[@sgt.nuclear]

i just clicked this video because i saw a AE86 Panda Treuno

[@victoralcaide6313]

same

[@fabiohuntik]

same.

[@ArbitraryOutcome]

Speaking of such, I don't see a lot of people bringing up Initial D Special Stage. Yeah it was a bit of a downgrade graphics-wise, but it added a story mode (First Stage to the race against Bunta's WRX), additional music, more stages (Shin Myogi, Shin Usui, and Shomaru to name a few), and fixed the overpowered Integra (although this subsequently made the Integra one of the worst cars in the game, and it still is such as far as Arcade Stage 8's tier list is leading me to believe).

[@jordanprice9285]

I clicked on this because I knew it was Gran Turismo 4

[@xXTrabalh0Pesad0Xx]

same here bro

[@SuperHops]

midnight club 3 was the shit I love that game so much

[@queenofthestars5678]

SuperHoppsZ28 _ yeah but before that 2 was the shit

[@jasonguevara4857]

Same bro, that game is like my child, i cherish it so much

[@Baleri0n]

I would sell my soul to play it

[@chemist6851]

I loved this game so much as a child to now . it holds a special place in my heart and is the reason why I’m into cars

[@YungMonn]

same bruh same

[@michaelparks5499]

who else got the (lazy generation) joke

[@Arcaniac]

"We really do live in the lazy generation" Boy that intro is memories and Burnout 3 is the only game I have played split screen with my mum xD

[@Auto.mind.fm.]

VividOxyde same but my dad lol

[@wulflargus]

VividOxyde Ye

[@ryanneedles3861]

OMG SAME 😅

[@jean-jacqueschirac8733]

i remember putting hours on Gran turismo, that game was amazing, still have my ps2 and gran turismo

[@Johnjohnlamenace]

Team Midnight club 3 ❤

[@K4UTION]

what about Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero they were highly unrated I out more hours into that than any of these games mention it wasn't a AAA title but you really saw the heart and dedication put into this game detailed Tokyo highways and a ton of racing clubs and Bosses to face

[@curtiscampbell4452]

So true

[@Its_Gabe_GT7]

Hell yeah. I have a precaution that Genki will make another one in the PS5. So we can enjoy cruising in the Wangan in high graphics and keep the original soundtracks, the crazy customization and add new cars. Sorry if my english are to difficult to read :c. I'm waiting.........

[@jiasiang9217]

I miss the burnout franchise a lot so sad EA didn't continue that franchise anymore 😭😭😭

[@dutchNFSGaming]

there will come a new one

[@jiasiang9217]

dutch NFS Gaming I don't heard any news about it

[@dutchNFSGaming]

No name look at blackpanthaa's channel and you will find info for it :)

[@BlueflagAlpha]

ea kill criterion

[@JoelTestify]

You know that Burnout Paradise was released waaaaay before NFS Rivals, right?

[@JamieBainbridge]

It's amazing to think that GT3 was probably the best game on the system and it was a launch title. Polyphony really knew what they were doing.

[@KvltKommando]

first ps2 games I played and saw in action were breathtaking in terms of their realism compared to the previous era

[@jason96]

What about Juiced?

[@sints_9100]

JASON OFWGKTA yeah where is juiced it should be number 1

[@jammygamer8961]

i think Juiced should be number 2

[@gyula6516]

JASON OFWGKTA and nfs prostreet

[@randy0210]

+Gyula RS6 Pro Street if not one of the worst, is the worst of the whole NFS game series.

[@sints_9100]

Touch My Nipples no nfs rivals is the worst

[@spuddy98]

1. Burnout 3 2. Gran Turismo 4 3. Toca 3 4. Burnout Revenge 5. Flatout 2

[@NokiA-ip4ik]

Flatout 1 was better than the second one

[@CaptainFrenchFri]

Flatout 2? Stuntman Ignition? Test Drive? Need for Speed underground?

