    This game was absolutely crazy. It is the best Forza Horizon game to date. Exploring Australia was awesome and it is the definitive Forza experience in my opinion. Still love this game to this day.

    I still playing it since 2018, almost every week!

    Now, FH4, 40hours is too much and about the other I don't wanna see in my life, I don't care. It's a huge disappointment compared to prevoius Forza's. It's empty, shallow, no real progression and the soundtrack is far beyond horrendous. And I'm not even saying about the SJW marxist ideology in it, with pronouns. FH3 has a great

    FH3 has a great soundtrack, achievments, a real progression, which means you're not millionaire in the first hours/days in the game, and the map cities and places match with each other, they feel connected!

    It is a very beautiful, fascinating, and amazing game. It even lasts till this day as my main game (tho I also have Fh4). Tho there are some things like too much loading time etc. But it was far better than its time and it's still decent nowadays. It gets kinda boring tho. If you are kind of a budget guy, get this game. It's kinda dead but still works out. I'ma give it a solid 8

    I really liked it! Great game, great setting! I loved driving off-road and just driving in general, man. The game felt kinda short? I haven't completed everything, and likely never will. But it just felt like it was over way too soon. Especially those special races, they were my favorite part and I wish there were more.

    Had hours of fun in this game playing with friends and just alone over the summer. The game looks good and feels good and will always be the best Forzia game in my eyes.

    This game is a must play.
    The Map:This Beautiful map is set in Australia, There are land marks in the game like, Sufers Paradise, Byron bay, and more! The Cars:There are over 600 cars in the game. For example there are; Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bugattis, and,,,, WAY MORE! The DLCs: There are 2 DLCs in the game, The 1st one is a Hot wheels expansion with a hotwheels map and over 5 Drivable

    The 2nd one is a snowy expansion, the map in the expansion is A Snowy Mountain and you get over 5 Offroady cars for the snowy mountain so you don't slip off

    Forza Horizon 3 delivered a gameplay with more freedom than FH1 and FH2 in many aspects, such as blueprint, forzavista and open wild map.

    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s more rare for me to get into a multiplayer game.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (10)Outstanding. A truly elite title that is nearly perfect in every way. This score is given out rarely and indicates a game that cannot be missed.

    My favorite Arcade racing game. Use to spend whole days on this game racing with my friends. Australia is beautiful and the road layout of the map was perfect. Wish i could go back in time and relive this game in its prime. Horizon 3 was the first time Forza introduced drivatars which was a cool innovation. It was kinda cool racing with A! that had your friends username. I liked how you bulld up the festival stuff as a story thing. Set pieces for the showcase races was neat. A lot of cool improvements to there past games. I believe this was also the first time the series let you download/use peoples car designs too but a may be wrong about this one.

    Forza Horizon 3 is THE game I go to for a shot of nostalgia! I’ve spent 12 days in total playing this and I’m still not tired of it. I’ll never stop playing this game because of how timeless it is. Oh the soundtrack, my favourite radio station was Block Party and for good reason! Sure Shot, Rings, Part Of, X Gon’ Give It To Ya, Higher, That’s Love, Shine, It’s Tricky! You know what? ImForza Horizon 3 is THE game I go to for a shot of nostalgia!

    Forza Horizon 3 is best introduction to world of "automobile enthusiast" people, is first step toward sim-racing. I believe, Forza gives maximum driving experience, that you can get, using gamepad! Man, it my most favorite racing game of all time! Thank you, Playground Games for dozens and hundreds celebrating hours of Horizon Festival!!!

    Pure fun. Phenomenal graphics and lots of adrenaline. The races are great, as are the side missions. MP and social interaction are great.

    Čista zabava. Fenomenalna grafika i mnogo adrenalina. Trke su odlične, kao i sporedne misije. MP i socijalna interakcija su sjajni.

    Way better than FH2, mostly because it’s actually an open world game this time. Graphics look way better, map has more diversity, more cars. Everything about this game is better than the last one.

    This game is amazing. Probably the best arcade racing game out there. Period. I've gotten hundreds of hours out of it with 100% completion. The huge selection of customizable cars along with the beautiful map make this game have incredible replay value.

    I have put over 900 hours into fh3. It's the best car game on console. It beats fh4 by far! The online is perfect and even if your friends aren't online you can still tandem with randoms and bang doors. The roads are perfect and game play is perfect. The car list is great but I would like to see more square body falcons and xbs upgrade

    Forza Horizon 3 is the racing game for everyone; regardless of what you’re looking for, you will find it right here, and Horizon presents it elegantly.

    The new Forza Horizon is even more enjoyable than before and its only real fault is that it looks more like a large patch for Forza Horizon 2 than a full-blooded new entry in the series. [12/2016, p.54]

    Fuelled by a semi-simulator brain and arcade heart, Horizon 3 is a very g'day indeed. [Dec 2016, p.62]
