Forza Motorsport

$21.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's not an arcade game where you stick like glue or if you lose the rear you just drift through the corner like a pro.
from www.amazon.com
need for speed underground --- despite the fact that this game offers an almost arcade-like driving experience and very few environments, it's redeeming grace is the ability to "pimp your ride."
from www.amazon.com
as for the game itself it has a whole bunch of race tracks and customizable cars (categorized into classes from r to d) with time trials, free runs and ofcourse the race arcades themselves.
from www.amazon.com
the main features in the game are standard arcade racing, career mode, and of course xbox live, but the career mode being the highlight.
from www.amazon.com
i've got all the essential xbox racers, from pgr2 to rallisport c2; from arcade type racers to true sims such as forza.

from shopping.msn.com
2 was the king of arcade basketball games a couple of years ago, and some still consider it the best around.
from www.amazon.com
i gave it a 4 out of 5 only because i'm a simulation fan, but when we're not in basketball season, i tend to play "arcade" games more often.
from www.amazon.com
being an arcade game at heart, playing defense can be tough at times.
from www.amazon.com
this is easily the best arcade style b-ball game out right now, but if you want realism, get nba live 2004 or espn nba basketball.
from www.amazon.com
you can't edit numbers and attributes either, but this is an arcade and not a simulation.this game is so fast, and the computer runs the break everytime and throws alleyoops and throws down sick jams

Burnout: Revenge

$28.00 Est. at Amazon

from Thomas McDermott, darkzero.co.uk
"revenge is the best burnout to date and perhaps the best arcade racer ever to grace a home console."
from www.amazon.com
i'm sure some like it but in my opinion this is supposed to be an arcade type game and i don't want to have to worry about wind or reving my engine via a stupid golf swing meter.
from www.amazon.com
no matter which game you prefer, fans of arcade-style racing games would be hard pressed to find a better, more enjoyable series than burnout.
from www.amazon.com
but no, basically they've made the best arcade racer, ever.
from www.amazon.com
after picking up 2004's arcade racer of the year i was incredibly excited about hearing burnout renvenge to be released later this year.
