Tell the toughest race you've played yet.
Including any game. Race must be only one.

According to me:

The race of MAFIA in "Fairplay" mission.

Toughest race for me was in Colin McRae Rally 04. It was in the rally of england. The 4th or 5th stage i think.

The toughest race was in Mafia with no doubt,and the worse part is that there are no chets by which you can bypass tht mission.

Is fairplay the one where you have to race a 5-lap circuit? If thats the one, then there is a cheat.

You can turn left on a road that has been blocked by some road blocks but has a little space to gently get the car in. After that, keep moving forward despite the warnings. When you near the billboards, start tapping on "keypad 0" and you will be transported to the starting line with one successfull lap. Do it five times to complete the race.

On another note, the Mafia v1.1 patch deals with the race, making it a little easier. So if you don't like cheating, apply the patch and give it another shot.

I'd played mafia , yeah have to agree it was tough. Any what more I had to use the cheats to finish them off.

I'd like to know anybody who hasnt used the cheats and finished the game.

I finished it quite a while back though and dont remember much except for the fact that i had to try the last mission at least 10 times. Also the race was very tough.

sorry for digging a dead thread, but i''m a race game fan so...:D

My toughest Race is England Stages in Colin McRae 04 & 05.

this is the only country where i fall to 3rd-4th (overall) Position in Championship ladder :x, & if i use the Lancia Stratos in CMR05, i'm never able to Finish more than 4 Stages of England:D, Tyre selection issue, which results in Tyre Puncture :D

in that car i always manage to Puncture Two Tyres (rear ones), b'cos of too much of Power to the wheels:D

England Stage hosts a variety of stages, each stage has Mixed Surface (Gravel + Rough Tarmac + Mud + Smooth Tarmac) & add Rain to it.

NFS has never been too tough, coz once you start "Racing a Simulation Game", then NFS is like a noob's play:D, though i had really bad times in NFS Porsche Unleashed (Factory Driver Missions).

Note: NFS Porsche Unleashed is not a Arcade game, its a Simulation Racing Game:wink:

The tougest race was the two racing game on the GTA : SA levels. They were damn tough. The first became easy when i choose rancher. The second mission where i can not choose the car. It was very fast car. This fog played the spoilsport for it :(.

Agree with him 100%. RC races of Vice City are so tough, especially the plane race. In fact, I had to chant the name of God and then only, I was able to clear them out! :D

P.S. I am not joking. :D

Wow! This is a real old thread. Like I said before, Mafia's Fairplay races was real tough. Also quite a few races in Vice City are damn tough, especially the RC ones, like the one on the beach.

^how about the final set of races with Razor in MW?

it took many tries (the first time), but after adapting to the "Speed Breaker", i completed each & every single race in the first try itself. (all necessary career race (frm blacklist #15)):D

ya, but that feature is like a Trainer :D

i hope NFS11 doesnt have this NOOBY Nitrous/Speedbreaker, just serious race from start to end, with some side missions, delivering Cars a'la Porsche Unleashed:D

i finished most wanted and carbon without using speedbreaker at all. its not necesarry. however nitrous is very imp and without it most of the fun og the game is lost.

i didn't find the final race with razor in most wanted too tough. i even finished the fial chase (with heat level6) in one go (thats bec the car bmw m3 is simply amazing, superb). however i found the race with balacklist 2 bull a little tough. definitely more tougher than the race with razr

LUCK plays very imp. part in that chase.:D

i had played (tried to finish) the last chase a lot of times, i forgot how many times i tried (maybe 4-5 times).

but one day i was helping my young cousin bro(12yrs old) in Finishing the final chase (by telling him the best routes:D), he did got rammed by SUV's Black Corvettes but he somehow escaped & he finished the Chase in ONE Go:D

me & my other cousins were speechless for few moments :D

The hardest race for me was NFS : UG2 final race.

If you talk about PS2 than its Burnout 3 first race. (I didnt get the hang of that controller)
