Racing (Arcade-Style)

Arcade games are games with a gameplay style similar to those found in coin-operated video games. Styles include "unique" gameplay ideas such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong, through racing and flight games that forgo real-world physics and settings for "over the top" action. This is a very diverse genre that spans most anything that has ever been found in a coin-op cabinet.

Need for Speed: Underground 2

The game is based around tuning cars for street races, resuming the Need for Speed: Underground storyline.

Clutch

Clutch is a freeform racing and zombie-mowing game. Plays a lot like a gory budget mix of FlaOut, Crashday and Burnout Paradise... with zombies. This is also one of the very few games to natively support RuCap ultrasonic tracking devices.

Fuel

Fuel is a racing and exploration game featuring bikes, quads and all sorts of four-wheeled vehicles in a huge, seamless, free-to-roam region of deserted roads and barred landscapes.

Mountain Bike Adrenaline

As a PS2 game ported to the PC, this budget title from 2008 looks and feels pretty dated, but it is natively Hor+ nonetheless.

Wheelman

Wheelman is an over-the-top open-world driving and shooting game developed by Vin Diesel's development studio, Tigon Studios and published by both Ubisoft and Midway. Diesel himself lends his likeness and voice to the game, which focuses strongly on feeling like an action movie. Gameplay mostly consists of insane driving through Barcelona with no focus at all on realism and instead a concentration of feeling like an action movie filled with stunts and insane chases. If you like crazy fun gameplay more than polish and graphics, Wheelman might be worth a chance purchase.

Trackmania United

TrackMania is a beat-the-clock racing & track building game. Tm United represents the culmination of the series as it contains most game modes and all environments & cars featured in the previous titles. Forever updates the game even further : the free Stadium-only Tm Nations now uses the latest engine and is included as a whole in Tm United, so that players of Tm Nations Forever and owners of Tm United Forever can compete online on Stadium races.

Micro Machines V4

Eight years after V3, Micro Machines come back to the PC for more crazy, fast, unforgiving arcade racing. In addition to the power-ups and weapons, extensive car collection and multiplayer modes, V4 also features an optional "dynamic" (pursuit) camera besides the old-school, non-rotating top-down view, and an all-new track editor.

Burnout Paradise

The first in the Burnout series to be ported to the PC, Burnout Paradise is an arcade driving/racing game. Unlock dozens of cars each featuring a detailed damage model and packing large amounts of "boost". Enter a challenge at every crossroad in Paradise City, from "orienteering" races to stunt contests - or freely roam the streets, train tracks, multiple-storey parking lots and buidings roofs in search of Super Jumps or "smashables" to add to your achievements list. With a host of community tools, modes and leaderboards, the game is also strongly oriented towards online multiplayer.

OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast

20 years after its coin-operated debut the arcade classic returns, this time on the PC. Sit tight in your Ferrari and get ready for ultra-fast old-school racing and crazy challenges through rich and varied environments in beautifully old-fashioned graphics.

Pure

Pure is an arcade ATV racing game. It lets you build and upgrade your quads piece by piece and drive them around multiple-track circuits in outdoors locations. Catch some big air, perform surreal tricks and use nitro boost as you compete against a dozen AI opponents. The game also features both LAN and online multiplayer modes.
