Year of release: 2008
Preferred platform: PC

Get ready for a fast and furious arcade style game that will drive you wild. Racing through busy streets, brooding storm drains and more weird and wild locations, based both in and out of the city, has never been more frantic.

Smashing opponents out of the way is more than justified, as is grabbing that boost and mounting the side of a building to take an improvised yet effective racing line. It may not be possible in real life but it sure is a fun experience.
