PS2 What are some racing and car focused games you guys like to play ?

Hello RGT! So lately i've been wondering around to find some "hidden gems" in the racing category. Having a blast with Burnout series and Tokyo Xtreme Racer series, looking for some decent or must try ones, thanks to everyone in advance!

SEGA Rally Revo, Flatout 1&2, Ridge Racer 2 on PSP, Collin Mc Rae Rally 2005 (really tough driving, but realistic and runs on any PC)

If you’re into Burnout and Tokyo Xtreme Racer, you might want to check out some games like Ridge Racer Type 4, Auto Modellista, Enthusia Professional Racing, and Racing Lagoon. That last one’s got wild RPG elements mixed with street racing. Initial D: Special Stage and Wangan Midnight are solid picks if you’re into the Japanese arcade vibe. For something off-beat, Test Drive: Eve of Destruction delivers chaotic fun, and Street Supremacy on PSP scratches that Tokyo Xtreme itch. If you’re down for more stylized or experimental stuff, Motor Toon Grand Prix 2 and Mad Rally are worth a spin too. Plenty of hidden heat out there.

I love stuff like L.A. Rush (PS2) / Rush (PSP) or any of the Midnight Club games after the first one, mostly because they give you the open city to do whatever you want. In actual races, you can still go any route you want to beat your opponents.

Also, the Driver series from 3 onwards (some are more GTA-like), and Test Drive Unlimited.

To be honest, i've been hearing about Auto Modellista and Wangan Midnight. But i feel like Wangan would be a better choice for me since i just finished the anime for it.

Devil Z makes me feel weird..

I did try L.A. Rush and did finish every Midnight Club expect the third one, trains are b*stards is what i will say :D

But yeah other than that, those are really good games which gives you freedom. I really adore them.

People have said most of the ones I'd say. Been meaning to get back to Super Woden GP 1 and 2, because I don't usually enjoy that style of racer, but those clicked with me pretty good for some reason.

Also Need for Speed Most Wanted, the one from like 2005 or so, not the newer one.

Oh definitely, 2005 was way ahead of it's time overall, especially the soundtrack on that one is just awesome in my opinion.
