I LOVED NFS Hot Pursuit 2 AND Burnout 3 Takedown BOTH near and DEAR to my heart why? Let’s go down the list starting off with NFS Hot Pursuit 2:
1. Awesome Cars
2. GREAT Racetracks
3. You can DEFINITELY see ahead of your racing time just in case if there’s a 👮♂️ Spike Strips or something else.
And THEN there’s Burnout 3 Takedown:
1. You can takeout other cars
2. The soundtrack to the game is FREAKING AMAZING
3. And the Racetracks are FREAKING INSANE
I have Road Trip Adventure and it was a great sandbox racing game to play as I wasn't allowed to play GTA until I was 15 in 2004 by which time I played San Andreas.
It was the Sandbox features that had me play this game and I loved the PS2 era for the many titles that followed the formula.
I loved the Burnout series as well because you could gain speed by performing dangerous tasks like oncoming traffic and near misses rather than just relying on getting the best cars. The later games added crash mode which was fun and Paradise City was a great way for the series to go out with a bang.
NFS H P 2
I loved Crash Tag Team Racing from my Childhood Years as one of THE Best PS2 Racing Games There Is
The only two that I played a lot and are on this list are Gran Turismo 4 and NFS Hot Pursuit 2. Both of which are just two of my all time favorite racing games.
Midnight club 3 will always hold a special place in my heart
Same here
for real🤙🏽
Mine too
Need For Speed and Burnout had always been my favorite racing game series.
Especially on the PS2,
That was The Golden Age for Need For Speed.
Yeah Burnout 3 takedown best one
For me, Mx vs Atv untamed blew my mind the first time I played it. The maps were huge, beautiful and the random npcs made the maps feel alive.
Mx vs atv unleashed was better though in every way
Burnout 3 Takedown and NFS Hot Pursuit 2 (the PS2 version) are my favorite arcade racing games of all time. Just sublime.
Me too.
I still have Splashdown Rides gone wild, and still play it now and again! That’s fun!
Auto Modelista was a great anime style racing game super underrated
Its cel shaded.
The handling is straight up garbage unless you get the pal or japan version. US version feels like you're constantly driving on ice.
Gran Turismo 3 + 4
NFS Underground 1 + 2, and Most Wanted.
I poured hours into these games, which were my favorite.
GT+NFS+Burnout = Happiness
There's so many good games to choose from, it's hard to pick my number 1. But I think we can all agree that Burnout, Need For Speed Underground and Gran Turismo are definitely some of the best.
As a car channel I always wanted to see something like this. Thanks
Missed so many great games on PS2 back in its prime . I wish TH-cam existed back in early and mid 2000
TH-cam was around since 2005

Burnout 3 is my favorite racing game of all time!
Downhill domination and ssx 3 is missing I had supper fun with those games back in the days
Same
Burnout 3 was one of the best games on ps2 period. That game is a 10/10. Would love it to get remade. I’d take it just getting put into PlayStation premium
I have it on ps2 and original Xbox
Hello i've watched minute ago your top 10 rockstar ps2 games and Super Mario RPG games top 10 videos, these was awesome lista and good videos. Now I'll watching this. Im not good with realistic racing games because I like More not realistic racing games like Mario Kart or Ctr But My favourite ps2 racing game IS ps2 Burn out 3 because it's a good racing game and its very nostalgic For me. PS that Jak X combat racing Looks really awesome and fun racing game. 🔥
Thank you for your continued support, Leo! Racing games were a big part of my upbringing, so any chance I get to talk about them here, I do my best to go all out and highlight some of the best in the genre. Like with any other game, it just takes practice and patience. Kart racers are an excellent start, but if that's where you're most comfortable in, so be it. Kart racers are a ton of fun as they are!
@@spectrebull yeah that's so true
Gran Turismo 4 is THE best PlayStation 2 game ever. The best variety of cars, tracks, events, and music. It's the pinnacle of the Gran Turismo franchise.
Yes I really want to see a new Midnight Club you said it! Another company may do one!
