IGN Review Scores For Racing Games Make NO Sense

- IGN is a major player in the game review scene. Despite that, they often fall under scrutiny by the gaming community for their review scores. How did IGN rate various racing games? We are taking a look at their very own Top 100 ranking of racing games.

List of red flags:
Narcissism
Doesn’t like my friends
Distrustfulness
Takes IGN as gospel
So its fine if im a nazi
Also doesn't think that the Golf is better.
@@CyanRooper
And if they deny that Yugo is better. RUN AWAY
anyone who uses an IGN score or review to recommend or not recommend a game is an immediate red flag and you should call the psych ward on them for their own safety.
1: sure 2: maybe you got shit friends 3: Refer to #1 4: IGN does not even think their word is true
I think they backed themselves into a corner with forza especially. The games kept being 'more' so they got higher and higher scores almost out of obligation, irrelevant to whether they actually got better.
They fh5 10 meanwhilenit doesn't deserve 10 out of 10. its for me is 8. forza horizon 4 is 9.5 and better gane than fh5.
@@bigsmoke5814 fh3 is a 10 fh4 is 7 and fh5 is 6.5
All of them are extremely overrated except for the first one, which is underrated. People like to pretend like their first FH is the best one but honestly, if it wasn't FH1 then its the same game as all the rest. I own and have played all of them. If you've played FH5 you've played FH2 because it's the same game but with less features and a much more annoying open world experience. If they made a FH that included every previous map there would be no reason to play any FH 2-5.
@@cjskater2006 yeah i heard lot of people even youtubers.saying that the first fh is so much better than what we have now.
I feel like the game hasn't gotten better, just bigger. they do however keep giving FIFA the same score, despite it having the same thing to it
Imagine listening to IGN
Luke Reilly though😢
Imagine if someone in this world does in the past.
I Guess Not (geddit?)
Even if you don’t, thousands of people unfortunately do. And that can be deadly for smaller studios.
or any other major reviewers...
Just judge the games yourself
In defense of F355 there was almost nothing really like it. And the arcade cabinet was a a full sim with FFB.
F355 is a seriously underrated game. It's super fun, not many racing games in the arcade actually tried some simulation stuff aside from the odd... you know. Hard Drivin'. Blegh.
F355 Challenge had a generous amount of tracks for a Dreamcast racing game (eleven, albeit one was just a "short" version of Suzuka obviously using a different configuration of the same map as the full Suzuka and the Fiorano test circuit was time-trial only). It's still one of my favourite racing games from the "turn of the millennium" era. Granted, it only had one car but when that car is a Ferrari, a game only having one car isn't so bad (and that's one more Ferrari than Gran Turismo had up until the PS3).
I adore the F355 arcade cabinet, so much fun
I am old enough to be slightly offended by his lack of knowledge about 355 Challenge. This was THE Racing Sim. We drove for hours to get to an arcade hall that had the good 355 cabinet with 3 screens. Then the comments about Micro Machines on Gameboy. Dustin has no conception of what that era was like. Which is fair because how would he, he wasn't there.
"Need for Speed Prostreet just has a 7"
You have to remember that Prostreet received mixed reviews when it came out unlike the previous games. Some liked it while others didn't. The Xbox 360 version in particular was hated because it had microtransactions (yes, microtransactions in 2007) where you could buy cars and upgrades using Microsoft Points (look them up).
I remember, also remember the Wii version being better
@Hamisxa You might be looking through rose-tinted glasses
If only we could have kept up that mindset...
Well, I mean I did, not just microtransactions, but any game that even includes them! But the general public didn't. Only game I even own with microtransactions is GTA V, but I don't actually play it, it just came with my PS3.
"Too much racing"
Score 7,8
IGN moment
the crew 7.8 "map too small"
My feeling has always been 'don't take review publications seriously'.
Its hard to trust sources when it comes from multiple members who share differing opinions, but still treat it as if its the website as a whole. Thus resulting in many.. *questionable* review scores.
