When I first got it I expected something more like Driver and was kinda disappointed. Coming back to it after all this time it's pretty unique.

You can still get decent to great games for ten dollars or less. I picked up Stuntman this year for five bucks, same with Forsaken 64 for less than ten. If you're going to focus for Mystical Ninja Goemon, some Squaresoft PS1 JRPG, or Earthbound then yes you will be hitting that fifty dollars and over price. There are plenty of good games out there for a great price. If all you have is eyes for the most known/sought after games then yes you're up shits creek. If you don't want to be subject to it then broaden your horizons.

Yeah, play Stuntman.

Nothing too crazy. Played Episode One Pod Racer and got to the final four tracks within a couple or so hours, I need to get through those. Recently beat Odin's Sphere and that was just okay, too much repeated content for the length the game went for. Playing Sly 2 and it is alright, just not as fun as Sly 1. Stuntman reinvigorated my drive to play and complete some of the games I have, I'm at the Jame Bond knock off missions.

I might pick up Tomb Raider next since I have a lot of interest in it at the moment, or maybe play more Vectorman and Altered Beast and beat those games since it has probably been a month since I last played them.

I spent a lot of time on this game as a kid. I have this bittersweet memory of this time when one of my older relatives was in hospital with terminal cancer, and my parents had to rush out one day. I was scared to go with them so they left me home alone, if not for the first time, then one of the earliest times. I spent like 4-5 hours just playing Driver 2, until it got dark, and I didn't even get up to put the lights on.

Anyway. The main point of this game was the replay mode desu. You were supposed to make epic car chases with tons of jumps and long handbrake drifts and shit, then watch it play out. It helped that the graphics were pretty good for their time, and the car handling physics were great compared to its contemporaries.

The "story mode" was a kinda cool mash up of Starsky and Hutch and 70s action cop exploitation movie kinda stuff, which for me is weird because I know exactly the vibe it's going for, even though I've never actually seen any of those old movies or TV shows. But basically it just acted as a long tutorial to make you drive good, so you could make sick replays in free roam.

I mean yeah, it's aged like complete shit, but so have a lot of games from this era. It's a victim of being a pioneer, one of the very first 3D sandbox games, so if you can't put yourself back in the mindset of the late 90s, there's really nothing for you to appreciate here.

If you want something with a similar focus on driving but not necessarily racing, the same dev made pic related, which is a very unique game I never hear anyone talk about.

for me, it's Toothless in Wapping
