Racing Game Wreckage
« on: October 22, 2012, 02:55:02 PM »
Just thought I'd post this up as I've hardly seen anything on racing games here.  Now the racing games I'm into are not the kind trying to recreate reality, I prefer the kind where you're trying to wipe your opponents off the road.  This thread is here to post about those games and what are your favorites.

To be honest, any game where you can turn your opponent's cars from speed machines into scrap metal is good with me.
Battlebots 7: LW Quarterfinals - Voltergeist
Battlebots 7: MW Quarterfinals - Dr. Demolition
Battlebots 8: MW Quarterfinals - Dr. Demolition
Battlebots 9: HW Quarterfinals - Texas Tornado
Battlebots 9: Middleweight Champion - Dr. Demolition
Minor Inconveniences: Runners-up - Hot Rod/Voltergeist
TGRR2 IRL: Texas Tornado 11 wins - 10 losses

FlatOut 2 has a much better control than 1, it's just that I'm not that much of a fan of the import tuner scene.

Thinking about my Underground phase just makes me shudder ._.

Destruction Derby and Flatout. Flatout gets the vote. Love the realistic handling.

I've always been a Burnout fan so I guess that one wins...

But I had Burnout on the DS and it was the most atrocious game ever. Still to this day the only game I've bought and traded in (apart from Rock Band which didn't work because I have GH instruments. Derp.)

Flatout 2 will always be dear to my heart.  The car carnage is terrific.

Honorable Mentions go to:
Speed Devils
Burnout 2 and 3
Carmageddon 2

Just an example how crazy Destruction Derby Arenas can get.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNI9uoVu3G0&list=PLC13B83EF1DCC7993&index=1&feature=plpp_video#

As you can see, FlatOut is far more superior than Destruction Derby. :p