[@TheNicoxoxD]

flatout 2 its very short, underground repetitive, test drive is very good to be honest

[@markwatson3248]

Flatout 2 is good but it's too slippery with the physics when driving, ya know? Burnout 3 still feels perfect

[@BullworthGraduate]

matizu - And yet _Underground_ was ( *is* ) better than _Underground 2_ .

[@hectorsequi5252]

Stuntman ignition? Kidding, no?

[@TheUnoriginalDrCorgi]

Clayton Luce yeah, no

[@quadraforest]

Flatout 1? Juiced 1? NEED FOR SPEED UNDERCOVER AND UNDERGROUND 2?! Where the fuck are they?

[@tudythegangster]

In the garbage bin.

[@epicdude209]

+Maxwell Tanner So you have taken them to your house?

[@tudythegangster]

I'm not following.

[@TheMammalizerOLD]

I can understand that about the ps2 version of undercover but not the other game. especially nfsu2

[@Andboi55]

Undercover? What? There was no undercover

[@vickepedian2948]

I absolutely loved Choro-Q because not only was it diverse with the stuff you could apply to your vehicle but also the mini missions and the characters that had their own personality and their one time missions which felt unique and different from any other missions. I liked the tracks though because they looked different from every other tracks including the extended tracks that always suprised me so it was a very diverse game and it may not be the most appreciated and beloved game but it was one of the most diverse games of it's time

[@tropixx_xlr1549]

NFS HP2 deserves at least a mention. It's simply one of the best racing games on PS2. I'm a sucker for racers that allow you to race sports to prototype race cars at high speeds and thrills in exotic locales! I love it a lot!

[@r3h4n786]

I loved MCLA Dub edition remix, played it so much and probably spent hours and hours in the garage

[@_mrk347_]

Same here

[@thedailyshaver1171]

Who remembers a game on the ps2 called over the hedge

[@official_projectgarage]

Joe Sharples omg yes 😂

[@thedailyshaver1171]

Meme_Gaming nice

[@muhammadahsan4524]

Was this game good I still play on ps2 plz reply

[@danielcastrillon7643]

This list resume almost all my favorites from ps2 era. The exception was MicroMachines that I didn't play it, and maybe I miss FlatOut 2 that was very fun with all these challenges where the pilot is thrown from the car, to hit targets or make larger distances.

[@janettejones4302]

nice vid mate. you earned a sub.

[@Smilodonfatalis175]

2:51 godfather of racing games

[@CaramelArrowCookieOwO]

0:45 is better (IMO)

[@donsancho8344]

#5, #3, & #1 were the best on this list. so nostalgic ;(

[@CaramelArrowCookieOwO]

Midnight Club 3 is always being one of my fav PS2 and PSP GAME

[@theofficialemergencyservic7881]

Need for speed carbon is 1 of my most fav games on ps2 back in the days

[@andyslater5558]

The nostalgia on that game man

[@Imufur]

micro machines was really fun to play with friends, tons of cars, a lot of varied tracks, spent a lot of afternoons playing that

[@K3MBR0]

My personal Top 5: 5. Burnout Revenge 4. Gran Turismo 3 3. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 2. Gran Turismo 4 1: Need for Speed: Most Wanted

[@Ik3bet86]

one of my favs that really got my into racing games and tuning as a hobby was Tokyo Xtreme Racing Zero.

[@albertg7601]

Great List :)

[@clubmeringue]

LA Rush, Test Drive Unlimited, Gran Turismo 4 or Burnout Revenge should have been first. Burnout Revenge especially as it improves again on what 3 was

[@daftbence]

Ayrton Bondzanga Agreed about Burnout and it was also a console exclusive, while Test Drive was better on PC

[@clubmeringue]

userful1 Yeah PC was better for Test Drive. It's rare nowadays to see a solid Console to PC port but its common to see a really good PC to Console port. That's why I'm convinced Dirt Rally will go down as one of the best PS4 games because the port from PC was so good

[@coisnotpog]

Ayrton Bondzanga TDU1 was weird. it as on PS2 and PSP. Besides the visuals the PSP version was EXACTLY the same as the PS2 version. Oddly, it was the same on Xbox 360 as PC, but never saw a PS3 release.

