Okay, I admit that Pod is a game which didn't exactly get great reviews... I think they were mostly 6'es. So if someone dislikes it I can understand... it has no weapons, the speed of the cars is fairly slow, etc... I admit that it has flaws. I just happen to be one of the people who love it (and there IS (er... was...) a good-sized community of people who loved the game...
Extreme-G 2 is one of the most maligned great games of recent memory. If only it had either come out later for a more capable platform or the PC version had reached wide circulation... its really too bad that it was doomed to die remembered as a bad N64 game, because behind that bad framerate is a game that is a very good competitor with anything in the genre... but I won't discuss this one with you because you've only played the N64 version... and since you find framerates so important, no wonder you found it bad. The major framerate problems in that version of the game make the whole experience so much worse...
As for Rollcage, you haven't played it, clearly. Has anyone here played Rollcage, Rollcage Stage II, or Death Track Racing (that's Rollcage Stage II for PC... it just has that name on the box. :) )?
Rush we've discussed many times. No need for that one again.
Wipeout... I am surprised that you think its that much worse than F-Zero. Wipeout is pretty widely regarded as one of the best (or maybe the best) series of games in the whole genre... in no way that matters are they far enough behind F-Zero to matter.
(mostly talking about the N64 games here)
