Seeking, a sreet racing sim something like Need for Speed...

Any sims similar to need for speed where I can be chased by cops, race other cars (Preferably American Hotrods) through U.S. city streets? I dont want Motorcity Online because you cant play offline.

Midtown Madness 2, but its driving model needs a lot of improvement. You can also try Driver, though those are not hotrods and the cops are NUTS. --KC

IMO, GTA3 PC might be somewhat along the lines of what you're looking for too. Though the focus is less on driving as it is outright violence, it's got a good driving model, at least in the PS2 version. You can't do as much chasing of other cars per se (there are one or two missions you can do along the plotline that do involve racing) but blow up enough stuff and you can get cops, SWAT vans, helicopters, the FBI, or even the Army chasing you down...great stress reliever. ;) Milhouse "Kasey Chang (remove EATSPAM to reply)" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:OMZE8.28$[email hidden]...

It's just the jewelcase version of the game... No difference at all from the original. The cockpit is mainly useless any way as the best driving is done from the 3rd person view (really). --KC

Driver (on the PS anyway) has a cockpit view, but there's no cockpit actually shown, so I guess it's sort of a "sitting in an invisible car's driver seat" view. Really good fun. I only wish that Driver 2 had the same police AI as the first one did. They're rather suicidal in the second version. It's pretty cool to be able to get out of the car and carjack somebody though :-) Todd Wasson --- Performance Simulations Drag Racing and Top Speed Prediction Software http://PerformanceSimulations.Com My little car sim screenshots: http://performancesimulations.com/scnshot4.htm

You can "weave" through traffic better that way. The lanes in Driver are pretty wide and often you can straddle a lane and squeeze through two cars stopped at the traffic light, for example. There IS a cockpit view, but it's basically the "hood cam" with a cockpit overlay, so you end up seeing LESS of the road. You don't see things like steering wheel, center console, speedometer, or things like that. --KC

It doesn't matter how many other cars they take out... Just as long as they get you! And it seems the entire police force is out to get you at times... During a single run you can see DOZENS of police cars... EVEN as you leave them flipped and wrecked in your exhaust. It's then you realized that this game just respawn those cops. :-P There's also some weird physics bugs in the game... http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/ksc1/driver01.htm --KC
