Antoni Producent
21.05.2023man fuck it ima say it gt5 is the best one in the franchise
SĸγWαηderer
21.05.2023How can Trackmania Nations Forever not be in the top 10?
I'll let that pass because Burnout 3 has 2 entries but still, f*ck dem' mobile games
ZKDelta
21.05.20231:01:24 I will never ever trust Metacritic for this godawful sin
PJ Santiago
21.05.2023The fact gt4 was 52 blow my mind it’s criminal to have that spot should be top 30 at least lol
MrBoost
21.05.2023I started to feel like the community is just paying for the title and not for the game like: hmm… these guys made fucking great games in the past, (10 years ago) let's buy this new game, because it must be good
Edit: I am talking about fh5

21.05.2023Is it possible to send DustinEden an original Xbox? They’re relatively cheap and it would be cool to see him play most of the racing games for that system.

21.05.2023Where the fuck were Daytona USA and Sega Rally?!
AidenT06
21.05.2023IMO, GT4 then NR2003 should be 10x higher than they are. There's reasons these games never die
Blake's Bass
21.05.2023Next Top 1 Metacritic Racing Game, WWE Smackdown Vs Brawl 2004 for PS2
fastn't boi
21.05.2023i sat there for an hour looking at a man scroll through a top 100 list of racing video games. totally worth it, would do it again.
CUAN B
19.05.2023So forza horizon 5 is the best forza
Shred_it_down
19.05.2023Gotta say real racing 2 is reeeeally good, played it like 10 times completly through and never got boring
KruMat- topic
19.05.2023This top 100 list of Racing Games is totally bullshit and fake
NotSoRacistRaspberry
19.05.2023Can I just say…. Fuck mobile games
Hamisxa
19.05.2023bruh no Underground and Most Wanted, Carbon, TDU, Stuntman, Driver, etc. These game critics need to be in jail for crimes against humanity
EdyAlbertoMS
19.05.2023I wonder if the positions depend in hidden, more precise numbers, or they were randomly decided for all the games that have the same score.
Your Average Guy
19.05.2023“Hot Pursuit is the most fun forgettable game”
Me looking at the forgettable and thinking about Most Wanted 2012 🤨
FatheredPuma81
19.05.2023My favorite feature FH5 removed was the ability for numerous people to play the game… after they bought it. No really the update that pushed out Ray Tracing and other crap actually stopped people who bought the game with older systems from playing.
Your Average Guy
19.05.2023I have an OG Xbox so I can play PGR2 when I get it lol
roflBeck
19.05.2023Man, they did GRID dirty. Not only did they have the 360 version not make top 100, they spelled it wrong. "Race Dirver: GRID," lol.
rawednylme
16.05.2023F1 2002 and F1 Challenge were great at the time. Awesome mods available, and just good F1 games. It’s a shame to see what they are shitting out to market these days. 😢
JRC99
16.05.2023The sheer rage over GT4 was just beautiful
roflBeck
16.05.2023This was such a mixed list lol. At least Wipeout 2 and 3 rated really high, and F-Zero GX. (No X though, what the heck?) Also I can't believe Most Wanted was all the way down in 306. Wow.
LomTiptak
16.05.2023I view the metascore as a “how badly the investors needed this to sell” meter.
Charles Lee III
16.05.2023Welp, even Metacritic said that Forza Motorsport ('05) is better than Gran Turismo 4.
Radical centrist
16.05.2023Man, none of the mid 2000's NFS games like the Undergrounds, Most Wanted or Carbon? That's real shit because that was arguably the NFS golden age and I'm pretty sure they were the most commercially succesful ones too.
Also, while I ain't much into kart games, I think Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed definitely had to be here, I absolutely like that one.
thatsimracer666
16.05.2023The nascar 2003 is arguably the best one because it's moddable and some of biggest crimes is beamng isn't even n the list at all
kieran raine
16.05.2023Bruhhhhhhhhh f1 2002 is a day older then me 💀💀💀
SpiderMax