I'm surprised that none of the Need For Speed Underground games were on this list. They were great games too. But Hot Pursuit 2 was on here so that's good, and that game was awesome. I played the game on the original Xbox but the PS2 version was so much better. And the HUD looked better there. I would also agree that Gran Turismo 4 is one of their best and same with Burnout 3. I did play the first and second but Burnout 3 was back when EA was in their prime. EA was grEAt in that generation. The other games were published by a company that no longer exists. Acclaim Entertainment
What about Smugglers run? That game was so good!
Also Auto Modellista should of been on here.
My top 5 racing games on PS2 that weren't ports of games that were on Dreamcast first (quite a few of my PS2 faves were Dreamcast ports):
1) OutRun 2006: Coast to Coast (probably slightly better on XBox but PS2 is the version I have)
2) Midnight Club Racing 3: Dub Edition Remix
3) Test Drive Unlimited (missing Ferrari but it has some features like Clubs not in the XBox 360 version, at least not in single-player mode).
4) Probably Gran Turismo 4, if I'm being honest
5) Enthusia (better handling than GT4 and had potential to be a worthwhile GT competitor series if it hadn't flopped)
You should mentioned Midnight Club II. I played the hell out of it because it has simple game mechanics but easy to master. It's one of my favorite games for the ps2 era it sucks Rockstar doesn't even care about the series rather they focus milking gta v. I personally loved it be great if Rockstar would remake or remaster it but I doubt Rockstar cares about it. They're too busy milking gta v
NASCAR Thunder 2004 needs to be on here. Best NASCAR console game ever.
Burnout revenge is my all time favourite racing game followed by need for speed carbon
Test Drive, Eve of Destruction should be on the list, could even be #1
PS1 - PS2 is like golden age of games
I was playing atv offroad fury while watching this
Interesting list!
This list is so bad, you missed Flatout 2, Burnout Revenge, WRC Rally Evolved, Colin McRae 2005, NFS Most Wanted and Carbon, LA Rush, R Racing Evolution, TOCA Race Driver 3, Street Racing Syndicate, ATV of road fury 4, ATV vs MX, SHOX, Test Drive Eve of Destruction, Crash N Burn
Thank For The Video 💞💗👍😍👌😁
I played Midnight Club 3 loads but don't remember there being any pick-ups! Was this some sort of expansion pack?
Man you forgot this game it's more like a buggy game where you pickup contraband. It's very fun made by Rockstar
Toca Race Driver 3!
I think nfs most wanted would be a solid 2nd place, burnout 3 3rd and gt4 1st
0:23 it was crash bandicoot the worth of cortex
Top 10 PS2 Game Exclusives.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 is the best Need for Speed game
I would add Enthusia, Auto Mobilista and Tokyo Xtreme Racer games to this list as well
I was expecting Underground 2
Ssx 3 and sled storm 2 always
The only acceptable NFS games that are allowed to be on this list is Underground 2 or Most Wanted Black Edition
Need for Speed: Underground 2 and Burnout 3. Enough Said
Still don’t know why Rockstar won’t do another Midnight Club
NEED FOR SPEED CARBON IS THE BEST AS WELL IN PS2
Motorstorm arctic edge
I Have Juiced., 4 ATV Games,
Butnout is best game I played all games
I'm just going to comment before watching the video and say this; if GT4 isn't #1, the list is wrong.
how race adventures and lego can be better than FLATOUT series?! :D ... this total bs list
Where is gran turismo 3?
4
2.4
GT4 was better than burnout but burnout was fun and so was the atv game having to pre load your shocks as you jump for maximum distance and a smooth landing , nice! But D1 Gran prix should be on this list. It was made by Yukes and the D1 Gran prix and til this day is best drifting game I have ever played
i tried out gran turismo 4, it was awful. you can't even turn without running into a wall or turning completely the wrong way. im looking for a good racing game on the ps2 that has good controls like mario kart and gran turismo has terrible controls
Skill issue
NO NFSU2 LMAOOOOOO
How in seven hells is NFS Hot Pursuit here instead of Most Wanted? Am I missing something or is this list just picking games that were only released for PS2 and no other platform??
