    Thumbs up Video racing games

    Hey guys I just picked up a new game for my XBOX, calles APEX. this game is awesome!!!! The grahics are out of this world. I cant believe how good they are. The major part of the game is you are starting a racing company and have protype cars built and then you race them against real cars, and your finish in the race deterimes how many cars are sold. The mulitper mode is cool, 2 players. I've been playin since last night when I got back from snowboarding.

    I've played a few XBOX racing games and none of them even compare to Gran Turismo 3 for the PS2

    The GT3 graphics are way out of date now, combared to the XBOX's power. APEX has a different game play then GT3. I am waiting to see how the next Gran Turismo is, hopefully later this year.

    Apex has a lot of features like Gotham racing, you wont believe the graphics of APEX!!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait for Gotham 2, Midtown Madness 3 and Midnight Club Racing 2 for the XBOX. All of these are going to XBOX Live playable games.

    Hmm, APEX huh. Sounds cool to me. I love racing games. I have Sega GT, and rally cross challenge right now. Both of which I love to play. Especially rally cross. And I have project gothem racing on the way. Just bought it off of ebay a few days ago. I love ebay. Where else can you get games for like $12 shipped to your door. I haven't played GT3 for PS2. mainly because I don't have a ps2. I wanted the x box instead and I think I made a wise choice. I just can't wait for Halo 2. Man I still play the hell out of the first one. It is such a great game. Oh and Splinter Cell. Still trying to beat that game. Its definately tough in some spots. But a really cool game.

    i have a x box, ps2, and game cube and the ps2 is by far the best system out there. i have also played sega gt and it by no way compares to gt3 on ps2, also i made the mistake of buying gotham racing, this game really sucked. so far i have yet to find one decent racing game for the xbox, the best game by far for it is halo, i also cant wait for halo2.

    I feel exactly the same way.
    I used to like Project Gotham Racing until I played GT3. It was only then i realized how much the game sucked.
    XBOX should stick with thier shooters.

    I agree with the last poster...All XBOX has is Halo...Thats it. Its a year and a half old, and Halo is their best XBOX exclusive game by far.

    To the person smoking dope saying GT3's graphics are out of date is crazy.

    To the person saying Sega GT is the GT3 killer...Oh man, where do I start? I can go on and on about the poor framerate, horrible physics, etc...but how about this? THERES A REASON THAT GAME AND JSRF COME FREE WITH THE SYSTEM (they suck and never sold when they were on the shelf at retail for $50...they had to get rid of them somehow...)

    Everything else that has been listed in this thread (Colin Mc Rae 3, Pro Race Driver, Splinter Cell, and Midnight Club 2) are all going on both platforms, so thats pretty much a wash. The XBOX has more impressive specs, but they really haven't harnessed them to their fullest potential yet. Either that, or Sony is programming the hell out of the PS2.

    GT3 and Final Fantasy X's graphics SMOKE anything on the XBOX so far, and they are both on a machine thats a year older, a year slower....

    I am an equal videogame player (own both XBOX and PS2). The PS2 gets more of a workout than the XBOX, even though I own more XBOX games. I think it tends to be that XBOX owners try to make the most of what they have, wich I admire...But theres no way your going to tell me its an all around better system than the PS2. The lighting effects in Splinter Cell might look a little more polished on the XBOX, but the PS2 has way more quality games than the XBOX will ever hope to see (this generation console anyway). But yeah, Microsoft has Halo..and Halo 2, and probably Halo 3, maybe Halo Sunshine, Paper Halo, Halo 64....

    For those who the only console they own is an XBOX, I feel for you. I see many of you, day in and day out...Standing in the XBOX game aisle...Hoping, PRAYING that there is a game for your system worthy of your $50. I wish I could offer you some insight or support, but I am usually too busy helping the store re-stock the shelves with GTA 3, and Vice City, The Getaway, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, ATV Offroad Fury 2, Kingdom Hearts, SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals (all of wich will never grace an XBOX Console).

    and yes, Sony does pay my mortgage, and I love to debate this topic (its all I do, all day long). Please, the people who I said are crazy and smoking dope, do not take offense to my comments, its all good.

    Craig of course you are going to down grade the XBOX you are a PS rep. I am an XBOX rep. I palyed Vice City for 2 hours put in back in the box and went back to Splinter Cell. The GT# graphics are now 2 years old, they are going to out dated. If you have a chance to look at APEX I suggest it.....I am totally blown away. IT does not have the same openess as GT3..i.e. modifications, wheels, etc. But it does have incredible graphics and a fun game play to it, and just as many as tracks. I agree with you on GT 2002, it wasnt as good as it should have been, but the graphics where much better.

    Not downplaying it, just letting you know it is what it is.

    I did the same as you with Vice City...I played it for 20 mins and actually took it back. I got more use out of GTA 3, than Vice City. But the most important thing in my little speil was that, as of next month, I can play both Splinter Cell, and Vice City on my PS2...You on the other hand cannot.

    I still don't understand how the GT3 graphics can be considered outdated, if they are still are the best racing graphics of any console game on the market....I have had Colin Mc Rae 3 for about 3 months now (imported it from the UK for XBOX) and since there are so few cars in the game, still gotta give props to GT3.

    I just got Pro Race Driver, and I am loving that. With it being Live on XBOX, it should be pretty phat. Can't wait for Midnight Club 2 to come out, and now I am going to have to check out that APEX game.

    Hey, its all good...2nd place is pretty respectable for a new console. Is Heidi Alper your Regional Manager? Do you know Ralph Ramos, the DM for the Philly area? What about Eric Birtel from Philly? I see them often (all except Heidi...she used to work for Sony, thats how I know her).
