Racing games for the 360, help?

I'm curious about buying a racing game for the 360, any recommendations?

Also, is it worth getting the steering wheel and pedals?

for all the racing game that are already released i recomend DiRT and for the ones that havent been released yet u should get Burnout Revenge (releases January 08)MIB911

Burnout Paradise you mean, Revenge has been out for like 2 years almost.

I love the PGR series. Forza's a little too "gear head" for me. As for pedals and a wheel, I've read they are really hard to play with out of the box. If you stick with them, though, apparently it's awesome.buzzguy

Yea, I'd go with PGR4 unless you're totally into the 'gearhead' thing. PGR4 is so much more fun in my books, smart gameplay, great looks and lots of content to boot. Addictive as hell too

I say Forza too, here's my review for reasons why:

Thanks, I'm leaning toward sticking with the standard controller anyway... Now, I just need to decide PGR or Forza!

Thanks guys I really appreciate the suggestions. Now what about the steering wheel though? Any of you all use it and is it worth the investment?? I've always used standard controllers for racing. manofsteal6

The racing wheel is ultrarealistic w/ Foza..but it also makes the game much much harder...But over time you'll get used to it and it's a much funner more complete experience. Patience is the key.

Hmm...I may try the wheel later, I think I may be able to borrow it from a friend for a while and give it a whirl. Thanks man...

Definitely Forza Motorsport 2 best and most realistic racing game out there. As for the wheel bundle it's too expensive and has some problems overheating and stuffcaliprojekt831

Yeah, I've just heard from someone else about the overheating too... but my friend is going to let me borrow it for a while when I get my game... which I think I'm going to get Forza after reading up on both quite a bit.....