*The only source you should trust is your own.*
Not having a single GRID game on this list is criminal
Which one would you like to see on it? Personally the original and the sequel were quite nice, like around 8ish. Top 100 is maybe a bit much
Ah yes Grid 2
I think for a finale to this series Dustin should make his own top 100 racing games of all time
Can't spell Ignorant without IGN after all
My favorite saying
Clever
I first saw this in the comments of their TDU2 review back when that game was new. I don't remember what they scored TDU2, but they didn't like it at all.
1:06:48 - I wholeheartedly agree with this. Yearly games just don't cut it anymore. Whether or not it'll make just as much money as yearly games, I don't really have a concrete answer. The gaming industry should at least try this again.
Charge $100 and update the game for two more seasons...
OutRun 2 (or 2006 Coast 2 Coast) seems like the biggest omission to me, unless we're splitting hairs about what constitutes a "racing" game since the main mode was just racing against the clock (however several games that were on the list including Crazy Taxi were also "race against the clock" kind of games).
OutRun 2 is a hugely slep on game. I loved it
The reason why there used to be so many rally games back in the day is because rally as a sport used to be immensely popular during the 80s and 90s thanks to Group B and Group A regulations respectively. The popularity of rally racing died out in the 2000s as a result of Sebastien Loeb's insane dominance during that time period. He won the championship 9 times. And people complain about Hamilton and Verstappen's dominance in Formula 1.
Not to give any demerit for Sebastien Loeb or anything. The guy is an absolute beast of a driver. Funny how the WRC from the 2000s and 2010s were dominated by two frenchman with name Sebastien.
But I honestly don't think this was the main cause of rally racing games stopped from being popular. the DiRT series was still around on the late 2000s.
@@b.1570 The FIA denied Loeb a Superlicence because he would have demolished most F1 drivers and he would have been a championship contender in F1 from the get-go. His most recent win was last year at the Monte Carlo rally near the age of 50.
His dominance was terrible but I have immense respect for the man and I think he's one of the best drivers period.
@@b.1570 Rally games continued to be made moreso due to the popularity of things like the Gymkhana videos and other extreme sports being popular on RUclips.
@@CyanRooperthey denied him a super license because he had basically no single-seater experience whatsoever aside from a few test days he did with Red Bull. He probably would’ve done well, sure, but so would’ve Valentino Rossi, and he also had only done a few private tests with Ferrari and was still denied one.
We are missing :
- GT4
- GT1
- Racedriver Grid (best game ever)
- Grid 2
- NFS Carbon
- NFS Pro Street
- Mario Kart Wii
- Dirt 3
- Nascar Thunder 2004
- Nascar 14
- Driver San Francisco
and probably more that i forgot.
burnout paradise?
FH1
That Rick and Morty joke almost went over my head until I looked at the author of the review lol
Mario Kart 64 being 110th is a crime. ALSO the Stuntman games are super fun!
Mario Kart 64's score shows something is definitely wrong with IGN.
Lol it's actually crazy
34:44 It's not a prototype, it's a pre-production video, a concept so to speak, which outlines the developer's plan and vision for the project. The prototype of the second Blur has already been leaked on the net, and it looks different. I once did a review of the whole Blur series, and focused on the sequel. You should watch it, it has English subtitles.
Not a single Trackmania games....
What a shame
Man this editing is just on point. You're the Real Deal. Keep it up champ
Beetle Adventure Racing is one of my faves. please stream it. tracks are very unique with lots of side paths. Please stream it!
What's important to realize is that games like Dirt Track Racing were rated years ago. So while an 8.7 seems high for a game such as that, when it was released in 99 it likely was quite a quality release.
Welcome back dustin eden. Your viewpoints on racing games as whole has more weight, authenticity and accuracy than i ever did listening to. Half of IGns Ratings/review
I'd like to see Edens personal top 100 list
YES
The first 15 places would be filled with Gran Turismo, Burnout, Midnight Club, Need for Speed and Forza games respectively. Beyond that would probably be stuff like Test Drive Unlimited, Grid, Blur, Split Second, Driveclub, Driver etc.
