PPG wrote "Dirt 2 is like flying twisted metal at over a hundred plus miles per hour, in-your-face racing goodness. Codemasters really designed a winner when they developed Dirt 2; there hasn't been anything released yet that can touch this off-road rally racing game (except the original Dirt, but I am sure you've figured that one out already). Codemasters has gone beyond the expectations of the original Dirt (not to down play Dirt, it was a very nice title), but to place it into perspective; they have right the wrongs and improved Dirt 2 by one hundred and ten percent.
Dirt 2 begins with you as a lonely rookie trying to make your mark in a league of pros, but unlike other racing games that force you in one direction, you are free to do whatever you like. Once you complete the starter races, Codemasters doesn't keep your training wheels on for long like in some racing games. The game begins right away and gives you the option to go any way and race any event you like. This is rather nice; you don't waste a lot of time and are able to jump right into things."
ASidCast: "There are times when you’ve got a lot of free time and very few games that you’d wanna play. This is a list of great games that one must play regardless of how old they get, and not playing these would just be a sin for racing fans. Most of these games revolutionized their genre and probably created their own genre in the process, while some were just too advanced for their time. If in any case you missed these, then you better search for these games and play them for a fun dose of gaming history or as a new experience entirely. "
Bad list, but to each their own.
No Forza Horizon, Driveclub, Assetto Corsa, or Grid Autosport?
And if you can throw in Trials when its not a racing game, why is there no Rocket League?
what shocked me was two games I loved during the ps2 era
JUICED and Street Racing Syndicate, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit
Then you have Forza 3, GT5, and the others you named above... smh
edit: and crazy taxi and trails aren't even racers lOl
Bought Grid 1 on pc for 2.50 last week, playing that at 4k60fps will make you feel nuts for ever spending 100's on racing games.
Says the guy who payed 100's on his 4k rig to play a racing game /s.
JK, Im sure its amazing in 4k... Its amazing in 1080p too so I can only imagine. You should try Grid Autosport, I actually liked that better than Grid.
I'll get it in a couple of years for 2.50. After I beat grid 2 and about 5 other racers I have.
@nowitski2004: I chose Project CARS over Assetto Corsa as a personal opinion,and Grid 1 over Autosport because the first one was great 'for it's time', autosport was good but just not that great.
Rocket League would actually be the next game if could make a longer list,really sorry on that.
@C-H-E-F: Juiced and SRS,are you serious? These are the games that defines the genre?
Hot Pursuit 2010 was Burnout Paradise with licensed carswith cops and wasn't even a better game world.
Crazy Taxi wins on the mobile platform,there are very few racing games on mobile with a open world. And the few there are,arent as good as Crazy Taxi. And racing against the clock makes does it a racing game.
Hardcore Gamer: Each game has been discounted 66%, taking DiRT 2 down to $5.09, DiRT 3 down to $8.49, and DiRT Showdown to $10.19 on their own. The best value for your money is the Megapack, which gives you all three for only $17.
So the last Spotlight of April, it's been a good month for money saving.
Yap! I might get this one since ain't enough rally gamez out there
