Racing PC Games

I'm still running on F12k2. I wish they'd come out with an update.

Forza rules. It was super hard but felt rewarding when you got something right. I'm sure like me you tricked out the Boxster with a GT2 engine and gave it like 600 HP? That little baby could dust an Enzo.

I was a little disappointed with Project Gotham 3. I thought it was too easy compared to 1 and 2 (which was easy compared to 1) and did not focus enough on the "style" part of the game which was supposed to be its hallmark. Also, I thought the style challenges were simple. I beat most of them on Gold on the first try.

Oh well, Forza 2 for the 360 will be out this holiday season. Cross your fingers.

Anybody played the "Need for Speed: Unlimited" Demo. Its awesome. They are trying to make a MMO game for driving. The entire island of Oahu is mapped out with over 1000 unique miles of road.

THe Forza game was in an issue of Popular mechanics where they took a pro driver around Road Atlanta and then had him drive the game and he said it was the best he's ever seen. He was posting very similar lap times as a "pro gamer" so it was interesting.
Too bad you just can't go somewhere to play these game for an hour. Spending
$400 on a console, game and wheel is crazy. That's two month's worth of autocross or a weekend at the track. I gurantee you the game will not be as much fun.

But you can play over and over, especially when there's three feet of snow outside

I have the same MOMO steering wheel for my PC and have the same question. Forza is great for the Xbox and Gran Turismo is great for PS2.

I played a game call TOCA Racing Simulation on my Xbox and is even more realistic than Forza. I know that they make one for the PC, but no Porsche in the car lineup.

TOCA is a better sim than Forza?
really? is TOCA a PS2 title?
I read that Forza had the best whatever you call it model. of any
racing sim, better than GT3.
