Racing GAmes:::Does anything rival NFS?

Guys I have Played only NFS serie [minus prostreet]....I need someother racing game........btw I have tried Trackmania and flastout one apart from that..so wat are the better ones except them..........This is not just a recomendation so I post it as a new thread

N

Just play BMW M3 Challenge. This game included in the December month Digit gaming DVD.

1) burnout series (for consoles only)
2) GTR racing series
3) Nascar series
4) Grand Theft Auto series

Try Colin Mcrae 2005 and DiRT.

NFS has gone down since MW.

Simulation Types -
>Colin McRae (CMR) series.
>Richard Burns Rally (steering wheel = compulsory)
>GTR2 (full Simulation, but can be played wit gamepad)
>Formula 1 series.
>Toca Race Driver 3 (all in one package :))

)
>XRX Rally

The last 2 games have been dissapointing. MW was in fact one of the best NFS games ever.
Is there any other fun arcade style racing game for pc? Simulation games are hard to play with just keyboard.

Burnout (Revenge,Dominator,Paradise) trashes NFS n all other series .

Just play any burnout , possibly Revenge and experience what real racing fun is .

Undeniably Burnout series.It's not a rival it's a killer for NFS series.Nothing matches the sheer fun,replayablity & pace of Burnout series.Heck this game is so simple that you don't have to be a steering genius at it.Rather anyone can just pick up their PS2 gamepad & adjust to the gameplay straight away.The game is graphically the best one on PS2.You can literally see the extreme car detail & shiny reflections which is something worthwhile on a PS2.

The only drawback is currently it's console only(not the game's fault though

) but I wish it was on PC too.Would have been awesome.

Yup , currently it's Console Only and probably is for the better . Coz i can't imagine playing Burnout without an Analog Stick

Try Test Drive Unlimited....
though in TDU has no fun in playing races....its good to explore around Hawaii

Eh? We do get good dual shock analog controllers in market for PC too.Plus you could always plug in your PS2 controller via PS2-2-USB connector & play with your PS2 controller.

The Xbox 360 controllers works with the PC out of the box . just plug it into a USB port n start playing .

but the opint is that Controllers are not a Standard for PC's the Keyboard is and thus game developers have to make the game playable on a keyboard .

Consoles on othe other hand have a standard controller that includes an analog stick too .

But anyways , we might see a PC version of burnout as it's published by EA now !

I have heard a lot about burnout, but unfortunately I dont have a console.

V

Colin McRae (CMR) series.

@Indyan
yup, it can be
i dun have steering wheels, but have gamepad.
I dun like to play races on gamepads or with analog sticks.
Dirt is surelly tougher thaj NFS. But it requires a Sm 3.0 h/w with 1G mem.

Thanks then I would give it a try.
Other hardware shouldnt be an issue. I have8600gt and 1gb ram.

S

wen is burnout coming for pc ?

No release date announced yet , Might come in the future but currently , it's console-only .

i thought PGR & GT are the best racing titles on consoles.
