Top Gear Rally 2 on the N64 is one of those racers that actually makes you feel the road—whether you're sliding through mud or barely gripping icy turns. The weather isn’t just for show, either. One minute you’re racing under clear skies, the next you’re wrestling with a sudden downpour that turns the track into a slippery mess.

What I love is how much you can tweak your car. It’s not just about slapping on a new paint job (though that’s fun too). You’re adjusting gear ratios, suspension, even tire pressure to handle different surfaces. Mess it up, and you’ll spend the whole race spinning out. Get it right, and it’s pure satisfaction.

The AI doesn’t just rubberband—they actually race dirty, shoving you into corners or cutting you off if you let them. It’s the kind of game where a single mistake costs you the lead, but nailing a risky overtake feels incredible. Definitely a hidden gem if you’re into arcade-style rally racing with some depth.
