Driving game recommendation   
Hi

Could someone please recommend a driving game?   I own an XBox 360 but the 
driving games I've found so far
just don't appeal.   Basically I want something simple (I used to love test 
drive 2 on the Amiga

What I want:
* Obviously brilliant graphics and sound
* More Formula 1 than rally

What I don't want
* Things like Need for Speed - burnout - these were just too fast and there 
wasn't much racing
* Games basically aimed at kids that just want to see crashes.   I found 
burnout need for speed too fast - it was
just impossible.   My reactions aren't bad - but that game was ridiculous.
* Spend ages setting up the car or doing pointless stunts to earn cash so I 
can buy a good car

Games I've Liked
* Driver, Driver 2
* Sega MotoGP

Games I've hated
* Need for Speed
* Project Gotham Racing
* Gran Turismo 4

If you liked driver then have you tried any grand theft auto games? I
always felt they just followed on the 3d GTA games from driver 2. GTA
IV is cheap and can even be downloaded directly to the hard drive for
about £20. In a similar vein but a little more fun and so forth is
Saints Row 2.

there is actually a test drive game on the machine too, it has been
out for ages and is cheap, is pretty good looking considering its age
and has lots of different challenges, including delivering cars to
destinations without damage etc. I still play it occasionally even
though I've had it for yonks. it's called Test Drive Unlimited.

Yeah, TDU was good. Will it ever suffer if the servers go away though? It was 
always on live wasn't it ?

iirc, so the loss wouldnt be major.

you can play it off live, but it is still running and still has plenty
of drivers happily motoring around. supposedly another is in
development but all I ever hear is rumours.

that's about the size of it. if you are going for all the GPs then
there are a few which need to be gained online as it really was
intended to be played that way.

I did try GTA vice city but (and chances are I've completely missed the 
concept here) but it seemed to
be just steal car, run round , beat up policeman, shoot old lady - that kind 
of thing.

Is there a driving game somewhere that's say F1ish with all the bells and 
whistles but is playable without
lots of hassle if I just want a quick race?

Cheers

of mission and as there are helicopters and boats etc there's a bit
more to them than stealing cars.

I'm not a fan of F1 games tbh but as far as i am aware sony have the
actual F1 thing, so anything on the xbox is kind of fake. I may be
wrong.

personally I love forza, and the newest one has just hit the shops. no
f1 cars though but in this version you can pretty much drive if you've
never done so before as they have added stuff like auto braking, each
helper can be switched off too. I think you mentioned you didn't like
gran turismo though so you probably wouldn't like forza.

Sony haven't got the license anymore, Codemasters have it now. F1 games 
due on the Wii and PS2 this year, I believe, with 360, PS3 and PC to 
follow next year.
