|  The better racing games? What are some of the better racing games out for the pc? I heard DiRT was fun, but the handling is crap. I was a HUGE fan of Need For Speed underground, but that was ages ago, looking for something with good graphics, and highly enjoyable, similar to Need For Speed. Appreciate the help

| Re: The better racing games? I also heard TrackMania: United is a extremely fun , and addicting game, but its only on steam.

trackmania united does not need steam to run  i suggest trackmania united as well. it is a suite of all the past trackmania game enviroments. it's not really similar to NFS, but it is 100% community based tracks - meaning any track you race has been made by someone who has the game. literally tens of thousands of tracks have been created for all 7 enviroments. and yes...very very addicting lol

| Re: The better racing games? DiRT is a top racing game. Look out for Rage by id Software - kind of a racing game with FPS elements involved. Not so much a simulator as a fun action-packed driving game. Should be out in about 18 months or so. |

| Re: The better racing games? DiRT is amazing, Need for Speed Carbon was a great game, and Need for Speed ProStreet looks ridiculous. Go with any of them.

| Re: The better racing games? The only reason you think DiRT sucks is because the handling is "realistic". So I am going to tell you that DiRT is a amazing racing game.. simply because it is. The nfs series is fun for a arcade style racing series. If you really want to get into racing simulators look into GTR2. Amazing handling compared to the real thing, I will tell you now that a double joystick type game pad will not work. either a joystick or steering wheel.
