Other Racing Games?

Post by vegettoxp »

Hello there guys, I hope it's ok to ask this question, but I was wondering if you guys can recommend me other Racing Games that are close to Need For Speed titles. I am a BIG fan of Need For Speed and by far my best game was "Need For Speed Most Wanted." To this day, I still play that game. Carbon and Pro-Street were CRAP. And from what I have been reading about NFS: Undercover, can't say whole a lot about it. But I don't think EA needs to look at Movie titles to create NFS Games. So if you guys have any recommendation, Please share them with me. I want to try some other games too that are close to NFS Titles.

Any one last question, Are we gona see NFS: Undercover this year or next year?

P.S. Fusion! :D

GRID! All i can say, if you can afford the bloody thing. Oh, and it's like ten gigs, so make sure you got enough hard drive space.

Burnout Paradise is one of EA's better published games. Criterion really nailed this game. Also there is GRID, Colin McRae: DiRT (oldie but a goodie), and one other game I can't put my finger on...GTR Evolution or something like that.

Also Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is coming this year, so keep an eye on it.

Split/Second is coming 2010, so yeah... another one.

BUT...

If you liked MW the best (I did too), you should check out this game. It was released March 24, so it's new.

Wheelman. Starring Vin Diesel.

It's an action driving game where you play as Milo Burik voiced and based on Vin Diesel who is an undercover agent posing as a driver-for-hire to take down a Barcelona crime syndicate. You get chased by police as if it were an action film, get to kill enemies or members of certain syndicates, hijack vehicles, etc. There are a lot of intense scenes and explosions, there are constantly people shooting you. You get to do intense stunts such as jumping over ramps, flipping over, jumping out of your car to land on another one and hijack it if the other one is too damaged.

I will not reveal anymore details, but I have to warn you.

Wheelman is a hardcore arcade game. It barely has any realism, it's all action and intensity. If you're a hardcore sim racer, you'll be stunned by how unrealistic this is. But seeing as you liked MW, you'll probably like this too.

XD

Positive reviews:

Play.tm - 82/100
Game Informer - 8.5/10
That Gaming Site - 8.8/10
Push Square - 3/4
GamePro - 4/5 (not sure if they can be trusted)
*Few IGN user comments

GameSpot gave it a 6/10 praising it for its Hollywood film thrills but criticizing the lackluster on-foot gameplay.
IGN - 4.8/10.

Then again, it depends on your taste. Wheelman definitely is thrilling though.

Burnout Paradise will definitely keep you busy for a long time with it's great arcade style, massive open world, 400+ freeburn online challenges, and new DLC. Plus, it's got a new discounted price (at least where I live) where you can get it for $20 brand new.

Still it was a year old.... the only thing you do is find topics that are dead for almost a year or more and revive them?
Seriously for what? it's not like you got something very important and new to add to bump it.

I would say it's based on postcount.

Juiced 1&2 are both often overlooked. Not the best but still worth a pop. Both are dead cheap now as well.

A bit off topic, but does anyone actually like the NFS movie?
