    Out of complete boredom I installed GTA III (you know the old one, the first 3D GTA, in Liberty City) - I found the discs in my old boxes.

    And Jesus H. Christ the cars drive like a mofo. The second I stepped into the car on the bridge - NFS Pro Street hit my mind. And all I have to say is this:

    The cars in GTA III drive better than the cars in NFS Pro Street! I'm dead serious. Try it out. Maybe you're laughing right now, but I'm telling you, the feeling is 100 times better in GTA.

    If you'll indulge me please, try it out if you're really bored.

    Lol i agree with you...but they are too different to compare
    I'm glad that even gamespot give a 6.5 to pro street that is the real value of the game...nothing special

    i've always thought that the NFS series are pretty bad, simply because the money and effort are put into ads rather than the games themselves, they're miles behind the burnout and forza series. tried many NFS games along the years(trying to like them) but just can't the lack of creativity and quality. the only one that i liked was NFS :porsche unleashed back in 2000 or so!

    NFS was NEVER meant to be a racing sim, but more like an arcade racing game...

    Don't compare it to forza, and burnout is just too frantic to be compared to other games as just a racer..

    Btw, Prorche unleashed sucked.. at that time I was playing much better racers..

    hehe, that`s why I only sticked with the NFS PS demo...while the cd with GTA3 stays confortably on a shelf, waiting to be replayed.
    I`m actually playing Vice City right now, and I gotta tell you, after playing San Andreas, everything seems slowand the missions are sometime idiotic and hard ,but fun anyways.
    Gta3 was a major fun game when it was released...still is now, can`t wait for a newer version...

    I've never had the hardware to play GTA III on full details and native resolution. Although the textures look crappy - it's an old game - the physics engine in the cars are awesome. Same goes for Vice City and San Andreas.

    GTA > NFS at cars. Can't wait for GTA IV on the PC (god damn it) though!!
