Like most race titles there isn't anything by way of a storyline, but then there doesn't really need to be.
RalliSport Challenge 2
No matter how you feel about Microsoft, it can't be denied that they produce some outstanding games.
Kameo: Elements of Power

Project Gotham Racing 2
Fishtailing is a good thing - air, drafting, two wheels, much better.

You control Blinx, one of many cats working at the Time Factory. Your job is to keep time flowing and fix time glitches.

There's the Freeform game, with unlimited money -- that is, no money worries at all -- and all animals and buildings, etc., available. Pick a region anywhere in the world for your zoo and start building.
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
Finding flight simulators that present a complete package is a rarity as some handle great with a solid interface but the missions are lame or the graphics may be excellent but the game is over almost before it started.