[@Comuzzy]

Ayrton Bondzanga Ummmmmm TDU, how I love this game.

[@clubmeringue]

Doug Bedo Yeah I never realised until now that most ps2/psp games where exactly the same graphics wise. If only the ps vita lived up to the psp. Gonna jailbreak mine so I can play my old psp titles again

[@vukakovic7787]

On the topic of underrated gems, Ridge Racer V shines real bright

[@djhero0071]

I feel like two games that everyone that's ever considered themselves a gamer has played at some point are either NFS Underground 2 or Most Wanted. And anyone remember a little game called Road Trip Adventure?

[@TheNinjaMonkey43]

the fact that you put burnout 3 as number 1 made me smile bigger than i ever have, burnout 3 is my favorite game of all time, i have over a month and a half played on destiny, and i think i still have more time spent on burnout 3, honestly i dont think ive ever played and loved a game as much as i loved byrnout 3 as a kid

[@josephtfc]

juiced how did you missed that

[@gabe_itch_9119]

Just a average Commentator juiced is the best game ever i agree

[@Shiteux]

Just a average Commentator Juiced 2 :)

[@StarDustTF2]

Just a average Commentator ikr

[@LXO_TC]

AND THEY FORGOT JUICED

[@coreytrevorsmokesletsgo8437]

Just a average Commentator what about SRS street racing syndicate ? that was my favourite

[@ArbitraryOutcome]

Initial D Special Stage, anyone? Also, additional mentions to the Shutoko Battle games (TXR Zero and 3), Juiced 1, and Nascar Thunder 2004 (06 comes a close second for me IMO).

[@TheNicoxoxD]

initial d series suck the handling is soooo bad and arcade and the levels are so boring

[@ArbitraryOutcome]

I'm guessing you just suck at it then. Arcade racers typically tend to be more difficult for some people.

[@zuhlera]

You put the 86 from initial D in the gran turismo part?? :)???

[@Ihelpanytime]

I looked in the thumbnail I clicked I know Gran Turismo is somewhere here :)

[@daftbence]

For me, burnout revenge is the ultimate bestest racing game for ps2, I got it with my ps2 for christmas and I played the hell out of it

[@meetthemoo225]

userful1 "bestest"

[@daftbence]

Golf Wang Yep :D

[@wolfgang_grows]

I just recently discovered Outrun Coast to Coast 2006. It's definitely among my top 5 racing games for the ps2...

[@tensevo]

great arcade racer that

[@Ralkila]

Do you have any tutorial on when to make the gear changes in racing games? like in gran turismo or in general? i mean what's the science behind to get the best out of playing MT and not AT in any game? please consider the idea.

[@Gretri17]

This list is pretty accurate. I’d say Burnout 3 is my Number 1. But, I have a hidden gem I’d like to mention: Wild Wild Racing. Like GT3, it was a launch title for the PS2. Although unlike GT3, WWR takes on an arcade like look and is more zany. WWR is a SUPER hard game and is recommended for those who want a challenge

[@sergiooliveira1127]

My top 5: Need for Speed Underground 2 - (Back in that day I was a proud ricer) Test Drive: Unlimited - (Super cars, huge map, great driving experience) WRC Evolved - ( Best rally game ever made) ToCa Race Driver 3 - (Formula 1, Nascar, Monster trucks, GT's, touring cars, Classics, what do you need more? ) Gran Turismo 4 - (The best simulator at the time... its was the game that changed my life as a kid... Its crazy how impressive that game still looks and feels!)

