Loved it back then and love it just as much today dude. In fact I have been playing it on and off quite a bit on PC via PCSX2 lately. Still a blast and DAMN HARD to boot! I'm going to go on record right now, and say the AI in RRV is the most agressive and smartest car AI I have ever seen in a racing game! They get in your way and change racing lines to block you as you approach a corner! They WILL frustrate the shit out of you so if you go in thinking your in for a cake walk, think again. It's a very competitive game but is very rewarding when you win!
Not sure about it being "clearly the best", but it's a damn good game and like RRV, RR Type 4 has also been spinning on my hard drive as well. The career campaign and presentation are top notch! The only downer is the silly on-rails drifting. I swear whatever you do, do NOT go from Type 4 to Rage Racer...it will be a complete mindfuck and you will be eating the wall like McDonalds Happymeals
