I remember Mobil 1 being the only one that made me feel more like a rally driver due to it being one of very few rally games on psx with narrow tracks and no other cars on said track. But for fun factor, I loved Rally Cross 1 the most on PSX. The suspension physics in that game were a BLAST, along with the water splashing all over - it was just so cool and fun as a kid. Colin McRae 3 and Rally Sport on Xbox were some of my favs on console - but Richard Burns Rally on my PC will always have a reserved space in my heart, and on my SSD - at all times.
Awesome, yea i went back to play Rally Cross only recently on my PS5 as i hadn't played it in ages & decided to have a go gaining all the trophies which i eventually got & had a blast so much that i went & also downloaded the PS4 version as it had its own separate trophy list & played though it too. So much fun, honestly i agree, for me apart from Ridge Racer 4 the best PS1 racer currently on the store is Rally Cross, very cool indeed. Colin McRae, Rally Sport & Richard Burns Rally are all excellent games, i agree.
In terms of dynamics, realism etc colin mcrae 2.0 is the pinnacle of ps1 rally games imo. However, for nostalgia reasons and also that it was such a fun game my favourite is Rally Cross lol.
I agree, Colin Mcrae 2 is top of the list & there are a lot of other very cool rally games available even though they are not as refined are still worth a look for sure.
At 6:00 it switches from Rally Cross 2 over to Rally Cross 1 gameplay without saying so on screen. The change is noted on the timestamps, but it wasn't introduced in the actual video. The first game is WAY smother, better graphics, better framerate, and just overall well-made in comparison to the sequel. I thought it was worth mentioning so people don't get the second game by accident after seeing footage for the first - cos it was such a disappointment lol
I agree for sure. They have a very unique aesthetic with very different styles, I was always intrigued by the graphics & visuals of these games. At that time back in the 90's it was mind blowing.
I agree that CM2.0 deserves the top spot overall but my personal fave PS1 rally game and deserving of No2 spot > CM1 imo is VRally 2. It's incredible. Has a great sense of speed, great drifting, nice visuals and one of the best in game soundtracks EVER🤘 It plays even better than its Dreamcast counterpart! 😎
V-Rally 2 is an epic game that is very underrated which is a pity as it has so much to offer, like you said it plays great & the soundtrack is epic. I played the dreamcast version also & i enjoyed it but yea the ps1 version plays better & is easier to get into.
great video! there are quite a few games on that list that I never played or even heard off. I would put Colin McRae as my personal number 1, just because it was the first one and how amazing it was.
I agree it was a toss-up between which game i had in mind to be no1 as apart from V Rally, Colin McRae was also the other main rally game I played until V Rally 2 & Colin McRae 2, it was always gonna be both at the top anyway...😁 Yea Rally De Africa & Rally De Europe, we didn't get it in Europe, they are excellent games, they play very like Sega Rally on the arcade & Sega Saturn...😁
I agree with those choices but I would also consider Colin McRae Rally 2 to be up there although the visuals of the car models in the arcade mode are not as good compared to the single stage rally mode, that is were V-Rally 2 excels as the visual quality never dips regardless of the amount of cars on track, it still looks epic.
Sega Rally is definitely the better game for sure, I agree, I like this but it isn't as refined as Sega Rally, that game is one of the best Rally games ever...
Rally de Africa is a banger, really underrated. But is Rally de Europe as good as it, or heck, even better? I know that there's one more car class, but if I've already played a lot of Rally de Africa, and even managed to beat Tournament mode with one of the Tune Up cars (AI is much faster, so it's harder overall, if anyone's wondering), is it worth playing?
I think I may have asked you something similar to this before, but the main reason why I'm asking again is because from what I've seen it's just the same game pretty much. The jump from Sega Rally 1 to Sega Rally 2 looks a lot bigger than the jump from Rally de Africa to Rally de Europe at a glance.
Rally de Europe does vary slightly mainly with the graphics as it seems that there is more detail on the car models and environments but the game is harder to play as the tracks are not as wide as the 1st game so you will struggle with certain sections on some of the tracks. Although Rally de Africa feels and resembles Sega Rally a lot more than Rally de Europe.
If I was to pick between the two, both are excellent games but Rally de Africa is the winner as for me 100% as it feels and plays more like Sega rally than Rally de Europe as that is a harder game overall.
From what i've been able to find out, RDAfrica just seems to be more of a favorite among rally fans. It is also easier to pick up & play compared to RDEurope as that is a more difficult game overall. Both are still excellent, i just found that RDAfrica felt more similar to Sega Rally. I would recommend you play them both as they are really good.
@@NeoGeoNinja81 I think both games are epic but I'll admit that Colin Mcrae 1 is my personal favorite. Played it for ages alongside Gran Turismo back in 1998. That was an epic year for racing games.
I agree, parts of the video aren't great & could be better, I just put it down to experience, before i started the channel i had very little experience with video editing & working with setting up emulators correctly but there is plenty of room for improvement which will continue as the channel grows...! We all make mistakes it's all part of the journey...! 😁
@@PSXGamingMemories the reason I was criticizing it is because I like your list and as a PS1 veteran I was happy to see some games that I didn't know of. Thank you for your effort and a kind reply. Cheers!
My fav: CMR2, CMR1, VRally2, Michelin, WRC1. and mention: Makinen steering OK but look poor, and VRally1 & Mobil1 look good but steering terrible. Rest is shit.

