At highly illegal speeds, Cape otway to Phillip Island would be a highly enjoyable, scenic drive, even if it's just in a virtual environment. If they had unmarked cars trying to pull you over and HWP hiding in the bushes, it would be just perfection..

Wow what a **** article, fancy comparing a racing game to GTA. What an idiot.

That was a terrible comparison he made.

Didn't GTA get pulled from Target because of 'sexual violence'
Apart from there being no sexual violence in the game, out of all the things you can do in GTA some idiots thought that was what they should be complaining about.
These are the people we have in this country, people who complain about things they know absolutely nothing about.

350 Cars, The Map in this case is very loosely based on some locations in Australia.

Very loosely, but I don't mind that everything is not in the correct spot. I would rather see this game based on Australia rather than some other location which has been done to death in many games e.g. Los Angeles

Well that hodge podge is rather disappointing.

Forza Motorsport FB page is doing weekly articles on cars being included in the game.

The upcoming Forza Horizon is going to be the biggest map to date. I don't think even the older generation want to have a game with realistic travel times of melbourne to sydney......Horizon is a good mix of sim with arcade, not as strict as forza series but not as completely bat **** crazy as any of the need for speed games.

Forza 4 was my favourite and I have 6 but I got bored very quickly of the same tracks and nothing ever compares to the real thing.

Tempted to invest in a game seat with peddles and wheel but think I may be wasting my money.

If you're doing that, grab a Logitech G920, then you can use it on xbox + PC.

I love racing sims, not a big fan of the arcade stuff, but I'm definitely going to get Horizon for a giggle. Can't wait.

Looks like fun, 4WD conversion on a Pursuit ute

I updated to Windows 10 just for this game (to get DX12).

Always thought a great game would be a Bathurst one...I mean there would only have to be a couple of different tracks, and all the cars from down through the years...then mix and match. Modern V8 Supercar against the field from 1970? Classic muscle racing on the modern track? etc.

Considering its an Aussie based game, there isn't a huge amount of Aussie cars. Mostly Holden which is fine but farout could they have given us different Fords other than the hideous fgx and the usual list of wicked old school? They have been done a lot in games of the past. Stick in an ED or AU for something different!!

I still expect it to reek of american anyway. Will wait till its out before I think of buying it.

I'm pretty sure the Phase 3 is in it, but yeah more Aussie cars would be nice. Probably get DLC packs later on.

Had it for a few hours and have already modified the **** out of my Maloo.

Is it as good as it looks?

Definitely. It looks stunning. Byron Bay and Surfers Paradise look incredible.

I played all of yesterday afternoon/night and now I'm level 12 lol.

Bought my copy from ozgameshop last week. Was hoping it would arrive today, but not to be.. hoping tomorrow..

TheSneakiness · 28-09-2016, 10:54 AM

I could have had this since last Friday (23rd) but bills got in the way and now I have to wait... :(

Ryan · 28-09-2016, 04:27 PM

Been loving the game so far, but I have two minor gripes.

This is from Forza 6 as well, but I never liked how the Walkinshaw was grouped with the Holdens. Should be in the HSV group and it's carried over into Horizon 3 being a Holden rather than a HSV.

The FG Pursuit is grouped with the Fords. Should be FPV.

It's probably nitpicking, but that's just me.

Anyone got the Hot Wheels expansion? http://performancedrive.com.au/forza...-review-1409/#!

Rodp · 16-05-2017, 01:16 PM

Thinking about it. Looks 'different'. I got bored pretty quickly with the main game. Still got it installed on my XB1 but deleted it from my PC. It's a wait for more reviews and see on this one.
