Why is Top Gear 2 the best Top Gear game and the best 16-bit

i always liked the theme from the first game better

The racing bits were pretty good, but I never really cared for the beat-em-up sections where you played as Jeremy Clarkson.

A bit faster would be easily a Initial D OST

There wasn't much competition, was there? Which is a shame because for some odd reason I do love raster effect racers.

No, you suck on this.

Top Gear 2 is the most generic title in the whole series, and you probably only have played the inferior SNES/Genesis versions

It really is a lot of fun. My brother and I played the heck out of it.

why exclude the lotus games?

i don't know my sprite-scaling racers, but there ought to be some better than this. no lap times, no save feature, no stage select (only country select), no other play modes (ex: without opponents and against a ghost car), the turn radius is too large at very slow speeds, and opponents never slow down (combine this with the large minimum turn radius and hairpin turns can be a cluster).

it's decent, and the soundtrack is sweet, but i wouldn't recommend it. i gotta believe it gets better than this.

what did the other versions do differently?

>>3833764
Seems like that crappy tom cruise movie days of thunder

>>3833929
Inferior to what? AMIGA? Dont make me laugh

Top Gear was made by the same development team as Lotus on the Amiga, and is a very similar game, even down to the music. They had to change the title due to Nintendo not allowing baka gaijin cars in their games.

Why do you write posts in such a way I want to put down game you like? I won't though.
Top Gear 2 is a really comfy game, it gave me feeling of a journey through the world. If only races were point to point...
But Road Rash series is clearly better. Micro Machines is another contender.
Racing wasn't really good before 3D though. Even if I got 20 racing games on my Sega Mega Drive as a kid. And mode 7 seems like total mess to me, with only exception being F-Zero.

Nah, he wasn't even in TV show at the time, too busy reviewing computer games.

Best song from Top Gear series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn9KCp8KTWE

Lol mate, Amiga version sucks ass.

So much this. People need to make more games like these at least now. And using modern developments in game design make them play decent at last.
By the way for those of you who don't know there is Top Gear inspired mobile game called Horizon Chase. They even got Barry Leitch to compose soundtrack. It's ok.

You know what, disregard the part about the song, these are even funkier

And about Jeremy Clarkson too, turns out he was in the show since 1988

>>3835793
the first game, yeah, but we were talking about the second.

>>3834317
I'd enjoy the Lotus games much more if they had music during gameplay.

Also 80s Overdrive, which doesn't look like it's going to add anything to the genre, but at least it looks exactly like a sprite scaling racer.

This one had a good engine. Racers, objects and hills were very smooth, but I don't like theg ameplay. Though shooting at people with the superscope is fun.
