Hey All,

Whats your favorite racing game? Currently, I'm addicted to Midnight Club: LA Remix cause it has the perfect mix of a racing game and a RPG. Although, Need for Speed Undercover is a close second.

The besterest and most serious racing game of all time... Mario Kart Wii.

Not much of a Racing fan, but I enjoy Need For Speed: Undercover, good game.

My favourite titles on the PS3 are "Burnout Paradise" (spectacular crashes & real attention to detail in ancillary scenery. The ability to drop-in to online games almost instantaneously is a particularly good feature that I hope is carried forward and used as a benchmark for future titles, not only by this developer but by their competitors too), and "Midnight Club: Los Angeles" (interesting diversion from the 'norm' with a semi-story mode & after the first few races where the console-controlled drivers let you win, it has a decent learning curve to make you get really annoyed you lost a race but motivated enough to keep trying).

I have the Collector's Edition of "Race Driver: GRID" that grabbed my attention based on the Playable Demo, but I have yet to find the time to devote to it.

There are other very enjoyable "racers" on the PS3 at present. However, I didn't really rate "SEGA Rally" as I thought the graphics were a bit of a let-down [more like a PS2 presentation, than what I would expect of a PS3 title]... and I have yet to try my previously purchased "Stuntman: Ignition". I may well try "Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli" or just wait for the the soon-to-be-out-of-beta test "Supercar Challenge" [that will feature the downloadable content that was made but could not be released for "Ferrari Challenge" due to copyright issues!], but I have far too much to keep me occupied as it is.

One driving title to stay clear of, mind you... "Full Auto 2: Battlelines".

With such competition available now & expected in the next year or so ("Split Second", or "Colin McRae: DiRT 2", or "Fuel"), I probably will just ignore "Gran Turismo 5" completely.

BFN,

EDIT:
PS. A link to the history of the Gran Turismo series I have typed-up previously, if you are interested.

For the PC, I've enjoyed GRID as well as the rather new Burnout Paradise: Ultimate Box (although a little repetitive). A good classic would be Daytona, I'll say it's one of the first decent video racing game.

At this moment In time I really like Mario Kart Wii as many of my friends have this game online and it gets really competative when we are playing Its really fun.

My favorite racing game at the moment would have to be Burnout Paridise. It is highly addictive and you can't get bored of it. I have been playing it for 2-3 weeks now and I am still trying to get all 75 cars!

True, but there is little incentives to play that long =(
I forgot about NFS:Most Wanted, the best of the Series IMO. Police chases are for the win.

My favorite racing game is CTR: Crash Team Racing. I really like shooting rockets on the enimies that gets past me.
