NFS
Actually IMHO, I think that SCGT is by far the closest thing on the PC to
GT3. There are numerous cars in the standard game, not to mention 100 +
addon cars out there at various sites. The stock physics are a bit less
demanding than GT3's , but you can tweak the physics models variables for
any given car, and thereby achieve far more realistic physics, more
comparable to the better sims. SCGT and GT3 have been dominating most of my
playing time over the last 2 weeks, they are soo good. N4 has no doubt the
best physics model of any sim, but oval courses just are not that compelling
for me. Once I am into an oval course race it can be a blast, but somehow I
do not seem to get back to racing N4 or Nascar heat that often, compared to
my other sims. It's like watching an old Bogart movie, if there is nothing
else on TV at 4 A.M. I can really get into and enjoy Casablanca, but I would
hardly go looking for it after the fact.
