V Rally was one of the first game of its kind when released on the playstation back in 1997. I remember trying it on a huge 42" rear projection tv in the game store and almost picked up a speeding ticket on my way home lol.
I played the N64 version, completed it with a wobbly (usual N64 analogue issue) stick, thank gawd Vrally is famously slippery, I'd never have had 100%ed a normal rally game without that mechanic, with my knackered controller.
@@fridelikakurnia6477 V Rally 2 was V Rally 99 on N64. The only genuinely good arcade rally racer on the N64. And yes I did 100% it, despite the battery failing when I had the game at 99.8% completion and having to start again. I still have the cart, and the battery is still f*cked. I 100%ed the game with a knackered N64 controller BTW.
I love the recommendations man, I can genuinely feel passion for rally games not like those insufferable DR2 and RBR fanboys. I would add WRC 8 and 7 for may reasons too.
Yes, DR2 and RBR fans are usually very vocal about their preferences...toward other people lol. I mean, if you want the ultimate realism then drive your car outside in the real world ffs. Video games are meant to be fun, whether it's realistic or not.
Wow wow, too much generalizations here. I love realism, but i dont have enough amount of money and time to proper drive it irl (motorsport is hugely expensive), even everyday car maintaining is expensive sh~t. But I have what to say about all of this and for all of this, for everyone: Jimmy Broadbent.
If Colin McRae Rally 2.0 and Dirt 2 are missing on any rally game list, than this list is bad. Best arcade/simcade rally games to this days. Next, completely forgotten gem is Cross Rally Championship 2005 and Rally Championship Xtreme (from RBR team). Appreciate Milestone games on the list, don't understand why their games have constantly bad reviews from critics, players like them.
The first rally game that I played was Network Q RAC Rally Championship, man oh man! How many hours i've spend on this game and loved every single race! Nowdays I still play (a lot) DR2.0.
Fantastic list and video! This will be a huge help as I try and find a few go-to rally games. I like Dirt 4 a lot, wish I liked Dirt 5 more than I do and have only barely played a few of the WRC games so I need to try those more.
Rush Rally 3 on Switch is one of my favourite games of all time. I love everything about it. The fact it’s affordable, runs amazingly as it has nice simple graphics , is portable, full of content and was made by one passionate guy who still updates it.
Two of my favorites which are missing: - Rallisport Challenge 2 - Colin McRae Dirt (original) In both cases the catalogue of cars available and the system is a top to today's standards
The first rally game I played was Colin McRae rally 04, back in 2004. Compared to modern rally games, such as Dirt Rally 2.0 and the WRC games, it's completely different. Yet, it was a lot of fun and quite challenging at the same time. When it comes to handling, you often end up drifting. The car models were great, you could damage them quite a bit, there was no 'fade to black' when you receive terminal damage. Most of the fun went into the championship mode, where you'd unlock stages, events and rare unlockable cars. (Even a meme car, such as the Ford Transit rally van) Group B was still difficult to complete, it's even locked until you complete previous rally stages. If you can get the game to work on your pc, I do recommend it. It's very similar to McRae rally 2005, although it has slight differences.
Isn't it very similar to CMR 05? I also played alot back in the day. Great game, but the physics are a bit strange I have to say. I remember when I first played Richard Burns Rally. The game was insanely hard but so much fun, I was blown away. I still have a physical copy of the game actually.
Game that I sunk the most hours into has to be Colin McRae Rally 2.0 and 3 from the early 2000’s. Knew all those tracks without co-driver. But if the recent titles only Dirt Rally 2.0 is a spiritual successor imo. Hopefully WRC can take over with some love and affection… otherwise fingers crossed for rally evolution.
Rush Rally 3 ... Been a big fan of the series since it launched on mobile. The dev is a cool guy worth supporting too. The driving feel is spot on. Not to be slept on IMO. Good list.
