whats a good car racing simulation game?

[AlphaIVT]

i'd like to play a new game, nothing more than a year old, can't stand dated graphic I'd like a game with real cars, not fake super mobils

 

[sandorski]

Sports Car GT is pretty good, just over a year old. Viper Racing is also pretty good, but a couple years old(graphics are quite good though)

Both of these games can be found in the bargain bin.

I know its old, and i am sure you have played better. But i still think NFS4 stacks up pretty well on playability and graphics.

Listen to me very hard AlphaIVT I am about to impart important, possibly life altering information!!

If you do not own The Need for Speed 1 (special edition) then do nothing but get up from your chair and go and buy it. It's old, the graphics are dated, but get over it RUN!!!!

If you have TNFS1 then I suggest TNFS 3 or 4 (much better graphics than 1 and good gameplay but not unforgettable)

Now listen very carefully again, 'cause here is the ideal game for you my friend !!!
A game called "Rally Masters" by Eurosoft is what you want. No they aint road cars their rally cars but the game is HOT!!!! if you want to try before you buy there is a DEMO available. Its a fairly new game and the graphics are SWEEEET!!!


Now go forth and do as I have directed. May your hands be sore for an eternity and your sleeps be short...

"Revolt" is an extremely fun driving game...

You get jumps, nitro, few silly weapons, power-sliding, and some tough AI to race against.

Another game that is a blast is "Driver", survival mode is awesome...

The best and most realistic racing sim ever made is Grand Prix Legends by Papyrus Racing Games. Its based on early Formula 1 cars.

For a reality check and test your ability try Nascar3... it has several tracks (the whole Winston Cup series). Also its based on having to develope your own setups for each track and allows you to make changes during the race (just as they have to do)... There are many other enhancments like painting your own car the way you want (which can take days...) to making your own custom driver list & profiles...


BTW there is an arcade mode if you really need help and want to the bad boy on the track... (if ya cant run 218mph at Talladega ya aint poopoo and I mean in realistic mode...)

Driver is great fun and i would also suggest trying Rally Masters. i thought this was a great game as well. it depends wether you are looking for a real simulation, or just an arcade racer.

 

[Wah]

Grand Prix 3 if you're into formula 1

I would recommend Colin McRae Rally 2. Just out in Europe, don't know when it will come out in the US but you can try the demo to make your mind if it's worth waiting or ordering. CMR2 Demo

The graphics are great, the handling is sweet and overall excellent game.

need for speed: Porche unleashed, excelent graphics and game play, esp. the evolution mode.

 

[damocles]

What is Evolution mood?

 

[Orbius]

Dirt Track Racing is completely underrated and very awesome! Beats the pants off the Nascar games definitely.

 

[Gorgonzola]

i actually thought dirt track racing was terrible. i was looking forward to it so much after playing rat bags Powerslide. dirt track racing was disappointing.

 

[sandorski]

Damocles: Evolution mode starts out in 1950 where you race the Ferdinand(first Porsche), it then proceeds from then to the most recent models of Porsches. It's really great, although it's not exactly a simulation. NFS PU is very good though.

I loved Dirt Track Racing. We played here a little at work, and the funnest part was trying to turn over all the cars before finishing the race. It was hard, but if you got a good run and the right angle, you could slam into the side of 'em!!

Need For Speed III..
It is the best in the series of my opinion...
