Default Best Racing Sim for the Original XBox - 05-02-2007 , 05:40 PM






Hi,

I'm wondering what you think the best racing sim for the original xbox
is? My personal favourite is Toca Race Driver 3 (also called V8
Supercars 3 and a host of other names). I recently picked up Forza
pretty cheap and am currently looking for a copy of Colin Mcrae 2005.
I haven't played Forza yet because I'm still really enjoying TRD3.

Why do I play on the Xbox, I hear you ask? A few years ago I bought a
nice TV and thought it was more logical to be playing games on a nice
big TV rather than forking out thousands of dollars on a big computer
screen and upgraded computer. I also like the Xbox controller and the
force feedback. One day when the XB360 and PS3 prices tumble and
there's a XB whatever and a PS4 newly out, I'll probably update to a
newer console than I have now. Race Driver One sounds like it could be
quite good, as does Colin Mcrae Dirt.

Hope I haven't offended the hard core PC Sim racers. I have a copy of
GPL (Grand Prix Legends) at home on my PC, so I'll check out all the
updates for it one day. That's, when I get my PC working again - there
seems to be a problem with either the AGP slot or the graphics card at
the moment.

Regards,
Mr T.

Howdy, you can get Richard Burns Rally for the XBox 1, so you can't
get much better than that, especially if you're considering Colin
McRae