I've been a big fan, too. It blows my mind that the game is on mobile and takes very little storage space. I stopped playing Collin Mcrae 2 with psx emulator after I find Rush Rally on Playstore.
I have another one suggestion because.. looks like literally NOBODY knows about it nowadays, but that one game introduced me into racing games and rally games especially back in the day, in my childhood. I'm talking about "Pro Rally 2001". I even still have original CD! Unfortunately its not running at modern OS's (usually not working even at XP).
If any of those Sega Rally inspired games supports steering wheel I’m set for life :D I have been waiting for so long to replicate that feeling of playing Sega Rally 1 and 2 at the arcades.. what great times!
@@RacingXTV lets hope! Indie racing games seem to forget that aspect, even when they are clearly throwbacks to the arcade hits. It feels weird they leave that out, not even adding it after the release when the community asks for it.
There should be Colin McRae Rally 2.0 and RalliSport Challenge on this list. Imo, those games are fantastic and best arcade style rally games ever made, even though they are over 22 years old.
The real winner is lurking in the shadows.. Dirt Rally 1, detailed stages, amazing sounds, no weird pivot points, VR assistance and amazing graphics for it's time, only downside is the lack of different stages.
Which one has the best cosmetic damage model and the highest tolerance of mechanical damage? I want to break all breakable parts but the car has to be still running. :P
I still enjoy RBR, but my favourite has to be Rally Championship 2000. They were part of my teen years. I do agree about Gravel, though. The crashes definitely remind me of old NFS and Test Drive in how arcade they feel. Most of these games I'll need to wait for sales.
@RacingXTV Always did like the old school games. But, yeah, Gravel reminds me of some old school racing games, especially with the crashes and the lift off.
My favorite is Colin McRae Rally 2.0 on PS1 and PC. I can't tell difference but the PC version is good, meanwhile in PS1 is more challenging opponents.
@@RacingXTV There is a new road FX and it's doing preety good but I didn't play other rally games like rbr or dirt 2 yet so I this is just my thought tho.
For me WRC 9/10/Generations are the peak of Rally games. Are they perfect? No, but the stage design and physics are so good I can easily overlook any shortcomings they might have. Another incredible set of Rally games are WRC 2, 3 and 4 on the Playstation 2.
Are you talking about the voice or the script? Cuz the scripts weren't made by AI, only the voice is AI-generated since it's actually a a clone of my real voice.
Good one, very in depth and taking some other approach than some sim elitist. The only thing I have to disagree is WRC 9. I had lots of fun in WRC 8 but when I played 9, something felt off. Especially with junior cars on some surfaces. I remember a rally where no matter how much gas input I had the wheels kept spinning in place essentially making me unable to move. The rest of the game was pretty ok but because of this I would rather play WRC 8 or even 7.
Every time he chucks a very strange choice into the mix he says, 'Now before you all start yapping'.....nonsense my friend, we're entitled to discuss your picks even if we completely disagree with some of them.
That's why I said 'before you start yapping' instead of 'don't yap in the comment section' because in the end everybody is free to say whatever they have in their mind
The crew motorfest? It literally has one of the best car lineups for rally and rally raid and got maps. The physics is far better the 2 and really fun. Not to mention the grand races for which you choose between 3 car styles in one race.
I was about only including one The Crew game and I think The Crew 2 is better suited, but hey that's just my opinion. Will look into Motorfest more if this list get updated
I've really enjoyed my time on EA WRC, Dirt 2 and Dirt 1. Art of Rally is a good little arcade game with lovely touches and quite tough too. Is the voice over here done by AI? So uninterested. Also am I the only person that doesn't race in behind the car view? I just can't do it. Bumper or Bonnet with in car depending on the game.
Why do you always have to tell me I must play these games in 2024?! You MUST stop telling me to play these games! It IS too much to ask! I do not have time for this! I play what I want, when I want!
@@speedtracker9556 Okay then you win. But you know what? I'll make a list of TOP 25 Racing Games You Should Ignore in 2025, that way you will do as I say. How bout that?
Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure has hardly any "rally" in it, BUT if you want offroad racer with good physics (and Forza physics is IMO as good as arcade games get) and buttload of cars, both this, and regular mixed surface races from main game, is going to deliver
As a long time rally fan and gamer, here is a shortened list of what was said in this video, because some games are repetitive (like putting the 3 last games of the WRC series by KT) so there you go : #DRIVE Gravel Seb Loeb Rally Evo Richard Burns Sega Rally Revo Old School Rally Art of Rally WRC 10 Dirt Rally 2.0 CMR 2005 Games that should have been added to this list : CMR 2.0 WRC 2010 Dirt 1, 2 or 3 Games that have nothing to do here : Mechanic games, parking shit, The Crew, Forza, BeamNG, Assetto Corsa. I don't recommend : V-Rally 4, Dirt 5, Dirt 4 (worst game of the series), Dakar Desert rally (good game but Dakar 18 is probably more immersive, diverse and closer of what a Dakar Game should be, try this one first) Finally, if you go for WRC 10, no need to try 8 or 9 or the oldest WRC from KT Racing, 10 was the peak of the series. Generations is good, not as good as 10 for some reasons but still very enjoyable, only way to test the Rally1 Hybrid Cars within this series (EA WRC is a totally different style of gameplay).
Dirt 4, imperfect and confused as it is, is the only mainline Dirt game worth playing IMO. The rest are at best over rated and at worst are Dirt 5. V-Rally games are for V-Rally fans, 4 is just a continuation. I quite liked V-Rally 99 at the time but the slippery V-Rally physics are not for everyone. Codemasters need to build a new engine, everything they make now suffers from the same basic flaws over and over, the effects and the physics restrictions are starting to make their racers all feel the same regardless of the racing format.
@darthwiizius To me V-Rally 4 was just another rally game with rallycross and other disciplines, like Dirt 1, 2, 3 but with much less ambitions, and not as original and unique as Gravel, also can feel like Seb Rally Evo but doesnt have the Loeb stamp and special content on it. Felt miles away from the original V-Rally series although I do understand the game is appreciated by many, I had moments I like on it (+ one of the rare rally games avaible on Switch so kudos on this one, good to get on Switch). However regarding Dirt 4 I really disagree, the game has no identity, feels flat and boring, and it's not as sim as Dirt Rally 2.0, but still wants to look as serious as Dirt 2.0. Dirt 5 is over the top and feels like a cheap copy of Dirt 1,2 and 3 but at least it got its own style. Dirt 4 really feels like a a stranger both towards the Dirt and the Dirt Rally series...
@@evanalary3754 Dirt 4 was damaged by Codemasters trying to force in some "sim" elements to arcade handling. On one hand you get the arcade flow then on the other you have to slow down, it's completely confused. That said I still prefer it over the rest of the Dirt games. I don't count Dirt Rally/2.0 as parts of the franchise. I do have Gravel but it's in my racing to play list.
@darthwiizius Cool for Gravel hope you will like it was really a great surprise to me. To end on Dirt 4 I get what you're saying and it's like the main problem with this game to me. Gotta day I'm surprise you're the first person I see saying they prefer Dirt 4 over the 1 2 or 3 😅
The new ea sports WRC is good when and if you can get it to run. EA broke it with the 1.9 update and havent really fixed it since. it blue screens my computer every time i run it and the moments glitch out and wont save your time to the leaderboard. i wouldn't recommend buying it until it gets fixed properly
Gravel is a lot like DiRT 5, but better. So I'd recommend it over Codemaster's alternative. Never played V-Rally 4, but I enjoyed the second game. Was put off from getting it because of the mixed reviews on Steam, unless someone can help me change my mind.