16.05.2023Dustin you should make the same video but for user scores. NFS Shift on IOS has 94 metascore, but only 4.4 on the user score…
INever
16.05.2023this list should not exist
Prince Michael
15.05.2023Did Eden say ahhh you f**King 35:28
Jun Kitami
15.05.2023You HAVE to be kidding me… All these mobile game, line drawing game bullshit and we don't have TDU1 and 2 which was epic on a whole proportions and outbeats Forza's attempt in a open-world racing game by a country mile, there's no NFSU and NFSU2 which changed the whole car scene in a heartbeat, no Juiced 1 AND 2 but instead we get mobile games?!
ARE. YOU. FUCKING. KIDDING ME?!
Alexander Moreau
15.05.2023As far as NASCAR games go there is really just one to me that stands out, NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona is the one of the few games that give a realistic career mode with a fun challenge and sense of progress, you get to start out in an oval dirt racing series, and this alone could be an entire game worthy of a top 50 for me. You run full weekends with practice, quali, heats, and mains. On the hardest difficulty it's really satisfying to see yourself Improve every season and learn how to tune for the tracks and oh! you can even purchase upgrades for your cars, and sign sponsors. In a super vibed out TOCA style menu.
After you win a season in dirt racing you get to move up to featherlite modifieds then the craftsman truck series, and finally the "cup" (they were in between Winston and Sprint as a sponsor lol)
There's a pretty decent physics and damage model with in depth tuning of everything you'd be allowed to change on a real stock car. I hope you give it a shot sometime it runs great in PCSX2. Also worth checking out Test Drive: Eve of destruction, it's a demo derby game based on the same engine, its like a realistic version of flatout and has a lot of RPG elements and a small open world map for the career menu basically.
Lil' Sketchy
15.05.2023I would have separated the games from the mobile ones due to them being ranked on a different scale than console games
Jet The Hawk
15.05.2023Metacritic is trash.
Billy J. Causey, Video Guy
15.05.2023All this does is prove that curated content is much better than the aggregate content we have all had forced on is by the internet.
Aggregate lists and opinions always end up being the opinions of no one.
Vulcan
15.05.2023I want to see you reacting to the user score list in a seperate video tbh.
AlexTenThousand
15.05.2023Wipeout 2097 was called "XL" in the US because Sony believed that Americans wouldn't understand that it's a game set in the year 2097.
katsunova
15.05.2023Everyone complaining about gran turismo 4 not being in the top 10 whilst I'm complaining about wipEout games not being in the top 10
Sad boi

Gregory Hause
14.05.20231:05:03 DustinEden will return
venom
14.05.2023This list is just dogshit.. No GT5, no Dirt Rally 1 and 2, No NFS 1 through 4, U1 or 2, no Test Drive..
Btw. GT1 came out before Driver..
Derrick Long
14.05.2023You should play Nascar Thunder 2004 it won Racing game of the year in 2003 for a reason, the career is the best part.
Randomii666
14.05.2023What's so special about Nascar Racing 2003 Season?
Honestly, no clue, but that game eventually became a little game you may know called iRacing
Xegethra
14.05.2023If Gran Turismo didn't do it, then somebody else would have eventually. But yes, we would have a different set of games, probably saying the same things about those.
The Driver games aren't really racing games, more like car chase games.
VBottasG
14.05.2023RalliSport Challenge has a PC version
HiLow-_-
14.05.2023Glad to know that my beloved reckless racer 2 is ranked higher than gt 4 because there is in fact damage model and reason to stay on track.
James
14.05.2023GT7 is way too high lmao
STEIN_THE_LYNX
14.05.202353:10 FH5 multiplayer is still a broken mess of spaghetti and net code lol. they've fixed the game breaking issues but still have so many really annoying issues in the multiplayer
