what's your favorite racing game?

[jims69camaro]

ok, fess up. i know a lot of us dig racing games, no matter which console (or PC) you own. which is your fave?

since i own an archaic, ancient console (gamecube) not a whole lot of choices. i do have need for speed: most wanted and nfs: carbon. nfs: mw, pretty good game, set up the story for carbon. carbon i like because they included some old school muscle, including a '69 camaro, which i naturally painted Hugger Orange. modifications are strict, not too many of them, but are intuitive. cars that you would assume have a turbocharger get them, others get the supercharger (most old school muscle has SCs). i've beaten carbon 5 times over and i'm still playing it.

[baddest434]

eh, i play alot of gt4.

Nascar season 2003. awesome game

[edpontiac91]

Toca 2 for the XBox. Had the NASCAR Texas Speedway track down to a pat, with the NASCAR style cars. Also the F150 Lightning trucks were my meat on that track. I was in the top 1% rating for the best times overall in that series. No medal, no money, no glory, but it was fun. Nobody could figure out that you needed 0% downforce on the front and rear spoilers to increase speed. With the right gearing, I could get up to 235 mph in the draft.

mario kart!!

[Brando56894]

i just bought a used copy of GT4 last weekend, i havent played it that much though.

[trashman01]

Driver is pretty good, so is toca. i also have GT4 but havent played that in over a year or any video games for that matter. wish some1 would build a off-road game where u could do pretty much anything to ur truck(not just a 14" lift, 38" tires)

[jims69camaro]

has anyone played Dirt?

[BlackBADaSS02]

I like the Gran Turismo Games.

has anyone played Dirt?

I downloaded the Demo for Dirt. Its pretty cool.

[Tru2Chevy]

I have also played the Demo for Dirt, and I'm watching Amazon and Ebay for cheap used copies (I can't justify spending $60 for a video game). It seems like a great game.

I love Forza 2 - It's the best racing game I've played on 360 so far. I never really got into PGR 3 - I don't think it's as good as the first two (even though the graphics are really good). Hopefully PGR 4 (coming this fall, I believe) will be better.

[ar0ck]

I'm still big into Grand Turismo 4. After owning the game for almost 2 years I finally have 60% of the game finished.

[DaSkinnyGuy]

I love Forza 2 currently I am #362 overall for time trials and top 20 for the new york city time trail. Use to play Need for speed underground and underground 2 online on PS2. Was one of the few to break 1 million drift points on the Lighthouse map.

[foff667]

GT series for me...hate the n4s series, Can't say I've realy played anything else other than the occasional nascar/F1 games so Forza might be just as good or better :shrug:

[Blacdout96]

Gran Turismo 4 life!! I will say Ive played Forza and they got a nice selection of cars where GT4 should of picked up, like they have the Cadillac LMP car and all GT4 has is their concept car... they also have the Panoz LMP car, and the graphics arent bad, butI grew up on GT and im gonna stick wiht GT.

[Predator86]

burnout:revenge! the most amazing and fast paced racing game ever!

[shane27]

has anyone played Dirt?yes, that too is a really good game

[bubba428]

What about the Top gear and Top gear 3000??? they were the originals man. You could even mod your car.

[Blacdout96]

Nah, Pole Position was the original. those famous words, Prepare to Qualify. I remember going to the roller rinks when I was a kid and those machines were always there.

[GP99GT]

i shouldve never sold my ps2/GT4...had a little over 50% done and somehow i passed all the super license tests

[misterjuice]

Pole Position

[WildBillyT]

Old School- Test Drive 4 in 3dfx.

[Blacdout96]

Test drive!!, I like Test Drive Le Mans, and Test Drive unlimited, although unlimited takes a alittle long, but its pretty cool to drive around an entire Hawaii island, and its internet capable, but it sux for the PS2 version, XBOX version is where its at.

[GP99GT]

Pole Position

:lol: thats all they had back in your day eh

[Knipps]

[GP99GT]

anyone ever play days of thunder on NES? now THAT was a racing game

http://www.consoleclassix.com/info_img/Days_of_Thunder_NES_ScreenShot2.jpg

[Blacdout96]

what about San Fransico Rush, and Rush 2, i wasent a big fan of Rush 2049.

what about San Fransico Rush, and Rush 2, i wasent a big fan of Rush 2049.

I think it was the later Rush games that had the secret stunt zones. I used to have a blast in those back on N64.