@@RacingXTVFr Gravel is fun but imho it feels like a severely watered down motorstorm with licensed vehicles whereas Dirt 5 feels like a legit premium game
I would also add Dirt Rally 1 (amazing game but could have more stages) and wreckfest (maybe not rally, but if You mentioned dirt 5 and gravel so why not wreckfest?;)). I would also add that v-rally 4 is really decent with proper wheel and feels similar to WRC series (which is not surprise cause they made by same developer) but you need probably to change linearity in settings.
maybe I missed it but dirt rally 1 is also a good rally game because its the only game you can drive pikes peak. And one more good rally game is wrc rally evolved. A ps2 game also playable with a ps2 emulator on PC is one of my favorite rally games. I have a video of it on my channel.
WRC8 is better than WRC9. I'd also add Baja Edge of Control for xbox360, xb1 & PS4, has rubber band AI tho so don't upgrade or your make the AI work harder. 😉
I don't understand why they cant add a mode to rally games where the AI cars will go out staggered. So far the only game ive play that has this is Baja Edge of Control HD. Basically each AI cars rolls out one by one and you follow them.
dirt 5 is best, 4 local players can't beat that can't tell you how much fun I have with my friends every day, WRC dirt rally more realistic good games...
sebastien loeb has a few stages i cant find elsewhere. vrally 4 takes understeer to roll the over you feelingvlucky? wrc 5 wants the widest turn with just enough braking to not bump into the exit. i love rally. the Nordschleife has nothing on these stages.
The only most fun rally game is the wrc evolved on ps2 , every time that you start the championship mode there is new "random accident" the bad is that every rally has only 3 stages and not SSS like in the wrc4
All the clips used in this video are linked in the description. Go check them out!
And this list isn't in any particular order, just so you know.
Yes good but more arcady than dirt one, I find dirt one more realistic
Colin McRae 2.0 is still my go-to rally game
Damn you must have grandkids by now LOL
ruclips.net/video/V7yvyOIL1CU/видео.htmlsi=UK-t0Ymk6GdyC3aW
A good selling point for DIRT 4 is that you can create your own stages with the procedual generated tracks, so it has a better replay value
Thanks for information!
the stages are though very repetative. i just hope one day we can create our own stages based on Google Maps or something. Just like Fligh Simulator.
Calm down😂 it's just a headline
been really enjoying sebastien loeb rally evo. its often on sale 90% off, its totally worth it.
Yeah, good old games are the true hidden gems, as they're usually very cheap
Agree I find it's physics are very good. Very overlooked simulator.

DiRT 4 and Rally 2.0 are still very enjoyable till today.
It's going to be great for the next 10 years I think
I wonder which one of these would play best with a gamepad.. I'm often too lazy to setup steering wheel lol
Forza Horizon 5, The Crew 2, and DiRT 5
@@RacingXTV thanks! I kinda don't want to buy any of these though because they are from (imho) bad corporations.. looking more towards indie games :)
WRC 9 and 10 are basically expansion packs for WRC 8 released as full games instead.
Interesting take...
Where i can play Colin McRae Rally 2005 on pc ?
Find it on abandonware websites
What's the track mod in Assetto Corsa part? Thankx for feedback

Forza Horizon 5: Rally Adventure has hardly any "rally" in it, BUT if you want offroad racer with good physics (and Forza physics is IMO as good as arcade games get) and buttload of cars, both this, and regular mixed surface races from main game, is going to deliver
Yes, it's as realistic as Crash Team Racing, but it's very fun.
My bad, great video.
All good
Wow, I can't believe I have almost every game on this list. I'm only missing Art of Rally.
Damn you really like rally games apparently
As a long time rally fan and gamer, here is a shortened list of what was said in this video, because some games are repetitive (like putting the 3 last games of the WRC series by KT) so there you go :
#DRIVE
Gravel
Seb Loeb Rally Evo
Richard Burns
Sega Rally Revo
Old School Rally
Art of Rally
WRC 10
Dirt Rally 2.0
CMR 2005
Games that should have been added to this list :
CMR 2.0
WRC 2010
Dirt 1, 2 or 3
Games that have nothing to do here : Mechanic games, parking shit, The Crew, Forza, BeamNG, Assetto Corsa.
