Is there a better Rally racing simulation than Richard Burns Rally? I'm looking for a simulation, not the arcade crap called Colin Mcrae Rally.

Thanks,

Just bought DiRT a couple days ago. It's hard. I'm just going to pay for the codes to unlock every course. Don't have time/ patience to play all those races! Do you use a controller? or keyboard for races. I'm using a keyboard for now. Any rec. for a controller?

Keyboard makes all of these racing games disasterous. I've got a Logitech Driving Force Pro steering wheel set to 181 degrees of turning (900 is horrible for rally). I bought mine off ebay for around 71 dollars after shipping, not too bad. It runs nice. If you get a steering wheel, a must is force feedback. If a steering wheel doesn't have force feedback, you lose like 70% of the fun. You might as well just play with a controller.

Anyway, I think Richard Burns Rally is better than DiRT. DiRT has good graphics, but the physics feels so unrealistic. If you play Richard Burns, you'd know what I'm talking about. The cars movements are more realistic and believeable and predictable, but the graphics are pretty dated =( . If the demo is anything like the retail game, I just could not race on those dirt tracks. I would go maybe 60 kmph and hit the ebrake or hit my brake to start the drift, but the car drifts so little... on gravel...... I always ended up coming up short and gaining traction in the middle of a turn. Maybe I had to tweak the car or something? or I'm playing it wrong? I've watched enough videos and studied rally racing enough to figure the physics in Richard Burns Rally is quite close to reality. I'm just kinda looking for something with Richard Burns Rally's physics and the graphics of DiRT... or... atleast.... something better than RBR.
