Driving Games

Hey all, just after a suggestion...

After a new driving game. Used to have Colin McRae and NFSU2, but after something a little newer. Have steering wheel and pedals, just need the game now.

What can you recommend to me? After something racing, possibly off road option too. A variety of vehicles, realistic handling and crash effects would be appreciated. Price isn't much of an issue, but I don't want it to burn a hole in my pocket.

Computer Specs

HDD is not an issue

I think that Test Drive: Unlimited is coming out on PC soon. I've got it on 360 and it's wonderful.. the whole of Hawaii to drive around (wherever you want) as well as every damn car you can think of..

I bought NFS:Carbon too. It's a good game. Both that and Most Wanted are good. If you like Underground 2 then you'll probably like them both.

That Test Drive: Unlimited looks very impressive. Im not into driving games myself but 1 question comes to mind;

Why Can't MS make Flight Sim look that good?!?!

Cheers,

Take a look at rFactor here http://www.rfactor.net/, you can download a demo, although the demo doesn't do it justice as the freely available community upgrades from sites such as this http://www.rfactorcentral.com/ really make a difference.

Actually the demo is the full code crippled until you buy an unlock key and really justs acts as the canvas for full experience.

Enjoy

GT Legends

Heh I used to have Test Drive on the old Atari ST

The original GTR is cheapo! due to the sequel coming out. GT Legends is amazing in every way also.

Rallying wise you would have to go a very long way to better Richard Burns Rally which is available for a tenner or under.

And if your PC can handle it GTR 2 is really good.

I've heard some good things about rFactor but never got round to it.

On a nostalgic theme - I still love 'GRAND PRIX LEGENDS', set in the GP Formula One era of 1966-67. Then I get out my new DVD of the film 'Grand Prix'!

One rally game that I owned and still wish I had was (If I remember correctly) RC Rally.

The graphics were of photo quality taking in stages from England Scotland Wales and Ireland.

I am sure that this is still on the market somewhere and if this is the case would be well worth buying.
