racing games... prefs? Options

[rudeboy3d]

so me and my buddy have been playing this forza 2 lately (older game i know) but i personally like it a lot... could use a bit more visual customizing (ala midnight club: dub) but still very enjoyable...

only thing i dont like is the 5+ lap races... its boring as hell... i think its pretty accurate as far as the cars and the actual driving go...

im curious what are some other good racing games... im a fan of dub edition, just because its faster paced/unrealistic and i like the overall customizing you can do to the rides...

GT4 (the game not the car) has super slow gameplay and i just cant handle that... cool though how it has miles and the fact that oil changes are a necessity... :-P


anyways, what be your thoughts?

One of the best games for car modding I have ever played is Street Legal, and Street Legel: Racing Redline. only game that I have found where you can actualy take apart your motor peace by peace and upgrade as you wish, so if you want new internals, you get to take apart the head and block and put in new internals, if you want more power you got to buy a bigger turbo racing cams and visualy install them. its a great game unfortunatly the gameplay outside of the garage is far from good, but worth playing.

Street legal is an awesome game. There are so many differnt things that you can do. Also, you can edit the game files so that you can swap a V12 in a civic with some 20" rims (in the original). The only down side to these two games is that they were released with too many bugs. There are like 4-5 patches for each that don't even fix everything that is wrong with the games.

All in all tho the street legal games are great. You can build your own motor from the ground up. When you race you have to be careful not to hit stuff or your call will take damage. I would deff recommend this game.

I was a big fan of the gran turismo series. I played GT3 for a while, i think i got like 76% done with the game. Then I got GT4 where i was at like 52%. I played the demo for GT5 and it feels and looks just like GT4. Not sure what the differnces will be but i'm pretty dissapointed. I just recently got a 360 and I love it. I just bought forza 2 on ebay and can't wait to get that in the mail ...
