For me it's a tie between these two:

Daytona USA (Dreamcast edition/update/revamp)

Photobucket

And Sega Rally Championship 2

Photobucket

System Wars related because the DC has the best arcade racers :D

But SEGA Saturn and PC get an honourable mention for having the previous versions of each game.

Arcade racers are hardly fun in my oppinnion. The gameplay is to easy, skilless, and dry.

Heh, don't get cocky Sim fan. If you walk into an arcade racer with that kind of attitude you'll get thrashed.

NFS underground 2 or Most wanted.

I loved the insane level of customisation on Underground 2. It was as big a part of the game as the racing and nothing was better than spending a ton doing everything on your car. Hydraulics so it bounced along the road, making your bonnet spew out coloured nitrous gas, Coloured headlamps, glass, vinals and decals, rims that spinned in the opposite direction, speakers, TV in your boot and neon glow from under your car.

Most wanted then brung police chases into the mix which has to be one of the most fun gaming driving experiences ever.

Its a shame EA dropped the ball with the latest instalments but Im hoping ne of the 3 versions theyre making will be just like Underground 2, just for the crazy customisations :D

Yeah, Underground 2 was pretty great. It's pretty sad that it's been so long since the last great nfs.

Yeah. This NFS shift looks interesting, but its the sim for the casuals, and that for me isnt good. Im waiting for their proper fully fledged arcade racer with all the insane customisation. Lambo, dark greay, dark red headlamps and the most menacing body kit ever. Do that and I'll be happy :D

If I'm allowed to take nostalgia into account, I'm gonna say Need for Speed SE. Multiplayer with friends and all that good stuff a decade and a half ago, whee.

IMO F-Zero series, Mario Kart Series, Hydro Thunder, Star Wars Episode 1 Pod Racer (I played the N64 version), Kinetica (Hopefully Sony would make a sequal), Top Gear (SNES), and Wave Race.
