As per title, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good, fun, not-so-realistic arcadey racer for me to sink my teeth into during the next few weeks. I'd prefer it to be on PS3 if possible, but I've got access to a PS2, Wii and Gamecube if need be.
I was thinking of getting Burnout Paradise but I watched a few reviews and heard there were issues with checking the map stopping the flow of the game and not being able to restart events, but I did love Burnout 2 & 3 in the past. I was also wondering about the Need for Speed games, but I have never played a single entry in that series so I wouldn't know where to start!
Disclaimer - I've played the Motorstorm games already and they were varying degrees of fun (with Apocalypse being my favourite), as well as WipEout HD Fury (my favourite racing game this gen, but I'm not really looking for another weapons-based game) and Ridge Racer 7 (great drifting fun, but the courses felt way too confined at times).
Thanks in advance for any input :)