[Blacdout96]

San Fransico rush had the secret spot on like track# 6 on the side of the cliff, that was hard as hell to get to and survive. I liked Rush 2 and got me hooked onto Mt. Dew cause not only did you get the keys to unlock the secret cars, but if you found the 4 Mt. Dew cans as well, youd get the Mt. Dew dragster. the highest stunt score I got on Rush 2 at the stunt track was 144x3, didnt even give me a final score!!! and R.C. Pro AM, good find, i totally forgot that, my grandmom still has all her NES games, and that was one of them that I played. anybody play Automobile Lambroghini ( I htink thats how you spell it, i couldnt care too muc hreally) It sucked!!! they had like Vipers n stuff in it and you couldnt play them cause...well ...you could only drive lambo's. Im still undecided if GT2 or GT4 is my favorite Gran Turismo. GT2 set the benchmark with 500+ cars and my fav track, Red Rock Valley, but GT4 has 700+ and 100 tracks ( really more like 60, they just say the ones in reverse are another track) but in GT4 did you know there is 100 or more Nissan Skylines!! G@Y

Pole position on the atari 2600 rocks my world

LOL that game rocked until the yellow car went postal and lapped you like 10 times...........

[Dark_Knight7096]

I really like NFS: Carbon if I'm not looking for something with ultra real physics. I like how they have all the different classes of cars and each class has its pluses and minuses. That said I tend to only fill my garage with muscle lol. In the PS2 version I had a tricked out Z06 and my blocker had a SRT-10 Viper. The PS3 one I had 2 start over from the beginning so I'm in an SRT-8 Charger, blocker has Charger R/T. All in all good entertaining game with good storyline.

Ya dude that was a really good game i used to dominate...i remember once i out ran the cops in stage 4 or 5 pursuit with 4 blown tires:wink:

i started out with the Camaro SS went to the Charger R/T and then finally the Corvette Z06...i loved the vette but it wasnt fast and i wasnt skilled enough to beat the last level on the canyon in a legit way....i had to boost right from the beginning and hook onto the front of the other guys car for 10 seconds to win..only took 1616684 times:rofl:

[jims69camaro]

the "actors" in NFS:Carbon are fairly decent. they got a good one to play Darius, because you could actually see yourself hating that guy for pulling the stuff he did.

i'm currently running a murcielago using nikki and her gt40 to get out ahead of the others on the track. if you use Samson as a blocker, he pretty much sucks trying to get the faster cars. he's full of excuses. that's why i'd rather run with a drafter, and nikki gets 10% discount on performance parts.

[Tru2Chevy]

I find that as a drafter Nikki gets in the way more than she helps....

I haven't played Carbon in a while. I have everything beat except for the last canyon race. Best car I have is a fully worked STi. I've come close, but haven't managed to win that one yet.

- Justin

[SteveR]

Forza 2

NFS: Underground 2

NFS: Most Wanted

Interstate '76

NHRA Championship Drag Racing

[jin1481]

forza 2 for the win, best customization and physics. All the realism of GT all the customization of NFS.

[jola]

Probably Rad Racer. I'm not too big on racing games.

[DaSkinnyGuy]

Halo3 FTW

[Z28 Heritage]

I love test drive for the 360 that game is great:nod: :nod: :nod:

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

[jims69camaro]

Halo3 FTW

[68camaroguy]

RAllySport challenge ...great game

[88Z-Man]

[Savage_Messiah]

virtua racing

[Tru2Chevy]

thats true but shes always ahead of you so if u cant finish first she will

If she's always ahead of you, then you aren't driving fast enough......

- Justin

[SteveR]

Oh yea, Rock and Roll Racing for Super NES!!! Racing with Black Sabbath playing in the background FTW!

[Predator86]

If she's always ahead of you, then you aren't driving fast enough......

well im not always on the top of my game lol

and actually im thinking of the scout...there the ones that are always pretty far ahead

[Blacdout96]

I vote there to be a contest where we all try these games one day, have a meet or something

I second that. I still got my old school systems. SNES, Genesis, Saturn, idk where my N64 is, and of course PS and PS2, no XBox's or gamecube/Wii, But I think that would be a great meet up, and like maybe havea contest and hand out prizes to people wiht liek the best times or scores n such.

[Z28 Heritage]

Does any 1 like HALO i hate that game:banghead: :banghead:

[ar0ck]

I second a PS2 Grand Turismo 4 Challenge. Your best car on Nürburgring.

We can network them!

[Blacdout96]

I would love how to network. tell me the steps on how to do it, and expect me to be playing it twice as much as i usually do. I already have 3 cars picked out in my mind to run there that can hold the track no problem in stock suspensino form. the only prob is one of them shifts slowely, but sure as hell can boogy. And my track for a challange is Circuit Le Sarthe, a.k.a, Le Mans, and with no chicanes. that or midfield or apricot Valley
