Hi,
I am looking for the next car game to play on the XBox 360.
I used to love GT on the PSX, not just for the wide range of cars but for the ability to upgrade and 'tune' them.
Since getting the Xbox 360 I have tried;
PGR4 but never got in to it at all. Just seemed like time trials.
Ridge Racer 7(?) - Hated it. Getting stuck against the curb etc.
Midnight Club 3 (DUB edition) - On the PSP. Loved it.
NFS Carbon - Enjoyed street racing but cannot get the hang of drifting so cannot get past the first area. Getting a bit old now.
Burnout paradise city - Great fun but got a bit repetitive.
Grid - Love the races but hate the predefined cars. Everyone seems faster off the line although I can usually claw back. Other cars knocking me off the track and what seems like two seconds of no stearing when touching or being touched by other cars just makes me want to throw it out the window.
I have just tried the demo of NFS - Shift and I must say I really liked the two test races with the speed effects, racing line and feedback over what seemed like every bump in the road. I understand you can also customise your cars as well.
Views on 'Shift or any other games to recommend ?
Oh, I also have the stearing wheel (microsoft) which is not correctly centered but I have not realy found it much use (could be me
). Any games it is really good for ?
Thanks

, for the realisum 
. Grid only had this at set points. The sounds were also a lot better than grid with the shingle sounding like shingle for example.
