Need for Speed pre-2006, Grid 2, Forza Horizon, Burnout series.

 

Lots of Customisation: NFS Underground 2, hands down.

Well i play grid and i like the layout of the races but i don't like the lack of customizability. And i find the NFS games a bit too unrealistic, not to say grid is. Has anyone played Grid 2?

Yeah I got Grid 2 now and I love the actual racing, but the lack of customisation / tuning is what's holding it back from being great, oh and cockpit view

GRID is by far one of the best racing games ever. GRID2 really disappointing for a true fan of the first release.

It will also depend if you prefer simulators or arcade games. For arcade I would recommend the Dirt series from Codemaster. For sims I would recommend Richard Burns Rally, but it is really old, with crappy graphics for today standards.