@CyanRooper everything in it's right place
Never forget when TXR Zero got around an 8 but every subsequent Shutokou/Kaido game got around a 6 or less despite being generally decent (Kaido Battle 3/TXR Drift 2 notably was hit with a 4 despite probably holding up the best of any of Genki's racers imo).
IGN can never be trusted, also now you know we have to do what IGN consider to be great racing games
Real racing 2 was my game in middle/highschool, I played that game for hours and for a mobile game, it felt fantastic
The 3rd one is also really great in handling, gameplay graphics and overall content, but i guess great cannot be written without EA...
The progression was just not good, maybe better than ehatever the fuck was NFS No Limits, but it was still essentially a free-to-*pay* mobile game with EA behind most of the monetizing decisions
That intro is so terrifying, amazing 🗿
Ferrari F355 has a console and a arcade cabinet the cabinet is actually crazy it’s designed with 3 screen setup in a first person pov
I've seen that cabinet running before, looks really cool.
Fun fact on Project Cars 2, there was an overclocking bug on PC1 where if you were running your CPU OC'd, then you'd be faster than the genuine aliens of the game. This was eventually patched (as you'd expect) and that was the end of it (or so we thought). Then along comes PC2 and somehow of all bugs to carry over to PC2, the OC bug was back, but only for AMD processors. I found this out by accident half a year after PC2 had launched (that's just when I got it as a gift and wild that the bug still persisted) as I was just doing random online lobbies to get accustomed to more cars and was immediately framed as a hacker because a bug from PC1 that was patched, had somehow made its way back into PC2 and had to be patched a second time over.
Stuntman is super fun! I havent played it since I was a little kid but I used to spend hours in the sandbox mode (or whatever its called) you can use whatever vehicle and make crazy setups like ramps and what not
missing games in my opinion:
-MotorStorm Pacific Rift (probably the best in the series although i prefer apocalypse personally but thinking that PR came out way back in 2008.. just wow)
-Driver San Francisco, a masterpiece of a game
-Test Drive Unlimited 1&2, need to explain?
-Split Second, not a fan of the game, but I still understand the importance of the game
-Driveclub, every time i play driveclub i can feel the love and the passion of all the developers dedicated into the game...sony i hate you
-Dirt 3, dirt 2 is still the goat, it doesn't have the same character as the previous one, but they have come very close, I really like the game
-Baja edge of control, a weird one yes, I never played such a unique game, it's not a 10/10 game, but I recommend to try it for anyone who wants a completely new experience!
-NFS MW2 BETA, I close the comment with this last game, few will understand what I mean...
"driver is suspected to be the Rockport Fugitive, driver Remains Most Wanted"
do i need to say anything else?
The Most Wanted 2 beta doesn't really count as a "game" as it's just a beta and not the actual game that we got (still agree with you though that the beta is what we should've gotten).
DriveClub still has Better Visuals than GT7 or FM8, and the Gameplay and Control is Awesome
Even with "Hard Control" and A SimRacing Wheel, it still XTREME POTENTIAL for a Simulation game
@@FurryestX yea thats the point
At 21:26 you can see a thumbnail for Motorstorm PR. Not sure why Wipeout HD used that thumbnail.
I'd love to see a playthrough of both Stuntman and Stuntman Ignition! Both are such unique games that deserve a look at.
Dustin Eden ur my fav gran turismo 4 RUclips, I used to watch ur gt4 vids and saying that I want a ps2 with gt4 so badly, and thanks to u they gifted me a ps2 and gran turismo 4 [PAL] in my bday,
Eden if ur reading this remember that, ur thr best gran turismo 4 RUclipsr in the world and have a good day
Edit: he hasnt Still readed comment :(
LONG OPINION THREAD AS I WATCH THE VIDEO -
If you play fighting games you know just how useless mainstream ratings are when it comes to genres that aren't the typical action, adventure or RPG.
Noticing chat and a lot of comments not getting that a lot of these reviews were done on RELEASE DAY, so anyone complaining "HOW CAN OLD JANK GAME HAVE HIGHER SCORE THAN NEW GAME?" is stupid. They also take into account consoles, which is why games on stuff like GBA or shitty handhelds can get high scores just as much as something on modern systems. Literally the first game of this type and everyone in chat is already going "RATED HIGHER THAN MIDNIGHT CLUB LA?!!!!!" Yes, because it takes into account release date and platform.
