FH3: Hot Wheels is a imaginative take on the iconic toy, an impressive DLC and all in the spirit of the Forza Horizon franchise.
Throughout the years, racing game series have provided countless outstanding titles; In today's list, we'll present you with the best video game racing series to date.
F-zero wayyyyy to low on this list. I would take f-zero on the snes over any need for speed game. I think project Gotham should also be higher.

Don't think there's literally a "worst" Forza game man. Microsoft just makes these too damn good.
Microsoft didn't develop (make) Forza, Playground Games did.
Microsoft simply published it.
I see no difference being they've only ever made games for Microsoft on Microsoft's dime for the entirety of their existence as a developer.
@MadLad:
The amount of MTs and repeated attempts at rivalry towards Gran Turismo.
@god, i think you are confusing motorsport with horizon. MS is compared to GT, Horizon isnt.
lol.. pedantic much? ^ PG and the Forza IP are owned by Microsoft.
FH5 may be a technical marvel but it's been a buggy mess since launch and PG seem intent to add new content without ever bothering to fix anything. Many of which were bugs that were also in FH4.
FH3
FH1
FH4
FH5
FH2 (still good but the structure was messed up - too much emphasis on grinding "roadtrips" which was tedious)
They didn’t buy Playground until 2018 or 2019 I forget which year but it hasn’t been that long . The first Forza came out in 2005 . So most of the games were published by MS at the time but they didn’t own PlayGround. MS doesn’t make good studios in general , they buy them .
When Sony buys a studio after working with them for a couple of games, people on here call it an "organic purchase". MS & Playground made three very good games, based on an existing IP using an engine made by Turn 10 before purchasing them. But it is still pedantic. Shall we say that Sony didn't make The Last of Us? Or that they don't "own" the first 12 Ratchet & Clank games because they only purchase Insomniac a few years back? We all know what they meant.
Anyway, Forza Motorsport has always been developed by Turn 10. Which Microsoft built from the ground up. So when you refer to games from 2005, your point about only buying studios is completely wrong.
You left out a FH2, there were two versions. The one made for XBO by playground and the one made for 360 by sumo digital. There are enough differences to warrant each one being on its own.
FH3 is my favourite by a long shot. I got surprisingly bored of FH5 quick enough unfortunately so that's down the bottom of my list
I really dont care for any of the horizons. Hate having to do what I'm told. Forza 7 was the same, I didn't want to do anything other than race cars. But it made me drive lorries!!!..
Technically they all good games but I want the next Forza to be a proper car racer, all the trucks etc can be put under an arcade racing section which I never have to go into.
The mandatory gimmick races are a bit of a bad habit in FM games, atleast since 5. Also dislike the heavy amount of unskipable cutscenes and dialouge in FM5 and perhaps 7.
Tbh I found FH3 to actually be my favourite and the one I played the most.
The one I got bored of very quickly was 4. Wasn't a fan of the seasons and driving round England was boring cause its where I live. Got very old quick.
I still think 2 (Xbox One version) is my personal best. Driving an Italian supercars on an Italian highway just feel so "right"!!!!! "2" make me understand why Italian make those supercars.
I don't know why so many do not like 4. I like the seasonal change & dramatic weather change. 5 seems to dial the weather change way way down that the weather seldom change (Is the real Mexico really has such a perfect weather all the time?).
Tucked away inside yesterday's Nintendo Direct sizzle reel was the news that Wreckfest, Bugbear Entertainment's demolition racer, is heading to Switch this fall.
Boasting a variety of tracks, dozens of vehicles, lots of customisation options and plenty of destruction, Wreckfest will be crashing into retail stores and on the eShop for $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99. The Super Mario movie cast reveal might have taken all the mainstream headlines yesterday, but Wreckfest's press release runs with it in style, giving us a good chuckle in the process:
