Any good racing game?

Postby beau_boy04 on Wed Jun 27, 2007 9:08 am

I used to play Gran Turismo in PS2 and it was great and lotta fun but eventually i sold my PS2 to a friend of mine. Anyways, is there any racing game as good as Gran Turismo for PC? I have Need for Speed Underground 2 but that doesn't cut it.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks.

The only bad news is it comes out in August according to Wikepedia and gamestop http://www.gamestop.com/search.asp?Ntk= ... iced+2&N=0

and the worst news is they are not making it for PC :(

No no no, the best racing game, EVER! Is Colin McRae: DiRT. No other game can touch it. But you need a real baddass computer to play, glad i got a DirectX 10 machine :D

I'd say flatout 2 for arcade type racing or NFS Carbon for more realistic racing.


and Sauru theyre coming out with Gran Turismo HD in December :wink:
I can't wait.

What is that game's name? Forza Motorsports or something? That looks like its gonna be something. And I've always been a fan of the NFS series.

Has anyone played rFactor? I think it's quite good, and best of all open source, you can download mods for almost all racing competitions around the world (Cars, skins, tracks, etc...)

Give it a shot!!!

Forza is the best racing game I've ever played, by far!
