Tom's Hardware Steam Giveaway - Dirt 4

[Ascorbate]

Colin McRae Rally 2.0, I remember when I was a sophomore student at college and playing this game with my friends in a PSone on a 14 inch TV. So much fun.

 

[Alexander_69]

GRID & NFS Most Wanted for sure.

 

[KC5VDJ]

Definitely DiRT Rally!! I guess that would be followed by the F1 series, and also Sebastian Loeb Rally EVO. DiRT Rally definitely would be my favorite though.

My favorite racing game has got to be Need for Speed Underground 2.

 

[ultraglorious]

Rallisport Challenge 2!

 

[nimbifer]

Need for Speed Most Wanted.... the old one

 

[Aeacus]

My favorite racing game would be: Need For Speed: High Stakes / Road Challenge (1999).

While i also love Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit, the NFS4 has several improvements that i love. E.g career system with car upgrades and money management; visual and physical damage for cars that do impact car's performance; improved police pursuits (in NFS3, when setting up roadblock AI cars avoided colliding with cop car and most of the time, they ran over spike strips, while in NFS4, it's vice-versa. Also the spike strips length is about half than it was in NFS3).

But what i love the most about NFS4 (and older NFS series games) is that you only had your own skill to be the 1st over the finish line. Nowadays, most racing games have some sort of power-up to help the player out. In most cases, it's Nitrous.

My favorite racing game would be: Need For Speed: Rivals.

I've always been a fan of the Need For Speed series. It all started in the PS1 era, Need For Speed 4: High Stakes.

Other than that, it would be Dirt & Gran Turismo I guess.

Need for Speed - Most Wanted 2005

 

[gergguy]

It's probably not the best racing sim but it's the one I played the most back in the day - GTR

 

[panathas]

My two favorite racing games are from the Need for Speed series. It's the NFS: Most Wanted (2005) and the NFS: Underground 2 (2004) but if I must choose one I'd go with the Most Wanted.

Grand Prix 2

 

[landofpeanuts]

Beetle Adventure Racing on Nintendo 64

 

[jpe1701]

Definitely Mario kart because it was the only game my brother and I could spend hours playing and not get bored because you could shoot stuff at eachother.

 

[William Henrickson]

Gran Turismo 2, so many cars, and ways to customize. The 1000HP GT-R was so fun to slide around!

 

[Stephen-M]

My favorite racing game was Acclaims Re-Volt from 1999. It was an arcade type game. Me and my brother played it for hours. We even made our own tracks.

My next favorite racing game was Star Wars Episode 1: Racer. The whole family played that one.

I like simulators (played several flight simulators and America's Army), but I've never found a racing simulator I liked. I've demoed several racing games on consoles over the years at computer stores but didn't enjoy them enough to want to buy a console for one game.

I've also never bought a console because of the visual triangles, even when they get tiny. If it doesn't run on a PC with a good video card, it's not a serious game.

 

[AxeRunner]

Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed

 

[Henry Cortes]

I'm going to have to go with Crash Team Racing. That's probably my most played game as a kid. I would always play it with my siblings whenever possible.

 

[Pirouetteandco]

My favorite racing game is probably Grid 2.

 

[Moutro]

Gran Turismo 2! Good ol' PS1 days.

 

[jlafount]

Need for Speed Most Wanted

 

[Kasper Jorgensen]

Forza Horizon 3

 

[stijn0071]

wrc rally

 

[Dom_79]

When I was young and first getting into playing computers I like a game called Stunts (old DOS game).

I got older, tech progressed and I was playing Cruisin' USA as often as my spending cash from one of several part-time jobs would allow and a rally game that I just can't remember the name of.

Then, since we aren't talking strictly PC gaming, I got into Gran Turismo. Loved that series until number 5 (no offense Johnny 😉 ).

Lately I've played some DiRT3 complete Edition... Gymkhana Have followed Project Cars (number 2 is coming soon, right?) and Assetto Corsa. Both have their pros and cons. For me the cons outweigh the pros in both so I pass.

Hopefully DiRT4 will be awesome and even if I don't win a copy I'll buy it so I can use my Fallout4/Driving Simulator rig I've built myself for something other than Fallout and Eurotruck Simulator 2 (also not a bad driving game)

My favorite racing game... a difficult decision, but I honestly have not has as much fun as trying to master Dirt Rally in a LONG time.
