‘real’ way to play the game, so you can play it exactly how you want to.
    Forza Horizon 3 is, in my opinion, the best ever racing game to be released. It has a great mix between realism and arcade, with a simply fantastic car selection, and so far it has not been boring once. This game is simply miles ahead of the current competition.    … Expand

    If I were asked to describe Forza Horizon 3 in a nutshell, I think I'd pretty much say that it's like a much-lamented Top Gear challenge, in Australia, with your friends and random drivers culled from the population of gamers playing the game across the world. I'd also add that it's a lot of fun, and I really mean FUN with a capital F.U.N.

I'd also add that it's a lot of fun, and I really mean FUN with a capital F.U.N.

    There's something gloriously madcap about being able to hit the open world of Australia with over 450 cars to drive, push them to the limit in a mix of brilliantly designed events. There's something beautiful about hitting a dune in the Outback at 200MPH in a Bugatti Veyron and landing a sweet jump that gives you 3 stars.

    Forget Football as the 'Beautiful' game, that honour goes to Forza Horizon 3.

    The bottom line here is that Forza Horizon 3 is a game you really need to play if you have an Xbox One. If you're even the slightest bit interested in this kind of racer, get it, it won't leave you wanting.

    It might leave you wanting more.    … Expand

    I was impressed with the music choices, however I felt that there could be more tracks on each of the radio stations. There are a lot of hours involved in completing the game and the music starts to become repetitive.

    The gameplay is excellent as it has a range of fun stunts and challenges along with some competitive racing for some more serious moments.

    What I enjoy most about the game is seeing cars in unexpected situations stunt and challenge situation or having a race between some of the less obvious cars. I haven’t taken advantage of all of the online feature but I did enjoy rivals mode competing against my friends-list lap times.

    Although there is no riveting story line I did feel entertained for many hours which would indicate the successful of the game.    … Expand

Do you like taking long walks on a beach during a sunset? Do you like taking fast drives on the beach in a photo realistic Lamborghini during the most beautiful digital sunset you have ever seen? Then play this game! Not only does this game look stunning, it is perhaps the best racing game in the past 15 years, heck maybe ever. After unlocking dozens of amazing cars last year in Forza Motorsports 6, I spent weeks racing in the simulation while constantly being amazed at the realism and attention to detail the team at turn 10 were able to bring to the racing genre. I thought this is racing heaven. This June I was watching Xbox's E3 press conference when all of a sudden a kangaroo jumped across the screen in the most amazing photo realistic world. I thought to myself "Wait, what game is this?" and just as my mind started to race, a beautiful car drifted onto the screen and all of my fond, distant memories of FH2 and recent memories of FM6 rushed through my head. I could not have been more excited and have had higher expectations for this game. Yet on launch day this game still amazed me. What playground games and turn 10 have done with this game has set the bar at an all time high for racing games. Whether I am drifting down the beach listening to my own playlist of music or jumping sand dunes in Halo's WartHog while ride of the Valkyries blasts through my speakers, the game is always providing fun yet heart pounding action. Online races, customizable challenges, drivatars, and of course Forza Horizon's signature races with boats, trains, and helicopters carrying jeeps all bring something unique to the game. The map is large and diverse, filled with secrets and detail. I could go into more specifics about how great the driving feels or the graphic fidelity of this game on xbox one, not to mention its included xbox anywhere 4k counterpart on the PC, but anyone who has the slightest interest in racing games just needs to experience this game for themselves. Go buy this game! 10/10

    Anyone who has rated this game lower than an 8 just does not have interest in racing games. If you don't believe me then go download the free demo. It is a drop in the bucket compared to the full game but you will get a sense of what this game has to offer.    … Expand

    FH3 takes what wasn't done well in FH2 (4 race championships that became repetitive; offroading in hypercars being too easy; race checkpoints encouraging corner cutting or weird lines to be fast; RWD cars being too loose; roads that are not exciting to drive on; a map that felt smaller than it should) and replaces all of them with new systems that completely eradicates those gripes,FH3 takes what wasn't done well in FH2 (4 race championships that became repetitive; offroading in hypercars being too easy; race checkpoints encouraging corner cutting or weird lines to be fast; RWD cars being too loose; roads that are not exciting to drive on; a map that felt smaller than it should) and replaces all of them with new systems that completely eradicates those gripes, unlocking the true potential of how this type of racer can be such a joy to play.

