by Psygnosis
Genres:Racing
Themes:Action, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:WipEout XL is set in the year 2097, around four decades after its predecessor. Instead of the F3600 anti-gravity racing competition, the game features an even faster and more dangerous tournament: the F5000 AG league. The gameplay system is similar to that of the previous game: players race against each other or computer in high-speed futuristic environments, liberally picking up weapons scattered around the stages and using them against the opponents to finish the race in the highest position.Show more

This was one of my most played Playstation games. I sunk so many hours into this fully entranced by every aspect from the high speed racing, to the visuals, to the soundtrack. This is easily one of the best PSX games.

I had the PC version. The music, the atmosphere and the feeling of beating a track were exhilarating, there are very few similar games currently available on PC, and the studio that originally made it is defunct, so the chances of more of the same are not good. It's also extremely difficult to get the original running on anything beyond Windows XP.
One of the very best racing games tied in with such a cool vision of the future, and the soundtrack that took us there. Every brand felt like it's own, every track a memory. I'll never forget how much this game opened doors for me with my own tastes.

You race in open-wheel cars and there are different driving views, with detailed physics and a realistic simulation of damage and controls. You can call up information about your car (fuel, tires, wings, wheel stagger) during the races at any time. Aside from the in-game paint shop, there was an active modding community at work with many custom car sets available online.

Need for Speed: Underground 2
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.

South Park Rally
South Park RallyChoose your character from the cast of the popular 'mature' cartoon South Park, and tear through the streets in this racing game. Your character's vehicle may be a little cart, trike, or box, for example. Weapons include rockets, Salty Balls, Cheesy Poofs, the beloved Cow and even an Anal probe. All of the voices are also included, making it feel more like the real cartoon than a rally game. You can also play an all-on-all 4 player mode.
