This probably might be a controversial opinion but I thought Lego Racers 2 was slightly better than it's predecessor. Granted, it didn't have a lot of the themes from the previous game but it made up for that with the mini-games and exploration elements.
If I remember right I bought this with my own money when it came out and even though it took some getting used to I loved it all the same. Did open world racing well before Forza Horizon and the unique hub worlds were genuinely mysterious and exciting to explorea long with some interesting twists on racing such as being able to deconstruct enemy cars with weapons. It drive a lot more like a sim-cade racer than the more kart style of the first game but it's excellent in its own right.
This & the first Lego Racers should definitely be on GOG; they're wonderful games kids can enjoy while building their aptitude for racing in 3D (like I did). Albeit, this game was confusing to me at first. Building off what I knew from the first game, I just got lost in the first level and could not tolerate the vague nature of the mission structure, the landscape & how it integrated into the races, and just how everything felt so different from the first game. So I stayed with the first Lego Racers until 3 years later, then I started to understand this game a lot better and almost beat it. It would be awesome to go back to this series and see it I can beat it this time.
I remember when I would watch my brother play this game and when he got to the end he had a hard time beating the final race. When I was able to played through it, I had such a blast and as my older brother watched me beat the last race on my first try, he was in disbelief that I beat it on my first try. I also had a blast racing against my brother on his computer, a windows 95. those were the days and I hope that we can bring old games like this to modern consoles.
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.Trending Action