[@leonardojimenez8560]

burnout 3 takedown was my game. I unlocked all the cars and beat every race in the hardest difficulty and I had so many memories with that game

[@sole__doubt]

Makes me wanna get my old PS2 out and play some Gran Turismo 4. :)

[@Ihelpanytime]

Burnout 3: Best Arcade Gran Turismo 4: Best simulation Modern consoles* Forza Horizon: Best Arcade Gran Turismo 6/Sport: Best simulation

[@AchiragChiragg]

Neither Gran Turismo 6 nor sport is a full on simulation game. That would be Assetto Corsa or Project Cars series

[@pandaguzman664]

love playing Forza horizon on my ps2

[@miguelfincomaidame5145]

Gt sport is shite, it dont have many cars

[@euanwalker4436]

Man, there was this really underrated game called "Crash N' Burn". It was amazing.

[@ascarikz1r733]

"I want every single units everytime. Everyone? EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!"

[@AhmadWahelsa]

gay

[@ascarikz1r733]

Ahmad Wahelsa i love you.

[@ascarikz1r733]

Ahmad Wahelsa hey babe

[@AhmadWahelsa]

stop gay

[@AhmadWahelsa]

fuck you

[@layerp]

The best thing is that at least 3 of this 5 PS2 games still among the top 10 racing games of *all time*

[@davidgrovegrove6985]

Great list ps 2 was a masterpiece of a console so many great racing games

[@Megacooler96_]

hell yes...Burnout 3 Takedown...I also liked Flat out 2, Nascar 2007, Midnight Club 3 Los Angeles, Pro Street Racer, NFS Underground 2, ect...

[@djhero0071]

Los Ángeles was PS3 dude. And technically it was 4

[@alnikoamri1779]

idk bout y'all but, arcade style racing games is my most favorite. It's so fun

[@gizmo3209]

My list: 1) Gran Turismo 4 2) Test drive unlimited 3) Need for speed Underground 2 4) Midnight club 3 5) Juiced

[@AustinoDLG]

Midnight Club 2 was my absolute favorite on the PS2. It took you to a different world.

[@clubbruges4life]

i played gt4 and 3,flatout 1and 2 mc3 and nfs 1,2 and most wanted damn i miss those days so much

[@keith2957]

Toca Race Driver 3!!! It was like 50 racing games in 1!

[@Saturn185]

why the sound issues in the most wanted footage? other than that great vid as always...

[@sonicradioetuf]

One of my most fave PS2 Racing games is a train racing one that goes by the name X-treme express world grand prix which was released in 2002 and it's not really well known racing game but it is a hell of a lot fun but it can get pretty repetitive on easy.

[@Frightenerd]

this may sound wierd, but the driving apects of the fast and the furious tokyo drift game are really fun and enjoyable, and the cars had different feels to it, like weight and torque that really made a difference

[@anakinGTI]

Toca race driver..

[@Mfaiz1994]

Nobodies really talking about the greatest game on ps2 NFS underground 1-2 were you can customize so much

[@harayoursenpai1180]

SHUTOKOU BATTLE BEATS ALL

[@asura___82]

Tokyo xtreme racer 3!!

[@harayoursenpai1180]

silvergbasp13 Ahhh.....Kaido Battle 3......I know that game ! In fact, I have it ! I am fully aware that it has tons of initial D references as that its the reason why that game exists ! Shutokou Battle has Wangan Midnight references in it ! Both series have references from real-time and as well as both mangas ! They are both great ! Kaido Battle 3 is my second favorite game ! First is Shutokou Battle X ! thanks for your suggestion anyways ! -Nama

[@asura___82]

I've played Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2, loved that too! I've also played Shutokou Battle X or Import Tuner Challenge. Liked the gameplay but the whole story lacked something. It's a shame we won't see racing games under Genki.

[@harayoursenpai1180]

Nahim Islam I believe that another series MIGHT come out either from Shutokou Battle or Kaido Battle. Genki is active on twitter so that where I am hoping they actually release another game.

