10 Craziest Hidden Characters In Video Games

3. Tyrannosaurus Rex - Need For Speed 2

We’ve hit the pointy end of the video which means everything from here on out is straight up bizarre, starting with a racing game that lets you play as a T-Rex. Yep.

In 1997’s Need For Speed 2 you could play as over two dozen cars. Or a UFO. Or the only thing cooler than a UFO, a whole ass dinosaur. Since this is a game from the late 90s the way of achieving this one is indeed through the means of cheat code. Type in “TREXME” in the PlayStation version of the game and boom, you can drive a huge T-Rex. Mind you, its legs don’t animate or anything and it takes up the whole screen but you’ve gotta be the most intimidating thing on the track.

This adds absolutely nothing to the game but a Jurassic aesthetic and it’s severely impractical but I promise you’ll get a kick out of it.
