Here we go........

Raxanas · Sep 20, 2016

Are we gonna have a PC version review?

jmaine_ph · Sep 20, 2016

I think this will surpass 90 on meta.

Alexious · Sep 20, 2016

Unfortunately the PC review build is not yet available, so it'll just be Xbox One reviews.

ambar_hitman · Sep 20, 2016

Expecting 90+ meta.

jon bones · Sep 20, 2016

Really hope this game is good & the PC port is top notch.

Confused Cheeseburger · Sep 20, 2016

I will be shocked if this thing isn't a goty contender.

RodzTF · Sep 20, 2016

This is the only game I wish I had an Xbox to play. Love open world racers.

leeh · Sep 20, 2016

I don't care what this game gets, I'm buying it, although +90 will make me feel that little bit better about my already decided on purchase.

Lets go!

I'm ready.

Toadthemushroom · Sep 20, 2016

I'll be interested in seeing how progression works this time around, whether it'll be closer to Horizon 1's more guided unlocks, or Horizon 2's open layout, which in turn was much more similar to NFS: Most Wanted. I prefer the former, though I wonder if co-op means that sort of progression just isn't feasible to implement without leaving behind players that want to jump in to an event someone else is playing.

Cmerrill · Sep 20, 2016

The game looks nice. I wish the ps4 had its equivalent.

Insane Metal · Sep 20, 2016

Lots of 9s and 10s. That's what it deserves. :3

My review for ACG
Rated a BUY

Easy the best Forza Horizon and in my book one it is very close to a full blown classic despite a couple small issues. Its funfactor is through the roof.

I would imagine that it's even more open than 2, considering you have complete control over each events format, and car restrictions.

Gipsy Danger · Sep 20, 2016

I'm 90% sure I'm buying the ultimate edition but just waiting to see if reviews are favourable then I'll bite the bullet. Love the Horizon series.

MS is all about the PC platform, yet no review build 3 days before release. YAY!

Progression towards the end goal, or just in general?

Horizon 2 is one of the best open world racers going.

Editor's note: This is an early impressions piece on Forza Horizon 3 based on a weekend's play on Xbox One - our full review will be going live early next week, after we've tried fully populated online play and tested the PC version.

SA Gamer - 9.4/10

Positives
Graphics that make you question how it runs on the Xbox One| The soundtrack has finally been improved | The Online Adventure mode is exceptionally fun | It'll last you for eternity | Photo mode is still addictive

Negatives
Navigation is a bit of a step back from Forza Horizon 2 | Co-op campaign has some flaws

ekim · Sep 20, 2016

Gamespot: 9/10

With Forza Horizon 3, Turn 10 and Playground Games affirm the series status as the driving game for everyone The new emphasis on off-road options isnt at the expense of traditional races, thanks to the sheer volume of activities. All the while, Playground Games calculated kitchen-sink design philosophy and rich reward system persistently tempt you to explore beyond your comfort zone, whether its gifting your first Ariel Nomad buggy or reminding you that stunt races can impress thousands of fans. Enhancing your own brand might feel like a strange motivation to hit the road, but pulling off sick e-drifts on a mile-long series of curves makes the PR work worthwhile.

More open and Coop progressions in coop counts as if its singleplayer
