Underrated Racing Games ????
« on: December 12, 2013, 04:22:01 AM »
I really like racing games. Looking for a few of the more obscure games that I may have missed that were good.  Or maybe ones that never got a release in North America. Thought I'd ask and see if anyone has some good ones that were simply never got the credit they deserved. 

Thanks in Advance.

If you never grabbed it, Split/Second is pretty awesome.

No, but I don't actually own a PS3 or MS system yet. I'm probably going to pick up a PS3 sometime soon to play some of the games I missed out in the last gen though.

For parties, Micro Machines on the PSOne is probably the most fun you'll have if you are doing gaming.  I also love the Ridge Racer series.  It's an "ARCADE" racer not a realistic sim.  When people get past it and realize this they will enjoy it.  It is a total non realistic, but fun racing series.  If you are a fan of the RC Pro Am game you'll love Rock n' Roll Racing on the SNES, Genesis, and GBA.  I prefer the SNES version.

Was Scud Race ever released on console?  Daytona 2000 for DC is very nice, along with F355 Challenge.  F355 does have a steep lurning curve though.

I liked Super GT in the arcade, only got pay it a handful of times though.  Night Driver is a game I've played on the PC.

Love racing games and I am actually good at them.

I am with geise on ridge racer,.....and you can take your pick from ps1 up to ps3.. Always good fun, with the original ps1 ridge racer you play a short board of Galaga before the game starts and if you clear the board you get bonus cars :) honestly try ridge racer there all good. Also one of the best handling car games is Driver and Driver 2 for the ps1.. Peel outs, hand braking you will have a lot of fun plus it has a survivor mode against cops... Try lasting more then 2 minutes :P

My friend and I sure did play a lot of Kyle Petty's No Fear Racing on SNES back in the day...  though we might've just been idiots.

Top Gear Racing was the other game of the era we play a lot of.

I think racing is a genre that really improves with technology though, so I recommend picking up a current gen system and playing the more recent Forza games.  Gran Turismo 3 was my favorite in that series, since it seems you have a PS2.  Project Gotham Racing was always solid on the XB360 too.

I also loved the Ivan Ironman Stewart / RC Pro AM / Motoroader types of games, but I don't think you are looking for those.

haven't played a ridge racer game in forever, don't remember much about them, those seem like some games i'll need to pick up soon.

Also glad I got some current gen suggestions, hopefully when I grab one I'll try out some of those.

Thank so far guys.

Again, Split/Second. Seriously, not many racers better then this game. Its arcade style, but very engaging and you have to do a lot of planning in advance for how you handle to race courses and other cars. You can bring the environment, along with even a plane, down on enemy racers, and when I say enemy I do mean enemy. No one is friendly, consider them all out to kill you.
