Comedian and retro gamer Jason Heine takes another walk down memory lane with The Emulator Review. This week's review is Cruis'n USA, one road trip that many gamers would probably rather forget.
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.
Star Wars Pod Racer was pretty intense! The sense of speed in that game was fantastic. Logged in lots of hours on that and the Twisted Metal series...too much fun.
Freaking loved Twisted Metal! Another game I loved missing from this list is
F-Zero
We did a feature video on F-Zero not long ago, racing around Big Blue! Fantastic game and I hope we get a new entry on the Nintendo Switch for it.
Driveclub and Burnout Paradise arent a series since they are a single game. Burnout is a great series though, wish we could get another one with crash mode.
Hopefully we'll see a DC sequel (ready for launch this time), and a new burnout would definitely welcomed.
Burnout series yes.
Driveclub......... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! Why? the game's a dumpster fire.
Defintely Burnout, but the article is racing game SERIES, only been one driveclub as far as I'm aware? And also its not really in the same league, unless you only care for rain effects
Motorstorm is a really fun racing series. All 4 games in the series have their own style and organic feel to them.
I remember being blown away with Motorstorm when first picking up the PS3. That was a tough game! You definitely didn't get easy wins on that one.
THE MUD!!!
I remember when I bought a PS3 I only had like 500$ left over so I had to wait until the end of the next week to get my paycheck so I can buy an HDTV.... I played it on the SD tv and was like OMG.... LOOK AT THE MUD!! IT LOOKS SO REAL!!! then when I bought the HDTV, my life nearly ended... heart almost thumped out of my chest lOl.
Flatout, Burnout, Nascar Thunder, Dirt and Driver are some other great ones.
Driver was an awesome game! That would be another one that would be great to see revived =) I bet many missed this one.
Driver was amazing ide also add F-Zero to that list over Wipeout but its each to there own ide even put forza Horizon in that list to so far for me 3 is the best racer of this gen.
Also enjoyed Sega GT, MSR, Project Gotham, Toca and there was another on the PSX where it was a mix of races road, off road ect but cant remember the name of it oooo and Super Skid marks 2 on the Amiga cant beat racing with cows towing caravans haha.
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!
I forgot about Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero! This was great. I loved lining up and racing iconic imports at night on the interstate in this game =) Definitely a worthy nominee.
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
Totally agree, a new Twisted Metal on the PlayStation 4 would be welcomed with open arms ;)
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.
thanks, then you have great taste in games. some were underdogs but absolutely killed it gameplay-wise.
We need a more improved Split Second game, but that'll never happen unfortunately.
Quite possibly one of the worst games ever made.