[@asura___82]

NamaYourSENPAI hopefully that is the case

[@stukafish4256]

I f*cking agree!! Burnout 3 Takedown had the best music from 2004, and it's physics were ace at the time and I am so with you on this one that Burnout 3 takedown is THE best racing/takedown/explode your car kind of a game that has ever been invented!! It was a BIG part of my childhood too!!

[@stukafish4256]

I still own a PlayStation 2 and this is the ENTIRE list of the games I played on it: The Great Escape, Test Drive Unlimited, Burnout 1, Burnout 2: point of impact, Burnout 3 takedown, Burnout Revenge, 007 Nightfire, 007 Everything Or Nothing, James Bond 007 in...Agent Under Fire, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, Rayman Raving Rabids, Tomb Raider: Angel Of Darkness, NFS Underground, NFS Underground 2, NFS Pro Street, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec, Gran Turismo 4 A-Spec, F1 04, F1 05, Stuntman Ignition, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, NFS Undercover, Micro Machines, GT Racers, Pacific Warriors II: Dogfight, World War II: Tank Battles, Secret Weapons Over Normandy, The Simpsons: Road Rage, The Simpsons: Hit & Run , TOCA: Racedriver and more but I can't remember them...

[@chibiy2j775]

But what about Colin McRae Rally 3 & 04 ?

[@user-uf4qr7os4s]

Juiced 2 should be #1, best physics in drift, unique cars, good graphics, actually challenging story...

[@jackjackson-moore5848]

I was in love with midnight club 3

[@Boss-mg3kg]

I have a ps2 on 2021 and still love it

[@emu55]

i have most wanted and burnout and they are both great :)

[@zombiexshaunx5651]

juiced best ps2 game ever

[@Moe_Shindeiru]

I really enjoyed Cars the videogame, WRC Rally Evolved, NFS Carbon, NFS Underground 1 & 2 and a few more Rally games but I can’t remember all of they’re names at the moment

[@DerEinzige21]

You can't talk about nfs games without bringing up Carbon and The Underground games.

[@monkeyreplays6021]

I loved all these games i missed Tokyo extreme ricer zero that much that I bought a ps2 and the game again.

[@keithscorroschool]

Race Driver 3 (it had title differences worldwide) is by far one of the best racing games, if not the best on the PS2.

[@habibsspirit]

Boy oh boy I'd probably put a thousand hours in each of these games as kid, maybe even more, I remember skipping classes just to play them.

[@lurkerrekrul]

Re-watching this video after having tried the Micro Machines games, I have to say that I absolutely hate them. The graphics are cute and I like the idea of racing little cars around a (seemingly) giant world. What kills it for me is that the game comes to a grinding halt every ten f***ing seconds! Who in their right mind thought it was a good idea to make a "racing" game where you wait for a countdown, go around a corner and then stop, wait for a countdown, go around a corner and stop, wait for a countdown, go around a corner and then stop... I want to race, not constantly keep stopping. Seriously, have the people who designed these games ever played a racing game in their life? Or seen a race on TV? Or understand the concept of a car race?

[@blazethefox1621]

Burnout 3, GT3 and NFSMW/U2 were myf avourites and still are - i still play them today (GT and B3 are emulated though)

[@gorrilaunit99]

ENTHUSIA!!!

[@CiverBeats]

gorrilaunit99 I loved it always the random selector at the end of the race and you were so gutted when you got a shitty car

[@Flowermouth]

Only correct answer in the comments

[@greenfoam]

You know what you are talking about brother.

[@FazeCyborg2024]

Nice

[@conorfarrell8874]

Tokyo Xtreme Racer series was really underated and the name and japenese style might have made it unattractive for some people it had some of the simulation touch to it with good customization options for cars especially in the later games

[@K4UTION]

uwot m8 exactly I was hook on these games especially Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero it is one of my my top 3 ps2 racers

[@tomisyrja8933]

When i was kid. I play midnight 3 dub edition remix, destruction derby arenas and burnout 3 takedown.

