    What is the first racing game you played that really got you into racing games in general? Need for Speed High Stakes is the game that really made me a racing game fan.

    I think Need for speeds will always spark my interest in the racing genre. They are always great games to play nad they are always entertaining.

    Need for Speed 2 was probably the first racing game I played. Still have a soft spot for the NFS series.

    Yeah I personally liked the Need for Speed High Stakes game. The levels were exciting and the selection of cars were incredible.

    Maro Kart for the SNES got me interested into racing games. I am a big fan of Mario Kart for the Wii as well.

    I would have to say that it was OutRun. I just loved the game, the music and the changing scenery. It was great to see a sequel too, and I hope SEGA see sense and release an OutRun 3 eventually. I really don't want to wait almost two decades to play a sequel this time!

    I think Need For Speed Most Wanted was the first racing game that I really took seriously and tried to finish. I got addicted to the customization and the extra mechanics that made it a lot more than just another racing game such as drifting mini games and escaping the police and ramming into their blockades.

    The first NFS had made thought that this was pure realism and video games couldn't get better than that. Little did I know...

    For me it was Need for Speed Underground. I have always played racing games after that game. I just love racing games.

    @teabwoi Same here. There were some other racing games that introduced me to the genre and made me properly interested in it, but I didn't get obsessed with it until I got to play Burnout.

    My favorite racing games are definitely Gran Turismo and Need for Speed. I've played many of them and I really do love them! I played Gran Turismo 5 on the PS3 and it has really, really nice graphics! The Need For Speed series also have really great game play and graphics too!

    Personally, I think it was Need For Speed, and maybe Burnout as well. I also played some Gran Turismo, which also really interested me. But ever since I was a kid, I really loved cars and racing games! Even now, I still love them!

    I can't really remember the exact name, but a Colin Mcrae game for the PS1.
