Lucas M. Thomas writes for IGN:
"Cruis'n USA was a poor game when it was first released for the Nintendo 64 over a decade ago, and it's still a poor game today. Though nostalgic memories might make our minds recall a more compelling title, this racer is simply shallow, too straightforward and technically flawed to be truly worth an investment of 1000 Wii Points. That said, though, spending 10 bucks on a download of this version of Cruis'n is likely a more wise decision than spending 30 on the recent physical disc abomination that Midway pushed onto store shelves a few months ago. Stay away from that one at all costs."
Pixelated Gamer takes a look at some of the greatest racing game series of all time. This list spans from incredibly realistic simulators to futuristic arcade racers.
Some cool additions like Star Wars Pod Racer in there!
I wouldn't call twisted metal a racing game but what a great series.
Motorstorm is a really fun racing series. All 4 games in the series have their own style and organic feel to them.
Flatout, Burnout, Nascar Thunder, Dirt and Driver are some other great ones.
One of the arcade’s very best racing series’ is back with a bang! No sooner do we bring you the news that Sega are releasing a brand new arcade racer from a much loved franchise do we hear that Raw Thrills are following suit by bringing us a new entry in the popular Cruis’n Franchise.
Hell, I'd like a nice rerelease of all these old school arcade racers. Cruis'n, Rush, Outrun, and the such. They were all great fun.
Hope to see this on the Nintendo Switch sometime in the future. Maybe even a launch, with some wishful thinking !!
Today we want to take a look at racing titles that delivered phenomenal gaming experiences at both the arcade and on gaming consoles. This list ranges from the best simulators to titles that specialize in vehicular combat.
I've never been much of a racing sim fan, so I was happy to see a nice mix of sims and arcade racers on the list. I definitely played the hell out of Cruis'n USA in the arcades, and the NFS series is probably my favorite racing series currently.
A sleeper hit, IMO, Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero!
Twisted Metal Road Tour, oh my days the amount of time i spent on the city roof top level. Good times, good game..the PS4 could use a new Twisted Metal
road rash3D
san francisco rush
GTII
NFS high stakes& hot persuit2
top gear rally
extremeG
Fzero
err, a bunch more. just some of my favorites where i had some of the most memorable fun (crusin USA, too, mentioned above). i still play GTII and would play RoadRash 3D if i didnt crack my disc. both still very fun to play, imo.
We need a more improved Split Second game, but that'll never happen unfortunately.
