Top Gear 2 on the Genesis is one of those racers that just feels right—no frills, just tight controls and that satisfying hum of engines pushing past 200 km/h. The tracks twist through deserts, cities, and icy stretches, and you’ll swear you can feel the tires losing grip when you take a corner too fast. The AI isn’t messing around either; they’ll nudge you off the road if you let them.

What surprised me was how much the soundtrack sticks with you. That bass-heavy title theme? Pure ‘90s racing vibes. And yeah, the graphics hold up—especially the way your car kicks up dust or sprays water in the rain stages. Just don’t expect deep customization; this is arcade-style racing where the focus is on nailing drifts and outlasting your fuel meter.

It’s the kind of game where you’ll restart a race five times just to shave half a second off your time. Still holds up if you’re into no-nonsense speed.
