Get down and dirty on the track with a faster class of vehicles, and progress through various series from Stock, to Modified, and on to the Late models with Dirt Track Racing 2. This sequel takes the same exciting, extreme-style gameplay that made its predecessors so successful and adds new tracks, mind blowing graphics, intense special effects, amazing sounds, and the new class of "modified" cars to race. And rather than deny you the joy of the earlier titles, Dirt Track Racing 2 is backwards compatible, so you can continue to use your favorite racetracks from Dirt Track Racing and Dirt Track Racing: Sprint Cars.
V-Rally 3
V-Rally 3 moves away from the traditional mold of driving games, diversifying the experience by letting players not simply drive in high-speed rally vehicles, but to actually live the life of a driver working through the intensity of a rally season. You get to name your driver, choose his nationality and appearance, and then, from an office you visit between races, you'll get to check e-mail on your computer to learn of his offers to join different teams. As your career progresses from season to season, you'll get the opportunity to drive all sorts of 1.6-liter front-wheel-drive cars and 2.0-liter four-wheel-drive cars. The cars are all based on actual models, so you'll get to blast down straights and whip through turns in a Subaru Impreza, Ford Focus RS, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII, and more. Winning is always a challenge in V-Rally 3, requiring you to drive with precision if you want to beat the competition, which is no easy task when you're screaming down a narrow, muddy road lined with trees and boulders in the pouring rain. To get the most out of your car, you can tweak the suspension, ride height, and stabilizers, and you can alter the gearbox ratio, differentials, and brake bias. In keeping with this realistic focus, V-Rally 3 pays a lot of attention to damage modeling. Slip-ups will result in damage to things such as headlights, the suspension, or the gearbox, and in the career mode you'll usually only get to service your car after every couple of rally stages with a limited amount of time. The going is tough, your teams can be unforgiving, and the competition can be brutal, but if you race well enough you may be approached to enter the elite and fiercely competitive 2.01 championship.
DRIV3R
Hit the streets in DRIV3R for a realistic crime saga that would make Hollywood proud. As Tanner -- aka "The Wheelman" -- you play an undercover cop with few rules and no fear. Together with your partner, you set out to stop a car theft syndicate planning the global heist of a lifetime. To survive, you must master over 60 drivable vehicles, including motorcycles, boats, police cars, vans, mopeds, muscle cars and 18-wheelers, all remarkably lifelike and fully destructible. With an engaging combo of driving, shooting, wide-open roaming, and even a "hit" mission found only on the PC version, you will tackle the three enormous cities of Miami, Nice, and Istanbul, each designed with photo-realistic detail. DRIV3R keeps you engaged in the game with unmatched physics for incredible accuracy, and multiple paths to completion for many your missions. This game also features almost an hour of CGI video footage, along with the Hollywood voice talents of Michael Madsen, Ving Rhames, Mickey Rourke, and Michael Rodriguez. And as icing on the cake, there is a Film Director mode that lets you record the action from multiple views and edit chase scenes for storage and playback, so your best games can be re-lived at your leisure.
The Atari Racing Collection gives you great racing action, whether you're on the dirt roads or in the biggest cities. Go off-road for Dirt Track Racing 2, where you'll blaze new trails through the dust. In V Rally 3 you'll conquer the racing circuit in the fastest driving macines ever built. Finally, in DRIV3R you'll get all the fun and thrills of the original Driver, combined with all-new gameplay mechanics.
