This game is twenty years old, but it's still one of the best racing games I've ever played.
I recently replayed it on my PS2 about a year ago, and I have yet to find another racing game that's as satisfying to play as this one.
Despite its age, the controls are as smooth as butter. It has one of the best soundtracks out there, composed by actual rock stars. I've sunk countless hours into this game, and will sink even more in the future. I'd gladly play this over Mario Kart any day!
I honestly was disappointed by the gameplay at first, but I grow fond of it since it was quite fun, challenging. And ofc, how could I not like the plot, the characters and stuff! Despite the desastrous development in which devs were put in difficulty with the stupid decisions from above, the game still is a gem IMO.
Probably one of the coolest combat racing games I've ever played. The music, the aesthetics, the characters, it's like a time capsule of what was "Cool" in the 2000s. I'd love to see this game on a modern game store with PC support, though I doubt Sony will ever agree to their old games being re-released

Gran Turismo 2Gran Turismo 2 is a racing game for the Sony PlayStation and the sequel to Gran Turismo. The game uses two different modes: Arcade Mode and Gran Turismo Mode. In the arcade mode, the player can freely choose vehicles they wish to use, and can enable damage. However, the Gran Turismo Mode requires the player to earn driver's licenses, pay for vehicles, and earn trophies in order to unlock new courses. Gran Turismo 2 features nearly 650 automobiles and 27 racing tracks, including rally tracks. Compared with Gran Turismo, the gameplay, physics and graphics are very similar. The major changes are the vastly expanded number of cars, tracks and races in simulation mode. Other differences include that the player can race events separately, if they don't want to enter the whole tournament. The player is no longer able to "qualify" for each race entered.Non-fiction

True Crime: Streets of LATrue Crime: Streets of LA is a free-roaming driving and action game similar in concept to Grand Theft Auto III. The game's structure is mission-based; most of the missions are dictated by the story and initiate following a cutscene that advances it. Failing a mission still allows the player to continue playing through the chapter and undertake subsequent missions; in some cases this will lead to branching paths and optional missions. However, in order to complete the whole chapter the player must eventually succeed in all the main missions.Open world Action Science fiction Stealth Sandbox

Destruction Derby: ArenasThe PS1 Destruction Derby titles would put you in the seat of a high powered vehicle, in either an arena or a track, and the target was to race to the finish, while causing as much destruction to the other cars as possible.
Now comes the PS2 sequel. Because this is now on the PS2, the capabilities are much higher, so now there is a vastly improved graphics engine, physics engine, and levels.
There are now loads of online play modes to try, with up to 19 other racers online with you, and now, the crashes are bigger than ever.Action
