RaceDepartment ask our readers to list their all time favourite top five console racing games...
Console racing often gets overlooked by gamers who consider PC racing offerings as more of a "serious" alternative, however looking back over the years consoles have produced some of the finest racing experiences ever developed, with everything from road, race, rally, off road and rocket ships taking centre stage at one time or another.
From the massive car collection heaven that is both Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo, the serious sim that was Race07 and some sublime simcade customisation and street racing games from the Need for Speed series, plus many others, console race fans have actually been rather spoilt for choice over the years when it comes to getting track and stage thrills.
So the question we would like to ask you all is simple yet incredibly hard....
What are your all time favourite top 5 racing games for console?
Feel free to include console / PC duel release titles, and don't forget the more arcade end of the spectrum too.. this is a question regarding what you think was the best and most fun games to play, not necessarily which were the most realistic or technically advanced.
The list we want you to compile has no time limit, so you can go as far back as the early 80's or right up to the present day, the choice is completely your own!
Looking forward to hearing what we all come up with on this one....
