Alright since all of these games cost $20 and look pretty good which one should I buy?
1. Driver: San Francisco
I played some of this game back at my cousins house and I think it looks great. Liked the way of changing the cars and the variety.
2. Burnout: Paradise
I heard the Burnout series was pretty good and this game had a good sense of speed. It's missing Big Surf Island but there is a mod that replaces it with stunning accuracy.
3. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
The ability to change as a police officer is well done with the open world environment. The cars are highly detailed with a decent sense of speed.
According to steam here are my system requirements:

I have no idea what the PC Specs mean other than OS, video card and processor. Sorry for the pagestretch.

I've never played Driver, but I've played the other two. Burnout Paradise was by far my favorite

can't tell from your specs but if the computer is from this decade it should be able to run it lol

Burnout Paradise was by far my favorite
same

i haven't played NFS but driver is pretty fun until you finish the game, then it becomes pretty bland. there's no replay value in driver because it's more linear than the others (i think.) i'll give it the benefit of the doubt by saying some of the cars are fun to drive- especially the drift ones. drifting is pretty satisfying in driver.

burnout paradise is fun as balls. i can play it over and over again without getting bored. all the events are gr8. basically, get burnout.

i have driver san francisco on steam and uplay ruins it unless you can fix it
it's pretty bland tbh near the endgame. it barely takes anything to run, hell my pc can get 60fps on it

Burnout Paradise is a good game, but doesn't come near 3 or Revenge in terms of goodness. Still a solid game though and goes on sale for pretty cheap nowadays. Can't vouch for the other two because I've never played them.

Does anyone have a opinion on NFS Hot Pursuit

now heres something relevant: the scores!1

Driver: San Francisco


Burnout: Paradise


Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

Burnout Paradise without a doubt.

Big Rigs Over the Road Racing

Don't get Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. Severely disappointing.

here's something else you should consider

Alright so I bought burnout Paradise and I'm wondering for any other recommendations
