My Summer Car although the map is basically just a big circle. I wouldn't really recommend Interstate 82 for your purposes because the maps are MUCH smaller, more death match oriented.) I76 has a great free roam mode with surprisingly big maps for that era. HT2 allows you to drive a smaller van and i think maybe cheat to get a car. If you're into trying some 90s or 00s retro, you can pick up Interstate '76 or Hard Truck 2 for cheap. On the other hand, Mafia DE's are awesome.) Test Drive Unlimited if either one is still available and works offlineĪny Mafia or GTA series game (If you are willing to get through a lot of story before you can really free roam - And, if you are into aimless countryside driving, I can really only recommend GTA San Andreas the original version, not the Definitive Edition.

And, it was nice to drive on the right side again finally.) Also 5 scratches my desert itch so I don't feel the need to go back to Australia again. 4 and 5, on the other hand, feel more filled out and alive. It didn't feel like there was anywhere to go to. 3 is great for racing and hooning around, but, i found the map kind of disappointing for exploration. You can even design your own car in a different game (Automation) and import it into Beam and drive it!Īny forza horizon game (I can only vouch for 1, 4, and 5 for this purpose.

Also tons of 3rd party maps and vehicles. Lots of little details everywhere.) It also has the bonus that If you get the right controller it can realistically train you how to drive clutch (Although personally I would strongly recommend you do this on a real vehicle). Beamng (Map size is not huge by today's AAA standards, but it is a driving simulator with regular cars and trucks and performance mods if you choose, and the maps are basically designed for the purpose you described.
