Speed, racing lines and adrenaline: the racing game ranges from sharp simulation to the wildest arcade. RomWize re-ranks the best games in the genre by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"Forza Motorsport 2 plants Turn 10's sim racing on 360 with a colossal career mode and a dynamic Auction House. The driving asks for finesse, weather is still missing, but the technical bedrock is gorgeous for its era."
"The sequel expands the recipe with fresh cities and even crazier stunts. The speed stays intoxicating, aerial tricks spice up the rides and the fun never lets up. A straight up success."
"Forza Motorsport 3 finally democratises sim racing with generous driving aids and a dizzying car count. Tires and weight transfer come through beautifully, and the livery editor sparks a lasting creative community."
"Burnout 2 perfects the formula with an addictive nitrous boost system and spectacular crash modes. The best in the series before Burnout 3. Varied modes, satisfying crashes, pure speed. One of the best arcade racers on Xbox."
"Ultimate Collection bundles Forza Motorsport 3 with all expansions, the most generous package to discover Turn 10's track work on 360. The smart pick for anyone who wants a massive garage and an active livery community."
"Gran Turismo 2 improves on the original with over 650 cars, additional circuits and a new rally mode. The automotive simulation is even more precise and content is phenomenal. One of the most complete games ever released on PS1, consolidating the legendary GT franchise."
"Forza Motorsport 4 hits the absolute sim peak on 360 with Top Gear, World Tour and enriched physics. The presentation is lavish, the content colossal, and the community remains one of the finest creative showcases ever seen on console."
"Unquestionably one of the best Mario Karts. Spectacular anti-gravity circuits, sublime WiiU graphics, excellent online. DLC adds very good tracks. Still a safe bet very enjoyable today. Indispensable."
"A unique Mario Kart with two drivers per kart and item swapping mechanics. Speed more measured than today's entries but the level design is top-notch and local multiplayer is a riot. The only Mario Kart with built-in co-op, an experiment never repeated. Essential GameCube cart."
"Japanese version of Project Gotham Racing, essentially identical to the international version. For collectors seeking the JP version of this elegant Xbox-exclusive racing game."
