Any racing games with great or even amazing customization?
Hey guys,

I almost never play racing games, but I'm craving one lately. For me, the customization is the best part. I used to play Midnight Club Los Angeles on the 360 a lot and always was garage space short, because I could 'only' store 30 or so cars.

Anyway, I believe the car handling type in MCLA is called 'Arcadey'? So I guess I'm looking for the best Arcadey racing games on steam, with as much and as good customization as possible. Sure, I'll like riding around in my creations, but story and all that is secondary. In MCLA I played for a good few hundred hours and I probably never got through half of the story.

Seriously? Op asked for an arcady game with deep car customization, not a racing sim

@op: You should give forza horizon 3 (Windows Store) a chance. It's open world and has car customization. Other than that you could give the latest Need For Speed a go. Both games aren't on Steam though. Unfortunately I don't think there's anything like Midnight Club on steam.

If Steam is your sole option and if at a last resort, you may want to consider this.

Mixed reception overall and black sheep of the Need for Speed franchise, also car vinyl designs are disabled in multiplayer matches presumably for 'performance', even if it's just a simple black racing stripe.

On the other hand, car customization is fairly artistic, prominent use of "Autosculpt" and modest assortment of spoilers, hoods, wheels, etc. Color wheel provides diverse array of individual colors. Car selection is fairly generous, but the starter career car is predefined and there are some console exclusive cars. Good selection of vinyls, though you will have to work your way up the career mode to unlock the majority of them.

Had it on disc, but the "install limit" DRM got in the way of that. Waiting for a sale...

Alright, thanks. I always thought Forza Horizon had very realistic driving? Last game I knew was out was #2 though so I'll check out some videos for #3

Thank you, too. Steam is not my only option, but it IS the only platform I intensively use. Never used the Windows Store, for example :P However if I can find games on PC the platform it is on is just a secondary issue. Steam or otherwise, it should be fine. My point is merely that I want to play something on my PC since my 360 is collecting dust and Ive already sold most of its games, including MCLA and other gems.

No customization is a no-go :P

The main Forza series yes. But Horizon is basically like a more arcady spin-off. You can still make it pretty though if you disable all driving aids, but it's a lot more arcady than the main forza series :3 I'm enjoying it a lot.

i would have to say midnight club 3 dub edition. eventhough it is old, it is such a good game.

since its a midnight club, is it comparable to MCLA?

Yeah it is (sorry for repling instead of the original post author, but i just saw the question :D)

Midnight Club 3 was the first midnight club with car customization. HOWEVER it was never released for PC so you'd prolly have to use an emulator or buy it on PS2

There are some drifting games out there with NFS-kinda tuning options.

For example
