slightly off-topic, but I picked up Toca Race Driver 2 last night to feed my hunger while I wait for my online GT4 order to get here.
The game is absolutely fantastic. Extremely realistic damage modelling, some great physics and realism (especially on Pro-sim) and a light "story" mode of you being a young racer trying to prove himself and break into a factory team.
The tracks are great, they are all real. Nurburgring is in the game too, along with some other cool tracks like Road America, Texas World Speedway, and just about every European track that we see on the european touring car series like Donninton and Brands Hatch.
There is a lot of variety in the racing too, everything from Formula Fords to Prototypes to Supertrucks, ice racing and rally. The rally model is splendid, best rally game Ive played, even better than WRC.
oh, and it has online racing and works with my PC logitech wheel.
Its only $30, and well worth picking it up if you can tear yourself away from GT4. I think you will find it compares quite favorably, well if you can get over the fact that you cant race a 1985 volvo station wagon in it......
