RedM Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I'm going for PGR2 on xbox. I like the feel of the cars more than any other game I've played. This offsets the fact that you have to keep driving other cars and can't build up a car through different classes like you can with Forza. Forza's handling sucked big time. If it had handled like PGR2 then I'd have chosen that. What's your favourite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I liked NFS most wanted, purely because you could get caught by speed cameras doing over 200mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Depends, my favourte sim of all time is still Toca, although GTR2 is pretty damn good. In terms of just fun, racing games where you can just sit down and play then im playing Test Drive Unlimited at the mo which is pretty good fun.

I've been itching for a good online racer since I bought the 360. PGR2 was great though certainly the best of the three IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 You liked the handling? I thought the range of controller movement needed to reach full lock was far too small and the game would have benefited greatly from a calibration mode for both wheels and joypads.

TLicense Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 GTR2 has got me pretty hooked at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ry4n Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I never really gave it a second thought to be honest. It just felt comfortable and controlable to me, while not feeling overly arcadey. TDU on the other hand, words fail me on how poor the handling is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucifer Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Why are we even asking the question. GT Period. Or micromachines V3 on the megadrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Forza on the original xbox was great. Aint had the pleasure of sampling the new one on the 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I keep goin' back to all the NFS titles on PS2. Good company. Love the drift stuff and mods. Best real stuff has to be the Gran Turismo series though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great game and I loved the damage. At the minute though I really like Test Drive. I just love the way that you can drive around a whole island Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I'm reserving comment until GT HD is out. From the demo, it is going to be stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads274 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I can't believe nobody has mentioned rFactor yet, it's the only game i play now (and i love racing games). The game as standard is a bit thin on the ground in terms of variety but check out all the mods available http://www.rfactorcentral.com/ Check out the hall of fame for the current best rated mods.

Angarak Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I'd say NFS:MW and GTR2 on the PC, depends if you want arcade (NFS:MW) or simulation (GTR2). Does anyone with Test Drive Unlimited on the PC know if a Supra is one of the cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkTheBoy Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Gran Turismo 2 on the PS1 was the best ever! Cant play it now coz the graphics look cack by modern standards, Toca was awesome and so was need for speed... Not really a 'car' racing game but road rash 2 on the megadrive was, and still is, a wicked post pub favorite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know - Ive downloaded it for the PC emulator thismorning cos I miss it now!

I played the demo of rFactor and REALLY didn't get on with it. I have to agree with Michael on this one, GTR2 and Live For Speed are my fav's on the PC... and I think Live for Speed is EASILY the best! http://www.liveforspeed.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
