Burnout crash, not really a racing game but good fun trying to get a high score whilst destroying as much stuff as you can in your car.

Did you actually read the OPs spec / requirement?

I don't mind, it was interesting to know about.

If you want something dumb and easy to pick up you might be better off with some of the iPad games. They are selling some really cool controllers for them as well.

I like tablet/phone gaming but for action games it doesn't draw me in.

Grid or grid 2 may scratch that itch

Or even dirt if you want some slidey fun

I've got Grid and quite like it, but played it to death a bit. Might look into Dirt.

re: XBone and Forza... at some point we'll upgrade but no idea to which platform. Forza does look fun.

Do PS2 games play on the PS3? My kids dug out the old PS2 a few weeks back and and a few hours of fun with London Racer 2 - If you're expecting a realistic driving experience then it's not for you. If you want to muck about then it might be worth a try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtj4VpORkBA

They were only compatible with the early 60GB and 20GB PS3s:

According to that, London Racer 2 isn't supported.

That said, you can probably pick up a PS2 for £20 from CEX or somewhere like that.

I actually bought a GameCube over the summer principally for MK DD with mates. It's currently down south but I will have to pick it up... it does lose longevity playing solo though, and the randomness is VERY frustrating when playing AI rather than human opponents.

There are a few that were good for the PS3 - Gran Turismo 5/6, Sega All Star Racing (similar to LBP Karting) but if you want a pick up and play arcade style single-player car racer, Ridge Racer 7 probably fits the bill best.

Not a car racing game (Space simulator is how it put) , nor is it available for PS3 (or any PS). It will play on a reasonable PC/XBox. Elite: Dangerous has a CQC (Close Quarters Combat) mode which is as you describe. You also get the full game for when there's nout on TV.

Ha. I did use to like MicroMachines back in the day, that was fun too.

LBP Karting is more like Mariokart, with the added bonus of a track design mode. Used to love spending weekends with the kids racing on each other's courses. Four player split screen too, which made it good family fun.
