For those who are old enough to remember games such as Lotus Esprit Challenge on the Amiga and Ridge Racer on the PS1. Where have all the pick up and play racers gone. The ones where you don't spin out at every corner for the first three hours of playing. Apart from Mario Kart, where have all the head to head racers gone that you can actually sit in the same room as friends or family and race against each other?
I can't be bothered to sit and play for a couple of hours before I learn how to smoothly go around a corner at speed, using one of the 6 buttons at my disposal, to avoid crashing. I'd like to pick up, do a lap at a reasonable speed without crashing big time at every corner, and learn how to do this faster and faster.
Am I just too old for all these modern day games, and what I want just isn't real racing? Am I missing a game that does exist? Or maybe I'm simply not switching the games into idiot mode?
