I would play a lot of the original game on PS3 and now I put a lot of time into DIRT: Rally 2.0. The mechanics aren&#8217;t perfect but its still a challenging game with the right settings on. Speaking of the settings, these games have always done well with including options for all skill levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>4. Mario Kart<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/hero-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/hero-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/hero-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/hero-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/hero-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/hero.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t personally play Mario Kart a whole lot, but it would be crazy to try and make a racing games list and not include this one. It&#8217;s by far the best racing game to play locally with some friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>3. GTA V Racing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/download-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60\" width=\"474\" height=\"265\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I know this is a weird game to include on this list, but GTA V racing can produce some very fun moments, especially when you play with a large group of friends. It&#8217;s obviously not the most realistic or serious racing available, but if you go into it just to have a good time, you&#8217;ll rarely be disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>2. Gran Turismo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/UxC9FXNpQoaVwZthXHdmtA-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/UxC9FXNpQoaVwZthXHdmtA-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/UxC9FXNpQoaVwZthXHdmtA-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/UxC9FXNpQoaVwZthXHdmtA-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/UxC9FXNpQoaVwZthXHdmtA-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/UxC9FXNpQoaVwZthXHdmtA-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gran Turismo is the most realistic racing game I included in this list. Of all of the racing games I&#8217;ve played, I would also say that this game has the largest skill gap. It definitely takes a lot of playtime to master. The cars and the customization in this game is also surprisingly expansive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1.Forza<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"353\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/capsule_616x353.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/capsule_616x353.jpg 616w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/theweekendgamer\/files\/2021\/04\/capsule_616x353-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Forza is by far the best combination of driving mechanics, content, customization, and the game just looks really good. I currently own just a PS4 right now, but Forza is a series that I would switch over to Xbox or PC for. It boasts a massive map and in the Horizon series, free roam and always online gameplay that can make for some great in-game car meets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5.DIRT The dirt racing games have always been a fun time for me.
