Also consider: Crash Team Racing (PS1). I was never into racing games, but I absolutely loved this game as a kid. It's similar to Mario Kart (disclaimer: I've never played Mario Kart), is challenging but fun, has many characters from the Crash Bandicoot series to play as, has Crash Bandicoot's classic box-collecting mechanic specifically for the time trials and much more. There's a pretty good single-player adventure mode as the main draw, but you can play local co-op. The remake, CTR Nitro Fueled, also includes tracks from the sequel Crash Nitro Kart, and has (or had, I'm not sure if it works anymore) online multi-player.
even as a car enthusiast, I still enjoy a more casual experience from time to time. Another game I'd recommend is Blur, esentially a Mario Kart-like with real cars and tracks. It's extremely fun in multiplayer. Also, I'm surprised I haven't seen that Zeepkist game before, it looks right up my alley
Back when it came out, 2004 the same year San Andreas dropped. Burnout 3: Takedown became my most favorite PS2 game of all time. Still is, nineteen years later. No other game can break me out of a sheer funk, or even worse, a bad spell of depression. The soundtrack, simple arcade raving, and crashing and destruction makes me smile, even if I have tears rolling down my cheek. I wonder why, we have to tell each other lies, maybe the heart never dies, in a hotnight crash, you'll hear it tonight!!!
Split/Second, man what a good game. Just so disappointing it's not a franchise of its own - not even a single sequel. Still plays great, looks great (for a near 15-year-old game to boot) and has awesome music. Kind of the same situation with Blur I'd say. Underrated, under-appreciated games.
As a kid Burnout was my favourite one of these. It was so anti-car it literally had a mode (frankly the main reason to play the game at all) called crash where you were tasked with causing as much damage to both your car and every other vehicle, building and human within your vicinity. Loved it
That Zeepkist game sounds like it could be turned into a sort of Fall Guys type elimination racing game on top of also just having regular races and the custom track feature. 😄👍
Wipeout was visually stunning when it came out first. Looked and played great. That said I'd recommend Fast RMX for the Switch. One of the earlier games...and still holds up very well. Perfect mix between F-Zero and Wipout. Nice graphics, good framerate and high speeds....
My favorite non-car racing games would probably be Wipeout XL (PS1), F-Zero (SNES), and Road Rash (Genesis). Nice to see at least each of those series made the list. I certainly played my share of the original MarioKart over at my friend’s houses. There was another non-car racer game called Trickstyle for Sega Dreamcast, that featured hoverboards. I played that game quite a lot for a few months.
I remember a Home Improvement episode where Tim Allen put a sparkplug in his garbage disposer and somebody made fun of him for it, asking him if he would use it to race against other disposers. Well now that we have racing couches in Wreckfest, I say bring on the racing disposers. I don't care how they do it. 😂
Burnout 3 seriously it's oftern on lists for best racing games ever. Don't feel like racing why not jump into crash mode where you take a car and pretty much turn it into a wrecking ball aiming to create the most destruction possible.
Check out my comment. This list is nothing without Burnout on it. Almost 20 years later, and Burnout 3 is still the best PS2 game in my humble opinion.
I gasped in delight when Wreckfest appeared. I mean what other game literally allows you to drive a portaloo? And the soundtrack rules, namely the tracks by One Desire, Cyan Kicks and Blind Channel.
When I saw the title, I thought of the game Running High that I love as a kid. Instead of racing with a car, it's racing with running men and women in live size mobile suits. While the graphic didn't age that well imo, it's just fun racing game that I think it's what Sonic R should've been.
Im suprised they didn’t put following Games on this list: Burnout, Mario Kart, Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed, Twisted Metal, ModNation Racers, and Diddy Kong Racing
Plenty of reasons, some people hate the upkeep or get anxious af driving, some people hate the destruction of the environment, some people hate how they make walking dangerous and inconvenient, some people hate having parking lots in historical districts because cities have to cater to car drivers.
Here are 10 more: Chocobo Racing Downhill Domination Firebugs Hot Wheels Unleashed Pepsiman (WILD CARD ENTRY!!!) Rollcage: Stage II Sled Storm (both games are excellent) Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Speed Punks (or Speed Freaks if you want to get PAL about this) SSX Tricky

I am really really really really really surprised that nether of the following 4 games didn't make it on this list as I do know of these video games as I have heard of them because lots and lots of people say these games are great games (because regrettably I have unfortunately never played them). 1. Crash Team Racing/ Nitro Fueled (CTR) 2.Mario Kart 3.Diddy Kong Racing 4.Sonic Team Racing
BS list. Where was Carmageddon? I am the very definition of a target consumer for this list and watched the video just by its title. Carmageddon is the best way to blow off steam (for example) after the Brexit vote or before elections that are happening soon in Finland.

LEGO Racers was probably one of my first games. Idk...just seeing in made me really nostalgic, emotial even...simpler times.

Any love shown to Split Second is a win in my books.

*Racing, not raving. This autocorrect on my phone is drunk and on drugs.
Split/Second getting some love makes me so happy. That game was criminally overlooked.
such an underrated game, needs a sequel
Split/Second is such an underrated game
Love to see the retro games in this list! There's some excellent choices here, great video!

So much of my youth was spent playing 4 player Micro Machines 2 on the Mega Drive. Excellent times.

