Top Gear 2 on SNES is one of those racers that feels simple at first—just pick a car and go—but then you realize there’s way more to it. The tracks are wild, from desert stretches to tight city corners, and the weather actually messes with your handling (rain = slide city).
You earn cash from races to upgrade your ride, and the difference between a stock junker and a tuned machine is huge. Nitro boosts are satisfying to use, but burn them too early and you’ll regret it on the final lap. Oh, and there are 64 tracks—some are brutal, some are breezy, but none of them feel like filler. It’s the kind of game where you lose an hour just trying to shave seconds off your best time.
