Best racing simulator, best arcade racer has to be mario kart

This. It is by far the most detailed racing simulator and yes, easily Mario Kart is the best arcade style racer. I have enjoyed GT1-3 but you can probably guess which I like more thus making it superior.

Mario Kart Wii is the best racing game. Easy answer.

You tried to trick me by putting Gran Turismo in the title, but it didn't work.

Gran Turismo is by far my favorite racing series. Oh, and Mario Kart 64 and DD are both better than MKWii. Just my opinion.



The best racing game ever, none out there like it, forget forza forget Grand turismo. The best is Need for Speed Underground 2. best ever. ever don't argue at all.

Pure entertainment, MKWii prolly kicks the shit out of any GT, simulation wise, since you didn't say consoles only, it's not the best either, graphics, not specifying consoles, so again, no, not really. Will I have GT5 though? Yeah, probably.

You hit the nail on the head. Mario Kart Wii >>> GT for fun and entertainment. I am going to pass on GT5. I have learned my lesson. I did not enjoy GT5P. If anything, I will finally break down and get my own Wii.

I don't have GT5P, but when I played the GT5 time trail demo, it played better than any other GT I've played before the PS3 era, so I have no problem picking it up. MKWii is pretty much the best racer this gen so far though, which is a scary thought.

Pfft, not even close. I bought GT3 on my PS2 thinking it would be gorgeous, fun and fast and wild!

It was gorgeous but not in a good, creative way... but all other things were missing. it was not fun, it was boring (in fact, it's the most boring game I've ever played). It was not fast, even with the top cars running at 300km/h. And it was not wild - driving my car at 20km/h (with traffic) to work looks much more wild than racing a rally course in GT.

All in all... it's a game that it's not really a game, imo. It's more like Flight Simulator... sooooo muuuuch fuuuun....NOT.

Best racer?? Mario Kart, Rumble Racing, MotorToon Racing, F-ZERO... anything that's more creative than "ultra realistic".

ay its time,it was the best u cud get and its a sim.



Yeah lets argue about peoples subjective answer to the OP's question. Seriously guys?

If you agree with the OP then fine enjoy your love fest in here, if you don't, then just don't bother wasting your time arguing, neither side will back down anyway.



Gran Turismo is a driving simulator. people who love CARS love GT and Forza series. they're realistic and is marketed for people who love to drive real cars. its hard to say which is best unless you add a criteria for comparison, IMO you really can't compare Mario Kart and GT.



Sim racers put me to sleep. But then I grew up on stuff from Sega, Namco and Nintendo. Sega Rally, Ridge Racer and F-Zero are what get my blood pumping.

Among my friends who are really *really* into sims though, Simbin (GTR/Race series) is king. They kinda look down on GT and Forza, too "casual console" for them.



best racing game? not even close. besides there's too many racing subgenres to call any game best racing title. plus what title can you call "the best of racing genre" - there's fun factor, AV factor etc.
plus there's the fact that Gran Turismo games still plague the same thing since GT1 on psx - lack of feel of speed. driving old mercedes at 80km/h feels exactly the same like driving porsche at 160km/h and both of them fell like driving a bicycle. plus there are other big problems with GT games. there's also the fact that while first GT games were the best simulators ON CONSOLES during psx eraand early ps2 years they were never nowhere near as realistic as pc sims.

to me:
best open world racing game - Burnout Paradise/Test Drive Unlimited
most realistic pc racing sim - iRacing.com
most realistic console racing sim - Race Pro
most fun console racing sim/arcade sim - Forza 3/Need for Speed Shift
best arcade racing game - Mario Kart Wii
