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

Grand Theft Auto IV
Grand Theft Auto IVGrand Theft Auto IV is an action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It is the eleventh title in the Grand Theft Auto series, and the first main entry since 2004's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The game is played from a third-person perspective and its world is navigated on-foot or by vehicle. Throughout the single-player mode, players play as Niko Bellic. An online multiplayer mode is included with the game, allowing up to 32 players to engage in both co-operative and competitive gameplay in a recreation of the single-player setting. Two expansion packs were later released for the game, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, which both feature new plots that are interconnected with the main Grand Theft Auto IV storyline, and follow new protagonists.

Grand Theft Auto V: Premium Edition
Grand Theft Auto V: Premium EditionGrand Theft Auto V takes place five years after Grand Theft Auto IV and is now set in Los Santos. It centers around three protagonists: Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. New to the series is that the player can switch between the three characters on the fly. They each have different missions, lives, and personalities. They also often come together, especially for heists, a complex type of mission where a large operation needs to be planned and executed by determining a strategy and hiring additional henchmen. As with previous games in the series, the gameplay involves gunfights and takes place in a sprawling, open-world city where players get around by acquiring transport (cars, boats, helicopters, etc) through less than legal means. Players can roam the game world, complete story missions, and partake in various illegal activities, including shooting civilians, robbing people, destruction of cars, and the titular act of car theft. These lead to a wanted rating of up to five stars, sending in a police force in pursuit. Continuing to resist the police will also increase it. The wanted status is lost by getting out of sight or by spraying the car.

Grand Theft Auto Advance
Grand Theft Auto AdvanceGrand Theft Auto Advance is a handheld console game developed by Digital Eclipse, published by Rockstar Games, and released on October 26, 2004 for the Game Boy Advance. It is the only Grand Theft Auto game to not be developed by a Rockstar studio (formerly DMA Design). The game is played from a top-down perspective; this view angle was seen on the first two games in the series, Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Auto 2, but vehicle-based side-missions (such as "Vigilante" and "Paramedic"), the heads-up display and a large majority of the weapons, first introduced in the three-dimensional counterparts, have also been included. Unlike previous top-down Grand Theft Auto games, vehicles can now flip over. It is the first game from the Grand Theft Auto series which got a 16+ rating from PEGI and an M rating (recommended for mature audiences though any age is still allowed access) from the Australian Classification Board. The game was released on the same day as the North American release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
