In the end though, Split/Second has so much going for it that it's easy to recommend for kart and arcade racing fans alike. The visuals are great, the sound impresses, and there's enough game between the singleplayer season mode and fun multiplayer to last you quite a while.

There were a number of cult classics that didn't sell like gangbusters, but still worked their way into gamers' hearts. Here's WWG list of nine great titles that deserve a second chance on newer consoles
I'll point out that these games are all from the X360/PS3 era - they've already had HD releases when they first came out. Split/Second and Blur - with the crazy vehicle physics capable today, why would we not want sequels to them?
The other games, all a matter of opinion of course, but... thank you for your ads between every single game. /s
Dafuq kinda title is that? These games were already released on HD consoles though...

James Pettegrow talks us through an arcade racing title that didn't get as much credit as it deserved.
Split/Second and Blur were the two most under rated racers last gen. They were great games and wish there were potential sequels.
Hoping for BC as I still got the XB1 disc and still play it time to time. This and Midnight Club LA along with Project Gotham Racing 4 are hidden racing gems from the X360 days.
This game completely caught me by surprise. It's awesome and tons of fun. Pick it up if you can.
Hmm with Modnation Racers and Gran Turismo 5, i have no intention of buying any other racing games
wow after some bit of drought for good racers(forza 3 and NFS shift excluded) we get arcade, kart and blends of genres with these new racers, and with GT5 releasing some time this year, its a great time to be a racing fan.
I like the artistic style of the game. It really soothes the arcade-ish gameplay.
