Venting road rage

Is Midtown Madness series the only good thing out there for driving like a nut on realistic streets? GTA3 for PC coming out? I'd love to ram the side of that damn chicks car who was on a cell phone not paying a damb bit of attention to driving at all and watch the bitch go up in a ball of fire!!! I need to vent some road rage now and then and could use a good sim to do so with.

I can't believe no one's created a traffic sim that lets you do this sort of stuff. They could have it where you could carry a gun, maybe some grenades you could toss in the back window of another driver. There could be missions: * Intercept OJ * Piss off Jack Nicholson (and his 9 iron) * Romp thru the Hood * run from the LAPD on the 405 * Oncoming Brights and a Rocket Launcher. * Ram the old slow drivers - extra points if you can knock their eyeglasses off etc

Driver is a fairly decent game like this - not nearly as good as the Midtown games but a decent diversion. It's more mission orientent and not nearly as varied as MM. Wal-Mart has it in their bargain software.

eyeglasses > off > > etc Dude. You just described GTA 3 minus the gang warfare and with real-life specifics...well, the brights aren't there, but you'd better believe the rocket launcher is!!!! It's one AWESOME game. If GTA3 PC supports multiplayer, I just might have to get my hands on a copy, despite having GTA3 PS2 since the release date... =) Stuff you can do: *Drive-bys with Uzis - it's great to see what other drivers do once you look over and start unloading, they just start driving like idiots and half the fun is chasing them down to finish them off *Mass pedestrian slaughter - take your pick, via fistfight, baseball bat, pistols, Uzis, AK47, sniper rifle, grenades, molotovs, rocket launcher *Vehicular combat - running into stuff makes stuff get damaged / injured / blown up, etc *Piss off the authorities - cops, CIA, Army *Vigilante mode - take the law into your own hands *A lot more... If you've ever played GTA2 and Driver, GTA3 seems to me to be the best fusion between the two. At least as good, if not better, physics than Driver, along with the outright violence of GTA2, and a real storyline with a lot of nice cutscenes. The perfect way to unravel some road rage, IMO. Just fire up the PS2 and let the death begin... Milhouse

Does GTA3 have as interactive an environment as Midtown Madness2 i.e. can you run over light poles, smash mailboxes, chew up grass, crash into buildings, etc.? Milhouse wrote:

Definitely yes on the first two (tho it helps to have a heavier vehicle to run through/over light poles) and while you can run through grass, I don't think you can actually 'tear it up'...and the only buildings you can crash through are the ones with big glass windows.... Small things, really, that'll probably be there in GTA4. Or maybe even GTA3PC. Milhouse

Until GTA3 comes out, try Carmageddon 2. I know it's an old game but you can wreck stuff and you can also run over pedestrians, turning them into a bloody mass of digital carnage. I've seen this game at EB and Software Etc. for $6. John Capriotti wrote:

I remember catching one pedestrian on my fron left wing and driving along a wall. It left this huge red streak down the wall. I called it the human pencil. LOL On Sat, 19 Jan 2002 13:28:50 -0800, Marc LaPalme <[email hidden]> wrote:

I used to play Carmageddon2 constantly it was brilliant at the time. I remember hitting a canadian mountie and then I stopped for some reason (probably supping tea) and I hear this 'ow! Ow! Ow!' constantly. I wondered what the hell? Then I looked a bit closer and there wasa mountie hopping on one leg, his bloody stump dripping and he was moaning 'ow ow ow' it was funny as hell. It's little details like that that make a game brilliant. Also when you run over people sometimes you can feel the wheels slip on the blood and you end up wheel spinning someone into mush, leaving bloody tire marks everywhere! Great!!!! Can't wait for GTA3 on the PC, gonna pre-order it soon, yay! -- Little Nemo

I thought Carmageddon TDR 2000 (Carmageddon 3 really) was great. Great amount of detail in the cities, great car models. Lots of carnage and neat car damage. -Dan Marc LaPalme <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<[email hidden]>... > Until GTA3 comes out, try Carmageddon 2.

Yes, and more. It is the most interactive driving environment I've ever played in. You can even toss those grenades at those damn slow drivers! ;-)

Didn't think so. ;-)

What do you lot think about NASCAR 2002, is it much different to NASCAR 4? -- Little Nemo

Based on the demo, IMHO NR2002 is basically an expansion pack to N4. If its full boat price, I won't be getting NR2002. > What do you lot think about NASCAR 2002, is it much different to NASCAR 4? >