    Races feel much better now, with the roads/checkpoints incentivising proper racing lines and hitting the apex.

    Offroading is much more suited to proper offroaders, while supercars are prone to skip and flip over the bumpy ground.

    RWD cars are now much more satisfying to drive.

    The map is once again littered with many icons, and not just four. The game feels a lot more free and open as a result, you have the power to choose what and where your next activity will be.

    The map now has well designed roads that feel fun to drive on, plenty of bends and elevation changes to put any car through its paces.

    The lighting model might look bland on occasion, but more often than not it blows away what FH2 had to offer, especially during sunrise/sunsets.

    The progression system is addicting. Instead of ticking off the next 4 rave championship for the 30th time with 138 to go, completing activities add fans to your festival which unlocks more activities and the big milestone showcases (basically a REP system).

    Most importantly, Forza Horizon 3 is genuinely really fun to play - all you ever need in a game.    … Expand

    BY FAR and away the BEST racing sim ever made. Blows away anything the "competition" can offer. Drive Club, gran turismo just dont even come close, not even in the same ballpark. Simply packed with content and features. Improves on Horizon 2 in every way. Not sure how they can top this one. Easy 10!

    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, a nearly locked 30FPS at 1080p is still in effect, 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 Xbox One and get it for the PC free digitally
    A locked 1080p30FPS
    Colorful

It has that Midnight club and Need for speed vibe but is still uniquely it's own.

    You've all likely heard a range of different positives, so here is my take. I'd personally probably edge more towards 8.5 than 8 but as we're only allowed whole numbers I'll stick with an 8...

I'd personally probably edge more towards 8.5 than 8 but as we're only allowed whole numbers I'll stick with an 8...

    So, whilst I’ve not quite put in the hours compared to Forza 2 (though I never finished that to be fair, so much content!) I think the new one is better which means it’s my favourite real car racer of all time… It’s not perfect though, here’s what I’d like to see:

    Festival upgrades – have a management system in place, not just “press X to upgrade” I’d have loved to have maybe a skill tree style thing at each festival with stuff like “resurface roads”, “add more tents to attract fans”, “more garages to attract drivers” etc… that way as you level up you can also spend cash/skill points to improve things how you choose – I’d like to see this in a future entry for sure, but at the moment it's still satisfying.

    4-player bucket lists – shame these are only 2 player, or at least the ones we have found are… I’d love to see some 4 player stuff, I know you could find yourself on top of each other, but that’s part of working together! Most other races and showcase events can be tackled with 4 players, so it's a shame.

    Custom races – love that you can create your own exhibitions and bucket lists, but these are within the limits of the already established tracks/rules – I’d love to actually plot out a route on the map and create a race from scratch, imagine how awesome it would be to do a full lap of the outside roads on the map or to do some crazy drag race style stuff in ridiculously heavy traffic!

    Photo mode in co-op – this is sorely missing, and the drone has no photography options which is a shame – I’d love to see this as an option so we could take some cool shots – I don’t expect it to pause the game, but to allow us to pose and take some cool, stylised shots, would be neat!

    Drone – This is cool and very quick at finding barns and other secrets, however it’s also very flawed – I’d like to get a LITTLE bit higher (not talking take off in to space, but just twice the height you can currently achieve) this would be good to better view the area, also it has no lights or anything which is a shame at night, it’s basically useless!

    Time of Day/weather - When creating a blueprint event you can pick time of day and weather, it would be great to be able to just pause the game and do this too, even if the game then gently rolls you into that setup so it's not jarring... It's mainly for the photo mode that I'd love to see this, I have a lot of random shots of cars parked in the sun, but very few in the extreme weather and I think that's mainly because of me hanging around in the outback.

    VW - Where is VW?! Missing from the game, and as a big Beetle fan I really wanted to upgrade one to the max and fly around the outback.

    Other than that I’m in awe at the game, there’s a huge amount of variety in place, with everything you see in Forza Horizon 2 and more including stunt jumps, convoys, co-op campaign, the blueprint system, Groove music integration...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So the long-awaited third installment of Playground Games critically acclaimed Forza Horizon series finally stores this month. After the Original received a score of 85 back in the days of the Xbox 360 and the Sequel received an 86 (both scored out of one hundred) could the 3rd iteration achieve this same level of adoration from fans and critics alike? Well, from my own perspective it seems to have done that.

