The main campaign, if you want to call it that, doesn’t last too long, but you’ll need a lot of time to compete everything the game has to offer.
There’s a ton of content in the game that’s constantly drip-fed to you as you progress through the game, continually providing you something new to do around every corner. This isn’t even to mention the inclusion of Forza’s famous Drivatar system, customization options for 350+ cars and, of course, multiplayer. Other times you might be working to reach a specific top speed, among many other activities. Sometimes you’ll be taking part in crazy jumps or drifting challenges. Obviously, there’s a bunch of different races for you to partake in, but there’s also PR stunts which are highly varied and very fun to complete as you try over and over again to get all three stars for maximum gains on your XP, credits and fanbase. Progressing through the game how YOU want to is a great addition to keep things fresh as you complete all the different events in each region.Įach area in the game has a set of races for you to complete, and after you’ve completed enough events you’ll unlock a championship race. This is decidedly refreshing in a genre that tends to do things by the book and continually push you through with prearranged events. You can decide everything from time of day to the types of cars being used in each exhibition event. You also have the ability in this entry to control how each event plays out. Everything you do in the game results in credit, XP, and fanbase gains and, as I mentioned before, there’s a lot to do. At certain thresholds, you’ll expand the festival as well. Not to mention that the game can be pretty darn addictive, too.įorza Horizon 3 makes you the head of the Horizon festival and tasks you with completing all kinds of different events to expand your fanbase. If you’ve read any of my opinions on open world games as of late, it takes a lot for an open world game to really make me want to bother with exploring its world, but Horizon 3 makes a strong case. The varied environments constantly keep the game fresh, and with the high amount of detail found in the world, it’s also very fun to just roam around and explore. The Outback is more open and allows you to be a little more courageous, while racing through the dense jungles forces you to always keep your eyes on the road as you navigate tight corners and ravines. Racing through the jungles of Australia feels completely different from racing through the Outback due to a number of different variables you have to contend with. It’s hard to get bored when you have so many places to race through, and due to the varied landscapes, each area provides a different feel for each of the races you partake in. The map is highly varied, allowing you to drive through the after-mentioned jungles, the Australian outback, valleys and vineyards, coastal areas, and even a small city. With Horizon 3’s move to Australia this issue is nulled. One of the main issues I had with Forza Horizon 2 was the lack of varied areas to explore - or more so, there were areas but they didn’t differ all that much in visual flair, and thus the game became stagnant. Still a great game, but it didn’t hold my attention for as long as the original did.
I greatly enjoyed the original game, but the second one lacked the same sort of charm that came with the original. In a matter of maybe five minutes, you’re treated to some of the best visuals the Xbox One has to offer yet, a top notch soundtrack and, of course, a deluge of cars to drive.
FORZA HORIZON 3 SOUNDTRACK NOT GOING TO GIVE IT UP SERIES
The third entry in the Horizon series makes a strong case for itself from the moment you’re plopped into the game, given a car, and asked to race against a helicopter hauling a jeep high above your head as you traverse the lush jungles of Australia. I’ve yet to travel to Australia, but playing Forza Horizon 3 has given me a strong case to go someday in the near future.
