Top Gear Rally was supposedly good (was that the one with the teeth car on the purple cover?), but the N64 also had 3 great RUSH games...

THere were two TOP Gear Rally Games. I never liked the second one which had a random track generator that supposedly made you experiment new feelings...
However the first one was the best game for a long time, when his rivals were MRC, F1 Pole Position, VRally...
I nearly tried all the N64 racers and I think Top Gear Rally was the best. The main problem was that it was a bit short.
The game put you in rally courses a la SEGA rally. You had to select your car between a huge selection of models (based in real cars). I remember these ones:
BMW M3
Porsche 968
Nissan Skyline
Lancia Delta
Ford Escort
Then you had to select a track:
-Jungle
-Beach
-Mountain
-Desert
...
And then you just needed to race
The best point of the game was the track design. Especially the mountain track since it was awesome. You first went up and up on a mountain and then...then you go down But the whole feeling of mountain track was there.Another good thing was the sortcuts the tracks had. The mountain one was fun because it was a difficult path that was very difficcult to take without breaking the car.
There was also realistic treatment of impacts and real-time deformation.
I was very surprised with this game.

oh, I must have been thinking about this one:
I guess the N64 Top Gear Rally games were good enough so that Nintendo actually took publishing duties for the GBA counterparts this generation...

I can't believe how low that RRV figure is. In fact, with he exception of the first game, I'm surprised by all of them. Always thought the series was more popular.
Ridge Racer V did about 700-750K in Japan.
I'm just guessing, but I'd say the other 4 RR games did around 500K each in Japan. They've always been popular there.
And I agree that RRV is the best racer on PS2. Hell, I played again less than a month ago, and it still holds up pretty damn well.
BTW, where are the Rage Racer figures?

Tell that to Halo and Luigi's Mansion and all the other good launch games that got great sales.
Ridge Racer V 611,507
That's from Shrine of Data. I think they use Famitsu's numbers, Dengeki/Media Create have usually higher numbers.

Actually I still see new copies of that game everywhere.
Top Gear Rally was one of my favourite racers of last gen, that and Rage Racer/Ridge Racer Type 4.
And is Ridge Racer V really that good? I only ever played it when PS2 launched on a friend's PS2 which was basically 3 or so years ago. Maybe I should give it a rental.

RR64 and Rage Racer still stand as my favs, but R4 has the best music.

Precisely
Though not directly compatible with Logitech's FF wheels due to driver issues, RRV does contain true force feedback code, which the joGcon beautifully recreates. If someone were to write drivers that allow Logitech's wheels to recognize the game, I'm sure the FF effect would be very impressive.
Nope, they were different games at first... Racing Evolution started out PS2 only (as "New Racing Project") and took RRNext's place when Team Zero fell apart (with most staff leaving to form Cavia). Namco's been adamant though that Racing Evolution isn't a Ridge Racer game.Kiriku said:
