Can any of you gents recommend a good title?

Just something simple, switch on and play without all the fuss. I am thinking back to the early days games like Driver, Vroom, Destruction Derby etc.

Cheers

NFS Hot Pursuit is quite fun. It can take 5 mins to get into the first even, but thereafter it's just one 'easy to follow' event after another.

Dirt 3 is fantastic. Lots of fun event types, short multi stage rallies and x-over etc. Like an old McCrae game but with only 1-2 stages per rally and not 6.

Both can be had for like, 5-10 quid each.

Cheers Matt

Dirt 3 sounds like fun, especially if it is like the old McCrae games as I really enjoyed playing them, cool thanks.

I used to love Destruction Derby on my mates PS years ago, I fear it wouldn't have the same appeal these days. Can't beat NFS for instant thrills though.

Will you be playing online?

One of my favourite online game is frontlines - fuel of war. Graphics not great but good fun blaster.

As much as GT5 has frustrated me and it seems like you need a wheel in the harder challenges but it has so much to it.

You have arcade mode for a quick race, which I think I've done once.

GT mode which has:

A-spec: Your career, 7 levels with 9 events of races in each level.

B-spec: Same races as A-spec but you build up an AI driver (was boring at first but I've got in to it).

Special Events: Go Kart, Top Gear, NASCAR, Mercedes, Rally, Gran Tour, another Rally.

Seasonal Events: Online A and B spec events, lots of money and XP.

New car dealers

Used car showroom

Online car showroom

Service shop

Tuning shop

Plus a couple of other features and DLC packs available.

A must own if you own a PS3 and are into cars imo.

Forza 4. there is no better racing game. If you want fast access you can go into the quick race section.

Another one for Forza 4, it's just awesome, plus they are constantly adding new cars, my favourite being the Audi R18.....giggidy, want one

[RagingKileak]

I had discounted Forza, but you guys are right it DOES have quick play potential.

And is without doubt so much better than GT5. Which for some unfathomable reason has pathetic damage and doesn't encourage skilful driving

[KadeSdad]

Thanks guys, got a copy of Dirt 3 this morning from Game. Will also be on Ebay for Forza 4 later today

[RagingKileak]

Cheers, but just looked online its £24.95 with free p&p but sold out. Amazon is £27 with free p+p which is good for a new copy I guess.

If you want a cheap intro to Forza. Forza 3 has 95% of Forza 4.

PS there is now a 2 gb update for GT5 called 'v2.0' and it is much better than it was.
