The much-awaited racing game "Forza Horizon 3" will be released soon, and fans, especially players from Down Under, have reacted to the game's inaccurate Australia map.

"Forza Horizon 3" players who are familiar with the country are said to be confused with the way Playground Games laid out the video game version of Australia.

In an interview with Stevivor, "Forza Horizon 3" art director Ben Penrose explained why the team came up with this version of the Australian landscape in the game.

"When we put the map together, there are two things that we're really considering," Penrose said. "One is we wanted to get in as many beautiful, iconic locations as we could. The second thing is making it play well as a game and making the experience fun."

"That's where you sort of take the artistic sort of license, right?" Penrose continued. "You arrange things in a way that works for the game, but still allows people to drive through those locations and go, 'Oh, I recognize this.'"

The art director also said that the team has left out two popular cities in the game, Sydney and Melbourne, explaining that they would like to pick something else which is not "totally obvious."

"One of the things we really liked to do with our games is pick locations that people don't necessarily expect.," Penrose said. "We didn't want to go to Australia and pick somewhere totally obvious like Sydney or Melbourne."

"Surfer's Paradise has that kind of quirky, glittery, glitzy feel," he continued, "but again, it's kind of like not something a lot of people have heard of."

The demo for "Forza Horizon 3" is already available for Xbox One users. Unfortunately, PC gamers would have to wait a bit longer to experience the demo themselves. According to Forza's official site, the PC demo will be released sometime after the game's official launch.

"Forza Horizon 3" will be launched on Sept. 27 for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC.
