It reminds me of NFS Underground. Good ol racing game. Never play any racing games for so long already.. Any good racing available now?
The recent good racing games are Grid Autosport, Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed and Gas Guzzlers.
Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed is literally the PC version of mario kart, except it has some intelligent twist on kart racing, instead of having just cars, your vehicle will also transform into a boat or a plane at certain parts of the track. Also, the tracks also transformed where a track that is based on Sky of Arcadia will start as a road track, then, turn into water track and the final lap, you have to fly in the air which is pretty cool Most tracks in the transform in some ways to the other. The driving wise, it is very arcadish but you need to gamepad to play properly. Easy to learn but hard to master sort of game. It also offers 4 players split screen racing on one PC. I do highly recommend this game.
Grid Autosport is pretty good too. It is more on the authentic side of racing where it is based some numerous real life racing leagues while it has a fairly authentic but easy to learn driving physics. The career is a bit lean in content but it still decent fun if all you care is racing. Great car list and also great track list which made it the largest grid game ever released so far with improved business model. It can be a bit hard to learn as it is much more harder to drive than Grid 1 but once you get it, it is pretty damn satisfying. The only problem is the AI which can be very aggressive sometimes. I do highly recommend it.
Gas Guzzlers Extreme is quite fun too, it is sort of mad max sort of weaponised racing game where cars have massive guns strapped on it where you can kill your opponents. The driving physcis is alright, but the chaos in each race made it pretty damn fun. It is also an easy to learn game while it is decently meaty for the price you pay.
The rest, like Assetto Corsa or Grid 2, I wont recommend them at all. AC has business model issue where they had announced 2 DLCs, one preorder/ early access content and one post release content even though the game isnt finished yet. At the same time, the game looked like GT5 from PS3 which is ridiculous for a 2014 game while drives like crap if you do not have a RM600 racing wheel. Gamepad support is still nonexistent till now. AI's dreadful and even the damn menu is coded as a separate program where it relaunches when you start or quit a race. Grid 2 is kinda being overshadowed by Autosport, so better get Autosport instead, unless you like drift heavy physics.
