Default Best driving game for PS2. Or should I buy an X-box instead?

I bought a PS2 yesterday. It came with the network adapter and ATV Offroad Fury 2. I'm looking for a cool driving game for PS2....with cars that is. What do you guys recommend? Or should I buy an X-box instead? If so, what game should I get for X-Box?

GT3, GT Concept, GT4 in some months

For bikes, Riding Spirits II is very good and long IMO

And no, the best driving games are still on the PS2 IMO.

You will be happy with your PS2 do you actually like other games or only racing ones? In the survival horror / RPG cathegories there are A LOT of great games for your PS2

GT3 is definatly the right choice!! also GT4 prolouge aint bad but I'm not sure if it came out in america, I have an xbox aswell but there nothing out for it in IMO. I think u would be better sticking to your PS2, unless halo2 and Fortza tickles ya fancy, which are coming later this year.

Yeah, buying GT4 prolouge may make u think u are paying double for GT4...but it is by far having better graphics, dynamics and gameplay than GT3....so do put GT4 prolouge in consideration

As others have said, GT3 and then GT4 (when it is released). I wouldn't bother with the GT4 demo , just play GT3 and wait for the full version of GT4 (I'm a crazy foo! so I went and bought the GT4 demo).

Re: other games to get
If you like the Time Crisis series ( as I do) get a pair of guns and do it John Woo style.

GTA: Vice City (Grand Theft Auto) was great, but I quickly got tired of it. I haven't played it after my initial session after buying the game. Unlike the Gran Turismo or Time Crisis series which I have a blat on a weekly basis at least.

Didn't find the 1st person shooters all that great (I came from Goldeneye on the N64) and I prefer Halo on the XBox out of the current crop.

I haven't touched my PS2 in ages. But for racing games with cars I'd say gt3. But right now I want to get an xbox because of pgr2 and toca race driver 2.

if your just having one console stic witht he PS2 and get the GT series,cant go wrong with those and GT4 in a few months will be awesome.

x-box really only has PGR2 as a good car racing game,so PS2 is the afe bet to stick with
