    The worst thing about Forza Horizon 3 is that it may have stolen me away from the 'Forza Motorsport' series for good.

    A massively addicting and all-round highly fun play for any racing guru who wants to get out in an open world and have fun. The open world is colorful, large, and enjoyably explorable, and the Hot Wheels and Blizzard Mountain DLCs are excellent. If you ever plan on getting an Xbox ONE for the first time, make sure this is the first game you grab.

    With consumers’ attention spans reaching an all-time low, where they often act like goldfish moving from one trend to another in lightning fast succession, it’s hard for developers to keep a franchise going for more than a few entries.

With the Forza franchise now on its 10th outing (Forza Motorsport 7), it’s easy to see why Forza Horizon 3 was on many players’ top lists for 2016, as it doesn’t struggle at all keeping the series alive.

    I can honestly say without a shred of doubt that this is one of the best looking games this console generation, and I played it on a standard Xbox One without the 4K enhancements. I found myself stumbling to turn on the windshield wipers or grab for sunglasses regularly due to the impressive visuals from the background and weather effects, often forgetting I was playing a video game. From the detailed car interiors, the reflections bouncing off of the body of the cars, and the highly detailed beading effects from the water, this is the standard future games will seek to achieve and likely never accomplish. This is nothing short of car porn, sure to evoke a strange feeling in any car aficionado’s pants.

    If you’re new to the Forza Horizon series, it’s much like the standard Forza Motorsports titles, but feels a bit more arcade centric. While you can still tune your rides visually or mechanically as much or as little as you see fit, you don’t need to know the ins and outs of cars to make this enjoyable. The previous entries have made the player a willing participant in the Horizon festival, but this outing has you running the show. That said, there’s a huge wealth of customization options for how and when you race. Almost every event can be completed with any car, against any types of cars, with as many laps as you want. You can even save preferred settings for future races or share them with friends. The only exception to this is the Bucket List challenges, which task you with completing various objectives using specific vehicles, such as hitting speed checkpoints, racking up points in drifting challenges or simply racing point A to point B. Adding the option to create championships, as well as hitting all of the speed checkpoints, jumps, and XP boosting signs hidden throughout the vast Australian setting, there really is a lot to do here. Did I mention you can complete almost anything in co-op? Because you can, in addition to all of the online options available to you.

    There are a number of difficulty options and modifiers that can be toggled between races to ensure that you are always being challenged, with regular reminders or offers to change the settings in the event the game gets too easy or difficult for you. These make the title super accessible, especially for those of us who like to keep our foot on the accelerator nonstop. Despite each car controlling differently, the settings will help keep a mild standard between them, as some vehicles are more apt to spin out than others. The game does not belittle or penalize the player for using these outside of reducing the amount of credits and XP received for each action completed. These are needed to unlock additional perks, which provide various benefits to the player, as well as for purchasing new cars or fast traveling around the island.

    The island is massive, with a number of regions that give the player a wide variety of locales to race through, including beaches, jungles, and cityscapes. Progressing through the festival will unlock the option to select new areas to race through, which can be completed in any order the player chooses. Freedom like this is unheard of in most games, especially of the racing variety. Normally you would be forced to battle it out in some of the less exciting cars to get your feet wet, but here you can jump into a number of high end super cars right off of the rip.

    My one and only complaint is the inability to skip the voice over laden tutorials that never seem to stop. Yes, they do provide added insight into what you need to focus on in the game, but they are unnecessary and being unable to skip them is inexcusable. The same information could be conveyed in a short on screen display. While the loading times are not overly long, I found these to be tiresome and they limited the amount of time I could play in one sitting.

    If you’re in the need for speed or simply want to run around in the mud exploring the landscape, Forza Horizon 3 won’t disappoint. With its amazing visuals and wealth of content, the title will keep you busy for hours upon hours.    … Expand

I did enjoy The class burnout games, NFS Underground series, Midnight Club, again ect ect. I cant decied if this is IMO the best racing game I have ever played or if its burnout paradise. So why did I then give it 4 you ask? Performance. 30 frames per second is never fun. Never feels smooth makes the controls feel sluggish. If your think of buying this game buy it for the PC platform. I would easily give the PC version a 9 out of 10. The PC version is a butter smooth 60FPS with far better graphics than the console version. Its worth every penny and every second of your time. But only if you are thinking of getting the best version possible thats on PC.… Expand

