What's the best driving game for the PS2...

and would you advise buying a steering wheel or are they no good? Thinking about Chjristmas pressies. Ta </p>

 

I'm a huge fan of the burnout series

Mix between racing and crashing - it's good fun, and anybody can play. But if it's simply racing you're after there will be better options.

Can't comment on a steering wheel, haven't used one.

 

Gran Turismo 4

a bit old now but still the best and there'll be no more versions on this platform. Realsim is great and there is a huge choice of cars and ways of doing up cars realistically ie. with parts not spoilers and paint jobs.

I recommend the Williams F1 steering wheel which has a gearstick (push up or down) included which can be used as well as flappy paddles.

 

RE: steering wheels

they are really hard to use but are good fun

 

Gran Turismo 4 - don't bother with a steering wheel

The Gran Turismo game is awesome - the envy of other formats and the driving game of choice (as a simulation and for realism) for most PS2 users. The number of cars is incredible and the subtle differences are brilliant.</p>

Don't bother with a steering wheel though - they never give the satisfactory feedback that you're looking for the sensitivity is always wrong.</p>

 

Thanks for replies!
