I've reposted this because all the computer gee....errr...boffins are probably at the PC World sale:
Thinking of buying myself a PS2 this week and Argos have a package with steering wheel etc. and choice of 2 games for a reasonable price.
I want a driving game to start with and the choice is either Driv3r, GTA Vice or Colin McCrae's 2005 Rally.
Which one of the above should I go for? I have heard Gran Turismo 4 is ace but I'll buy that seperately.
Any help/advice/ would be appreciated (apart from the kind that goes: "Wait for PS3/ buy an X Box etc." )
Cheers, Tony.

GTA Vice city isnt really a driving game, but it is probably the best game out for the ps2

Colin McRae is pretty realistic, apparently. Never played that version though.

personally I'd buy an XBox 360 over a PS2 as it's simply the mutts nuts!

A mate was showing me around his last night and the way it works with Media Center, the internet etc is superb. The games don't look that great, but that was partially down to the way he had it hooked up to his PC monitor.

If you can get your hands on a X-Box 360...

So.... GTA VC won't work with a wheel and it's not really a driving game as mentioned. It is the best game though.

I thought Driv3r was rubbish, so get Colin Mcrae.

another vote for McRae. only played it on xbox not ps2, but I found it very good. nice variety of cars/rallies/stages, and decent realism.