    For clarification purposes, I have played both Forza Horizon and Forza Horizon 2 extensively, and have also (thus far) put between 15 and 20 hours into the new game. I only purchased the Standard Edition and thus will not be giving any information in regards to any of the VIP, DLC Cars or the 4 Day Early Access feature from a standpoint of an owner of the content.

    Firstly, lets discuss the scenario in which you dropped, this looks to be a role reversal from the previous 2 games. Previous Horizon games have you being an attendee at the festival working up through the ranks via wristbands etc. to become the most prominent racer at the festival. Horizon 3 has you as the boss of the Horizon Festival working to gather fans in order to expand the festival sites, unlock new festival sites and unlock new showcase events. It is a different perspective on things and a welcome change. But, what does it actually change in terms of gameplay? It still seems to be do a bunch of races and other PR stunts to unlock a new item/festival or showcase and repeat. OK, there are multiple variations on the objective front and race types (which we will get onto) which make this different to any other rinse and repeat racing game around at the moment.

    The first instance of action is to reach the festival site, this is split into an on road section and off road section. Then this is followed by a race against a Chinook helicopter with a Willy's Jeep swinging recklessly from it. Health and Safety man...
    But I digress, the intro scenes are very intelligently done with you experiencing both road and off road cars/buggies to get a feel for both and then a huge spectacle to grab your attention.

    One of the points I want to make is about customization and variation. Forza Horizon and furthermore Forza as a franchise have always been good at allowing you to customize the gameplay to your preferences. This is what I believe will give the game the longevity that it needs. You want to add any vinyls to your car, go find one of the thousands of community created items. You want to make it a race for a specific class, create your own event via blueprint. The list goes on and on and on. The Forza blueprint for customisation is one of if not the best I have seen for consoles, almost every aspect of difficulty, assists, event type not to even mention the 350+ car roster.

    The setting of Australia is perfect for the Horizon world, with vast deserts of the Outback through to the urbanised areas of Surfers Paradise to the white sandy beaches of Byron Bay. All of the areas are a pleasure to view from all angles and they all seamlessly blend into one another you never leave a zone and it immediately changes there is a space which you can see that it gradually changes. It adds a certain road trip atmosphere that is essentially what the entire game is about.

    To further develop the atmosphere that needs to be constructed. The Horizon dream has developed a wide array of music that can be played from a variety of music stations. From drum and bass to indie rock even to classical there should be something that everyone could appreciate here. One further thing I was not expecting (i just might not have been aware of this) was interactivity with Groove Music, this is something I would like to see more often, allowing individuals to further tailor their experience with their own music by pulling down playlists from there.

    In terms of online features, there is hundreds and hundreds of options, from an online cruise in free roam to online racing and even the clubs in which you can affiliate yourself to a club and gain bonuses (i.e. Credits) for advancing up the rankings. Plus the game will pull down people from the club into your games as drivatars on occasion.
    Performance wise, this seems stable I have not experienced any disconnections and synchronisation seems very good in my time playing, however this can be different dependent on region and quality of internet connectivity (mine is quite good at present but not running fibre so not the best) so your experience may vary slightly.

    Conclusions:

    Forza Horizon 3 is a well rounded game probably the strongest of the 3 Horizon titles with a highlight on the customisation of YOUR game to YOUR preferences, being able to tailor the game to your specific requirements. I am concerned that some people may find the game a little repetitive to unlock items however.

    My feeling is that the game is very good and is deserving of the 91 that Metacritic is currently giving it. (at time of writing)    … Expand

    El mejor juego arcade de coches de la historia, asi de simple.
    Graficamente es un deleite visual sin fin, es largo, es super jugable y divertido.
    Los juegos de Forza son la mejor saga de conduccion de la historia, solo los Ridge Racer me han hecho pasar tantas horas de juego.Forza se ha comido a Gran Turismo.

    Exactly what you would expect from the third installation in Forza Horizon series.
    The same arcade game-play as before, with minor improvements.
    New and bigger world.
    More cars.
    What more could a Forza Horizon fan want :)

    This is a very slick, fast moving and very beautiful game. And I get to race in a Warthog!!!!! Yeah baby. Big Halo fan here! But I am now also a big fan of Forza. Forza 3 makes you really feel like you are racing in the jungles, beaches and cities of Australia! And the most important thing about this game, is that it is fun!!!!!