YES, absolutely play Stuntman. That game was one of my childhood favourites. It is absolutely *brutally* difficult, though. It's legit one of the hardest driving games ever made in terms of completing it.
"THIS WAS 1989, THERE WAS NOTHING TO COMPARE IT TO" Racing games did exist before the fucking PS2, Eden, mate. Like there are classics from the mid 80s to early 90s that still stomp the majority of racing games being made today lmao.
"You can differentiate between racing and driving games" Agreed, this was pretty much coined by Yu Suzuki when making the original OutRun in 1986. He didn't want people to think of it as a racing game but a driving experience.
F355 Challenge is a really fun game, the reason it seems so "bare-bones" is that it's an arcade port. The arcade release actually had a "deluxe" cabinet with three screens that I have gotten to play a handful of times. It was very ambitious to release a sim racer, but as an arcade machine. I really don't care if a game only has one car and a few tracks, to be honest, because I'll play Daytona USA or F355 a thousand times each but not even touch some modern racing games more than once. It's all about the gameplay and how fun it is to replay.
Eden confirmed to seriously not know any racing game from before, like, 2005.
BLUR STANS RISE UP
"Micro Machines 1 and 2 for Game Boy Color" Hey, remember what I said about console being taken into account in the score?
"We haven't had a single Forza game yet, only DLCs. No Horizon or Motorsport." I haven't looked but I'm calling it now that all the mainline Forza games are just going to smother the top 20 and make the list entirely pointless.
Wave Race: Blue Storm is a FANTASTIC game. I highly recommend it. One of the only games I gave a damn about when I owned a GameCube.
"Where did the F-Zero franchise go?" I dunno, Nintendo just randomly decided they didn't want to make games that could convince me to buy their consoles anymore. Seriously my favourite Nintendo franchise and they just don't care because they've got 50 Mario, Zelda and Kirby games to make. And maybe a Metroid if you're a good boy this year.
I'm surprised Daytona USA 2001 is on here and not the original. Even though the original was initially released in 1993 it still handles a lot better than 2001. Doesn't matter to me how shiny you make the visuals or if you add new content, if one simply plays better, that's the better game.
Ridge Racer Type 4 is Gran Turismo 4's biggest competitor for "greatest PS exclusive racing game" for me. Super good to see it so high.
Hell yeah PGR2. I like PGR4 more but PGR2 was so unique and special.
FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA
Crazy Taxi is straight GOATed, I played it for hundreds of hours. I at one point had a top 10 score on the Xbox 360 leaderboards in it, before all the hacked $999,999.99 scores came in.
FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA FORZA
Checkered Flag for Atari Lynx, greatest game of all time. God, I'm surprised they didn't put the Atari Jaguar version too. It's just as great! (Mediocre)
POST LIST COMMENTS:
Somehow these lists keep fucking sleeping on Outrun 2/Outrun 2006, literally a top 10 racing game of all time. There's also no Sega Rally or Sega Rally 2, two other legendary hits. However, the biggest exclusion... is that GRAN TURISMO 4 is not on this list. But it got a 9.5! They literally just randomly chose games and ignored higher rated ones! So this top 100 list isn't even close to correct!
A lot of racing games from the 80s and 90s aren't appreciated as much these days because you need to have the proper hardware those games were designed for to enjoy them (arcade cabinet games or sim racing games like Grand Prix Legends, Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix series etc).
Edit: I'm the same age as Edna so I don't know that much about all of the racing games from that time period but I can acknowledge that they were better than they look and were extremely influential.
0:03 it’s so surreal seeing the track mod I made for Trial Mountain on Dustin’s intro WTF?
Ayyy, great work on that track. The environment is stunning. Also, Autumn Ring and Midfield 👌
@@JamVarthat’s awesome thank youu I’m curious how you got the AI to sit still like that on the track?
@@PieZello That's actually a track day session with "walking_out" from Assetto Corsa's config folder enabled so I can jump from car to car in the pits and set them up myself.