Wow, I never knew there were so many rally games on ps1! Thanks for the video
Yea a lot of cool & interesting games here for sure, thanks for watching.
Rally was huge back then. Those were the years of Colin McRae, the Flying "When in doubt, go flat out" Scotsman

There’s something about PS1 rally and Destruction Derby type games that I love so much.
I agree for sure. They have a very unique aesthetic with very different styles, I was always intrigued by the graphics & visuals of these games. At that time back in the 90's it was mind blowing.
I agree that CM2.0 deserves the top spot overall but my personal fave PS1 rally game and deserving of No2 spot > CM1 imo is VRally 2.

It plays even better than its Dreamcast counterpart! 😎
V-Rally 2 is an epic game that is very underrated which is a pity as it has so much to offer, like you said it plays great & the soundtrack is epic. I played the dreamcast version also & i enjoyed it but yea the ps1 version plays better & is easier to get into.
V rally 2 is the most immersive rally ps1 game, it conquered me at the first sight ))
I prefer Rally games typically. Thanks for this list!
The PS1 has some great Rally games for sure
Colin mcrae was the best i remember using a steering wheel for it and it was class
Yup i remember that the game was even more epic to play with the steering wheel, the handling of the cars was spot on with it, excellent game...! 😁😁😁
great video! there are quite a few games on that list that I never played or even heard off. I would put Colin McRae as my personal number 1, just because it was the first one and how amazing it was.

Yea Rally De Africa & Rally De Europe, we didn't get it in Europe, they are excellent games, they play very like Sega Rally on the arcade & Sega Saturn...😁
Which one in terms of visual aspect is the best out of rally games on PS1? I think it would be V-Rally 2 or Rally Championship. Hard choice..
I agree with those choices but I would also consider Colin McRae Rally 2 to be up there although the visuals of the car models in the arcade mode are not as good compared to the single stage rally mode, that is were V-Rally 2 excels as the visual quality never dips regardless of the amount of cars on track, it still looks epic.
Rally de europe looks like sega rally but without any fun
Sega Rally is definitely the better game for sure, I agree, I like this but it isn't as refined as Sega Rally, that game is one of the best Rally games ever...
I'm playing FIA WRC Arcade and enjoying.
Cool, Its a decent game. Well worth a playthrough.
Better to see these games in original resolution. Then maybe your emulator could play them smoothly! Also that’s the best res to play PS1 game’s imo.
2.0 Forever!

Watching this with the volume off (everyone else in hotel room asleep!) but curious to know why RDAfrica score better than RDEurope? 👍

@@PSXGamingMemories
I actually have them both. Was just curious to learn as to what you felt constituted the better game of the two 👍
@@NeoGeoNinja81 I think both games are epic but I'll admit that Colin Mcrae 1 is my personal favorite.
Played it for ages alongside Gran Turismo back in 1998. That was an epic year for racing games.
Richard Burns Rally is still the King of Rally in 2021…
The footage you used is very bad. Lag in picture and sound due to emulation is horrible.
