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?

Follow up: GRID

Just got it for PC, very impressed, a menu system that looks and works better then DIRT , and game play that although quite arcade like, is very fun and physics wise is very good (again its an arcade not sim) the drifting is sweet very hard at first IMO but probably the best dirfting game I've played to date (most realistic.) I always hate it when games have two compleatly diff set of driving physics for racing and drift but this game seems to pull it off very well, feels the same but just like driving with slicker tires. as far as modding goes, there are like 55ish cars (of all typs) and all you get to do is change the colors to any of the preset "patterns" and any 3 colors you want from the list, kinda sucks but at the same time its not what the games is about so I'm happy with it. crash modeling is sweet, replay features is even sweeter and graphics in general are sick and very smooth on my desktop which is far from the top of the line. (AMD athalon 64 x2 4200 OC to 2.4ghz, Nvidia 7800 GTX OC, 2 gb ram.) I really like the gameplay, little more based on your team and advancing as a complany as appose to a just rouge racer. First thing you do after installing the game is jump into a viper and drive like a maniac though a san-fran corse, I got misserably last as I'm sure most do but that does not matter its just a quick invite.

anyway, I give it a 8.5 out of 10 (could be a little more realistic and more car modding would make it perfect.) for $39 bucks its a must buy for any fans of the genre, or any fans of DIRT.

I did have one problem with this game, when I first installed it and then tried to run it, I got an error saying "please insert an origianl copy of the game not a backup" even though I had an origianl copy, poped the cd out and put it back in and it started without the error.
