Rollcage Stage II vs Split/Second

Rollcage Stage II is an arcade‑style racing game that lets you pilot cars with oversized wheels that can be flipped upside‑down and keep driving. The sequel to Rollcage adds weapon pickups and split‑screen multiplayer for chaotic, high‑speed competition. Developed by Attention To Detail and published by Psygnosis, Midway Games, and Take‑Two Interactive, the game launched on March 8, 2000 for PC, offering both single‑player and multiplayer modes with an ESRB rating of E.

Split/Second is an intense action racing game set within a reality television show where competitors vie to be the first to the finish line in a made-for-TV city set rigged to blow. Players don't just collide with other vehicles to knock them from the track, but can also trigger devastating events that drastically alter the dynamics of the race. Players must use pinpoint timing to obliterate huge structures and towering TV set pieces to tactically alter the track or create entirely new routes with the ultimate goal of becoming the season champion.
