So whats your favourite game or games from the racing genre?

I have several from down the years such as Mario Kart, Gran Tourismo, Daytona and Sega Rally but I think I would have to put the Need for Speed series top with Underground 2 as being my fav.

I enjoy playing the Burnout games the most, crashing things as never been so enjoyable. :D

I forgot about the Burnout series, I was tempted to put the Destruction Derby games down as \i loved them for the PS1 but didnt think they'd be too popular, lets face it if I had 100 poll options I would probably be missing a few games

I was going to post Gran Turismo the second I read the thread title. After a quick glance at the poll options, I suddenly remembered the Wipeout series, which I loved back in my video-gaming golden age. So, I'm going to go with that...

Gran Turismo-All the games are great, the cars look awsome, graphics are GREAT!!! Everything you could ask for in a racing game.

Last option, due to lack of:

the V8 Supercars Australia series. Also known as something like Race Driver in other countries.

Typical of you lot to forget the best one! :rolleyes: :P

I'd probably go with the Need For Speed series, with Forza and TOCA (V8 Supercars Australia) not far behind.

Project Gotham, usually not a fan of racing games, but the mix of realism yet ability to use reckless abandon actually had me hooked for awhile.

Yes! That's the one! In fact, they didn't even rename it on the installation or on the disk icon in my computer! They just changed it on the splash screen! :D :P :rolleyes:

Oh, wait, hag on, isn't it Race Driver 3? (for V8 Supercars 3) Just checked, and that's what it appeared to be. :shrug:

Gran Turismo, followed by NFS a close second. CTR was also a racing game I enjoyed.

Well, I played the original on PC, and it just didn't seem that good really. I mean, the guy gives you his car and when you lose he just goes "great race, but I guess someone had to win". Those are just some of the points I have against it. (well, the original, at least) So yeah, I'd personally get a good ol' NFS, myself. :shrug:

I have only played a few of those games, but my favorite would have to be the NFS series

I was really into the PSX Need For Speed series back in the day. Never did enjoy any of the PS2 versions though.

Had a blast with Grand Turismo and Crash Team Racing, too.

Burnout. I'm going to crash anyway, might as well have it as a goal.

Gran Turismo has realism and Need For Speed has some of the best cars on its roster. They're both great.
