Where do I start? It's the racing game to end all racing games. If you gave this game HD graphics and put it on PS3, it would be better than Gran Turismo 5.
This game introduced me to PC sim racing. I didn't know it at the time, but I would never find a game as truly amazing as this one in terms of the modding community. Every imaginable type of racing was created as a mod for this game. It was glorious.
I will fight anyone who doesn't like this game. Let's go. You and me, right now. If I was suddenly hit with a serious case of amnesia, the joy of experiencing this game for the first time all over again would be the silver lining. (Actually, who am I kidding? There are lots of things that I would like to forget. Can I get some amnesia pills over here?)
It's the Gran Turismo or Forza of the N64. It's so good that it holds up to this day. I actually played the whole way through it just last year. The graphics still look good, and the car handling ranges from challenging to superb, depending on the car you choose.
If you want multiplayer sim racing, this is where you go. It's subscription-based, but don't hold that against it too much.
If there's anything bad about this game, it's that there weren't more multiplayer activities. But it's a true masterpiece in terms of doing what an open-world driving game should: making you want to drive around just for the fun of it.
The damage modeling and wide range of event types made this demo-derby racing game impossible to stop playing. I think I beat it three times, and it's a pretty long career mode. Also, figure-8 racing never gets old.
Sprint Cars are wild. Take the horsepower of a NASCAR engine and put it into a small cage with a giant wing and crazy tires, then set it loose on a track made of slippery dirt. There's nothing else like it. This game captures that experience.
The most realistic rally game ever made, and the hardest as a result. Truly a joy once you get past the learning curve.
Two cities, cool cars, and tons of style. Plus there was a mode that had you doing movie stunts and driving over big jumps.
