MINIs in PC or XBOX 360 driving games?

I just picked up an XBOX 360 last week and the driving games in HD are phenomenal!! Does anyone know if there are any games that have the MINI Cooper as one of the cars?
I have Need For Speed Unleashed on XBOX 360. WOW.

I ran a MINI on the 360 at a demo station yesterday. Can't remember the title for sure, but it was GF or something like that.

Forza motorsports should have one, but even if it doesnt, you should still get it. oh by the way, it's not a 360 game, yet.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't Project Gotham Racing that I was playing. I'm a relative newbie to gameboxes and such. But Forza rings a bell.

So it wasn't an XBOX 360 I was playing yesterday. Sorry to add to the confusion.

I was playing a PDA racing game that had a MINI on monster truck wheels...car had really high handling rating, not as much speed, and had nitro and weapons. Go figure.

PGR2 has the MINI. I think you can play that game on the 360.

I was so in hopes of importing my Classic Mini from GT3 to GT4. Allas, can't be done. At least I can't do it...

And Gran Turismo 4 is now a PS2 "Greatest Hits" game, only $20 if anybody wants to get it now that it's not 50 bucks.

GTL is the only PC game I know to have a Mini, but it doesn't have a MINI unless you can download and install one from a freeware site.

I drove the Mk. V GTI on GT4 for aquite awhile... never even noticed they HAD the Mini. I'll have to unearth that game again. I spend all my time in Need For Speed: Most Wanted these days...

THAT'S the XBOX360 game I have: "Need For Speed Most Wanted." I was originally thinking of my old PC game "NFS: Porsche Unleashed"... ah, my aging brain.
So NEW MINIs are in Grand Turismo 4? I'll see if it's on XBOX.
Thanks!

Indeed. Gran Tourismo 4 for PS2 has Mini's. GT4 is also the only game to support 1080i using PS2's software support.

The PS2 can do 1080i?!?!

Yes. Yes it can.

I just found out that they are releasing the MINI CooperS for PGR3 very soon. The cost for the MINI is only 60 units. Can't wait!!
