I' d forgotton about the rallysports!

1 & 2 are fantastically playable games, with funny physics in the first one leaving hours of laughs with 3 other mates.

Massively overlooked arcade racing, and defo the best looking 4 player driving games on the XBox. I seriously hope there is plans for an outing on the 360. Everyone that has played either of them around mine previously has loved them.

But I doubt reviewers do the whole multiplayer thing really with CMR etc.. around. You just can' t compare them as there are basically different genres.

well Sim I would have to go with
Ferrari F355 Challenge (Dreamcast) I played that demo quite a bit

Also I like Biker Mice from Mars (SNES)
Mario Kart and Double Dash
Daytona (SS)
I wish Crazy Taxi was A Racing Game
Road Rash Tour de Force(GEN)
F-Zero GX But story mode is kinda hard
Rush 2049 (DC)
Can' t think of anything else right now

But Outrun 2 Looks to be exactly what I like

You could count Crazy Taxi as a race against time. In that case it' s high on my list also. I haven' t seen CT2 for sale in ages and somehow I didn' t know there was a CT3 for Xbox! I can' t believe I' d forgotten how much I liked Sega Rally (and Daytona, though not nearly as much) on Saturn. One of the coolest Saturn games ever has to be Scorcher, a racer a bit like WipeOut. Two things I look for in a car game are big hills and a good feeling of acceleration, hopefully with a nice engine sound. I really think I should have played the Burnout games by now.

Well if anyone remembers was Top Gear 3000 fun I think I remember it as such
racing game (non sim) are so easy to get right yet...

WipEout Pulse...

Stunt Car Racer

Burnout 3: Takedown or TDR(I think it' s called 2000 or something)

Mario Kart. I don' t typically like the more realistic racing games, but the last one I do recall playing that I liked was NFS:MW.
