Your Fav Car racing games?

planning to buy some...love racing games.

what r the latest and your favs?

recommend.

 

on 360, i love forza motorsports 3...

since this is a pc forum though, here are my top pc racers...

1. GRID
2. NFS: Shift
3. NFS: Most Wanted
4. Burnout Paradise: Ultimate Box
5. DiRT (i only played DiRT 1 on 360 and i loved it, will pickup DiRT 2 l8r on)

 

1. need for speed underground 2
2. project Gotham on XBox 360.
3. Need for speed shift if u like super realistic racing...

 

I haven't played too many PC racers, but I'll throw in the ones I've played, which have all been pretty good:

GTR2
Race '07
GT: Revolution
X-Pand Rally

I'll probably pick up DiRT 2 and maybe the first one at some point, as I loved it on the 360. Going to get Gran Turismo 5 when it finally decides to show up. I really want one of those Logitech G27 steering wheels, but they are $250! Though it must be noted that they are both PC and PS3 compatible so I might pick one up anyways

 

NFS Shift is my number one, mainly because of the graphics. I can't wait till I get a new computer so I can play that game with everything on high.

 

Mario Kart? Oh PC right... uhm... Trackmania Nations 4ever!

 

don't get fooled, Project64 is made for games like mariokart, zelda, SSB etc.

forgot to mention PGR3, i loved that game. it was 1/2 first games i got when i bought my 360. that and perfect dark zero which i hated and hardly ever played. i sold it like 1-2 weeks after buying.

 

I'm sorry that made me laugh a little, if NFS:Shift is your idea of super realistic I am sorry...

 

For PC

Dirt 2
Burnout Paradise Ultimate box
Need for Speed Shift

Those are my top 3, I plan to try getting into more of the racing sims later on but I find the above more fun and better graphics than the sims.

 

Really loving GRID right now. Graphics are mind blowing

 

I'll have to revisit GRID, I hated the controls so much but now I have a wheel it may be better. I think it uses the same presets as Dirt 2, and I had to mess with Dirt 2 controls some too.

I kinda felt NFSS did everything GRID did but better so I never revisited it. Still I guess I should make sure I give it the benefit of the doubt.

I definitely prefer Dirt 2 over all of them though, graphics are top notch and gameplay is intense with good AI and even DX11 support.

Infact if I get game time today thats my goal is to get a video of Dirt 2 up on youtube.

 

yes, it one of the most arcade-esque racers i've ever played, its really fun though. no where near realistic...

and viscious, i always love ur youtube gaming videos, i even bookmarked it! keep it up man!

 

i agree with you... Grid is more realistic...

 

My fav racing game at the moment is forza 3 and is the only reason I still use my xbox 360. On the pc I play dirt 1 and grid. I want to get dirt 2 but it looks very arcadey compared to the first one IMO. I don't have my laptop right now or I would try the demo.

 

wanna try Grid & Burnout.

 

Sorry dude.. i play some car games and shift was hard.... just giving my opinions... no need to flame me...

 

Forza 3
Dirt 2

 

1 Grid
2 Dirt 2
3 NFS: shift
best racing sims ive ever played and not nescessarily in that order, but if your going for one none of those will disappoint!

 

never really played a racing game on the PC, so i couldn't recommend any.

my fav racing game: mario kart series
my fav racing sim: gran turismo series

 

I didn't mean to offend you so sorry, just giving my opinion

 

XBox : Forza 3
PS3 : Gran Turismo
PC : none since the new millenium.

 

rFactor (FSONE 2008 mod is absolutely awesome)
GRiD
Dirt 2 if you like rallying

PS3 : F1 Championship Edition

 

How could you not like rally?

I like the game a lot more than just for the type of racing it offers though, I really dig the soundtrack it keeps things going, and the graphics are just insane.

Game crashed on my like 4 times today though well my video card did not the game, not sure why. Im affraid I may lose my save data if it crashes during a save. First time having this problem think it was a gpu overheating/stability issue on my desktop.

 

yeah dirt 2 is awesome, I just find the menu annoying but graphics and handling : awesome

 

lol, havent got DiRT 2 but i tried the demo and it seemed as good, if not better then DiRT 1. i loved DiRT 1, nearly got all the achievements on 360 (sorry tho, im not spending my lifetime to drive 1000mi...lol...what kind of achievement is that?!?) version.

forza 3 looked fun, i played it but i havent even completed the second one past 25%, so i wanna play it a lil more b4 i buy forza 3.

looking forward to see how good GT5 will be

 

1.Grid
2. nfs shift/ dirt2
3. Mario kart!! ftw

 

1. NFS: Shift
2. Grid
3. Dirt 2

The best looking by far is Shift, it's also the more 'serious' of the lot; it needs a wheel (I use a Logitech Momo FF) else it's not playable, atleast for me. I place a premium on graphics for racing games as it's an important element that adds to the 'realism' apart from the usual controls, physics etc. Grid and Dirt 2 have that pseduo-HDR post-processing look that makes them look a little bit 'strange'. Also, Grid and Dirt 2 are great for casual racing, lot's of fun and easy to pick up and play. I play these mostly with the xbox 360 controller.

EDIT: All on my desktop PC; i don't own a console currently.
