An arcade-like racing game that encourages recklessness and crashes.

Now, this is a game I had quite a bit of fun with, but I prefer...um...another game with wheels much, much later in the list. If you know the system's library, you'll quickly find out which it is.

Anyways, this game, which runs well, involves racing realistic cars and building up and utilizing boosts by being intentionally wild in your driving, like nearly driving into cars and walls, if not bumping into them.

There are even modes and missions that involve causing as much damage as possible, even in races. Besides standard racing, a multiplayer mode literally has you and another player drive as fast as possible into a busy highway and compete to cause as much destruction and mechanical carnage as possible, seeing pieces and scraps flying everywhere.

Now this, this is just some sweet, dumb fun.

Relatively inexpensive, so if you want arcade-racing with some degree of realism, or, well, just some insane driving, then this is the game for you.
