I'm looking to update my DC games collection for Christmas, and I thought I might buy some driving games. Can anyone here recommend some good ones?
I've already got Speed Devils which is awful, and Crazy Taxi 2 which is ok but not really the sort of game I'm into.
When it comes to driving games I'm not really into realism. I just want a game that is arcade like (i.e. easy to get into) and with a good sensation of speed.
I've been looking through internet review sites and quite a few people seem to like San Francisco Rush 2049. Anyone got any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.

SF RUSH 2049 rocks in the arcade and on the DC. It is one of the main reasons that I dust off and play the console. Great fun! ARCADIAC!
-
Test Drive LeMans is one of my all time favorites, as well as the Ferrari sim, which was praised for it's realism. Stay away from Test Drive 6 which totally sucked!
-
SEGA Rally 2, Ferarri F355 Challenge, Daytona USA and Rush 2049 all rule. They're all top notch arcade ports.
SEGA GT and Metropolis Street Racer were good too.
I really love Crazy Taxi as well, but you already said that's not your thing.

tokyo extreme racer 2..check it out!
-
second that!!.
any of the tokyo extreme series kicks ass.
game was way ahead of its time and the enemy driver AI is great..
-
I would note that the original Crazy Taxi was much better than Crazy Taxi 2. I can't believe how much they hosed up the sequel.

san fransisco rush 2049
sega gt
i hear flag to flag is good, but i never played it
sega rally 2
tokyo extreme racer 2
MSR: metropolis street racer, heard it's good never played it
star wars podracer is good, suprisingly
if i were you i would get
tokyo extreme racer 2
sega rally 2
sega gt
and if you have money let podracer or rush... but rush is a little over rated, not much replay and it's overpriced.

18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker 8)
-
18 wheeler isn;t so much a racing game as it is a crazy taxi style game
you move a slow truck through some pretty sparse looking areas against a clock
it gets old FAST
stick with the list i posted above... you can't go wrong with it
18 wheller: american pro trucker was good for 6 minutes exactly before it became old.

sega gt is the biggest pile of poo ever packaged under the guise of a racing game...
there was a hype machine behind this game when it was first released, and i remeber getting this title and being absolutely disgusted wehn i got it home..
there is absolutely no sense of speed in this game.the speedometer says like 180mph, but the screen looks like your doing 5..
dont waste your money on this one..

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I placed an order for some Dreamcast games a few days ago, and in case anyone's interested here's the list:
Bangai-O
Capcom vs SNK 2
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Metropolis Street Racer
Project Justice: Rival Schools 2
Resident Evil 2
San Francisco Rush 2049
Soul Calibur
Tokyo Extreme Racer 2
My choices were based mainly on what I've read on the BYOAC board.
Hopefully they'll arrive by Christmas.
