You missed off Sega Rally 2006 on PS2 which is the best game since the original and that does feature remakes of all four tracks, however they aren't unlocked till late into the game.

As an avid arcade gamer at the time, I loved it, but it was part of a progression, which went from titles like Pole Position to Super Monaco GP, and onto Virtua Racing, followed by Daytona and so on.
3D racing games weren't anything new, really. There were plenty at the time for the Amiga. STUN Runner was already pretty old in the arcades.
Virtua Racing though was interesting because it was 4 (or more) player on more than one screen (seems daft, but that was earth-shattering), and it tried to re-create "real life" in a crude way. Most 3D games back then, such as Elite and Mercenary were sci-fi, with triangular shaped ships and buildings made up of cubes. VR's ferris wheel and cars that looked like F1 cars (if you half-closed your eyes) really were something new and exciting.
For years, I've heard people say "it was the first 3D game", which we all know to be false. However, I think that was a testament to its underlying quality. Hard Drivin' may have been earlier, but I've always felt that Virtua Racing was the first 3D game I played that made me think "all games are going to be 3D soon", that 3D would start to replace 2D as the standard for most console games.

Originally posted by Yakumo View PostThank you! I can imagine a lot of come back from slagging the PC Engine version but it really is a load of crap.
I played it once, it's horrible. Part ex-ing the saturn version all those years back was a big mistake, I'm still on the lookout for a reasonably priced version.
