You already have the best one - ToCA.

[Sebringmgb]

Grand Prix Legends
Rally Trophy
the big Arcade version of F355 challenge (with the multiple screens, shifter, clutch, hydraulic movement simulator and all the good stuff)

[DRIVEITLIKEUSTOLEIT]

Or if you like modding then give midnight club 3 dub edition a try (or midnight club 3 remix). Thats one of my favourite games for the xbox.

[xxxfudgexxx]

Best in order
1. Forza Series
2. Rally Sport Challenge Series
3. PGR
4. Colin McRae Rally (To small of Text, bad screens design)
5. Test Drive Unlimited (If you want to call this a racing game)
6. Midnight club (dub edition/remix)

NOT TO EVER BUY !
1. Need for speed (Hot pursuit 2 was fine but there NOTHING like that now/RICE)
2. Juiced
3. Toca Race Driver (Why buy when there Forza?)

[VanishingLight]

1. Forza Motorsport
2. GTR
3. Richard Burns Rally
4. Live for speed

If you haven't guessed it already I'm a sucker for simulation games

[BadgerGravling]

Has to be Forza.


Nothing else can compete away from a PS2 :wink2:

Because ToCA has more and better tracks, a lot more variety, just as good racing and car damage as well as proper racing rules. Also there are no classes so one car can't dominate every class.

[Stooo]

NFS 1,2,3 Hot Pursuit and Hot Pursuit 2, after that they all suck :(
Forza
PGR
TDU
Colin McRae Rally
GT
Flatout 1 & 2
Richard Burn Rally

[couthkiwi]

Awww, I found Juiced to be quite entertaining for about 48 hours.
Well worth the money I paid (I borrowed it from a friend, never gave it back... great friend I am).

Anyway, Forza Motorsports was great, nice customisation and stuff for it.
NFSMW was a great game for a few days, then it was just boring after completion.
NFSUG:2 is a great game, but like all NFS games, boring after completion.
Collin Mcrae Rally is actually a pretty good game, I found it was hard to stay on track, though.
Midnight Club is an awesome game, high speed races... Good for entertainment...

Not sure about other games.

[hudsonmanx]

GTR will be a decent buy when it hits 360, Im looking forward to getting GTR2 this friday for PC :D

I know your not trying to say ToCA is better then Forza ?? :nuts:

If you saying it's should be played because it has diferent tracks and better then other on the "NOT TO EVER BUY" list....
that game was very cheesy to me...

[RMCSBS]

Chase HQ (arcade)
Sega Rally
Toca 3 (Seat touring car racing)

[Crazed_Dodgem]

burnout, all of them :p

well, if you want to call it a racing game anyway, i prefer to call it a stress reliever :p

[xxxfudgexxx]

Chase HQ (arcade)


how great was that game ! my bro and i was hooked....

[CudaCatcher]

Best Racing Games Ever:

- Motor City Online. It had so much options TDU is proud of (but lacked so much too...). I would pay 20$ a month to get it back!

- Grand Prix Legends. The most thrilling, exciting and hardest to handle racing sim. King of the track for... hmm... 6 years?

[Sebringmgb]

im surprised GPL has only been mentioned 2 times.... Is it just that nobody here is old enough? Its like the king of driving sims!

[Zachc8614]

Ok guys i have made my decision i am going to buy forza 1 ten when i get a 360 i am going to buy: TDU, PGR3, Forza 2, Oblivion, Just Cause, Call of Duty 3(i have 2 for pc), and Mercenaries 2, which leads to $800

[xxxfudgexxx]

Just Cause

I don't know... played the demo last nite... pretty let down !! :noooo:

[Nematode]

I own shed loads of racing games.

My faves are:

The whole Gran Turismo series.
TOCA 1, 2, 3, Race Driver.
NFS Hot Pursuit 2.
Live For Speed.
Tokyo Highway Challenge for Dreamcast (DREAMCAST FTW)
Richard Burns Rally.

[RMCSBS]

how great was that game ! my bro and i was hooked....
Aye, "Lets go Mr Driver!"
Forgot to mention Grand Prix (Geoff Crammond PC)

Well I don't see why. The handling was fine, the racing was BETTER than Forza because it was more even and it was proper racing. It could handle more players online and it wasn't just touring cars (there was Land Rover rally-cross, ice tracks and all sorts). It had at least twice the tracks Forza had and better made up ones and it had an equally good damage engine. Like Forza you could tweak your car setup before any race, the online setup was just as good too. The only thing Forza did (marginally) better was the physics, but even ToCA Race Driver 2's physics were better than PGR3's.

[xxxfudgexxx]

I will have to strongly disagree with you.

"more even and it was proper racing"
I never had a problem being out drivin,if anything i though it was some of the tightest racing ever.(but still only 8players etc)

Proper drive stuff was really g*y if you ask me, just for the simple fact you can't bump someone EVER in the game.
Bumping Racing !

By far.. Forza handles better then any other car game

If you play ToCA Race Driver before Forza,PGR series you have a Problem or dislike real racing.

"It had at least twice the tracks Forza had and better made up ones"
Forza's NOT about made up tracks.. But REAL ONE
But because it had more tracks doesn't make it any better.

I never had a problem being out driven either, but that was only if I was in a Honda CRX or Tommy Kaira.

'Bumping' is not real racing. Paint swapping is ok, but deliberately pushing someone off the racing line is dirty driving. This is bad in all racing games, not just ToCA. If you think bumping is racing, maybe you need to think again.

Dislike real racing? Maybe you've never watched racing, but it doesn't take place on fake street tracks with eight Honda CRX's. Real racing is something like DTM cars flying around the Nurburgring F1 circuit, or V8 Supercars, or the many GTR trophies. All of which were in ToCA, none of which were in Forza.

Also real racing has rules. Things like black flags for dangerous driving, yellow flags if there is danger ahead, mandatory pit stops etc... ToCA has them all, whilst Forza only had pit lanes.

You say Forza is not about fake tracks, which isn't what I said anyway, but still Forza had hardly any real tracks compared to ToCA.

I agree that Forza does handle better than any other car game. But from someone who thinks plays Forza for 'bumping racing', I don't think you're qualified to tell me what proper racing is.

Forza tracks are Real besides there uphill races
All tracks are use in SCCA racing, that makes it that much better
Do you watch Speed Ch. "Sports car Revolution" They use a few of the tracks to test cars. Pretty sweet knowing your driving the same tracks.

Bumping/Paint swapping is great for a racing game

"deliberately pushing someone off the racing line"
If you have a faster car, and have a good run and you think you can pass him ,by putting some pressure on him to take it 2-3 wide before a corner
All for it,brings out the real drivers !!

Nothing should be easy

"dangerous driving " in ToCA was Way out of hand
Cpu would lock up there brakes for no reason..bump them in the rear.. Dangerous driving.

Do you have Forza.. just wondering ?

Because Nurburgring DTM style cars are in the game, and many of there tracks too :nono:

"Forza had hardly any real tracks compared to ToCA"
But look at the cars you DON'T get to drive in ToCa

Toca is Horrible if your trying to compare the 2 games

You obviously never played ToCA online with the right people. I did and it was the best damn experience I ever had on Xbox. Forza was good but the one car dominates each class ruined it completely.

Nope... never played it online
Was let down with the lack of real cars,& the way it handled/played
