GAMES TO REV YOUR ENGINE

-

WITH all the talk about FIFA 18 it’s easy to forget there were loads of other brilliant games released in the past few weeks.

Racing fans will be spoiled for choice ... there are three brilliant racers on the market right now: Project Cars 2, Forza Motorsport 7 and WRC 7.

You no doubt enjoyed 2015’s Project Cars, but the sequel ramps it up a notch.

There are now more tracks – 46 in total, a majority of which have been laser scanned for pinpoint accuracy.

Not only that, but cars are almost photoreali­stic thanks to the brilliant Madness engine that, amazingly, powered 2009’s Need for Speed: Shift.

There’s even a brilliant photo mode allowing you to capture every little detail. The real ace up the Project Cars’ sleeve, though, is dynamic weather. In fact, Bandai Namco’s masterpiec­e could well boast the most realistic weather system ever created.

Forza Motorsport 7 is also a stunning looking game – and has been developed to show off the shiny Xbox One X.

There are more than 700 cars and more than 200 different configurat­ions to race on across 32 locations at launch.

A fictional street circuit in Dubai is one of the standout new tracks that sees you weave through empty streets while sand obscures your view.

It’s hard to top the brilliant Dirt 4 when it comes to rally games, but WRC certainly tries its best.

It’ll take you to the 13 official countries of WRC — which means you’ll race in the UK, Monaco, Sweden, Mexico, Argentina, Germany, Finland, Spain, Australia, Portugal, France, Italy and Poland.
