    Is it just me or..

    Are racing games starting to get a bit too realistic? asin, the cars are alot harder to control around corners and if you go off the track it takes ages to get back on again D: Ive been playing Forza 2 and its just unbelievably hard to control.

    Put the difficulty down/turn driving aids on?

    I found Forza became much, much easier just by turning on the braking zone indicators.

    Too realistic?! Well personally I would actually like to play a racing game that has some sense of realism.

    If its too hard to play at that level turn the driving aids on or up.

    Forza 3 with everything off bar shifting with a clutch = win.

    Re: Is it just me or..

    Racing games are all accessible to all levels of ability, not really understanding this thread. Traction control, abs, racing lines with colour code break accelerate areas. All options in modern racing games amongst others.
    The thing they need to do in most of the console games is stop the AI drivers driving like you don't exist on the track.

    If you think forza is hard, try live for speed :> realism is the key to racing games imo, apart from burnout, that's pure fun!

    Re: Is it just me or..

    Yeah but when they are at that level of realism I just dont have fun anymore D:

    For example with NFS pro street I had hours of fun. On forza 2 Its just horrible :|

    Re: Is it just me or..

    Personally i loved GRID, that really was the sweet spot for me, enough realism to be taken seriously while still remaining fun to play. Recently however, Dirt 2 was utter trash in comparison. The raid events and most of the 4x4 tracks were horrible, a real pig to control, and from my point of view totally unrealistic. You give them a bit of welly and then they propel themselves at speed on some tangent at the slightest turn of the wheel. Even more shocking that the game has no weather effects yet it handles like your driving on ice in the middle of the desert. Really very disappointing.

    Yes harder to control, but not realistic.

    Re: Is it just me or..

    PGR3/4 ? For me these are the best arcade racing games that use 'real cars' and it offers decent feedback without being too much like Forza. Other than that i suppose theres Wipeout and TrackMania.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Try Mario Kart or Zero Gears (free on Steam at the moment) if you want to step away from realism.
