I am looking for a good game to "drive around", without the emphasis on the
"racing" factor (like in the Colin McRae) - just to drive around a city
(like a taxi driver) or a road (like in the classic "Test Driver" series).
Just a sheer pleasure of driving (with a force feedback steering wheel and
pedals). All suggestions are welcome.
greetings,

World Racing 1 and World Racing 2 let you drive a car anywhere on complete
3d lanscapes.

I second that, World Racing is great for driving around aimlessly,
discovering things, throwing expensive cars off of mountains etc. Though the
main game is fun as well. Physics and force-feedback are quite enjoyable.
Where is World Racing 2 BTW? It's long overdue, can't find it anywhere in
shops in the Netherlands.
Vice City is great for driving around and exploring, the 80's atmosphere is
awesome. It's great to just hijack any car or bike you fancy and then drive
it around at high speeds until it's completely wrecked. No force-feedback
though and the physics aren't that great.
Driv3r can be fun as well if you just want to drive around exploring the
city.
For more mindless fun, at insane speeds, mass destruction and great
force-feedback, see if you can find Rollcage 1 or 2. What a feeling, when
you're driving on the ceiling.
I ordered my copy from computeruniverse online store in Germany. WR2 is
supposed to be released within a couple of months. I finished the game,
some sample videos:

Thanks for the information!
And thanks for the videos, the game looks great, as expected. Very nice
sense of scale in the city level, the buildings look huge.
The most impressive aspect of the game still is that you can just drive
anywhere around the scenery, that's really amazing.

The physics in San Andreas are a big improvement over VC, however it's still
not too realistic (and I don't think you get FF). You also don't get a
manual gearbox.
