Realism in Games

[Stephen Bailey]

GTR, Now that is hard beyond belief.

It is when you try and run it on my Celeron!

Still though, it's a good example of what many racing games could be. It has the more fun and less realistic arcade mode and then the semi-pro and simulation sections for the the sim lovers. Although you are probably better off getting something like Need for Speed if you just want fun. Not that I've ever played the Need for Speed series...

arcade or simulation , the bottom line is that the game should be fun to play.some ppl find sims fun and some arcadey games as fun , depends on your prefrence

GTR, Now that is hard beyond belief.

Try Grand Prix Legends, harder older, and possibly still one of the best games around. It set the standard for physics in all racing games and few have come close.
