GT3 was disappointing in that many of the things that made GT2 such a remarkable improvement over GT1 (which I though would be impossible to do) was removed from GT3. GT4 brought much of it back but eliminated the ability to build street cars into full blown race cars, GT4 always keeps a line drawn between full blown race cars and highly modified street cars which I found arbitrary and frustrating. Overall, GT4 is still the best of the first four.

I haven't tried GT5 yet but I suspect I will soon.

i'm currently trying to get all golds in the b-license challenges. this is so effing hard. i might just get all silvers and call it good and then go back to making money on races until my skills improve and come back to it.

trying for gold on the 3 corners b-license challenge is one of the most frustrating videogame experiences in my memory. i must have tried and failed this a hundred times now. but i can't give up, because i've tried it a hundred times and what a waste of time that would be if i just never got it.

GT2 is my favourite because of its vast car database - in particular the fact that it has 3 different types of Lancia Delta is why it is my favourite...

A couple of friends and I did something similar during the soccer world cup 2 yrs ago and the months that followed. But we had 3 trophies.

The Golden Boner ( The biggest bone I could get at a local butcher that I painted gold)
Blue balls ( 2 flashing bouncy balls painted blue, put inside a blue wine glass turned upside down and blue whistle glued on top)
and The Soiled cup ( Some really disgusting old plastic wine glass that one guy had)

We played alot of the Fifa world cup game that year.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

but my fav racing games are mariokart: double dash and burnout 3
For what comes to mind right now, mine would have to be F-Zero GX, NFS2:Hot Pursuit, and Excite Truck.
F-Zero GX is possibly the greatest racing game in my mind.
Mario Kart DS is my second favorite
Nice choices~ :) MKDS would be higher on my list but I was severely bummed out on the online play (snaking debate don't ensue plzkthx).
I enjoy GX so much that when I moved to Japan, I needed an F-Zero fix so bad that I bought a Japanese copy despite owning a US one and not wanting to wait until my next trip back home and getting it from the good ol' storage unit. :roll:
