ConnectedConsoles: The original DiRT was something to be proud of. Now comes along a sequel that oozes excitement from the word go. Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is something special.Many things are different in the sequel; the main menu is a full screen animated world in which you walk around your very own trailer. Your time in your very own cesspit will bring you different experiences. First of all though, you give your details and even pick a nickname for yourself, which you'll be called throughout your Xtreme Offroad Racing experience (McLovin is a pretty slick nickname). As you progress through your career, you will unlock new destinations such as London, California and Tokyo which are all presented extremely well. You will also have a huge range of cars including buggies, rally cars and giant 4x4's to get through as you'll earn big money if you win a few races.

ASidCast: "There are times when you’ve got a lot of free time and very few games that you’d wanna play. This is a list of great games that one must play regardless of how old they get, and not playing these would just be a sin for racing fans. Most of these games revolutionized their genre and probably created their own genre in the process, while some were just too advanced for their time. If in any case you missed these, then you better search for these games and play them for a fun dose of gaming history or as a new experience entirely. "
Bad list, but to each their own.
No Forza Horizon, Driveclub, Assetto Corsa, or Grid Autosport?
And if you can throw in Trials when its not a racing game, why is there no Rocket League?
Bought Grid 1 on pc for 2.50 last week, playing that at 4k60fps will make you feel nuts for ever spending 100's on racing games.
@nowitski2004: I chose Project CARS over Assetto Corsa as a personal opinion,and Grid 1 over Autosport because the first one was great 'for it's time', autosport was good but just not that great.
Rocket League would actually be the next game if could make a longer list,really sorry on that.
@C-H-E-F: Juiced and SRS,are you serious? These are the games that defines the genre?
Hot Pursuit 2010 was Burnout Paradise with licensed carswith cops and wasn't even a better game world.
Crazy Taxi wins on the mobile platform,there are very few racing games on mobile with a open world. And the few there are,arent as good as Crazy Taxi. And racing against the clock makes does it a racing game.
