PC Racing games

Hi guys im gunna go get a new racing game tomorrow and was just wondering what you guys think are like the best ones to get.

Is TRD3 good? i was thinking about NFSU2 aswell because i used to play that a while back and that was quite fun, i used to love listening to music and just going to the motorway so i kinda want something more like that rather than like a f1 game if you know what i mean.

Thanks

Toca Race Driver 3 is apparently quite good, not a full blown sim, so you can still enjoy it in that sense.

Have a look at Flatout and Flatout 2 for some great arcadey racing action, as well as the last few Need for Speed games.

GTR 2 is addictive as hell, i just cant put it down.

agreed, GTR2 is the best but really needs a steering wheel.

going to disagree lads, i think GT legends is better. More fun when u can drift the big V8 cars. Original GTR was fun as u had to really concentrate or its game over. GTR2 i cvant seem to get one with. ALLTHO! i did have a great all bmw race at donny park the other night.

Ended in tears for one guy infront of me tho lol, he got tapped and lost the back end and just disapeared into the pits LMAO!

Try GTL is my opinion

If you liked NFSU2 try NFS most wanted, its tons better, totally addictive too, I loved it all!

Nice game, find it quite hard to control but i would have to say its more online play.

Did play NFS:MW and GTR2 and liked them both

GTR2 hands down.

Complete racing immersion.

Could hold out for 'Test Drive Unlimited' to come out on PC, couple of months away though, but does look good. A kinda racing GTA type game.

Can someone please decide for me out of this list then

GTR2
NFS most wanted (the bargain option)
or wait for NFS Carbon in Nov

Help me!!!

Oh and can anyone tell me if GTR2 is expected to have a reasonable mod community for example new tracks etc. I like the track list so far but would love to see full Nurburgring circuit, perhaps Suzuka and for desert a slice of Assen.

Most racks made for GTL work in GTR2 with a little tweak, the track you mention should all work in GTR2.
Addon tracks have one problem as yet they don't look wet in the rain.

There about 100 tracks to download so you should find something you like.

Tracks can be found at www.no-grip.net.
You really need to go to the forum at http://forum.rscnet.org/ to see how to get GTL tracks to work correctly with GTR2.

OH and you can add tracks to the demo.

If you want an arcade game, then NFS, if you want a proper game, then GTR2. Im loving GTR2, but i prefer sims to arcade crap, but all *** same, its not even close to live for speed for 'feel'.
