A look at some great driving games

There are several ways you can buy a car whether it’s from a retailer or contract hire. The same goes for ways in which driving games are made, whether they are realistic, pc based, console based or just there for a laugh what is the best driving game out there?

The main one that pops into my head is most certainly not what you would normally expect to see in a driving game. Easily the most unrealistic driving game ever made. Got to be in the top three of all time and not just my personal opinion, its Mario Kart. Gaming is not about realism it is about how much fun you have when playing the game and Mario Kart is a great example of this. It is a great game with many karts, bikes and items to choose from. Nothing in all my years of playing games is more satisfying on a driving game than to see someone get blown up by a cartoon bomb or struck by lightening.

Forza 2 is a brilliant driving game on the Xbox 360. This game is brilliant as it not only looks very realistic you can play it online as well as choose every single part of the car from the paint to the engine. You have to stop and make repairs at the pit stop from the realistic damage you get from the crashes you may suffer. Ranging from the bottom end of the Golf GT right the way up to the Lotus Elise this game has so many cars to choose from. The handling feels like it would when you are driving these fantastic cars as well. For example if you are going to go at 100mph round a corner then yoou have to expect the consequences just as you would in reality.

The Grand Turismo series looks pretty amazing. They have always been known for their abilty to show realistic gameplay and number five certainly does not steer from this. The game truly represents the cars in the form you would see them in reality.

The same is true in real life. You can get great cars at quite a low cost. You can get car contracting on pretty much any model nowadays ranging from mini’s right the way to Mercedes contract hire. They really are a great way to beat the downturn with prices under £300 a month you cant really go wrong.

Games have every car you could possibly wish for but nowadays new cars are just too expensive.
