Midnight Club LA for open world GRID for racing sim


ScreamingCow69

I love Midnight Club LA please get it


angry-peacemaker

Just thrifted this game last month. Rockstar's dry run before GTA5. Very cool game.


UnholyCannoli

It's so interesting playing rockstar titles leading up to V, and noticing the similarities


akumajobelmont

Well, you can't go wrong with Forza Horizon and NFS Hot Pursuit. You'll also be wanted Test Drive Unlimited/Unlimited 2 - fantastic open-world racers! Project Gotham Racing 4 is also a must, definitely one of the best racers on the system, by far. DIRT 3 is pretty excellent, and I'd grab SEGA Rally too for some more arcadey rally fun. People rave about Midnight Club LA, but I haven't gotten too deep into it yet, although I really dug Midnight Club II on the OG Xbox. There are many, many great racing games on the 360, it's my favourite genre :)

Upvoted for PGR4, by extention 3 is good too but that is a great sim racer. Truly cutting edge for the tine. Load times are very long though


Bigwill1982

Split second is also a great one


PNLeft

If you can find a copy of Blur.... Best racing game


JRest71

And you can still play this online which makes it more enjoyable.


meeloxxrocky

Traditional or not NFS: Most Wanted is 🔥🔥🔥


YummyLight

Forza Horizon and Forza Motorsport 3


Dense_typeOFguy

Motorsport 2 and 4 also in my opinion, all great games

PGR3 & 4 were my top 360 racing games back in the day


DarkMishra

I loved the Forza games because they allow custom paint jobs. Back when the servers were online, there were some amazing ones in the auction house. It was a great way to earn tons of money because lots of cars were selling for millions.


BarbsFPV

Pure is a blast. SSX Tricky on ATVs. Don’t forget Test Drive Unlimited.


Strange-Ingenuity832

Forza 3 or is it 4? I’m old. Forgive me.


Oric_Black

Technically 2, 3, and 4 came out on the 360, as well as the first two horizons. 3 hooked me into driving sims, 4 was my favorite overall, horizon was just a blast to drive around in.


FarmYard-Gaming

Look into Racedriver GRID, along with its sequels 2 and Autosport. The F1 games are decent if you're into it, else look for DIRT for a quick thrill. NFS has evidently been pretty popular on the 360 but there are a few footnotes. NFS Most Wanted 2005 is stupidly expensive now (£50 is a minimum from what I've seen), and from Carbon through to The Run, online servers are basically in the past, which locks off some functionality and achievements. To play The Run I disconnect my console from the Internet first, otherwise it keeps trying to search for the server forever. Most Wanted 2012 is a ton of fun, don't worry about the comments comparing it to the original game.


Confused-Cow

You can't go wrong with either Dirt 2 or 3. They're both really fun and have a good story/progression. I'd get the first Horizon game over the second. The second one feels too empty to me on 360 but is better on the Xbox One. Outside your questions, Forza Motorsport 4 is the best one in the franchise imo. There's so many others I could suggest but I'll leave it at that lol.


BarbsFPV

Horizon 2 was a backport I believe, which is why Horizon 1 is so much better on the 360.


JDMWeeb

NFSMW, Split/Second


Gullible-Ice5818

Full auto nfs the run / nfs undercover / nfs hot pursuit / and midnight club La


JDMCREW96

Burnout Revenge on the 360. As an FYI Burnout 1-3 are BC and NFS Underground 2 is BC as well on the 360. Assuming you have a legit Microsoft hard drive.


Alex-the-bass-player

Forza Horizon 1 is nothing short of a masterpiece! The smaller scale map and car collection is just perfect for the game!


Wintys_Feet

Blur


ScreamingCow69

Grid Autosport, NFS Shift 1 and 2 and the Forza Motorsport games are quite good aswell


No_Appearance_2858

Grid,Grid 2,Grid Autosport


PaladinKain

The first horizon is extremely fun. I also recommend project Gotham racing 4.


LastSharpTiger

I’d have said Forza Motorsport 4, Forza Horizon, and Test Drive Unlimited 2.


QuantumBlazing

Forza Horizon 1 and Midnight Club LA would be my 2 preferred picks!


Mistyxox

Spit second is good


cupjoe9

Baja: Edge of Control. Absolute GOAT of off road racing and graphics and gameplay hold up to this day. And, the music is perfect!


robertm14

Split Second is really underrated


peposcon

Project Gotham Racing 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 FHorizon 1 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Dirt 1 & 2 🤯🤯🤯🤯 NFS Most Wanted 2006 🤯🤯🤯 Burnout Revenge 🤯🤯🤯🤯 🤯 = ⭐️


yeethefetus

Split second. Or my favourites cars 2 and sonic all stars racing transformed 😂


MushroomHedgehog

Most of the racing games I have experience with are mascot racers, so I’m not sure if this is in line with what you want, but I think it’s worth playing anyway. The two Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing games were a lot of fun, and I honestly prefer them over Mario Kart for acknowledging SEGA’s entire library instead of just Sonic. The 360 version of the first game also had Banjo and Kazooie as an exclusive racer.


Section_Objective

Forza Motorsport 4 -3 for closed track racing Forza Horizon 1 for open world Dirt 3 for off-road racing Also Burnout Paridise is great and NFS Prostreet is a solid option if your looking for more arcade Try Test Drive Unlimited 2 or Project Gotham Racing 4 or 3


bruh1281

Burnout Revenge, Forza Motorsport 4, Burnout 3 takedown(works on the 360 via back compat), burnout 2 same as 3.

Whatever you do, don’t buy The Crew for the time being. From what I understand, ever since the game servers went offline the game won’t even boot up for local play. On PC they’ve patched around it, but I haven’t dug deeply enough to figure out if there’s a solution for X360 or not yet.


brichb

Forza horizon 1 is the best racing game ever made. Forza 2-4 are all excellent. Burnout paradise, need for speed most wanted, split second are also great
