Wipeout 64 is a truly great game. Ever since I bought the game its been right near the top of my 'favorite n64 games' list... and while now I do think F-Zero X is better, its not by much. Not by much at all...
Rush 2049 is right up there with those two, as is Extreme-G 2, Rollcage Stage 2 (GREAT racing game! Easily among the best in this subgenre...), Pod, and probably some others (Rollcage 1, the other Wipeout games... which I haven't played but imagine are as good as the ones I have...).
Different ones are best at different things.
F-Zero X has the best single player campaign.
Rush 2049 has the best non-racing modes.
Wipeout 64 has the the best 2-player race mode.
Rush 2049 has the best overall multiplayer.
Etc... every one of these is good at something...
Extreme-G 2? Its got what is probably the best music... and its one of the hardest of the ones that I have played to complete the standard game once.
Oh yeah, and it has good tracks! I really like the track design in XG2... its also got great vehicle designs, a very nice weapons system with some cool weapons, great challenge... what more can you ask for?
F-Zero clone? Are you nuts? XG2 isn't a F-Zero clone... now XG3 is, but not XG2.
Rollcage? hmm... the mode (forget the name) where you have to get through really hard challenge courses on special tracks in a time limit. Those evil, evil roads just as wide as your car... that mode was probably more fun than the actual racing one, actually. :)