Wait... Is the Falcon from F Zero the one from the "Falcon Punch!" meme from a few years ago?
No Episode I Racer? That one's a classic!
1:14 ❤️❤️❤️ loved Lego racers.
Some I can think of would be Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, Flatout 2, Tank Racer, Hydro Thunder and Re-Volt.
That Zeepkist game sounds like it could be turned into a sort of Fall Guys type elimination racing game on top of also just having regular races and the custom track feature.
😄👍
Wipeout was visually stunning when it came out first. Looked and played great. That said I'd recommend Fast RMX for the Switch. One of the earlier games...and still holds up very well. Perfect mix between F-Zero and Wipout. Nice graphics, good framerate and high speeds....
Dude, the Omega Collection in VR is epic!
ETA: It's one of the only high speed games in VR that I can go for three hours or longer in a single session
My favorite non-car racing games would probably be Wipeout XL (PS1), F-Zero (SNES), and Road Rash (Genesis).

Jet moto 2
Disappointed that Outrun series wasn't on this list actually. 😎👍🏻😁

Well now that we have racing couches in Wreckfest, I say bring on the racing disposers. I don't care how they do it. 😂
Stuntman: Ignition was always my favorite of this genre. Sometimes it was more fun to mess up on purpose just to hear the director have a breakdown
Did Mario's check bounce before you made it to number one haha I was surprised he wasn't even on the list
Blur is underrated as hell it gives nfs a run for its money
Burnout 3 seriously it's oftern on lists for best racing games ever. Don't feel like racing why not jump into crash mode where you take a car and pretty much turn it into a wrecking ball aiming to create the most destruction possible.

Love Road Rash. Such a fun game and it got me into Soundgarden
I gasped in delight when Wreckfest appeared. I mean what other game literally allows you to drive a portaloo? And the soundtrack rules, namely the tracks by One Desire, Cyan Kicks and Blind Channel.
Damn how I love Wipeout. Too bad that we won't be seeing any new games in this series.
2097 was an absolute masterpiece, the music so beautifully blended with the gameplay and visuals
1:00 missed opportunity to say "Alliterative Automotive Attributes" :P
I recommend Road Redemption. It's more or less exactly like Road Rash, but with updated graphics and more customization options.
Definitely a little disappointed that we didn't get Hydro Thunder or Uniracers but another solid list as always.

Why do people hate Cars ? 🤨
Plenty of reasons, some people hate the upkeep or get anxious af driving, some people hate the destruction of the environment, some people hate how they make walking dangerous and inconvenient, some people hate having parking lots in historical districts because cities have to cater to car drivers.
@@doomjazz420 ah that makes sense.
@@tylarjackson7928 idk man I'd much rather watch Cars than inside out lol.
@@markofthewolvessucks8930 dadgum he got us there
Lightning McQueen is a simp....
Here are 10 more:
Chocobo Racing
Downhill Domination
Firebugs
Hot Wheels Unleashed
Pepsiman (WILD CARD ENTRY!!!)
Rollcage: Stage II
Sled Storm (both games are excellent)
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Speed Punks (or Speed Freaks if you want to get PAL about this)
SSX Tricky
No
Yes!
Other games that need mention
Rollcage Stage 2, Wipeout 3, F-Zero X, Xtream G 2, HSX Raceing

Who would choose Split/Second over Burnout?
I thought this was going to be entirely a list where you control something other than a car, like Wipeout or Hydro Thunder.
the upcoming Lego 2K Drive looks fun
I am really really really really really surprised that nether of the following 4 games didn't make it on this list as I do know of these video games as I have heard of them because lots and lots of people say these games are great games (because regrettably I have unfortunately never played them).
1. Crash Team Racing/ Nitro Fueled (CTR)
2.Mario Kart
3.Diddy Kong Racing
4.Sonic Team Racing
No One:
Gaming Channel Presenters:
".....titular...."
Oh yeah! Here we go! Racing time!
Road Rash 2 is the best of the Genesis games and Road Rash for the 3DO is the best of the series.
P.S. Skitchin' didn't make the list? Shocking.
Grip should have been on here for sure.
I would add Fast Racing NEO and Blur to this list!
Mashed for the original Xbox was an incredible racing game with combat. Get 4 mates over, have some drinks and let mayhem ensue
Road Rash 2 was *FUN!*
Great video thanks 🎉
There needed to be at least one Burnout game on here.
How about a Top 10 List of Racing Games for people that hate racing cars
I just played Forza. It was fun
I feel like Burn Out should have been on this list
I still play wipeout couch co-op
Hydro THUNDER!!!
Glad to see someone else know of the game.
@@matteste hell yes I do! Amazing game. They had it on another list but I definitely expected it here as well tbh
Half way through and I don't see Skitchin'?! Never any love
Forgot Twisted Metal and Mario Kart😐
wave race but no JET MOTO smdh
Loved playing these on PS1
Cars Mater-National Championship
I am not much of a huge fan of racing games that much. I’ll get fun when playing it,but get bored after playing the same course over and over again.
Perfect list for me haha
Love road rash so much!!
People who dislike this video are the same people who throw soup at Art..
Rush 2049!?
Nah, fzero 64 is better because fzero gc is too hard to people who don't like cars ...
There are people who hate racing games and thinks a story driven platformer is a real game. And these "gamers" Shouldn't exist.
Vrooom
Mario Kart not on list...
Hot wheels?

👍
Writing was pretty bad in this video.
Every video I swear has “Worst, Best, or Most”in the title
BS list. Where was Carmageddon? I am the very definition of a target consumer for this list and watched the video just by its title.
Carmageddon is the best way to blow off steam (for example) after the Brexit vote or before elections that are happening soon in Finland.
No love for Kinetica...🥲