I vividly remember “stuntman” as being the first of two games ever that actually made me so mad that I broke a controller. The other was “Tourist Trophy” Lmao
20:31 The iPod you're most likely talking about is a 5th Gen Nano, that's the one with the most features. If you still have that iPod though, i would put it far away from any of your drawers... Because nowadays, ESPECIALLY on the 5th Gen, the batteries have a tendency to explode.
Son las 1:45 am donde vivo y Dustin cree que me veré un video de 1 hora y media? Por supuesto que si.
Bruh why did i think the intro was just an intro from one of the need for speeds i didnt play?
I think the only place where you can really find a realistic score for games in general is steam, because there you'll find people who know the genre, played the game to its full potential and compare it to the other experiences with other games of the same type. obviously there you'll not be able to find playstation exclusives or older games that did not get released on steam, but for the games that you can find you'll have the most realistic rating.
Steam also has some of the funniest ratings
"The people who make Overwatch porn put in more effort than the people who made Overwatch 2" - Chad Steam reviewer
TDU2 being rated 5.5 actually kind of shocked me
Nah, it makes sense, TDU2 at release was an unplayable, buggy mess with terrible physics, non-functioning online and awful, grindy progression. It took a decade of work, first by the devs, then by modders to fix the game, add missing content and get it to where it's at right now, and nothing can 100% fix the physics or the progression (IMO TDU1 is still a much better game, if only it wasn't so constrained by technology of the time)
All of the people that praise TDU 2 are the ones who played the game after installing a metric fuck ton of mods to make the game enjoyable.
@@crispybottom This is something I feel a lot of people have forgotten about. As someone who also played the game at launch, it was a disaster. The fixes from both the devs and later the modders, made it a much more enjoyable experience.. even if I think TDU1 aswell was also better.
because it isn't good no matter how much revionism is being done by TDU SC fanboys
Deserved score for being such a bad sequel.
Micro Machine's review was for the Game Boy Color version of the game like you saw the gameplay of, but Mickey's Speedway's review was also for the Game Boy Color, not for the N64 version :P
A round of applause for our saviour - Checkered Flag!
👏
I think Richard Burns Rally deserves a spot. It’s very unknown compared to most on the list but it’s to this day pretty much the best rally sim ever made and has a huge modding community. It’s difficult af for me and it’s a bitch to set up but I don’t think that you can get much better than RBR in terms of rally simulation.
With the RallySimFans installer it's extremely easy to set up. It's wild how much better the modern modded version is than the original though.
I expected this list to be bad, but holy shit. The fact that TDU 1 & 2 are not on this list is criminal. Also not a single GRID game.
Imagine listening to IGN when it comes to games, or anything.
I'm hella looking forward to seeing a video on Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions if that was the plan
33:36 - didn't Blur kinda market itself like a "Mario Kart for big boys"? I mean, the TV spots kinda did that at least.
Nothing like coming home to an eden video lol!
Hey I’ve got that Heat board game, that shit is actually super fun. They basically turned 1960s Formula 1 into a tabletop game.
Anybody know the background music from 1:19:12 to the end?
IGN also gave Driver2 5/10, ridiculous.
22:41 vehicular manslaughter
To give some more context for the motorcross/atv games at least personally no one I talk to about those games ever even touched the races in them. We all just loved goofing around in the open world modes, especially Mx Unleashed
Some levels of stuntman don't work on emulator sadly :(
I love your longer videos!
Playing Blur in a LAN party is crazy fun
Highly recommend if theres a chance to do it
It is mad fun, I used to do that a lot.
Playing Horizon 5 for me by this point is like CBT- constant pain, but every picosecond now and then I feel something. Shoutout to them recycling models from Horizon 3, removing car modifications from Horizon 3 (Lancia Delta S4 is supposed to be twin-charged, is only turbocharged in 4 and 5), using similar sound effects between cars from the same company (Lancia Integrale and S4 sound share sounds) AND keeping cars out from the game that were promised at launch (Lancia Stratos and its 'immersive soundscape').
