You are so, so weird. BAR better than Rush? Seriously, what are you on? BAR is NFS crossed with Rush and while it's fun it isn't as good as either of the serieses it copies, not even close. Too hard? Well it does have irritatingly long circuits with no saving that get longer as you progress... I did beat Easy and Normal, but the Pro circuit is extremely hard. I never beat Metro Madness in Pro, so I never got to the last track...
If I'd spent even a quarter (being generous) of the amount of time I've spent in Rush 2049 of course I'd have beaten it, but it's nowhere near as fun as that game so I won't. And it has circuits which are frusterating... same reason I haven't completely beat Excitebike 64, or Wave Race Blue Storm... circuits get really tough. Oh 'save after every race' can be hard too, if it's cheap (Ep1 Racer!!!), but on the whole it's definitely easier that way. I'm sure that if Extreme-G 2 had saving after every race like XG3 I'd have beaten it years ago but it only saves after every four so I've been stuck on the final set of four tracks for a very long time... it takes a long time to get to the final track and it's a really hard race. And of course in this circuit only first is acceptable.
Anyway, Rush 2049 also has Stunt Mode, which is good for dozens of hours of fun easy, and brilliant multiplayer in Stunt and Battle modes as well as in races... BAR has 2-player racing with no computers (a HUGE flaw in all games that do it) and that stupid Beetle Battle where you grab the bug tokens. No, somehow I don't think that BAR is even within sight of the amount of fun Rush 2049 provides. :) And of my 8 N64 racers...
Oh I'll just prioritize them.
1. F-Zero X 2. Rush 2049 3. Wipeout 64 4. Excitebike 64 5. Diddy Kong Racing 6. Beetle Adventure Racing 7. Hydro Thunder (a very good game, it shows how strong the lineup is that it's so low! More fun to just pick up and play than BAR, but BAR is a lot longer and more challenging so I guess I have to rate that one higher...) 8. Star Wars Episode I Racer (painfully unfair races mar a already mediocre futuristic racer.)