I love Gran Turismo 4 and Hot Pursuit 2/Underground 2/Most Wanted were other-worldly…. But the Best racing game of the PS2 era will forever and always be Burnout 3 Takedown
In my opinion, Gran Turismo 4 deserve to be number 1.
700+ cars, around 100 tracks, great graphics, the amount of content, no DLC, no lootboxes, no microtransactions and everything I mentioned is in one disc! Very impressive for 2004-2005 game.
I appreciate the content but I find the game a little flat to play. It's clearly great but not my favourite.
Nah I don’t like it till Forza Motorsport and Horizon came out those are better racing games
@@PinkiePie762 who even plays forza motorsport
i tried out gran turismo, and i found it unplayable due to the controls, which are awful. you barely turn and you're going into a wall or the car turns completely the wrong way
@@archangelmusic13 maybe you just don't know how car physics work?
Burnout 3: Takedown & Burnout Revenge were when the series was at its finest.
I'd say the same thing, but the ironic part is, I had played these Burnout titles on Xbox 360.😊
@@Smoothie_The_Gamecat Sweet.
@@Smoothie_The_Gamecat was burnout 3 on 360?
@@canontheory correct
@@Smoothie_The_Gamecat noice, I knew revenge was but not 3
Need For Speed Most Wanted Was a Good Experience also Burnout Revenge was cool
I agreed. I know because I've played both on the Xbox.
Same,
OG Most Wanted (PS2) was awesome.
I loved "Rumble Racing" on ps2 that game was fun! Was hoping it made it on here but nope!
Haven’t played NFS Hot pursuit 2 in almost 20 years, but the soundtrack has always been a part of my playlist and some of the memories of playing it have lived rent free in my head since, absolutely love it
That was my first nfs game
@@SJ-su1kisame here
@@babayaga1988 my mom got it for me when it came out I was 5 lol little did she know that she put me on to the NFS series
Hot pursuit 2 is so timeless, I'm still waiting for my spiritual successor to it, not like HP 2010, as awesome as that game is...
@@tropixx_xlr1549Yea. I remember being very disappointed when I played the underground games after Hot Persuit 2. I eventually enjoyed those games alot, and then especially most wanted but those games felt very different to Hot Pursuit 2. Hot Pursuit 2 was arcade but not in a ridiculous way, it was grounded but with arcade elements and awesome tracks with beautiful scenery. That was lost when the series went into open world where each track felt the same.
These days it's either pure simulator or pure arcade racer, the only close game we have nowadays is the forza Horizon series but I only tried one of those games it didn't enjoy it.
I guess I'll just enjoy the Tokyo Extreme Racer franchise in a corner by myself
Burnout Takedown 3 gameplay and soundtrack was top tier no doubt! 👌🏽🔥
NFS2 is god tier.
Need for speed hot pursuit 2 brought back memories also midnight 3 dub edition remix
As someone who played Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition on the Xbox, I agree with you.
@@ARTSONICFAN990 especially on the ps2
A shame the Colin Mcrae rally games CMR 3, CMR 04 and 2005 were not on the list, really good games, that were also very approachable, unlike the later Dirt 4 and Dirt Rally series games, which are pretty much hardcore sim fans territory only sadly.
Toca Raced Driver series were also great games, especially the 1:st and 3rd game, the 3rd game even had lawnmower track racing, that`s not very common in a racing game, neither then or now.
But GT4 was the best PS2 racing game, and it stil is a great game today, even the graphics look dated today sadly, almost 20 years later, but for the day it was awesome, it`s only real downside, like most Gran Turismo games, were the engine sounds, but it`s a widely known fact that GT has poor engine sounds sadly.
Hot Pursuit 2 PS2 version is my all time favorite ❤️ that main menu,narrator talks about each car with charismatic voice, music, especially “Ordinary” , “Build your Cages “.. damn, so many wonderful memories…
Jim Conrad is a legendary voice in Canada!
Hot Pursuit 2 is like an old leather jacket, it brings back good memories, it has aged well and can still be enjoyed today
Pac-Man World Rally takes me back to my Childhood Years
Bruh me too
@@cordellriemer5177 Awesome! That game has ALWAYS been One of My Most Favorite PS2 Racing Games of the PS2 System from our Childhood Years! 😀😃😄😁
There is no series like Burnout series of all times.
