Driving games for PC?

Post by labbats »

I just got a steering wheel for the PC, and was wondering if there's any good games out there besides Need for Speed Underground 2 and Midnight Club. Anyone tried the Nascar one? I hate Nascar, but it's supposed to be a great game.

The old Papyrus crew made the new EA Nascar game and it's very good. The online stuff is hella fun, even if you aren't a NASCAR fan.

If you don't mind dated graphics, nab Grand Prix Legends. The physics are real and it'll take a bit to get used to it, but the game is still amazing 7 years later.

Grand Prix Legends...if you can get past the learning curve without killing yourself is probably the best racer ever on PC. Also there's a free racing game out that is supposedly very nice but I forget the name at the moment. For more arcadey stuff, that game Flatout (demo) is fucking fun.

I used to think so too, but with this new wheel strapped a foot away from my 19" monitor and surround sound speakers/subwoofer... it's way better.

Graphics are wayyyy better, sound is wayyy better. Gameplay is more in depth.
