What I wonder is the question I put on the subject line. The most important
things for me in such a game is that it shall look good, and it should be
fun to play. Of course, it's also very important that the "feeling" is good.
I don't like games where it feels more like you're sliding an object left
and right over the screen rather than driving a car. Capability to play over
Internet is not of interest, maybe over modem, but neither of them is really
important to me.

I have checked the NFS3 demo out, and it looks good and maybe it's a fun
game. But what I don't like at all is the way the car reacts when you try to
steer it. But maybe this is only a problem in the demo, and not in the real
game?

Well, please give me some hints on what to buy!

Thanks in advance!

Viper is the game you want I think. I looks quite good (not as good as
NFS3 tho) and has excellent handling in 3 different modes: arcade,
intermediate and sim. Check out the demo. Its great.

I just preordered my copy of Viper, Tribes and Halflife all for $75
from Sierra. You buy 2 games get the 3rd free. :)

How about the steering? In the demo, it doesn't feel very good I think.

It takes some time to memorize the tracks, but after that it's pure FUN.
4-wheel sliding, sweeping the corners, controlling the car with throttle...
Car behavior can be adjusted by setting up the car to your liking
(understeer/oversteer), although this is not necessary.

Oh, and one more thing: use steering wheel & pedals, NOT keyboard.

- A wise remark -

PS. I've NFS's look good, but the car physics don't have oversteer (sliding
the rear) at all.

Thanks!