This video deserves way more likes for Jak X: Combat Racing, Juiced, Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild and especially ATV Offroad Fury 2 being mentioned on this list. 😭😭😭
Edit: MotorStorm: Arctic Edge and MX Unleashed is missing from this list 🥺
Burnout 3 and Midnight Club 3 top 1 and 2.
The amount of hours my friends and i played tag on atv off round fury 2 were well spent
Colin McRae Rally games, Flatout 2, that one amazing Japanese simcade drift game, auto modellista, that one amazing Japanese GT clone, TFAF Tokyo Drift game, moto GP3, many others
"Which racing game did you play most on PS2?" I still play racing games on the PS2..
Love that you mentioned road trip adventure , all of these made my childhood so happy
First half of this list sure is weird... I'm not going to put it down because I've not played some of these games and I get it that when you're going for a 1 game per franchise (leaving out GT3, NFS Underground 2 and NFS Most Wanted, Burnout Revenge and other Midnight Club games...) you're probably going to land on some divisive titles - but still...
First off, I think it's missing rally games and there were a bunch of really good ones for the PS2 (Collin McRae, WRC series...). Probably because it's a north american based list? It's also missing F1 games (2005 and 2006 were both really good). It's also weird not having a single bike game... MX Unleashed, Tourist Trophy, MotoGP 4... oddly, being north american based, it completely skipped the NASCAR games. And then some really good racing games like Downhill Domination, OutRun 2006: Coast to Coast and WipeOut Fusion!!
Considering all these, Jak X, Juiced, Lego Racers 2 and Road Trip Adventure feel like very weird choices.
So many great games for the ps1 and ps2 huge game libraries
Glad road trip adventure got some love
The racing games i still play on the PS2
Formula 1 2001
GT4
Need for Speed 2005
WRC Rally Evolved.
Burnout 3 Take down.
My most favorite racing game on the PS2 is definitely burnout revenge, from the revenge takedowns to signature takedowns to explosive paybacks is beyond thrilling. I enjoyed every single time playing the game, too bad I never played Gran Turismo on PS2, including NFS underground 1 and 2. I also remember Playing NFS hot pursuit 2 and it was incredible, I had such good memories with that game, but let's not forget that the fast and furious Tokyo drift game was also a good racing game on PS2, I had a lot of fun playing it. But never finished the game
If Burnout 3 is not number 1, i will be pissed
Good thing there aren't any numbers
Here in Algeria we play only legend games 🎮 r.i.p rumble racing 🤍🇩🇿🇵🇸
i be surprised if alot of people of today are going back to older consoles
Road Trip Adventure = Greatest game of all time
While Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 was and still fun to play, I particularly enjoyed playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
Nfs underground 2> all other nfs
Let’s go!
Colin McRae: Dirt 2
The “Choose Phone” screen from Juiced 1:59 sent me back
Glad Hot Pursuit 2 got mentioned instead of Underground. Far better game.
Love both.
shout out for mentioning MX Unleashed
surely my favourite motocross game ever
still play to this day
Downhill
glad to see that Jak X is getting some love, that game is one of my all time favourites from my childhood
Mine too I love Jak X
Enthusia, Dirt to Daytona, TOCA Race Driver 3, Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero and Drift 1 and 2. NFS Underground. F1 Career Challenge. Nascar Thunder 2004 and 05. There are some really fun sprint car games none of which I'm good at. A lot of great Racing on Playstation 2 pretty much my favorite console ever.
Not having any SSX game on this list is a crime...
Midnight Club #1 #2 Burnout... Everything else looks trash other than probably hot pursuit
I totally agree that Burnout 3 is the best ps2 racing game. Actually, it’s the best racing game of all time.
Bro why didn't you put NFS Most Wanted in the list? It was one of the best racing games of that time
I played that old classic midnight. Club dub edition remix On PS2
2 players
Burnout for me was always boring after seeing the constant slow mo as time goes on.
