AV-Racer

One of the Best 2D Racing Games = AV-Racer

This game is a blast! Trying to beat your personal lap times and playing the career mode is really fun. I enjoy the different classes of cars and the drifting physics. The game reminds me of RC Pro-Am on the NES

This game is *actually* awesome! I haven't played a top-down racer like this that I've enjoyed since the NES days, and the added CRT filter with screen-warp settings is a huge nostalgia hit! The physics are simple as you'd expect, but provide a challenging learning curve that is mega rewarding once you start beating the hard and very hard AI (which feel like unique personalities and are crazy mean at times haha) I'll definitely continue playing this into the future! It feels very polished, sounds and music are great without being annoying or abrasive too! Okay, back to it I go!

What a fun retro racing game. It controls beautifully and presents the player with genuinely challenging tracks that ask something of you. The A.I. for the opposing racers doesn't appear to have any fancy "rubber-banding" tweaks which usually make most racing games feel fake for me. This game gauges you on your actual skill, and when you are objectively better than the opposing racers, you see that. I love all of the nods to old school racing games, the CRT effect, the polished 90s sounding racing music, and the little references to various brands (like Muratori's pizza) off on the edges. I haven't tried splitscreen mode yet, but I'm sure it works great and I'm definitely going to do that when I have some friends over.

fun

A really fun arcade style racing game, challenging AI gives you a lot of replayability as I struggled even on easy mode. Even for someone like me who doesn't often play racing games this has so far been a really fun experience!
