Hey everybody. There was just a thread on PC racing games, but I'm looking for a good racing game for the Playstation 2. I already have GT3, but that's it. I'm looking for one preferably with real cars, real tracks, and good physics. I love GT3, and on the computer I love TOCA2 (BTCC). Are any of the F1 games for PS2 really good? Anybody have any suggestions?


Matt (who can't get his real racecar to run, so why not play games instead)

 

win the F1 car in GT3 with all of the liscens...

 

I have WRC and it is pretty decent. The only part I dont like is that you cant get the rear to come out that well. And it does handle a little different than GT3, Overall its a good game.

I also have a F1 (EA Sports) game and I really dont care for the physics, much more game like.

If you like bikes, MotoGP is a fun game.

 

TOCA2 in the usa is pro race driver, amazing game check out http://www.codemasters.com

 

excellent tip, I'm going to order it. Thanks for the other ideas. I do love using the F1 cars in GT3, and I like the rally parts of GT3, but I don't think I would actually buy a rally game. This one is perfect.

What's your set up on a Civic or ITR in GT3?
I go back and forth with stiffer front or stiffer rear.
Lap times can be the same, just drive a little differently...

 

In that game I almost always set up for oversteer. The understeer is very difficult to deal with, I'd rather let it be a little tail happy and counter steer.

Got all golds? 100% complete?


Me...addicted, still, years after...

 

GT3 is way too arcadey for me.

I havent played it, but I think F1 2002 is your best bet at a racing sim.

 

duh almost forgot

Ferrari F355 Challenge is out for PS2 now. Amazing game, extremely realistic, and some real tracks like Laguna.
Makes GT3 feel about as realistic as Rush 2049

 

I actually still have a few races to finish. Most of the enduros, and a few regular ones....


Matt

 

Try out Tokyo Extreme racer 0 for PS2. It's no GT3 though.

 

****, now I have to get two games.....


Matt

 

Sports Car GT... oldie but a goodie.

 

Has anyone tried Grand Prix Legends for PC? The sim is based on all the old school 1967 Grand Prix cars. It is an oldie (from 1998), but it is *the most realistic driving simulation* I've ever played. In fact, Juan Pablo Montoya has admitted to playing Grand Prix Legends and Grand Prix 2 in his spare time

Haven't tried GP2, but you guys should def. try GPL. I know you guys would enjoy it. Go here for more info: http://gplea.racesimcentral.com/cars/cars.html it has upgraded graphic models, and sounds, as well as downloadable tracks.

PS: Oh, and if you thought 355 Challange was good, you ain't seen nothing yet

 

There goes $50. Damn I hate it when that happens.

 

this thread is about PS2 racing games ya fuggin n00bs
SCGT and GPL have already been mentioned in this thread
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=356220

 

Still, $50 is a helluva lot less than I've plunked down on that damn game at Dave and Buster's.

 

Damn forgot about F355. I put that on my Xmas list

Hopefully its as good as the Sega version.

 

the only thing i liked about the dreamcast was the controller for racing games. Felt more natural than a PS2 analog button.

 

I got this for the DC, the only prob is you can only play as the Farrari 355 and all the computer players are 355's also, and no modding

but the tracks are definately cool Suzuka Long Circuit

It is Ferrari F355 Challenge, afterall...

Pat has a good point. That game SUCKS... money out of your wallet in a hurry. It's great down here, everyone at Gameworks on the weekends is waaaaay dressed up (clubwear). Always fun to go destroy some poor guy and watch his friends comment "I thought you were good?" heheh. Suzuka rules, just wish you got more laps there. I was fairly terrible on the oval the two times I've driven it, Long Beach is another rough track for me. Does anyone else seem to get punted by the AI there a lot?

 

Does anyone have a sim comparison of F355 to TOCA(pro race driver)?

 

the 24 Hours of LeMans is also a good game. The graphics are more Dreamcast like but the physics of the game is definitely in check
