The local deathmatch is the main reason this makes the list, I love it so much. I think the key thing, is the weapon balance and weapon placement. Some of the weapons are absurdly powerful (e.g. the one-hit-kill homing missles). BUT they have a small clip (e.g. 3 shots), then someone else can grab it where it spawns.

So the meta is to *camp* the strongest weapon to keep control of it. But then players can avoid the area, or bring a good counter--like a defensive powerup, or, the worst weapon, a melee Rammer, is often a good counter--it blocks most strong attacks.

Or if you just get skilled with some of the weaker weapons, you can just rely on those...depending on the map.

There's also a "Stunt" mode and a "Racing" mode. They're really fun played as intended, but the best thing about 'em is is how huge and exploration-friendly the maps are, and how fun it is find the devilishly placed collectibles in them, which take some dexterity to get.

BEST LEVEL: The Stunt stage called "Disco", in the screenshot above. Just a giant techno skatepark, but for cars. It was on a demo disc, and we played it so much we just HAD to get the game.

(Warning: Take this ranking with a grain of salt, because I played this game with friends and family in 4 PLAYER MODE, which is always a blast, even with a bad game.)