If you could tell I'm a stickler to Lancia cars, and Horizon constantly butchers it.
My favorite super(/arguably hyper) car is the Saleen S7, so you could imagine how much of a turn off the new Motorsport game's trailer was, when they showed that car, and it STILL has the same model from Motorsport 2. A game from 2007...
I only played FH5 up to the part where you get to drive the parade float, because that was pretty much the only feature interesting enough to make me play it lol
I’m glad Dustin likes Driver San Francisco, I played that a lot back in the day
28:50 Always thought that the 2D asphalts were more fun back then, the 3D ones didn't really hit a nice point until 5 or 6 I think, the first one on a smartphone.
It was super nice to see Blur on the list, that game truly is super underrated and to this day it's one of my favorite racing games. On the other hand some really great games were missing.
Spilt/Second had on of the most unique concepts I've ever seen in a racing game. While the driving could've been better, it definetely made it up with pure chaos. The power plays are just insane especially the route altering ones.
Driver: San Francisco is another pretty underrated gem imho especially considering the shift ability. I've never really seen anything quite like it.
Pretty much any early GRID game should be on the list as well. Just all around very polished and fun racers.
The fact that FlatOut 2 is not on the list also baffels me. It might be very easy game, but damn it pays it off with some of the wildest and most over the top destruction ever put into a racing video game. Smashing through the field in that game never gets old.
And finally - to this day I'm not really sure if this is a hot take or not, because I've seen a fair share of people saying this - the best Burnout game is missing on the list. And that game is Burnout: Revenge. It took everything great about the series and enhanced everything. To this day it offers unrivalled sense of speed with adrenaline levels going through the roof, very challenging gameplay that rewards skill and track knowledge, absolutely killer soundtrack, great tracks with tons of traffic and god I love the addition of traffic checks. Easily in my top 3 of best racing games ever!
Hey I just wanted to ask if you're gonna be at Gamescom this year?
47:50 if u want try some old classic rally games i recomend so much the wrc evolved and the others on the ps2 developed by Evolution Studios (the motorstorm and driveclub developer)
I think WRC 4 was the peak. They had some new features in evolved but mostly WRC 4 stages but shorter. Atleast that's how I remember them after all these years. WRC 4 stages felt really long
@@Tumppiasd i loved that game
are you planning on talking about the new "tdu sc freeroam trailer" on your second channel?
49:08 MCII also had rave music which was really fitting to the game and also to the car culture of then, underground 1/2 should have been taken notes from MCII for the soundtrack
1:03:26 As a rocket league player, even I don't understand why he's in the top 18 on this list.
What you need to understand is this is reviewed by different people.
Now, these people should have some gaming history notions, to better put into context the games.
Most probably that guy played FH5 as his first racing game and he said wow, this is awesome, for an below average game.
Where the fuck is Driver SF. Where is TDU. Where is the GrandPrix series, best F1 sim series ever.
I won t expect people knowing NFS 2, or Stunt.
Where is Driveclub, ffs.
Not surprised Porsche Unleashed got a bit nuked on the review scores.
Back when it came out, it was... crash central and unplayable.
Both due to game bugs and bugs in the operating system, so I can totally get the low score for that, at the time.
the intro deserves an Oscar award.
18:16 hey RR2 was a marvel of racing game for a phone back in the day, im still trying to get it to run on newer phones.
so dirt 2 and racedriver grid just don't exist 💀
This list is already criminal but the fact that some games are not included in the list that should definitely be in the top 100 in the list (as of you making this video) is just unbelievable, here are some of them: (I checked them just now and it has been on the list and idk why it didn’t appeared in yours when you checked them out lol)
- Gran Turismo 4 (9.5)
- Gran Turismo 1 (9.5)
- Forza Motorsport (9.5)
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (9.3)
- Forza Horizon 2 (9.0)
- Forza Horizon (9.0)
- Need For Speed Most Wanted (2012) (9.0)
- Hot Wheels Unleashed (9.0)
- Inertial Drift (9.0)
- F1 2012 (9.0)
- Mario Kart 7 (9.0)
Also, The Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005 in the Top 100 list was actually the mobile game version. They have the audacity to give the console version an 8/10 lol
CMR 2005 is just CMR 04 but upgraded in every possible way. I still really enjoy this one even today
now I wanna see dustin do a video like this for gameranks if gameranks has
My Real Racing 3 profile got glitched when I downloaded the app when they launched, I ended up getting infinite currency in that game and didn't need to spend on anything ever lmaoo
If you make a GBA video please include the Choro-Q series. They have a lot of different names like Penny Racers, Gadget Racers and Road Trip so you need to do some research to get them in order, but for me they're sure worth checking out. I also recommend the PS1 and some of the PS2 games.