The Sandbox do what you want is just a pale excuse to cut the costs on not even a simple reason to keep playing besides racing or exploring (the last one becoming quickly uninteresting due to the map size)
    The "be the Horizon Boss" is a joke as you do almost exactly the same as before, the difference being that it's not the boss that suggest what you can do but your subordinate... what a great boss we are!!
    And the economic system getting more and more in the way... no more direct reward, you don't make enough money by racing itself but by getting point that give you access to loot (sorry wheelspin), just to acclimate us more and more to the trash loot system like FM7 is showing us today and that FH4 and FM8 will keep on pushing to a next level later...    … Expand

    Forza Horizon 3 is one of the best open world racing game of all time. Beautiful graphic, decent number of cars, great game play, massive events, dynamic weather all in one package. Horizon series is flexing its muscles, and becoming stronger and stronger. I would recommend this to every serious and casual gamers.

    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

    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.

Here are just some of the things you'' encounter: speed zones, speed traps, drift zones, danger signs ("jump zones"), bucket list challenges, rivals events, street races & midnight battles, head-to-head races, ForzaThons (weekend challenges), convoys, barn finds, skills (perks), spotlights (more collectibles), showcase events, wheelspins, smash boards (collectibles), festival sites, as well as a ton of unique routes; each with the usual single-race, championship and Rivals variants; all across 488 roads and over 400 cars to discover. Now you can even make your own Bucket List challenges and have more options in choosing vehicle restrictions. And yet, despite all of this, the game feels... bland. Sure, the music is great and the auction house is back, and the graphics are better than ever, but none of this makes the experience enjoyable.

    You see, there comes a point where a game becomes too bloated for its own good. When you have an open-world map which is bulging with content like this, it's almost laughable. It reminds me of Far Cry 4: the developers simply went with the "more is better" philosophy, and in doing so, they ruined the player experience. There's definitely fun to be had here, and if you pick & choose carefully, you'll be hard-pushed to find at least something you like, no matter how casual or hardcore of a racing game fan you are. In trying to appeal to the broadest possible audience, Playground Games have created a game where "busywork" is the defining feature. Annoyances such as ANNA - the personal assistant which CANNOT be disabled, the forced interactions with the whole cheesey "Festival"/party theme, the inability to just completely ignore things you don't care about (like barn finds and adding drivers to your lineup), the overly long "tutorial". It's all just too much. When you have 5 different "currencies" (credits, XP, skill points, wheelspins, fans) and a complete open-world where most of your time is spent offroad (yet most of the cars are obviously not designed for it), there's only so much "ceremony" one can endure before it becomes a grind.

    As a huge fan of the racing genre and the Forza franchise, Horizon 3 will be my last Horizon game. The loading times are too long, there's too much unnecessary fluff and lacking in refinement. In conclusion, I can recommend Forza Horizon 3 to almost anyone with enough time and patience for excessive bloat and a playground where there's far more content than there ought to be. If you want "more Horizon" - both in variety and volume - Horizon 3 undoubtedly delivers. Just be careful what you wish for.    … Expand

    People expect this game to be realistic in every manner. It's not it's purpose. If you want realism, go play Forza 6. Forza Horizon 3 looks real but feels magical. Driving over the water and making spectacular high jumps without killing yourself or your car is all but real. It's all about fun, and this game is a hell lot of fun. Drop your expectations and just have fun.

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.

    Lots of different types of races and events to do in single player mode.
    Being in-charge of the festivals is pretty cool and gives you something to work towards.
    Vast amount of cars to choose from.
    Car dynamics are good and the balance of IA cars hitting you (in-race) has improved since Forza 6.
    Forzathon weekly events
    Forzahorizon Edition cars (they have boosts)

    Cons:
    Map feels too cluttered as you’re constantly unlocking events to do and you can’t keep up.
    Cap for amount of players in one world is still too small.
    Very fiddly to change car and upgrade in comparison to older FH games.
    Too many drivatars change lane and wipe you out when driving in the open world.
    Lots of different events but they all taken place on a small amount of actual circuits.
    Wrist bands seem like a second thought.

    Now I’ve played the game for quite a few hours and I’ve got to say, I’m really enjoying it. There’s parts of the game that are better than FH2 and parts that aren’t. As usual, they have nailed the driving, which is really the bread and butter of the game.

