Cheers josh - thanks guys - I gotta say NFS underground(s) are my favourite... sure the whole storyline thing was corny... but I'm not luke skywalker on a sony controller so I found drifting and drags easier than trying to hold a racing-line as tight as possible ;-)

Luke Skywalker? You mean Paul Walker right?
Or perhaps even Ayrton Senna, Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Mark Skaife? But not Skywalker jesus...

And I used to love drags vs friends 2 player. ultimate fun. especially if you get your friend to draft behind you and theres traffic and u swerve out of the way LAST second and count on them not having a fast enough reaction time (its like 0.04 of a second lol) and TOTALLED!

Pro street was the biggest let down ever.... in the last week or so ive found myself playing grid again..... wasnt too impressed with it when it first came out but its slowly growing on me...

Forza2 was pretty good. You can download the EvoX for it in a carpack too.

The only good racing game in terms of reality and detail of cars and tracks etc is Grand Turismo however the latest version, the Prolougue is garbage because it is far too small but does have the evo x. When the full version comes out it will be great!

JazzyB · Postby **JazzyB** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 11:36 am

Agree there - gran turismo is always most realistic... in terms of everything... but u don't get the warp-drive feeling that u get when u hit the NOS in underground - and all the scenery blurs and the screen starts shaking like an earthquake's just hit - lol... not realistic at all, but fun :-)

It was late josh - and I figured skywalker was more nerdy than those guys so his PS2 fingaz would be pretty precise I would imagine ;-)

Yea NFS is fun and so is Midnight Club, I havent actually played the newest version of Midnight Club though

Gran Turismo will be da shizzle when its comes out - as long as it has damage.....!!
Where I started back in PS2 times, but the lack of a damage model and thwe ability to bumb and grind your way around any track soon annoyed me greatly....
The PC games soon too over my console activity. PS2 would not have been powered up in 5 years, I reckon.

But all those games mentioned above are all too arcade-y for my liking.... NFS:U was a fresh change with the drag race options, but it was still just too easy to drive and win. GRID looks stunning but has a host of unlikeable things.

They don't have the Evo in it just yet, but if you want some real car racing action, then rFactor is the place to be.... Youtube it if you are not familar... or check out these winning videos

I've been racing GTR-Evo a bit recently too, but still find rFactor the most fun, and the most 'reallistic' to drive.... Plus, the free tracks and mods being released for it daily.... No handsets either... full racing wheel and pedals.... Logitech G25's are great !!

rFactor 2 is due out, hopefully, this year, and will be a new benchmark for Racing Sims.

i think thats why grid had alot of appeal for me simply cos when you got bored you could throw it into the wall a do some damage to your car

Play Forza/Forza2 on Xbox/X360 and you'll find the realism is way better than Gran Turismo. it even comes down to pressing harder on the brake trigger can lock up your wheels!! its the most realistic simulator out there on the consoles if u ask me....

Grid is gr8. Really give it a thumbs up. The only thing I dont like about it, is there is no tuning. Otherwise very realistic

JazzyB · Postby **JazzyB** » Sun Mar 29, 2009 1:06 pm

yeah...
I love 'climbing the ranks' and upgrading the car etc.

How's midnight club? does the car just "follow the track" a bit in that? or is it realistic like turismo?
