Once you've finished configuring the options, you can then select a car to race from your garage, or buy a new one specifically for the contest.
You pick a route, choose the car theme from a huge list of options, select the time of day, weather, and type of start (rolling or grid), and then name the race if you so wish. If you're not interested in what's on offer, you can use the Horizon Blueprint mode to create your own competition featuring the kind of vehicle you want to drive. When you roll up to a race, the game presents a variety of racing options. As well as picking where you want to build your festivals, you can also decide what you want to drive competitively. Speaking of choice, that's a major factor in Forza Horizon 3's racing. While it's inevitable that you'll eventually build Forza Horizon festivals in every locale that's available, it does mean that in the early part of the game you get to choose the style of racing that you want to tackle first. It helps make for some meaningful choices, at least initially. Take the festival to the Outback, however, and you'll find that the racing is mostly cross-country, with a smattering of competitions featuring a mix of tarmac and off-road surfaces. Decide to build a festival in the city of Surfer's Paradise, and the activities in the local area will all be street-based. The choice of location largely affects the style of racing that's made available to you. As you level it up, even more activities are made available, and so the game goes as you expand your existing festivals, and eventually get the opportunity to build new ones in new places. Once you've decided where to kick off your event, races and PR stunts (bucket list challenges, danger sign jumps, drift zones, speed traps and so on) open up in the surrounding area that you can tackle to continue to build out your festival.

The action starts out with a series of introductory events that are designed to earn you sufficient fans (as well as experience and credits) to open up a Forza Horizon festival at a locale of your choosing. This time, you're the one who's essentially running the show, and as a consequence you get to a lead a very busy in-game life. It's a list of vehicles that offers an exceptionally broad spectrum of driving experiences and handling characteristics, ranging from a three-wheeled, 29 horsepower 1972 Reliant Supervan III to a 1000-horsepower-plus Ferrari FXX K.Īnother change from Forza Horizon 2 to 3 is the promotion of the player from up-and-coming racer to the boss of the Forza Horizon festival. There are street cars dating back to the 40's, the latest super and hypercars from the likes of Ferrari, Pagani, Lamborghini, and Koenigsegg, hot hatches, Asian imports, European saloons and hatchbacks, current and classic domestic motors, and plenty of really interesting boutique marques like Local Motors, Donkervoort, Arial, Baldwin Motorsports, Noble and W Motors. The impressive roster of autos is about as diverse as it gets: The old cliché "something for everybody" is most certainly true here. It makes for an interesting landscape to drive around, and helps keep the racing as varied as it's ever been.Īs well as an expanded map, the number of cars has been also been increased, from 250 in Forza Horizon 2 to over 350 in the latest version. Not only that, but the varied environments of down under have enabled the developers to create a more diverse ecosystem: Forza Horizon 3 features canyons, beaches, deserts, rolling hills, and rainforests, along with a mix of urban and suburban roadways and settings. Forza Horizon 2's Southern European setting was expansive, but this time out the third game in the series' Australian map is double its size. The main answer to that question seems to be to make an even bigger game. What I've been wondering, however, is exactly how Playground would improve on it for the sequel? Developer Playground Games really outdid itself, creating an open-world, arcade-style racer that looked stunning, and played even better. When I reviewed it a couple of years ago, I called Forza Horizon 2 one of the all-time great driving games, and indeed considered it a killer app for the Xbox One.
