Spurred on by this thread, thought I'd put all the games we NEED to have BC in one thread. I'll try and keep the first post updated.
(Yes I know there's a download service for old games now, but if you've already bought all the good games, no need to buy them again).
Note, this isn't for games that would be nice to have BC. It's for games that should be first in line! Feel free to discuss and query other people's choices. Ideally we'd end up with 10 games that everyone agrees has to be first priority.
So state your case!
My first choice would have to be Rallisport Challenge 2, an arcade biased rally game that makes you wonder why they don't just make a 3rd one. Whilst the over the top handling model didn't click with some, for me it's the perfect alternative to the host of serious sim racers that I also love. There's rarely any need to brake - just chuck it into the corner sideways/backwards and get going.
The snow and ice stages have to be seen to be believed. Incredible on the old Xbox hardware and even now stand up well. I think that some people wouldn't even notice it was an old game if they sampled it*
(*possible exaggeration
)
On today's big screens, it benefits even more. Both in-car and chase-cam views are emminently playable and the online multiplayer was amazing fun. With dozens of tracks to choose from, it needed a bit of work to learn your way around, but that was half the fun. Driving through the English countryside and admiring the leaf strewn road and then driving through a fence - all good stuff!
