    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

    It's an amazing race, everyone should play it. A lot of cars to choose, big map, when you play it makes you believe you in the game, it's nothing but awesome, Microsoft Studios is showing why they deserve the trophy of best game producer.

    It could use a neutral gear when in manual sequential and when ABS is off for some reason I can break during corners without locking up but otherwise, perfect.

    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]