I don't recommend : V-Rally 4, Dirt 5, Dirt 4 (worst game of the series), Dakar Desert rally (good game but Dakar 18 is probably more immersive, diverse and closer of what a Dakar Game should be, try this one first)
Finally, if you go for WRC 10, no need to try 8 or 9 or the oldest WRC from KT Racing, 10 was the peak of the series. Generations is good, not as good as 10 for some reasons but still very enjoyable, only way to test the Rally1 Hybrid Cars within this series (EA WRC is a totally different style of gameplay).
Thanks for watching
Dirt 4, imperfect and confused as it is, is the only mainline Dirt game worth playing IMO. The rest are at best over rated and at worst are Dirt 5. V-Rally games are for V-Rally fans, 4 is just a continuation. I quite liked V-Rally 99 at the time but the slippery V-Rally physics are not for everyone. Codemasters need to build a new engine, everything they make now suffers from the same basic flaws over and over, the effects and the physics restrictions are starting to make their racers all feel the same regardless of the racing format.
@darthwiizius To me V-Rally 4 was just another rally game with rallycross and other disciplines, like Dirt 1, 2, 3 but with much less ambitions, and not as original and unique as Gravel, also can feel like Seb Rally Evo but doesnt have the Loeb stamp and special content on it. Felt miles away from the original V-Rally series although I do understand the game is appreciated by many, I had moments I like on it (+ one of the rare rally games avaible on Switch so kudos on this one, good to get on Switch). However regarding Dirt 4 I really disagree, the game has no identity, feels flat and boring, and it's not as sim as Dirt Rally 2.0, but still wants to look as serious as Dirt 2.0. Dirt 5 is over the top and feels like a cheap copy of Dirt 1,2 and 3 but at least it got its own style. Dirt 4 really feels like a a stranger both towards the Dirt and the Dirt Rally series...

Dirt 4 was damaged by Codemasters trying to force in some "sim" elements to arcade handling. On one hand you get the arcade flow then on the other you have to slow down, it's completely confused. That said I still prefer it over the rest of the Dirt games. I don't count Dirt Rally/2.0 as parts of the franchise. I do have Gravel but it's in my racing to play list.
@darthwiizius Cool for Gravel hope you will like it was really a great surprise to me. To end on Dirt 4 I get what you're saying and it's like the main problem with this game to me. Gotta day I'm surprise you're the first person I see saying they prefer Dirt 4 over the 1 2 or 3 😅
Not that much of a hardcore sim fan. What are the best arcade rally games out of those on this list?
DiRT 5 would be great if you want something modern
6:53 God damn Discord notification!
Lol
WRC7 is my favorite
It's a great game!
The new ea sports WRC is good when and if you can get it to run. EA broke it with the 1.9 update and havent really fixed it since. it blue screens my computer every time i run it and the moments glitch out and wont save your time to the leaderboard. i wouldn't recommend buying it until it gets fixed properly
Damn, so sad...
everything EA touches dies
@@rickyspanish4792 unfortunately you are correct. also love your work if youre the same ricky that is heavily involved with hacks/calderbank 👍
@@mikel6989 I'm afraid I'm another Ricky! I'm a game dev!
Gravel is a lot like DiRT 5, but better. So I'd recommend it over Codemaster's alternative.
Never played V-Rally 4, but I enjoyed the second game. Was put off from getting it because of the mixed reviews on Steam, unless someone can help me change my mind.
You're the first one to say that Gravel is better than DiRT 5
@@RacingXTV Not true. I've seen someone do a comparison of the two games, and they've said Gravel is better.
