Talking Forza Horizon 3 Review ( with Falcon pics)
http://performancedrive.com.au/forza...y-review-0109/

Hi all, been playing this non-stop so thought I'd do a quick write-up. Appreciate any feedback and does anyone else have pics of cars they've customised?

Nice review, I've been playing this game half to death, just excited to finally have a game based solely in Australia with Australian Cars!

Same, I have been playing this non stop since the pre release on the 23rd, so much fun and graphics are very well done.

I've had it since Tuesday and I'm already a level 95....

Played the death out of Hozion 2 and Forza 6 as well. I'm currently competing in a Aussie V8 Challenge that I made myself spanning across the whole map.

The only Aussie car I don't have yet is the XB GT.

Amazing screenshots . Is this a PC game? The FG GT rendering looks spot on.

Pretty cool game so far the Aussie cars I have are the XB Coupe, Super Pursuit, Walkinshaw, A9X and GTS Maloo. I think I will get the XY next...

Is anyone playing this on the new xbox one s with a 4k TV?

Won't be satisfied until there is a driving game with lifelike graphics and correct distances between cities, perhaps based on google maps. Then I can do high speed interstate runs and set records between cities like I did in my younger years, but all in virtual reality and not risk getting jailtime

Waiting on more reviews of Hot Wheels but it looks promising.

I grew bored of this game pretty quickly despite the Aussie content. However, if they implemented VR and decent force feedback on PC, I'd live in it.

One thing that irritates me is the cash grab for the extra cars. I had some that I'd already won in my collection that just got snatched off me. Put me off playing it actually.

There's a few Aussie Fords in there. Some of them you'll probably have to pay extra in DLC for them.
