Arcade or Sim?

I always want to like sim racers (PGR3, Forza 2) but every time I try them, I just can't get into them. I'm leaning on the arcade side now (Excite Truck, Mario Kart, Burnout Revenge, etc), so lets hope Dirt is fun, since Forza 2 left me snoring ;) (Refering to each's respective demos)

Burnout 3 and Burnout: Revenge are the only racers I'll need in the foreseeable future.

Finally got a chance to play DiRT... It seems like a nice mix of sim and arcade, and I like it much more than the Forza demo ;) I'll probably rent it at least.

Ive been enjoying Project Gotham Racing 3 lately, but in the past Ive enjoyed the Burnout series. I think I am more of a sim racer now because Ive gotten much better at judging stopping distance and how much the cars can take.

Babelfish Translation: I am not the girl because you are small a cake.
First time I've been insulted with the word cake...

Anyway, I prefer sims. The more hardcore, the better. That's why people call me weird when I say GTR2 on the PC is one of the best racing games ever made.

This is how I see PGR3. It's a sim, but you have to play it like an arcade game. The game has great physics, but the game makes you drift and fent to complete objectives.

It means small cake or cookie. But the rest is correct.

I like all kinds of racing games.  But in the end, I'm more of a sim kind of guy.  Not a hardcore sim, but sim enough that you actually have to know what you're doing to win a race :)

I like arcade style racing games. I always try to get into the sim type games like forza but it's just not fun. My fav racing game was prolly underground 2 which is arcade so yeah.