    If you haven’t played FH2 then pick that up first as it’s a great game and a good introduction to the franchise, especially if you are mainly into single player.    … Expand

    Why else would a grown man pretend to own stock
    in a company and flame the other-guy???

    ~~So with it being said that I game on PS4,Xbox and PC,,
    I will review Forza Horizon3..

    ~I saw several of my griends list we're playing this and I got lucky
    and Gamefly sent me this game week or two after release..
    (I use Gamefly for games I suspect could be boring etc.
    aka = not a keeper ;)

    *I was hoping FH3 would be better then FH2.
    Because FH2 was boring and soooo overhyped.
    Overhyped In-game..You're treated to a extremely corny
    over the top make believe party where people act lawless
    and treat racers like they are rock stars lol.
    ***BUT Sadly FH3 is EXACTLY as FH2..
    Boring,beautiful,perfect physics,huge world.
    BUT the positives are allllllll FILLER....

    -This game is missing the main ingredient= FUN
    *Right off the bat I'm in a BMW that I fully upgrade with money earned just from racing to the
    upgrade garage...So now I'm uber. yippie! not...
    *So I switched to my Halo Warthog. Don't even remember how I obtained it but I did. maybe cause I owned Halo?? whatevs. It feels different then the BMW...So I assume all cars feel different..

    *Is cars feeling different enough?
    *is eye candy graphics enough?
    *is huge car lineup enough?
    NO, it's not enough!

    --The map is huuuge but it has to be when you're into racing looong distances..
    Houses all look the same, and it reminded me of the fans in Madden & EA Sports games.
    Where there's like 5-8 different fans and they fill the whole stadium..
    Or like Dead Rising, and all ZOmbie games where you'll have 5-8 different Zombies that you'll see 1000 times....

    **I found myself bored in FH3..The fans/fame increased to fast, and too easy..I didn't even do anything and I already unlocked the 2nd and 3rd area's...This is BS!
    **The clearly is geared towards novice players. Yet they pull all these waaay ove rthe top enhancements to you're car like Air pressure, and fuel intake.. you get 0.1% speed or handling improvements..
    A mediocre attempt to add a RPG element so you can spend money you earn on something..

    The game feels weird as I can tell they spend Millions developing the game, but it's still too easy..
    I ended up mailing it back to Gamefly instead of buying it from Gamefly.

    ~Gamefly~ FYI~ Has a pretty awesome system for purchasing games. esp when you already have the game rented..You select "keep" and they then mail you the original case, and you always get the Day one edition with all the insert codes etc..
    Members get automatic 10% off and free shipping and members get a $5 off coupon EVERY month..
    Pretty ideal when a game goes on sale for $15( like Doom did) and I ended up buying Doom for $7 bucks..

    Other additions include the return of the Auction House for the first time in any Forza since the original Horizon from 2012,a 4-player co-op campaign,and limited Horizon Edition cars that give bonuses such as increased skill chain points for certain skills,or even double credits in each event that the car is used.The last big addition is wide-body kits,which make their first ever appearance in the Forza franchise.

    The graphics are just unbelievable with not just the car models and interiors,but the astonishing lighting of the Australian landscape stealing the show.Of course the framerate is solid,like any Forza game.

    The sound design is just unbelievable,but the soundtrack,while solid,is a huge drop-off from the previous two games.

    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 ****

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.

    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.

(im aware the r8 and hurican share engines but going off fh2 they could have made them miles better) also more annoyingly the amg gts, sls , c63 coupe and the alfa 8c ALL SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME. if you care a lot about sounds you will soon find this to be very disappointing and could have been easily avoided if more thought went into sound design. I'm sure i will find more copy and paste sounds as i progress. another problem that I've been noticing (may only be an issue with me) is that when I enter a horizon festival sometimes the game completely freezes and i am forced to restart my consol. over all fh3 totally blows all other racing games out of the water with the insane amount of things to do, map size, graphics, multi-player, and car list. hopefully this game you some insight before you buy, i would recommend you buying it if you enjoyed previous titles.… Expand

All things considered, its a fun 'cruise' game to race in, it doesn't topple the substance of a NFS Underground 2, but it is a solid open world racing game.

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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, 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
    Larger Open World
    Wide Bodykits
    Awesome Soundtrack
    Drone Mode
    Co-op Gameplay
    Improved physics    … Expand

    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]