You should do video about top rated racing games on Glitchwave
Colin McRea Rally 2.0 for the GBA might not look like much, but it had one of, if not the best physics engines in a GBA racing game!
General rule of thumb for IGN is if it is a mainstream franchise release the game immediately gets 7 points and from then on any and all negatives don't count towards the tally
CRASH TEAM RACING WAS INSANELY REPLAYABLE, unironically my all-time favorite video game
I can respect that Lynx game for being at the top. I haven't played it myself, but been collecting a lot of Sega Genesis racers lately and some of them are really impressive for the time and still insanely fun. Think my favorites so far are Formula One, Super Monaco GP, and Road Rash II.
Don't play pgr1 on xbox 360. It suffers from slow down compare to original xbox hardware
16:25
I have a complete copy of the Mint 400 game. It was kinda fun as a kid, haven’t played as an adult.
After watching both of the Metacritic 100 videos i was glad to see that "Crazy Taxi" and "Driver" got some praise but...man...
No mention of any Hot Wheels games, Enthusia, Juiced and don't get me started about Carmageddon..
All in all, i got hooked on your videos and i decided to get back to GT4 which i played so much back then.
Splashdown and the sequel Rides Gone Wild slaps hard brother
6:43 oh shit eden's a fellow november boy
1999 - that'll be when they made the website/changed host.. pretty common
my goat racing games growing up was SegaGT 2002 & the online variant from the OG Xbox
Those top 2 final entries were probably the greatest rug-pullin', plot-twistin' endings ever. I think IGN is trollin the racing community bigtime. Cool video Dustin! That was crazy and confusing and fun.
The "Behind the Curtin" of this is simple.
"Talk bad about company. Company doesn't give you early access to review the game. And you lose out to competitors."
midtown madness is crazyyyy that was my childhood
The Mickey game was GBC too, not N64. The GBC version is crazy, it has really well done animations and stuff. The GBC was twice as fast as the og GB, with double the RAM and VRAM. It can do crazy stuff.
Why you don't test split second and motor storm any of the series because all off different to burnout and the skate games all of them are good really good
Checkered Flag came out 1991, so gotta keep that in mind. but tbh, i cant see what people saw in those games back then...
Please please play stuntman, one of the best car games hands down and one of the hardest games ever but so much fun l!
Missed an “8.8” score:
Not sure why NO ONE mentions a certain game that was given away with a few hundred thousand xbox consoles. Sega GT 2002 was not epically exciting but it introduced a TON of Xbox kids to simulation racing. It included over 100 cars and not all were standard: see the 1978 Dome Zero… I don’t need it to be included in these lists; I just want to know why it isn’t included while every single lesser game is. Is it too much of a GT knockoff? All I know is that without a free copy of Sega GT 2002 at an impressionable time in my friends’ and my childhood, we might not have become car enthusiasts.
I'm always a big Sega GT 2002 defender. I feel the only major gripe behind it is a small amount of tracks, but I still played it a ton as a kid.
IGN is like the entire gta online IGN crew they cant agree on anything
Of you want challenge I dare you to complete TOCA Race Driver 2, as kid it was hard at formula ford, then at mustang races rubber branding was too much. Still great game
I really wish Stuntman was more popular, glad some mad lad is making Stuntman inspired scenarios in BeamNG
9/10 missed Big Mutha Truckers 2
speed punks soundtrack goes stupidly hard, really good dnb gotta love 90s videogames
also a very rare irish videogame
