Poll: Realistic racing games or unrealistic racing games?

As realistic as F-Zero. I like SPEED... so I agree with

Unrealistic. All the way.
(stuff about Extreme G III)
etc

Also, BALLISTICS was great back then... the insane speeds you could reach used to blow me away.

Yep, definitely fun. I remember how at the beginning of the game it was almost impossible to break the sound barrier, whereas at the highest difficulty/speed setting it took a mere 5 to 6 seconds to hear all sound melting away around you and the speed exceeding 999mph. ^^

I dont like realistic racing games that much.
One of my favorite racing games is burnout. You get turbo, and get rewarded for driving like an asshole.

Burnout 3 is what I perfer. The only realistic thing about the game is that the cars are on the ground.

I like both, I love my Forza and GT but I also love killing time in Burnout and Wipeout. Where's that option?

I'd class Burnout as unrealistic. So, I voted for that.

Oh, and I'd call Gran Turismo and Forza unrealistic too. Sure, they're pretty realistic, but when it comes to the nitty-gritty (car damage, fuel etc.) their accuracy leaves something to be desired.

Now, F1 games, and others like that are more realistic than GT and Forza. And, in my opinion at least, they suck.

Unrealistic, nothing really seems fast enough for my tastes except for F-Zero.

I find racing games that take themselves too seriously rather boring. Just strap a rocket launcher on the top of my car or a red shell to the front & I'm happy ^^
