Top Gear Rally on the GBA is one of those racers that just feels right in your hands—tight controls, a solid sense of speed, and tracks that actually make you think before flooring it. The first thing you’ll notice is how surprisingly good the graphics are for a handheld racer from that era, with little details like dust kicking up when you slide off-road.

It’s not just about going fast, though. Some of those turns will wreck you if you don’t brake early, and the AI isn’t shy about shoving you into a ditch if you take a corner too wide. I remember restarting the snowy track like five times before I figured out the right rhythm—feels so good when you finally nail it.

And yeah, it’s got that classic Top Gear vibe—no frills, just pure racing where skill matters more than flashy power-ups. If you’ve got a GBA and even a passing interest in racing games, this one’s a no-brainer.
