Well I do actually. But there are enough sim racers out there....there aren't enough super fast paced space hover combat racers with electronic soundtrack :(

Excite Truck is really fun. But I would agree with Mario Kart 7.

Not a big fan of the racing genre, but I did enjoy Codemasters games like GRID and Dirt a lot...

I've had the most fun with Dirt and Forza. But Burnout on the PS2/Xbox where some of my favorite games.

Project CARS. The Alpha build alone is better than any other racing sim I've played.

I only own one racing game and have only played 3 from this gen. I got Motorstorm free with my first PS3 and it wasn't bad, but it was lacking. I bought Burnout Paradise and hated it. The racing game that I currently own and love a lot is Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.

I'm partial to motorstorm. Nothing like arcade mayhem.

Burnout takedown is the absolute champ though. A cent off of perfect.

Yep. Bought by Activision and then shutdown. Rest in peace, Bizarre. Though, rumor has it Turn 10 is working on the series, but they have Forza to manage. Should be interesting to see how that turns out.

Gotta go with Forza. PGR 4 would have been great, but there was virtually no online community, possibly because PGR 3 was a major step backwards compared to PGR 2.

How can anyone even vote dirt? Pathetic attempt at a rally game with ken block challenges thrown all over and tons of dlc. WRC2 beyond the terrible presentation was probably the most faithful representation of rallying this gen anyway.

I voted for Forza, though the default settings make the game far too easy IMO. I just turn the difficulty to hard and disable some assists...

Ironbash

I voted it, and I have my reasons...

I rarely play racing games, and when I do, I pick the easier difficulties, and drive around for some relaxation.

Dirt did that great, it was very accessible and not punishing thanks to many difficulty options, had solid controls and driving model, and also had beautiful visuals and enviroments to race through. All that makes it a winner for me.

Controls and graphics? Are you kidding me? There were very few locations, less than those in dirt 2, very few selections of cars and the most simple tuning options, if at all. Furthermore the driving model was nowhere near what its actually like. I can't take you seriously after you said you want to relax, which means you simply choose your preference, and not the actual best series (PGR if it came out for PC).

Best is completely subjective though, so wouldn't his best be his preference? :?
