How much you'll enjoy Horizon 3 depends on where you fall on the driving game spectrum. The more hardcore sim fans might find things a little too arcade-ish for their liking. Although there are circuit races on street tracks, they'll never compare to lapping Spa or the Nordschleife, and the off-road driving isn't the same test of skill that you'll get from DiRT Rally. But for fans of previous Horizon games or the Project Gotham series, this sequel will probably tick all your boxes. (A friend described it as "
Test Drive Unlimited, but done right"). This predisposes Horizon 3 to a wider and more casual gaming audience without nerfing the important Forza cornerstones—variety, content, and car options—that make a game like this worth driving so many roads for so many hours.
The Good:
- Looks jolly good, even at a 30fps (which is at least locked and solid)
- A massive open map to explore with diverse terrain
- Plenty of customization on offer, particularly thanks to new "blueprint" system
- There's a soundtrack for everyone
The Bad:
- Less connection to the game engine with a steering wheel
- Hardcore racing sim fans won't like it
The Ugly:
- Some of the custom paint schemes people will come up with... woof!
Verdict: Check it out if you consider yourself a "semi-sim" racing game fan.
