10 Games You Played Because You Owned The Wrong System

7. World Driver Championship

The Game You Wanted - Gran Turismo The premiere racing simulator of the era, Gran Turismo wowed Playstation gamers everywhere with its realism. The Game You Played - World Driver Championship Boss Game Studio€™s N64 exclusive take on the genre that Gran Turismo helped pioneer. Was It A Worthy Substitute? Not even close. On a purely technical level, World Driver Championship was a fine game, blowing most other N64 racers out of the water in terms of graphics. But as a game that was clearly trying to provide a Gran Turismo alternative it fell well short of the mark. It didn€™t have nearly as much depth in its gameplay and the car selection was not only meagre compared to Gran Turismo, but the developers couldn€™t even get the actual licenses for the few cars they featured. The result was a game that asked you to both imagine that a Ram Venom GTR was a Dodge Viper, and then pretend you were playing Gran Turismo.
