Need For Speed : Porsche Unleashed.

Sure the graphics are sub-par compared to UT or Doom3 now but still the best racing game I've ever played, I might be a bit biased on that considering the content :P Anyone else played? I have a few back-up copies online if ppl have lost theirs!

I am going to have to say my two favorites are Gran Turismo 3 on PS2 and Grand Prix Legends for PC. Porsche Unleashed was very good though!

That was the only game on my computer for a while. Or it was that and that ultra ultra realistic racing game, "Racer" I think. Or was it "Life for Speed"? One of the two.

Then my buddy wanted his steering wheel and pedal controller set back. Then I became a sad panda.

Absolutely! 4 1/2 years and counting, Porsche Unleashed is still my favorite PC game. I went through a spell for about a year where I played Civilization III quite a bit, but if I could have just one on my hard drive, it would be Porsche Unleashed. Granted, I only play it about twice a year, but each time I do, it is like visiting with an old friend. Truly outstanding for year 2000 technology, and you couldn't ask for a better group of cars for the game! For truly, there is no substitute for Porsche, even in a video game!

I've been playing the game for years and still love it. Everytime I start it over it's like a new game. Last time I played it I made it up to the mid 90's making first place in every race and not damaging the car at all.
