UPDATE FROM THE METACRITIC FRONT: As the first kindles of daylight pierce the cold night, driving the Moon back below the Castle, a based peace descends upon our fair land. Gran Turismo 4 has claimed its rightful place at the top of the User Reviews list with a proud 9.0 rating. Rejoice brothers and sisters and rest easy, for our day of reprieve is at hand.

I wrote a review for Gran Turismo 4 on November of 2021, saying it was a disservice that it was robbed from the "Must Play" badge by ONE MEASLY POINT. Seeing it get the love it deserves and it now being the player's consensus best racing game of all time makes me happy...even if it took dozens, if not, hundreds to vouch for it. It was my comfort game from my childhood 🙂

[@Ferrari255GTO]

Tryng to compete with GT4 back in the day was the hardest most titanic task to take, to the point that the only competitor who persevered was Forza Motorsport because they were making stuff that was advanced for the time, so much in fact that GT5 and 6 feel closer to Forza Motorsport physics-wise than they do to GT4.

[@andipajeroking]

I am playing it right now, and i must say, it has one of the best progression of everything. It s like Pro Street, but better. It s on par with TDU. It s the Gothic of the racing games.

Gameplay - 10 Graphics - 10 1/10 too much sand - Ign

[@AleksanderBrunsch3]

What makes Metacritic bad in this case is that it doesn't filter out games that have probably 5 reviews or so, that's why there's so many niche titles in this. That's why when you can see a shift from one rating to another, like from 8.8 to 8.9, you go from a plethora of GOATs to something... not crappy, but out of place for sure. If there was a rating based on some kind of ration between positive reviews and the actual amount of them, that would probably give a better indication.

[@Eichro]

Also worth noting most of the ranking is just ties anyway. It's not like NFSU>NFSU2>NFSMW, it's just that they have the exact same score. EDIT: I said this but on a second thought IDK if metacritic stores a more "granular" score its based on and it just displays up to the first decimal in the inferface

[@AleksanderBrunsch3]

@@Eichro I'd argue that they are not exactly ties. What you can observe is that the more popular titles seem to be on top of their rating groups, so my guess would be that they sort it by rating first, but then, if the rating is equal, they sort it by the amount of reviews. Obviously that's a guess, but seems probable.

[@MaxRamos8]

MC User score is even WORSE, gets biased from review bombing. At least on steam it has an overall to help mitigate them

[@insoporous9978]

On the other hand, if the rating was weighted by number of reviews, then almost exclusively popular titles would be at the top, and ALL those under-the-radar gems would be pushed even further into the shadows. Overall, review rankings suck A bunch of Xbox users can go bomb Gran Turismo with low scores just to spite. A bunch of Playstation users can go bomb Forza with low scores just to spite. A bunch of Nintendo users will give max scores to every Mario Kart even if it's shit simply because they love Nintendo and anything they produce. But that's just users. For "professional" critics, the same thing applies but also they are frequently given bonuses and are paid by companies to give higher scores. It's all some heavy bias or another. Best thing you can do is find one or two, maybe a handful of people out there, whether professional critics or youtubers or whatever, who will give honest and detailed reviews. Find someone you feel you can trust, not just someone who will validate your favorites or their own.

[@scottjs5207]

@@insoporous9978 this should honestly be the pinned comment. It would be nice for a group of racing gamers with respectable and well thought out opinions to put a rankings list together. Guys like Whitelight, or car guys like That Dude in Blue, Bladed Angel etc. who will go back to older titles and experience as much of the game as possible to form solid opinion.

[@tanssi2145]

It’s possibly my favourite game of all time, I still find myself going back to it, Choro Q is another game from the series with an absolutely hilarious story line where your best friend dies and you avenge him by becoming president of the world, it’s even more ridiculous than it sounds 11/10 RECOMMEND Cars speak in hilarious broken English, one of the best exploration / side hustle games of all time, customisation is unmatched, Easter eggs galore, random 1 off occurrence events, near impossible to complete 100%, Road Trip has an endless globe map, I could seriously go on all day, even more games in the series but Roadtrip #1 Choro Q #2 !!! They are far from ‘perfect’ but OMG the charm that comes with exactly that is simply one of a kind

[@micromaniac6176]

[@Weirdo9494]

Probably also worth mentioning that the game has plenty of performance upgrades and the gameplay shown was, like...literally mom's minivan-tier starter performance. Not saying the racing itself suddenly becomes amazing, but it does get much better. Easily one of my favorite games and criminally underappreciated. The exploration, the collecting, the just...weird quirkiness of Choro-Q can't really be matched and I'm sad they don't make these games anymore.

[@kingstonteoh2178]

Just by looking at footage of CTR i totally understand why people would question why it is first, but the gameplay itself is really, really good. The handling and the physics are incredible on the PS1 and the game offers variety and a lot of fun with or without friends. Should it be first? Probably not, but it does belong on this list for sure.

[@VexAcer]

It's even more wild when you realize it was Naughty Dog's first time making a kart racer, a racing game in general. And they completely nailed it so hard on the first time. The remake is amazing as well. It respects the skill-based aspects of the original and even improves upon it by making the visual telegraphs of boosting easier to see.