[@highlineR32]

Help please! I am searching for a PS2 Game I always played at (I think at 2004 or 2005) It is a Car Race where you drive around in a City and then you have to drive behind a other car then you have to give him a headlight flash and then the race start. There are different types of drivers and if you win you get his car and you can use for the next race. I searching for the game 1 Year now but I can not find it. Please Help me! Thx!

[@mikauehara7777]

I am a simple man. I saw a AE86 Hachi-Roku Panda Trueno, i click+ i like the video.

[@Aldaszs1]

well I think its hard to cover all the ps2 games, because there is actually thousands of good games, juiced was good, but the controls and the sound where kinda flimsy, on gt3 I just spent nights playing, then got stuck on like 54% because I was too young to understand how to tune cars for long tracks, flatout2 was just awesome, specially if you just love to smash things, undercover aswell, on ps2 it was very similar to nfs mw, but I was amazed that they even managed to make it work! ps2 era will just never be forgotten, nowadays games got different for all platforms, you buy the game, then you spend like triple the price just to get expansions, on ps2 era those games were called demos... damn I miss those good times

[@TheShadeManGuitar]

my list 1.nfs most wanted 2.nfs carbon 3.nfs pro street 4.midnight club 3 5.nfsu2

[@xXToXiiCDOGZz]

burnout 3 takedown is my favourite game ever. I'm listening his soundtrack everyday xd

[@chargeduphellcat4937]

sucks there not making anymore burnouts makes me wanna cry. even the paradise city was a huge success as the best ps3 racing game ever played

[@deathkingcheetah1337]

5. Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition 4. Need For Speed: Undercover 3. Gran Tourismo 3 2. Need For Speed: Carbon Honorary Mentions. Need For Speed: Underground 2 (SO CLOSE TO 1), Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Burnout 3, Burnout: Revenge 1. Midnight Club 2

[@gavingaulin29]

YES I AGREE, ive been searching through the comments and youre literally the only one who commented midnight club 2. it was by far my favorite. i played that game inside-out and back again

[@arian3837]

memories

[@ja1pa]

Emthusia, NFS Pro Street, and Gran Turismo 4 are the absolute best for PS2

[@dreamer0113]

Please help someone. There was one game that had this black and purple menu with dope menu music. Please what game was it. (On Ps2)

[@selectjed1]

tourist trophy?

[@davidlee2971]

micro machines was amazing :D had it on PC

[@theneedforspeeder9575]

NFS MW, NFS U2, GT4, Road Trip Adventure

[@Ignamore15]

Enthusia was also an incredible game...

[@mattnova18]

TOPCARSNET it's different, but not that fun really

[@CiverBeats]

TOPCARSNET i love your pic

[@kleponojitchi9996]

when i was a child, i played racing game, but i don't remember what's name 1. it was at night race 2. graphics i think a little childish but very cool (such as nfs) 3. some of the racetracks got jump, so when the car fly, you have the wings appeared right below the car (side skirts) can you tell me what's it? i'm dying to play it again thank you!

[@zhgt8853]

you just gained a sub 😘

[@IvarsONE]

Cool

[@clgmotorsport3021]

My list: 5.NFS Underground 1 4.R Racing Evolution ( Very Underrated) 3.Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 2.Tourist Trophy 1.Gran Turismo 3

[@Ihelpanytime]

Before saying number 1, I've heard in the background "Tuh!" And I knew it it will be Burnout 3 :D

[@camerontenardi229]

play V8 supercars 3! (I think it's called Toca 3 away from australia), but it's brilliant! best racing game I ever played. still play it to this day.

[@shedboy4lyf]

I would have swapped Most Wanted for Underground 2. Apart from that, great list Dre.

[@MotorenKaiser]

i have midnight Club 3 remix and it is so awesome!
