Hi!

Normally I never play racing games but at the moment I would like to play one. One that you can play online and has players. Not to hard to play (no simulation) and with full XBox 360 controller support.

Can you recommand a game?

Thank you! :3

Tought about that too.. But it's not on Steam. And I find that the items in Mario Kart ruins the skill part.

It does have online racing if I recall correctly. The first game was the one that didn't.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed isn't really a good racing.. those boats and planes stuffs and the short circuits make it pretty bad imo.

As you said - in your opinion. I pretty much enjoyed it, but I also only play it co-op with friends.

would be a cool game played with friends.. but still I find the circuits way too short, and it frustrated me a lot in the demo

Dirt 3 is pretty fun, and it's "newer" than other racing games I would recommend, just not sure how many plays it online.

As mentioned, Sonic and All Stars Racing is probably what you are looking for. Similar to that power up drift Mario Kart style if you liked that

Dirt 3 is my favorite racing game at the moment, kinda arcady but with a little bit of sim, you can adjust the difficulty that best suit you.

Are the dirt games easy to control? Not simulations or anything? Like I said I really never play these games, so I dont have a clue how they are. ^^

Thanks for recommanding Sonic and Sega All Stars but I didn't like it that much, when I tried it last weekend.

I find the dirt games fairly easy to play, but I used to play quite alot of racing games. Controller definitely gives better game feel and control over a keyboard and mouse. Always been a fan of PGR too, but they're a little far fetched in comparison with dirt.

dirt is good at realism

not like need for speed where you hold the gas to win, you spend a lot of time tapping brake to get your tires to spin around the turns

+1 on Dirt. Easy to pick up and control, I'm using a racing wheel though, I don't know about a mouse + keyboard

GRID 1, you can buy it now in the STEAM Store with -75%. Trust me, is perfect for you! :) And it's cheaper!

And do people actually play it online? What about the newer Dirt Games, are they not better?

I got hold of a copy of grid the other day, and then decided to check on its online status before activating. It's online servers have been shut down (apparently).

Dirt 2 and Dirt 3 are good games too, but with a different gameplay. I suggest you to check gameplay videos on Youtube.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Being chased by cops adds a nice element. I'm not a sim racing fan at all.

Just bought grid and love it. It's arcady not that realistic but i can't play it online. It won't connect for me. It may be that servers are down for the first grid. But yeah Dirt series are super too. If you want some random stuff get dirt showdown. No logic there but it's fun with friends. Every dirt game is awesome for me. But if you want racing simulator the best one get ps3 and Gran turismo 5.

Hey, Aya! :D
Well, unless you're talking specifically about cars, I'd bet on this one. But sadly, it's not even greenlit yet. :P
Anyways, DiRT Showdown seems a nice arcade racing game for me. I haven't played DiRT 2 yet, but people says it's even better. :)

I never like racing games and now I play three series: simulations Race07, OFF Road Driving and an arcade style series DIRT.

Crash team racing. And yes, you can get it on computer and yes, you can make it so that your XBawx controller works with it.

Well for steam... my favorites are the three karting games, which are F1 Race Stars, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, and Zero Gear. I know for a fact Sonic has xbox controller support, although Zero Gear is my favorite of the three. F1 and Zero Gear both have partial controller support but I have no clue if it's XInput or DirectInput (I'd check but I'm heading to bed soon). Sadly Zero Gear is dead and I haven't checked out F1's multiplayer, so by process of elimination I'll say Sonic Racing (Make sure to get Transformed and not the original one)