[@midosyt]

ChoroQ/Road trip are GOD TIER GAMES. Absolutely fun with unique maps, fun tracks, a racing team system and unique parts to unlock by talking to different cars across the maps. The game had so much personality and soul! The mini games were spectacular, the photo shops and stamps made the game really worth trying for 100%, the music (specifically peach radio) was bomb.. oh and my gosh the parts and bodies you can get were so awesome. The passion of the devs were great! For a game you can get for $5 in the 00's it was an ultimate time waster. Absolutely deserving of top ten truly. I got my steam deck just for PS2 Emulator to play it on the go 😂 Also the open world was GIANT. Great time.

[@chaos2mymind489]

I honestly wish they made another Road trip in that style, couldn’t get into chroro q as much! Imagine a modern version with a bigger map etc. wouldn’t be as limited as forza on graphics so better open world! Also enjoyed seek and destroy honestly (not a car game but still fun)

[@VexAcer]

The scope of the open world is more impressive when you consider how small the dev team was along with their lower budget. It's fairly empty in the places they don't expect you to explore yeah. But there are zero invisible walls, the ocean floor is completely modelled, and you cross the edge of the world you even get looped around to the other side like if it was a planet.

[@Journey_to_who_knows]

Didn’t they make like 5 games with the same name, some of them were really sh!t too I remember, the one without a open world.

[@VexAcer]

@@Journey_to_who_knows The naming scheme for the franchise is infamously bad & inconsistent when it got localized into North America & Europe. In Japan the names were straightforward, the PS2 era games being referred to as Choro Q HG 1 through 4. The games typically switched devs between each one hence the differences in gameplay style or quality. HG1 / Gadget Racers (NA) / Penny Racers is a normal track racer, it's pretty mid. HG2 / Road Trip (NA) / Road Trip Adventure (EU) The fan favorite w/ it's open world & a bunch of stuff to do. HG3 / Gadget Racers (EU) Direct sequel to Road Trip by the same devs. They made improvements to certain parts from the last. Didn't come out in America despite already being translated into English in Europe. HG4 / Choro Q (NA/EU) Called the Japanese name for some reason. From the devs who made HG1, it adopts more of an RPG style with a large emphasis on a storyline. No real open world but there are multiple towns you can explore. The most egregious naming example is in Europe. There's both a PS2 and GameCube game named Gadget Racers with the SAME COVER. If you didn't know any better you'd think it was multiplatform, but no it's two completely different games.

I know you said F Zero is a bit before your time, and that you don't care much for hover racing games, but F Zero GX is legitimately one of the greatest racing games ever made. Once you get used to the physics and speed, there's nothing else quite like it. The sense of speed is unmatched by anything else I've played. It's also brutally hard too, but that's part of the fun :)

[@delorean8526]

Throwing my hat into the ring regarding Road Trip Adventure. The best way to describe the game is a standard (if basic) JRPG with cars. You can partner up with other racers and pool winnings (basically an adventure party), complete minigames and discover secrets, get photographed at a bunch of locations, and other activities. While the graphics have definitely aged (it works better on a blurry tv compared to the crisp emulated output), it still is a good game to go through. It also is one of the few games I have on my phone to play using an emulator.

Yeah, it literally has its own dedicated page for speedruns and explanation of mechanics. Is far from being your typical kart racer which many wouldnt understand by just looking at a youtube video. CTR at times feels like a kart racer mixed with an actual racer. And there is even a remake of that game. If CTR doesnt deserve top 10 then there is something wrong with this world.

Commenting again for you to try Supercar Street Challenge, I don't hear of many people revisiting this early PS2 launch title. It was PGR style street racing with some licensed supercars but had this cool mechanic where you were a supercar designer trying to compete to create the fastest machine. You unlocked various parts/designs throughout the career. Not sure of how dated the graphics and physics may be but the car creator was kinda cool.

[@TyCal_]

Never heard of that game but it sounds really similar to a game called Racing Evoluzione on the original Xbox where you were also a car designer and would race these really over the top looking concept cars against real production cars

Road Trip being top 10 might be a stretch, but for real, it's based to give it that kind of recognition. I really think you should check out it and maybe some of the other ChoroQ games. Yes they're low-budget games and stuff like physics and AI are quite lacking, but they just have so much creativity and personality to them. Downhill Domination even counting as a racing game when the SSX franchise doesn't makes zero sense and that's not on anyone but Metacritic themselves. They're the same thing, so either they're both racing games or they're both sports games like SSX.

Most Wanted on the GameCube is not really impressive. The GameCube had more computing power than the PS2, but was massively handicapped by the minidisk. So roughly speaking if the PS2 could run it, the GameCube could run that with ease, as long as the game fits onto the disk.

The main issue with metacritic reviews is that the score does NOT takes into account the number of reviews. So a mobile game can easily get higher score due to having less reviews while a proper game can rate lower due to having more reviews where the average score is more likely to be lower due to the amount of reviews. Sadly they won't fix this seeing as it's been the issue with them since 2001.

