Top Five Toughest Video Game Racing Tracks of All Time

Re: Top Five Video Game Racing Tracks of All Time

I have to disagree here with the writer. Maybe his idea of what makes a great track is different than mine, but Rally di Positano from Forza 3 is garbage. Just because a track is tough doesn't make it "great", which it appears is the criteria for this list. I don't know the Mario Cart track he talks about, but Rally di Positano is a poor track...it's 8 miles long and tight and doesn't flow at all. It's a terrible track for racing on.

I disagree with this. First off I don't particularly care for Positano myself. I let out an "ughh" when I see it pop up in career or in races with friends. BUT, I think for what it is it's an excellent piece of road. Notice I didn't say track. It fits the locale and time period for what it is perfectly. If you've watched any old foreign movies back in the 60's and 50's then this would be a number one locale for one. Add to it that it's modeled as a road that was never meant to be a "track" but for lower horse powered cars (those around the time period the road was supposedly made) that handled well and the "track" is a perfect recreation of what it's supposed to be. Take your sub 100HP car with decent handles on this track and good times are to be had, I guess.

I disagree with this.

When I made those comments, the article/thread was mis-titled. As intended, as one of the toughest tracks, it is. I still don't think it's a very good racing track however..maybe for bicycles I guess.

Rainbow Road of course, which is why it's one of my favorites.

Also would like to put an honorable mention for GT1's Special Stage Route 11 (I liked this version over GT3's track. I agree with this list though. I hated Citti di Aria.

Take a C class car on it , manual with clutch, and it's actually alot of fun. See the problem with this game is the fact that wheel options on the 360 are, as we know, limited. Owning the Fanatec has brought out alot of fun in the game that otherwise didn't have with the M$ wheel.

If this doesn't get you in the mood to race, nothing will!

There are different versions but they all have the same idea. IMO, it was a really fun track. I liked the 64 version over the Double Dash one, but I haven't tried all of them.

Yeah the Super Nintendo one was hard and the Wii one is hard for me

Re: Top Five Toughest Video Game Racing Tracks of All Time

It's very hard to say top five, but when I think of challenging tracks, I always think Nordschleife, Spa, Monte Carlo, older Hockenheim and older Monza.

Toughest tracks you hate (ie crappy). Now how about a story about the toughest tracks we love.

Re: Top Five Toughest Video Game Racing Tracks of All Time

My vote goes to that Wind track on F-Zero. I think its like the 3rd version on that track.

Rainbow road is the best! It seems if you can just stay on the track you will win lol.

A few Mario Karts have the castle tracks without walls and you plummet to your failure. Those tracks always get me.

On a real note the Sega Rally Racing xbox 360 was the devil; After a few races I couldn't even finish in a close last place, the A.I. was the devil reincarnated.
