Just got Need For Speed Hot Pursuit II. what an awesome game! I think it gives GT3 a run for its money. It beats Test Drive hands down, IMO (was kinda dissapointed with the overwhelmingly arcadish feel oin TD.) This one isn't totally free of an arcade feel but you can set it to "classic" or "extreme" handling. In Extreme mode the physics are a little more realistic upping the difficulty level and you can push the performance to the max more. Evading the cops is actually fun for a change in a driving game of this type. Now you get more of a feel of the pressure like in the Driver series. I've done reverse 180's and such avoiding the cops, leaving skid marks all over the road.
Anyways...It's still not everything I want in a driving game. Until they combine the speed, physics and licensed vehicles of NFS with the driving physics, insane crashes, and damage models of the Driver series...the perfect driving game has yet to be made. For now, as long as I own both, it's the next best thing. Can't wait for Driver 3, by the way.
What's everyone elses favorite driving/racing games?
