In racing games the mouse is seldom used. From my childhood, I have been playing such racing games in keyboards. So it is kind of my personal preference to play racing games in PC. Nothing to do with real life racing. Lol ๐ Edited July 24, 2021 by Razor1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could imagine the situation to steer a car with the help of mouse.ย ๐ That's why I think in the next generation of such racing games, developers have disabled the option to steer the car with the mouse. ๐ Family sedan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, don't they even crash people out of the race even now too ๐. It's something that is very common in all racing games.

When you will bash by your car's back boot, the opponent is more prone to get damaged. That's what I learnt from NFS most wanted. ๐ Heatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specially I love it while playing Most Wanted, pushing some nitro along with applying handbrakes really gives amazing drifting experience. Since you have played Most Wanted, you would probably know how it feels. ๐ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
