Seconded.

Also, Rush 2049 is great too. Daytona USA 2001 is fun but the physics differ from the arcade.

My pick is Hydro Thunder, its an awesome arcade boat racing game with courses throughout the world. Loaded with tons of waves and jumps, its hard not like this game.

Total fail on forgetting Hydro Thunder -- I HAVE that game :(

This is a good thread for me too to find new games I may not have heard of!

Any thoughts here on Sega GT? I have seen mixed reviews on it leaning on the poor side, rushed, etc.

It's terrible IMHO. Just get the Gran Turismo 2 Bleem if you want a "racing sim". Alternatively, there's Test Drive Le Mans which is great on the Dreamcast.

Sega GT looks horrible, the controls feel floaty and terrible. There's not that many cars, and none of them feel fast. It was just not a very good game.
I'm still not sure whether I'm a kid or a squid now.

It is fun. But one thing that's always bothered me is that I always want to drive around and just explore, and the game doesn't allow that. You have to pick up your fare within a certain amount of time and then get them where they're going in a certain amount of time.

I don't really like Crazy Taxi. I always hated the taxi missions in GTA games and Crazy Taxi pretty much takes that and turns it into a full-blown game. Besides, wouldn't I be better off getting the HD re-release?

I'm going with Hydro Thunder, Rush 2049, Tokyo Extreme Racer 2 and Pod Racer.

Any thoughts on Vanishing Point? I personally liked it, and I thought all the extra stunt events, and challenges were neat.
