NFS 2 underground was pretty good, carbon city is okay, prostreet gets a little better, I tried the fast&furious tokyo drift.........that one sucked balls.

Forza 2!!!, set you car up to drift turn your sway bars 3/4 to the stiffest setting, change your shock settings...practice

You guys are all funny, the best game to Drift is Ridge Racer.

I haven't really played another racing game that came near Live for Speeds level.

Plus you can add cones and obsticals for tracks, or build one in the autox parks.I only ever played 3 cars in GT anyways :D

Well I've seen actually two or three copies of tokyo extreme drift or whatever its called. I dunno if that's whatcha talkin bout....If you want ill get you a copy. Its like 3 or 4 bux....and ill put it in my ps3 to see if it works. Sometimes them used games end up sucking, scratches and all.

About drifting, I've played and own nfs carbon, prot street, juiced 2, gt3, gt4, gt5 prologue, and ridge racer demo.

Easiest to drift is either carbon, or ridge racer, and porbabl, no most definately, thee weakest games ever to drift in.

Then comes juiced 2. I'm sorry I ever bought that game, but I do like most race games and decided to try it. It never finds its way back in my ps3.

Now protstreet is okay. I've played nfs before the rice. When the only good race games(my opinion) on the ps1 were gt and nfs hot pursuit. It was fun. But now with ProStreet, I guess you can say they somewhat graduated, I guess from underground, and a big difference from carbon wich was the first release on the ps3. But the drifting in it is somewhat realistic. Somwhat. That's all. Its entertaining.

Gt3 I've never really tried drfiting before. Gt4 I messed a around a little bit today on the fuji course. Like stated before, turn the traction and oversteer all the way down and the undsteer where you're comfortable with it, its perfect. Just need some tuning on the suspension, and you're good.

My long .02....sorry for the massively long post...

Same as always, though I haven't been on in a bit. I just play random times....When I play games Ive been playing San Andreas lately...and I must say I kick *** at drifting in that :P

Seriously though...do they even make a decent wheel for xbox? Thats pretty much how you can tell any racing game is gonna fail...when you cant even use a good wheel. GT4 you can use the wheel....but their force feedback just feels terrible and numb.

DFP or better with wing man drivers on PC, with everything turned off but with "overall effect strength" turned to just over 100, and LFS is pretty amazing.

The demo is free, and if you need help getting the wheel setup on your computer post here and I'll help.

forza is easy at drifting and i can teach anyone who wants to learn. and i can tune cars for drifting. takes about a month or 2 to get it down but its fun.

also AWD is power slideing only RWD is drifting.

AWD and FWD are automatic fails for forza drifting.NFS drifting is fail to.

I want to ask YOU what the difference of 'drifting' and 'powersliding'. You can still drift with AWD just not long drifts.

I'd say GT4. I've found that I can drift just about anything with that Logitec wheel.

A mid-90's Impreza or Evolution with sim tires and all TCS/ASM off = FUN. Who needs super high horsepower cars.

I find the easiest game to drift in (other than games like Carbon and Prostreet) is Forza 2. But to me, the physics don't feel nearly as realistic as the GT series, especially GT5 Prologue.

do you drift AWD in real life, know the difference?

go to forzadrift.com and tell people that you "drift" AWD and see what they tell you.

No I have never drifted a AWD in real life, and I don't care what really anyone says, and i'm not trying to be rude, but the definition of a drift is when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle and usually the wheels are pointed the opposite direction to the turn and while in a foward motion. You cant tell me an AWD isn't capable of doing some type of drifting.

^actually powerslide hahahbut no awd doesnt really drift cause it still has a small amount of traction in the drive wheels (front) the back can break yes cause usually stock awd is about a 35/65 ratio to the rear cept for subies they are about 50/50 i think

I'm at a loss. Unless someone has some textbook definition of drifting written by an organization like Formula Drift or something, drifting to me is defined as (basically) a controlled loss of traction in cornering to attain the greatest degree of a sideways (90 degree) angle. Powersliding is one of many techniques used to do this. I'm going to be as bold as to say that ALL driveline types (FWD, RWD, AWD) are able to drift, but the technique that the driver uses and the length of time the drift can be held changes. RWDs obviously have the greatest versatility and control in drifting, with AWDs trailing behind (Depending on how they're tuned. AWDs can quickly become RWDs.) and FWDs are the least controllable in drifting (Which is why they're never used). The only way to throw a FWD into a drift is by powersliding or by drastically shifting the weight of the car around to make it lose traction in the rear. It's tendency to understeer makes it incredibly difficult. Though after a couple of turns on a competition track, I would imagine this would have most drivers in a wall or somewhere off of the track.

P.S. NFS sucks for drifting. It's fun because it's outrageously easy. Gran Turismo 5 or Forza 2 will make you sweat but it's worth it.

Ok yah I know you can change tehm to rear wheel drive but that one still looks like it is AWD to me, but what is the difference between a powerslide and a drift?

And I got that definition from wikipedia lol, but you said pretty much what I was trying to, I think AWD are capable of doing drifts just not as long as a RWD vehicle.
