On PC
I played with
"DRIVER, you are the wheelman".
Release Date:  Oct 15, 1999  
http://www.racesimcentral.net/

I liked it very much.
I do not have access to Playstation, Xbox...

Is there any better PC game of this kind?

Driver is a joke, lousy AI, square blocks, the only it's got
going for it is adrenaline. Trust me, I wrote the FAQ for it.

Try Midtown Madness for cities, but no cops (or none that's
any significant).

The car handling is loads of fun though in Driver.  That's the one thing
missing from MM and GTA.

Look at the SECOND set of pictures. You'll ROTFL for sure.

I didn't say it was accurate - just fun.  Overall GTA is a better (if
somewhat overrated) game though...

Quarantine is released 1993? Too old for me.

So there are only two suggestions:
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Midtown Madness for cities

Mafia and Simpsons Hit and Run blow both of those away. =)

I liked Mafia A LOT.  I don't know if I'd put it ahead of VC.  I liked
them for different reasons.  But I wound up being too bored to
complete either one.

I'd love it if the race track from Mafia could be translated to
NR2003.

I haven't played any of the Simpsons games.

> Mafia

Forgot all about that one.

I never bothered to go through the missions, but the free ride was very
immersive and enjoyable.

The missions and the story/writing in particular are superb in Mafia,
one of the best-written video games IMO. I was actually disappointed
when it was over, like when you finish a good book.
