Retarded Racing Game Designers

[lucid]

Alright, so I'm browsing the Xbox Marketplace for a couple of games because I have 50usd and a lot of the games are only 15usd even thought they are relatively new games. In particular, I'm looking for a racing game for me and my girlfriend to play together. In doing so I discovered something that I find to be absolutely fucking retarded.

Most racing games don't support 2 player vs.

This concept is completely fucking stupid to me. Why the fuck would you design a racing game that doesn't allow racing against a friend? If anything, racing games are the one genre I would imagine that would have EVERY game allow 2 player local vs. Seriously.

So, because I don't want to waste money and make a mistake buying a racing game that doesn't allow 2 player split screen vs. I figured I'd ask in our gaming section.

Criteria for the type of game I'm looking for:

- Detailed car customization
- Free roam
- The one criterion I've been bitching about this whole time.

Thanks.

One of the Need for Speed Underground games would be good. But idk if they have ported them or not since they where first gen.

I don't think they have and I was looking for something a little newer. I was hoping for NFS Carbon but I don't think it has 2 player.

EDIT: I've been browsing around and although the Xbox marketplace claims that it has no local multiplayer capabilities, forums of people asking the same question seem to say that while the menu isn't very intuitive, the option for a 2 player offline race is indeed there.

The game is only 15usd. I think I'm going for it.
