1 Gran Turismo 4 (2004) ★ 8.5 IGDB Released Dec 28, 2004 Choose the two-player battle in Arcade Mode. Pick cars with similar performance and settle on a course before anyone gets to blame the garage. The split-screen race is a good fit if both of you want to concentrate on braking, corner exits and clean laps. 0 2 Burnout 3: Takedown (2004) ★ 8.3 IGDB Released Sep 3, 2004 Pick a local split-screen race or a Road Rage session to put two drivers in at once. Traffic and takedowns make defending a line part of the game, so a faster car isn't the whole answer. Crash events that take turns are a separate option. 0 3 Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix (2006) ★ 7.2 IGDB Released Mar 13, 2006 Choose the Remix PS2 disc and race side by side through the streets. Routes through the city matter as much as following the checkpoints quickly. This expanded edition adds Tokyo, so pick it if the same pair wants a different city when its usual route gets familiar. 0 4 Jak X: Combat Racing (2005) ★ 7.6 IGDB Released Oct 18, 2005 In Exhibition, choose Offline and then Split-Screen for two players. It’s a head-to-head for friends who want pickups and enough car combat to make up for a missed turn. Learn one track first so both drivers have time to experiment with weapons. 0 5 Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (2001) ★ 8.5 IGDB Released Apr 28, 2001 Choose the two-player race in Arcade Mode. Match two road cars or compare a car each of you already knows. This is a good PS2 choice if heat comes from making fewer mistakes through a corner. 0 6 Burnout (2001) ★ 6.3 IGDB Released Nov 1, 2001 Choose the PS2 two-player race for the original Burnout's approach. Keeping speed up through traffic is a bigger part of the challenge than wrecking the other driver. Try it for short, direct duels with an older set of roads. 0 7 Burnout 2: Point of Impact (2002) ★ 7.7 IGDB Released Sep 30, 2002 Use the two-player mode to race through traffic and try to build boost without losing your line. Choose it for a pair who like the original Burnout's risk but want more room to plan runs between near misses. 0 8 Burnout Revenge (2005) ★ 7.9 IGDB Released Sep 13, 2005 Race head-to-head in local split-screen. Traffic checking gives your path through traffic a payoff when you know which vehicles you can hit. Pick it if you want a more aggressive duel than a clean track lap. 0 9 Burnout Dominator (2007) ★ 7.4 IGDB Released Mar 6, 2007 Pick local split-screen on PS2. Keeping a series of boosts going matters to a pair who already know how to handle traffic. This is a good follow-up when you want Burnout's danger in a mode where maintaining speed has its own reward. 0 10 Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (2002) ★ 7.5 IGDB Released Sep 30, 2002 Use the PlayStation 2 disc for its split-screen mode and compare exotic cars on open-road courses. Try it when you want a duel built around a long road and a fast car rather than tuning a compact for city corners. 0