    Evidemment toujours aussi arcade -rien à voir avec un Motorsport- le jeu se prend facilement en main comme ses aînés et se révèle plutôt distrayant... un certain temps qui devient de plus en plus limité au fur et à mesure que l'ennui progresse à très grande vitesse...

    Le multi-joueurs n'est plus aussi agréable ni efficace que dans le premier Horizon et son audience m'a semblé en net recul, car elle comprend tout à la fois : les super-débilos, les transfuges des GTrons et le public NFS ! le pire des mondes en fait, rassemblé dans une foire lente et lourdingue de kévins et de temps de chargement.

    En outre, Horizon 3 se révèle une abominable usine remplie de remplissage qu'il vous faudra limer jusqu'à l'intox. Ce n'est évidemment pas le modèle physique qui va nous motiver plus que ça puisqu'il reste très ballot, ni le ton toujours autant ciblé "jeunes adulescents" qui va nous pousser à enchaîner comme un crevard toutes ces courses à la mords-moi-le-zob.

    Il faudra donc se restreindre sous peine de vomir de l'horizon qui rend con ou de devenir complètement con soi-même. Courage... fuyons.    … Expand

    And I did get impressed by the intro.
    The game felt a bit like being a part of Fast and the Furious but that went away really fast after the first race.

    The driving experience is full of action but control wise it feels a bit sluggish , the normal Xbox one feels like its having a hard time with the graphics on occasion dropping the down to what feels like 20 fps at times and that makes it hard to control a fast car through tight corners.
    If you compare the driving experience with Forza 5 or 6 then this is no where near the same good driving experience that Forza 5 or 6 can give you.

    The scenery can be very beautiful so that's a nice thing.

    And in the beginning everything seems sort of clear, I quickly figured out what I could do.
    I kept on making progress up to a point where everything just seemed to be about the same thing over and over and over and over again. (It got really boring after 3-4 hours of game play, I have played this game for a total of 6 hours now)

    Considering the above then the price for this game is just silly.
    So I can not give this game a good review.

    Luckily we have stores that accept games as trade in value for other games so that is what I intend to do now.    … Expand

    Awful driving mechanics, I feel disconnected from the road, the vehicles swish in wide uncontrollable slides, it's neither a simulation or a arcade experience - it feels sloppy.

Off roading, which is unavoidable, is worst affected, even in off road vehicles there's very little control, in a road car the experience becomes even more painful. There's very little difference to Horizon 2 other than a improvement in graphics, the sound track is poor and cheap, having to unlock radio stations is a bad excuse for a 'addition'. The narration and story is childish and unrefined, where's the effort? The map is small in my opinion, this is fine if the world is perfectly detailed but it's not, people say it's beautiful but in truth it's nothing special or groundbreaking, the 'beauty spots' and the accompanied narration is just useless filler. They're riding the success of the prequel on this one, don't waste your money until it becomes a bargain bucket buy. The driving mechanics are inexcusable. The only good point is that the cars look and sound great.… Expand

    AI is horribly unbalanced. I can usually win races on hardest difficulty with no problem. Only exception are cross country events. Some times I have to turn down difficulty to easiest and I still can't win.

    Pr stunts won't always activate so you have to go back and try again. Doesn't seem like a big issue but do this 30 times in a row and you start losing hair.

    Other drivers or "drivatars" are always on your way when you try to set a record on a speedtrap or other PR stunt.

    Handling is set between realism and arcade even with all the assists turned off. This is the recipe for a horrible racing game. It's like trying to mix water and oil, the end result is ****

    Weather effects are cool. Only problem is that its constantly raining. Usually when you try to set a record on pr stunt and you really need the road to be dry. Only solution is to fast travel to festival site and then drive back. This is the only way of passing the time and getting rid of the rain.

    Some speed zone challenges are so hard its not even funny anymore. Driving a 750kg car with over 700kw V8 under the hood and you still can't make it... talking about ridiculous.

    Music is again like in all the horizon games complete and utter ****

    Any dlc that costs money, except big expansions is an automatic -5 from me. Reason to this is insanely high price of games in my country.

The game itself is standard racing/driving sim fare which is just what is required. The 'festival' theme is entertaining but I'm not a massive fan.
