Off-road arena

Off-road arena sports have made an impact on mainstream sports with games such as Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and Road Rash. These games have evolved in a number of ways, but their underlying philosophy of player skill and flair is still relatively unique. Developer Sport Interactive was founded by former Eurocom/ILM team members, including former Lewis Hamilton and Tom Hall, and has enlisted the likes of Iceman, Aaron deJerei, and Tupac-Williams to lead its own company, Offroad Unleashed.

Off-road racing games are now based on real-world air traffic, and that's a focus on ensuring players can survive on the track, which includes more than 75 events. At the event, players will participate in eight new and original events, including the A-Day Fever, Desert Storm, Port Sosa, and TenRide events, the Tivoli Cross, and the Britain Experiment, an all-new World Race in the '80s (having been named after the 25th anniversary of the big three). In the '80s the series jumped into the esports scene, and the game's successor, Off-road Fury, made a name for itself with a round of events in '90s and '00s action film genres.

The old '90s/early 2000s saw a lot of dormant titles join the ranks of high-profile racing games, including Juiced, Midnight Club, and Ridge Racer, with a few notable exceptions. In 2000 there was the PlayStation 2 racing title Project Gotham Racing 2: Season of the Dragon, a sequel to the PlayStation 2 racing game developed by Bizarre Creations, and the GameCube game Moto GP: World Tour. Unfortunately the series never saw a new entry, as it was also the studio's last, with the series going away in 1997.

We've seen multiple attempts at a reboot over the years, with this one being more 'disappointing', with Activision Value releasing the follow-up in 2010, and Take-Two going all-in on a franchise that had seemed destined to never see the light of day. The series never got a new entry in 2013, as it was famously abandoned by Activision in 2017, but that doesn't mean it never made it to the big time.

The original Driver trilogy is an outstanding action-adventure, driving and action-packed. While a sequel wasn't ever released, the original series is still seen as a thrilling, well-crafted piece of media and Driver: San Francisco is still held in high regard.

The first title in the series, Forza Motorsport 3 was released in 2010 and was the first of its kind. The game featured excellent driving mechanics and featured an excellent open-world, as well as online multiplayer options that let gamers take part in highly realistic races.

Forza Motorsport 2 introduced an excellent open world to the racing genre. Players could drive on the ice and enjoy its iconic courses, as well as the variety of off-road vehicles that the game included.

Forza Motorsport 3 introduced over ten new cars to the franchise, the most notable of which was the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640. A great car for racing and road racing was the Ferrari 458 Italia, a 458 Italia that was launched in 2010 and was a great choice for players who enjoyed aggressive, all-around racing.

Forza Motorsport 4 introduced an incredible range of new cars, which also benefitted the game's release. Its incredible frame rate, with averages of 91 on Metacritic, makes it one of the highest-rated racing games of all time.

Though the fifth entry to the Forza Motorsport franchise didn't exactly set the world on fire, it still scored a respectable 81. The game offered a variety of racing experiences, with the most notable being the ability to upgrade the cars available in the game's garage.

The Lamborghini Aventador was an excellent choice of car for players who enjoyed mastering the fastest cars in Forza Horizon 4. This can be especially useful in "Forza Horizon 5," as the game offers a plethora of ways for players to make their experience unique.

The Lamborghini Aventador was released in 2011 and is regarded by many as the best all-around car in Forza Horizon 4. The AMG is an S-Class supercar that was designed to be driven by the player and is capable of producing a considerable amount of damage per second.

This is most notably, in the game's "Forza Horizon 4" difficulty mode, where the car can be slightly modified. However, the lack of a mere S-Class supercar makes this car an excellent choice for players who love playing on challenging road courses.

Mercedes-AMG ONE is a hypercar designed to be driven in the fastest car in Forza Horizon 4.
