Here was my conclusion
Enthusia is like Dance Dance Revolution. While its possible to play the game with the standard gamepad, you really need a specialized input-device to play the game as it should be played. For DDR, it used to be $80 gamepads (before those budget mats were released) and so for Enthusia, the special controller is the Driving Force Pro.
In terms of gameplay, Enthusia isnt that fun the term fatiguing truly captures the experience. However, it is like going to a gym and getting tired. Weight lifting itself isnt any fun its having the strength at the end of the day that motivates you. Driving in Enthusia is a workout, frustrating while youre in the moment, but rewarding when you are done. If you are willing to spend time with Enthusia, youll develop skills to become a better race driver. You just might not have a smile while youre doing it. Readers looking for a more intense and serious experience than Gran Turismo or Forza offer should add at least 10 points to the score.
Daytona II Power Edition:
Go hunt down a deluxe cab, strap yourself in, select manual trans, before a nice meaty corner shift down to 1st (or 2nd) gear, you'll notice that you are redlining like crazy then turn the car in a nice smooth manner. Watch as your car drifts in a godlike manner and comes to life. Now control this beast. Its no good reading about this. You need to experience it. Dont pick the Chums Gum Car since its not that good to drift in because of the high yaw tolerance.
(Note: There are many ways to drift in Daytona II but it's better (IE more fun) finding those out yourself)

I think you're confused. Daytona USA (1) had lovely drift mechanics. There was no Daytona 2.

Sorry to ask, but isn't Ridge Racer (at least the PSP version) a drift racing game too? I'm wondering because nobody said it yet.
johnjohnson said:
not really, no. Its a game where the car animates sideways round a corner. But thats as far as the comparison goes. There is no real control over the slide.
In some ways RR has gone backwards with regards to its mechanics. While never realistic, I seem to remember having some finesse over the powerslides in RR1 on the PSone.

LOL are you kidding? LFS is a boring sim where drifting and exiting a corner with some speed is pretty much impossible and a chore at best. If you want to get into sims with excellent and deep drift physics, look no further
than the classic GPL.
...and GPL is not a "boring sim" then?isamu said:
LFS is one of the best sims there is. That has been said by countless people. So is GPL.If drifting in LFS is giving you trouble then you need to think about how to setup the car and how to drive. Or have you just tried the demo? The full version has much more powerful cars...

If you don't like RR's drifting you won't like Outrun's.
the PGR and Rallisport people called it.

It takes time to adjust to the feel of it all, but once you do the game is a riot.
I think the reason Daytona 2 is so misunderstood is because people just did not give it enough time, maybe they just wanted the same feel and control of Daytona 1 with upgraded graphics.Daytona 2's powersliding is ten times easier then Daytona 1's. I never was able to completely master it in the original game, at least on the Seaside Street circuit anyway (it was beyond easy on Dinosaur Canyon), but it didn't take anytime at all to figure it out in Daytona 2.
Best drifting games...hmmm. I guess Colin McRae 05, though a part of me will always prefer Colin McRae 2.0 on the PC. Sega Rally 1 & 2 (preferably the PC version for 2). OutRun 2. V-Rally 3 on XBox if you can find it for ten bucks might be worth a whirl. And Daytona DC wasn't nearly as bad as some people said. Oh yeah, Virtua Racing might be my favourite drifting racer ever. That's all that comes to mind at this point.

No, that'd be Kaido Battle, the other game I mentioned. As for Battle Gear 3, there aren't that many resources around for it, you just need to believe the few of us who know about it. I hope for your own sake you aquire it if you like drifting games and that whole Ridge Racer hyper reality type design.
There are a few videos here, apparently: http://ps2.ign.com/objects/662/662409.html
