This probably might be a controversial opinion but I thought Lego Racers 2 was slightly better than it's predecessor. Granted, it didn't have a lot of the themes from the previous game but it made up for that with the mini-games and exploration elements.
If I remember right I bought this with my own money when it came out and even though it took some getting used to I loved it all the same. Did open world racing well before Forza Horizon and the unique hub worlds were genuinely mysterious and exciting to explorea long with some interesting twists on racing such as being able to deconstruct enemy cars with weapons. It drive a lot more like a sim-cade racer than the more kart style of the first game but it's excellent in its own right.
This & the first Lego Racers should definitely be on GOG; they're wonderful games kids can enjoy while building their aptitude for racing in 3D (like I did). Albeit, this game was confusing to me at first. Building off what I knew from the first game, I just got lost in the first level and could not tolerate the vague nature of the mission structure, the landscape & how it integrated into the races, and just how everything felt so different from the first game. So I stayed with the first Lego Racers until 3 years later, then I started to understand this game a lot better and almost beat it. It would be awesome to go back to this series and see it I can beat it this time.
I remember when I would watch my brother play this game and when he got to the end he had a hard time beating the final race. When I was able to played through it, I had such a blast and as my older brother watched me beat the last race on my first try, he was in disbelief that I beat it on my first try. I also had a blast racing against my brother on his computer, a windows 95. those were the days and I hope that we can bring old games like this to modern consoles.

Twisted MetalTwisted Metal consists of a series of arena-based battles against an increasing number of opponents in increasingly large arenas. These battles culminate in a face-off with the winner of the previous year's competition, Darkside, who drives a large armored car which fires multiple missiles at once.
Players can choose one of 12 different vehicles with which to enter combat. Each vehicle has a distinct driver and special move. The controls consist of accelerator, brake, "tight turn" (essentially a handbrake) and turbo on the face buttons, with main weapons and machine gun selection and control on the shoulder buttons.
Arenas are populated with weapon pickups to re-supply missile stocks, repair stations for repairing damage to your car, pedestrians, and course stewards armed with either machine guns or missile launchers.Action Thriller Survival

Bullets of your polarity can be collected to fuel your energy gauge, but those opposite will kill you. Destroying an enemy ship causes them to fire revenge bullets which can be absorbed and fired back by the player. Different difficulties exist to change exactly how you interact with polarized points, or how they appear.
It is the spiritual successor to Radiant Silvergun, featuring similar level and boss design, as well as it's buddhism inspired themes and aesthetics. Both are directed by Hiroshi Iuchi, who also composed Ikaruga's soundtrack.Action Science fiction

In many ways, it is like half of a port of Rayman Arena, featuring conversions of the same race tracks, the same introduction movie and also character theme songs (it, however, lacks the battles from M, and the character roster is different). It is a 1-2 player game, and each race has 2 characters running (1 in certain game modes). The game was released 4 months after Rayman M/Arena.
Races take place on 12 tracks in four worlds and there are five main modes of play: Training, Championship, Time Attack, Lum, and Target.

Two Rayman Rush players can race head-to-head, split-screen style.
