Forza Motorsport II (360):

Gran Turismo 5 (PS3):

Formula One: Championship Edition (PS3):

Offroad Racers:

Motor Storm (PS3):

DiRT (PC/360/PS3):

Excite Truck (Wii):

Street Racers:

Project Gotham 3/4 (360):

Need for Speed Carbon (All Systems):

'Extreme' Racers:

FlatOut:  Ultimate Carnage (360)

Burnout Paradise (360/PS3)

Future Flight Racer:  Fatal Inertia (360/PS3)

Motorcycle Racer:  MotoGP (360)

I agree. I like all racing games, but I don't think we have enough good 'party' racing games like Mariokart.

Ok, While console racers are cool, I've always been a fan of Trackmania for the PC. Here's some screens of the new Trackmania United.

That track looks crazy-fun, I may have to get back into PC games; do you know any other racers exclusive to the PC?

My favorite is Forza by far. On PC I remember Trackmania Nations being free, I downloaded it. It was kind of fun with your custom tracks and stuff, it was fun, but it was ther same plain tracks so it got old.

Trackmania Sunrise

TM2

And Trackmania Nations (Free!!!!!!!) download it online!  

 TM3

I'll have to give it a go; it's a shame there aren't as many good racers on the PC as there are on consoles.  But then again, there may not be as big of a fanbase when it comes to PC gamers, who knows.

You forgot car combat and kart racing - which are actually my favourite racing sub-genres.

I believe there is another Full Auto coming, and I don't know if it is in the genre, but Pursuit Force 2 should be fun.

Any chance for another Mario Kart?

This is the most amazing shot of Excite Truck I have seen...



Finally a pic that does the game at least SOME justice. The game is tons of fun and looks STUNNING in motion. Very underrated and underappreciated Wii launch title. Definitely.

Blah til Burnout, but most racing is not my thing. Future Flight Racer:  Fatal Inertia looks like a knock off of F-Zero.

Well those would always need improvement; I was referring to more racing types (i.e: Water Racers, Flight Racers, etc.)

A drag racing title would be really nice.  EA's Need for Speed:  Underground did a really nice job with the whole drag racing scene.

Forza 2's demo, what little it had, has me hooked.

Dirt looks fun, and I still love to play Cat and Mouse on PGR 3.

Heh, no that's just a category title, the game itself is 'Fatal Inertia.'  Sorry about that.  ^_^

You talked about realism of controls. And in that area(as well as overall racing sims and everything that has something to do with them) PCgaming is miles and leaps beyong console gaming.

mario Kart will always be my favorite racer.  MK64 is probably my most played game of all time.
