PS3 or Xbox 360 - best unrealistic flying or driving game...

Which doesn't involve a huge range of controls, doesn't require extra equipment and allows pretty much free movement around city/ country?

It must have stunning visuals though. For my Mum who wants to just fly/drive around from her armchair and enjoy the view! So no accurate SIMS required!

GTA San Andreas. Flying, driving, and murdering prostitutes.

test drive unlimited 2 - have a good cruise around Ibiza.
the first TDUnlimted was around Hawaii
blast the motorways weaving through traffic at 180mph or just hit the twisties.. its all great fun.
not really a game you'd play for hours on end but i quite enjoy sticking on some tunes and having a bit of a drive.

Thanks! That's probably the sort of thing she'd like.

The PC used to have 'Flight Unlimited' years ago - I wonder if that's still around?

yeah im not sure about flying games.
if you have both xbox and ps3 i'd deffo get it on the xbox, the radio stations in the game are fairly limited and with the xbox you can play your own tunes (i use AirMusic app on iphone) at the same time as playing the game whilst still having the nice background noise of your car banging the limiter!.. but on the ps3 you cant play (unless this game is different from other ps3 games i've tried) your own music and play games at the same time..

Nordschleife is quite picturesque on Need For Speed Shift2 Unlimited....and exciting on the night race

HAWX 2 on either is very unrealistic AIUI.
