Re-Volt

Driving or flying

An arcade racer starring R/C cars with surprisingly satisfying physics. Chaotic power-ups, colorful tracks set in supermarkets and suburbs, and multiplayer races are the main draw.

Sega Rally Championship

Driving or flying

A classic arcade rally racer that was the first to make different surfaces like tarmac, gravel and mud change how the car handles. Fast, drift-heavy rally races against the clock and rivals.

Burnout Revenge

Driving or flying

A blistering arcade racer where you weave through rush-hour traffic, take rivals out in spectacular crashes and build boost through risky driving. Modes like Road Rage, Eliminator and Crash keep the action chaotic and fun.

Sled Storm

Easy to pick up

An arcade snowmobile racer where you speed across snowy courses and pull off stunts. An early entry in the snowmobile racing genre on the original PlayStation.

Ignition

Driving or flying

A frantic 90s top-down racer featuring offbeat vehicles like a school bus, police car and VW Beetle, each handling very differently. Bumping, blocking and championships make for chaotic fun.

Burnout 2: Point of Impact

Driving or flying

An arcade racer that rewards reckless speed and spectacular crashes: dangerous driving through oncoming traffic fills your boost, and the Crash mode turns pileups into a game of their own.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2

Driving or flying

An arcade racer where you tear through sunny coastal and forest tracks in exotic supercars while dodging police, or play as the cops yourself and bust speeders. Its fast, accessible handling and rock soundtrack made it a series classic.