@@RacingXTVFr Gravel is fun but imho it feels like a severely watered down motorstorm with licensed vehicles whereas Dirt 5 feels like a legit premium game
Speach pattern reminds me of MVG
Modern Vintage Gamer?
How about WRC games from PS2?
This channel focuses on games that are available on modern platforms, so all PS2-exclusive games, no matter how great they are, are not here
I would also add Dirt Rally 1 (amazing game but could have more stages) and wreckfest (maybe not rally, but if You mentioned dirt 5 and gravel so why not wreckfest?;)). I would also add that v-rally 4 is really decent with proper wheel and feels similar to WRC series (which is not surprise cause they made by same developer) but you need probably to change linearity in settings.
Wreckfest just doesn't seems that 'rally' in my opinion, it's just a wreck...fest *ba dum tsssss*
How good does Richard Burns Rally still look ..
With mods a lot of things can happen
I own 17 Games of them 😊
😧😧😧
maybe I missed it but dirt rally 1 is also a good rally game because its the only game you can drive pikes peak.
And one more good rally game is wrc rally evolved.
A ps2 game also playable with a ps2 emulator on PC is one of my favorite rally games. I have a video of it on my channel.
Rally Evolved is a great game!
Sega Rally❤
❤❤❤
Over Jump Rally isn't even out yet though? At least on Steam.
It was just announced if I remember correctly
WRC8 is better than WRC9. I'd also add Baja Edge of Control for xbox360, xb1 & PS4, has rubber band AI tho so don't upgrade or your make the AI work harder. 😉
I kinda hate rubber band AI, that makes upgrading kinda pointless
Richard Burns rally is the best
It's a great game!
which better between WRC 7,8,9,10 or generation ?
I played all of them. Just buy generations. It's the most complete WRC game.
Generations
Richard burns also has in ps2
Yes, but since this channel only focuses on modern platforms, I didn't mentioned it.
I'm added to this list Dirt 1 and CMR 2.0
Great games but CMR 2.0 is too old otherwise it'd be here
I don't understand why they cant add a mode to rally games where the AI cars will go out staggered. So far the only game ive play that has this is Baja Edge of Control HD. Basically each AI cars rolls out one by one and you follow them.
Now that's a good feature to add in future games, especially the DiRT or WRC sereis
dirt 5 is best, 4 local players can't beat that can't tell you how much fun I have with my friends every day, WRC dirt rally more realistic good games...
Damn, 4 local players is where the fun begins!
Wrc 4 emulado. Increible juego. Hasta en el movil lo puedes jugar.
¡Gracias por compartir!
13:14 is this 2024 one?
The game? The game was released in 2023
@@RacingXTV now its "ea sports wrc 24" due to a new expansion dlc released thus the question is this 2024 one
Why I cant buy Over Jump Rally on Steam in Poland?
The game isn't released yet LOL, it's an upcoming game, sorry for the confusion
sebastien loeb has a few stages i cant find elsewhere. vrally 4 takes understeer to roll the over you feelingvlucky? wrc 5 wants the widest turn with just enough braking to not bump into the exit. i love rally. the Nordschleife has nothing on these stages.
Damn you are a rally fan!
Richard burns è ancora il re ❤
❤❤❤
❤CMR 2.0❤
Damn you're definitely not a Gen Z 😂😂
@RacingXTV sure, i'm millennial :)
Mobil 1 Rally Championship....
Damn that's old
Where Is WRC rally evolved?😍😍
This channel focuses on games that are available on modern platforms, so it's not here sadly
Dirt 4 is class
Yes
Dirt rally 1 for me is the most chellenging, more that dirt rally 2.0
Really? Maybe because when you play Dirt Rally 2.0 you already has some experience
OLD SCHOOL RALLY on Steam
It's only 10 bucks!
The only most fun rally game is the wrc evolved on ps2 , every time that you start the championship mode there is new "random accident" the bad is that every rally has only 3 stages and not SSS like in the wrc4
Are you a 90s kid?
@@RacingXTV yes
