TVG writes: "On the current crop of consoles, you've got two driving game sub-genres to choose between: the instant thrills of an arcade street racer like Need For Speed and Midnight Club, or the anorak like car collecting of 'driving sims' such as Gran Turismo and Forza. So far, there isn't really a game that has offered the dedicated experience of a refined racing sim. Ever since Codemasters took its TOCA: Race Driver series in a more arcadey direction with GRID, we've been left without the thrills and spills of a specialised racing sim on the next-gen consoles, which is something that SimBin clearly wants to change with Race Pro on Xbox 360."
Pros
* Well balanced throttle/brake controls.
* Realistic driver aids.
* One of few racing sims on consoles.
Cons
* Understeer heavy handling.
* A few more tracks would have helped.
* Underwhelming visuals.
It’s no secret that the Xbox 360’s lifespan is coming to an end, meaning we’ve got an extensive library of games to sort through and possibly trade-in to GameStop or EBGames. Because of this, used Xbox 360 games are incredibly cheap, and a lot of people might be spending this summer adding those last few games to their collections.
Time to round up the best racing titles in a Top 10 run down.