[@hartonosutrisno5452]

The main reason why Crash Team Racing was 1st rank because we as players always play this on 4-player mode. You really dont understand how this game have much more impact than Gran Turismo 1-4 did. The game itself was simple, but the skill was extremely required to beat the N.Oxide challenge where he will gone 1st before us and taking KNOWN SHORTCUTS to make it almost impossible to beat him. Every single day we always tried to find an alternative shortcuts where we need to shave more time even if it was 0.01 secs and we finally beat him after 1 month passed where we take turns to beat his record by wide margin. You really need to master advanced skill especially timing the power-slide turbos and air-braking for sharper cornering in some tracks, this is the main weapon to stay ahead from other players and once you mastered it, you literally make yourself become god-speed. Gran Turismo on the other hand become boring and stale as new series released, all you did was fine-tuning and having your own racing style, thats what you need. What we need right now is a racing game where you dont need crazy-grinding and fun to play with everyone regardless of skill you have, all we see right now is MTX and DLC everywhere since PS3 and X360 release.

Please check it out, you will not regret it. The people who have actually played the game will agree it has deserveed its top 10 placement on this list.

Loved the Kamikazegames reference

That Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero video looks like a bowling alley animation 56:40

[@Manic_Panic]

CTR and Burnout 3 on the top 2? Couldn't have asked for better... well, I'd swap the original CTR with CTR Nitro Fueled but still. I assume the reason it wasn't on this list is because it was review bombed after MTX were added to the game. Regardless, it's very cool to see my 2 most favorite racing games of all time be the people's choice as well!

If I remember correctly Road Trip is otherwise known as Choro Q HG(2?). Has its own real toy line irl that still continues till this day. It looks scuffed compared to others below it in the ranking and I agree its weird (in a good way it has its own style though), but you might want to try it or its newer versions (I recommend Choro Q HG4). Customization of the car goes by body system instead of changing cars directly, and game has lots of unlicensed car bodies based on real cars, (as you saw in the play vid theres an RX7 FB body, Cosmo 110S body, etc), a staple of the series. Storyline is goofy ahh but tracks are pretty alright.

That outro is so fucking good lmao

Hey dustin, don't know if you'll read this, but there is a PS3 version of Daytona USA. It is the version visually closest to the arcade machines and runs pretty much flawlessly, just a few visual artifacts.

Gba racing games be crazy, a rabbit hole in of itself. There's like this one hot wheels game on it where it's 3D low poly, though it's a relatively simple game but it's kinda cool

[@felipeferreira00]

Freekstyle be good af, i remember playing it with my friends on the ps2.

[@goosemanVEVO]

I happen to have a PS2 copy of Downhill Domination. I found it a helluva lot of fun as a kid.

[@BoxOfKrabs]

I was never expecting kamikazegames to show up on this channel lol

[@BigPundo]

Did anyone ever play Groove Rider? Feel like I never see anyone mention it, not that it deserves to be in the top 100.

[@wanganjen8013]

I somewhat agree CTR is the GOAT 😂 it brings me memories for fun multiplayer with my sister. Maybe that's why CTR is the best? Comfy sofa kart racing with carnage style added (if you play with your friend)

[@Kaceydotme]

Outrun 2/2006 are up there with my favorites of all time. You should check em out soon

[@BartekSzzz]

I actually used to play GT Advance 3 on the real GBA SP, there's GT Advance 2 as well I guess. It's amazing to play and really looks astonishing on such a small screen. It deserves a video, and you Dustin deserves to experience this game! :D

[@m.ganisakhaf.7940]

Dustin would you rather have unlimited currywurst but no racing games? Or racing games, unlimited racing games but no racing games?🤔

[@damianea103]

Truly, the question of all time

[@Louganda]

Ah yes truly siliphophical

[@Theforzacrew916]

Do more of this its amzing love ur content

[@dextera808]

The ending of this video really interesting, really peak gaming moment 😂

[@whoslinny]

oh my god I just finished watching the other video, how convenient THANK YOU

[@JaNieWie]

The ending is PURE GOLD!

[@TheSaint491]

Great what the racing community does when it bonds together. Now we need some new games to boost: blur? Driver San Francisco? Midnight club la? Grid? Dirt 2? Suggestions

[@20ege008]

2006 outrun, holy shit it gave me huge nostalgia. Bro in turkey this was the default game in arcade saloons (and still even is). You go to a shopping mall, boom its there. You go to an amusement park, boom its there. This game solely got me into racing games and eventually getting into sim racing and motoesports.

[@darkblader06]

Tourist Trophy emulation is broken if you want the full experience, mostly due to the license test being bugged to hell.

[@aavant17]

Shoutout to Freekstyle making the list. Great memories with that game.

[@patg1094]

I had MX Vs ATV Unleashed growing up and it was cool AF, it even had planes and helicopters in it you could fly for some reason.

[@youraverageguy7842]

With NT2004 the gameplay is mostly the same between that and the previous game and game after but 2004 has the best career progression which is why it’s so recommended. I’d also recommend at least trying Dirt to Daytona for the career mode too
