This year was actually pretty damn good for racing game fans, as we got a few pretty strong showings, and games that are all around probably the best entries in their respective franchises.
But which one was the best?
NOTE: I was going to exclude DriveClub. Honestly, I don't think that, given how much of a disaster its launch was, it deserves to be in the running. But you know what, someone who played it may have liked it and might find it better than the other two games here. So have at it, I say.
Our nominees are:
So which one was the absolute best? And why?
I think the answer is very obviously Mario Kart 8, which not only might be the best game on the Wii U, but is a stunning playing, looking, and sounding game that completely revitalizes its series that had been growing a bit tired in recent years. With amazing single and multiplayer content and some just plain fun mechanics, it was definitely, in my opinion, the racer of the year.
