Nice thread btw, 64bitmodels . Really like these types of posts.

Re-Volt, Burnout 3 and Motostorm: Pacific Rift are still my racing game "trinity". And yes, I know that they are all arcade racers. Actually Re-Volt is a Mario Kart clone...but the best one.

For more serious racing, I still like to play the first Grid and Project Gotham Racing 4 and Rallisport Challenge 2.

You know i'm something of a Re-Volt fan myself. But i don't play it with powerups on, the physics are the most defining thing about the game for me. Perfect/near flawless driving is encouraged since it's so easy to spin out and lose your control.... especially when controlling such tiny karts.

But i don't play it with powerups on,

Ah, yeah. I went through that phase as well. Now I just enjoy all of it. But I can understand what makes playing without power ups so enticing. (Fuck oil slicks)

ew

6 and 7 are both better than 3/4. 4 comes close though. We need the track creator back though. Why they ditched that after 6 I'll never know.

no.

 

[Unknown?]

no.

Yeah. 3 was a disappointment compared to 2 to me. 2 was just way better and 3 traded cars and tracks for eye candy. 4 redeemed it though and surpassed 2 but 6 had track creators and 7 has the best online racing on console(well Sport started that but Sport wasn't as good). The only thing that sucks about 7 is it's way too easy to get good cars from the start.

 

[64bitmodels]

Yeah.

 

[64bitmodels]

2 was just way better and 3 traded cars and tracks for eye candy.

for eye candy, and better more accurate handling, and less HP restrictions on events, 60fps, a faster, more snappy campaign overall. Yeah i'm fine with the lower number of cars and tracks, here. Not like it was an issue when Sport did the exact same thing for its car and track list as well. The only issue are the dumb roulettes after completing events.

Ain't nobody got time to find the year each game released, but I would put the following in there:

NFS Underground 2
NFS Most Wanted (2005)
Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition
Midnight Club: LA
Burnout Takedown
Burnout Revenge
Forza Motorsport
Sonic Racing Transformed

Why you cutting off the Dreamcast, biatch?! Well, Daytona USA released in Australia in 2002 so there. It might not be the best version of Daytona (though it gets an undeservedly bad rap much like other Dreamcast iterations of games like Virtua Fighter 3tb) but it shits on everything else in here. FU!

Ay, ask Sega that question not me

watched it already because i have no respect for my time.

it's not even the best in the Mario Kart series let alone best racer from the 2000s. It's a good Kart Racer but not that good compared to 64 and DS.
