With amazing titles available, the GBA definitely has a great library of sim racing games.
So, if you’re a fan of both the GBA and sim racing games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#10. Driven
- Release Data: Crawfish Interactive/Bam Entertainment, 2001
- Genre: Racing » Simulation » Automobile
In rough form, the majority of blocking tactics and scenarios from the PlayStation 2 version apply to the GBA version as well.
Sure, the Sylvester Stallone voice-overs and poorly drawn caricature of Burt Reynolds are missing, but the GBA definitely ended up with the better version of the game.
#9. MotoGP
- Release Data: Visual Impact/THQ, 2002
- Genre: Racing » Simulation » Automobile
Overall, MotoGP is a very good game.
The graphics are some of the best for a racing game on the Game Boy Advance, and the different modes should keep you busy on long trips, but as previously mentioned, the game uses a password feature.
Still, if you’re looking for a fun racing game, you’ll want to give MotoGP a try.
#8. Need for Speed Underground 2
- Release Data: Pocketeers/Electronic Arts, 2004
- Genre: Racing » Simulation » Automobile
Overall, Need for Speed Underground 2 for the Game Boy Advance succeeds at distilling the best aspects of the console versions into a cartridge that you can take and play anywhere.
Whether you’re looking for a solid racer or just want to get lost putting together your own stable of slick rides, you can do both here.
#7. Monster Truck Madness
- Release Data: Tantalus/THQ, 2003
- Genre: Racing » Simulation » Automobile
The real problem with Monster Truck Madness is that it’s strictly a single-player experience.
But if you’re the kind of person who enjoys cathartic, arcade-style racing games, and you don’t mind the absence of multiplayer play modes, you really should take a look at Monster Truck Madness.
#6. GT Advance 3: Pro Concept Racing
- Release Data: MTO/THQ, 2003
- Genre: Racing » Simulation » Automobile
Overall, GT Advance 3: Pro Concept Racing is a spicier version of the original GT Advance that was released when the Game Boy Advance launched in June 2001.
The inclusion of a battery save feature makes this game infinitely more enjoyable, and the twofold increase in car selection isn’t too shabby either.
#5. Top Gear Rally
- Release Data: Tantalus/Kemco, 2003
- Genre: Racing » Simulation » Automobile
Even though Top Gear Rally isn’t the be-all and end-all of racing games, it is a huge step in the right direction.
The CPU opponents are lifeless, and the number of handling adjustments isn’t enough, but these are the most significant complaints toward a game that plays smoothly and looks superb.
#4. GT Advance 2: Rally Racing
- Release Data: MTO/THQ, 2002
- Genre: Racing » Simulation » Automobile
The most glaring problem of the original GT Advance has been addressed, and ultimately, this game is to the sport of rally what its predecessor is to street racing.
The game offers numerous options, it has a ton of cars and all of the tracks from the rally circuit, and it looks good for a handheld game.
#3. GT Advance Championship Racing
- Release Data: MTO/THQ, 2001
- Genre: Racing » Simulation » Automobile
It’s really a shame that THQ opted to adopt a password feature for the US version instead of the battery-save option, because it has added a lot of hassle to what would otherwise be a very fun game.
Those of you who can get the Japanese version of the game should do so, since the menus are entirely in English.
#2. V-Rally 3
- Release Data: Velez & Dubail/Atari SA, 2002
- Genre: Racing » Simulation » Automobile
Nevertheless, with its incredible graphics, convincing handling, and satisfying challenge, V-Rally 3 for the Game Boy Advance is a very solid racing game.
Regardless of whether you prefer arcade-style racing games or more-realistic simulations, the game has a lot to offer.
#1. Colin McRae Rally 2.0
- Release Data: Spellbound/Ubisoft, 2002
- Genre: Racing » Simulation » Automobile
You will not be disappointed with the gameplay in Colin McRae Rally 2.0 on the GBA.
Yes, the graphics on the surface are a bit on the low-quality side, but you just have to see it in action to appreciate everything that’s going on in the game.
