I've had the most fun with Mario Kart, so while I don't think it's the greatest I must vote for it.

Easily Mario Kart, I did enjoy NFS, but as they become more real and sims, I like them less.

5 years ago, I would've said Need For Speed, but that franchise is dead to me now. Mario Kart would've been my choice 8-10 years ago, but Diddy Kong Racing and Crash Team Racing are better games. Jet Moto and F-Zero aren't on the list, so that leaves Gran Turismo.

Side Note: Anybody remember that Star Wars racing game on the N64? That game was the shit.

Aw yeah Star Wars Episode 1: Racer.

I was always Sebulba 'cause he had a flamethrower on his pod racer.

Mario Kart. I prefer arcade racers to racing sims.

I'm surprised that F-Zero and Wipeout are not on your list (both fantastic series BTW).

I have that game lying around somewhere and loved it. I should throw it in my old N64.

I would have to say the GT series, but Forza is pretty damn good too. However, I think that Mario Kart and NFS are the most fun to play.

The more realistic a racing game becomes, the more uninterested I become. So with that said, I love racing games like Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, the Cruis'n games (pre-Wii iteration

), and Burnout (Okay... so I loved this one more so for the crashes than the actual racing...). Probably would have loved Crash Team Racing if I actually played it...

But my favoritest of the favorites would be the Mario Kart series. So many good times man...

This!

Mario Kart, followed closely by NFS for me.

Mario Kart, Forza, and GT are the three kings of racers. My favorite is in that order.

2. Ridge Racer (4 games i have liked from this franchise....... Rage Racer & Ridge Racer Type 4 are SUPERB games)

3. Burnout (I love Burnout 2, 3 & Revenge................. Paradise sucks though)
