Looking for a game like GT, but for 360

Symbiotic · 04-27-2009, 01:37 PM

I'm looking for a game that plays like Grand Turismo, but for XBox 360.

What I mean is something where you have to buy your new cars, and you can upgrade your cars with new parts. PGR4 gets kind of stale as you can't do anything new with the cars you do have. I want something with a real "career" feel. Any suggestions? GT has to be the best racer in gaming history, IMO.

Forza 2?

Best racer in my book.....

YMMV. *shrug*

Forza 2 is about as good as you'll find for xbox. The downloadable stuff from xbox live is pretty cool....

It's probably not as good as the GT series, but it's all you get for xbox.

You could probably buy Forza 2 for less than a rental.

Just don't get preped for an awesome ending...there isn't one...however, the selection of cars is halfway decent, made better through downloads.

That ending was possibly the most under-whelming experience I've ever had while playing a video game.

i can't see any ending being worse that Assassins Creed...and there's PGR4 that doesn't really have an ending

Meh. I really don't see how a game could end any worse than Forza 2. Especially after the 100+ hours of game play.

that's highly unlikely here...a rental is about $7, but i can't find any 360 games used for less than about $30...as a general rule, a used game is only $10 less than the brand new one...seriously...and for that reason, i don't even bother with used games...i'd rather pay an extra $10 for brand new...maybe it's a Canadian thing...we get screwed a lot up here

original xbox games are another story; those i can find for less than the $7 rental, but never 360 games

thanks for that link...i didn't know about that site...i usually just check eBay itself, and that's not much better than stores for games(at least what i've seen)

half.com is owned by e-bay, and is almost always better on prices than buying in the store for video games. Not sure about shipping to Canada and all, though.
