GBA racing games

As my Gameboy Micro comes nearer, I have to start looking for the games. Since the GBA has been around for so long, and I have never really paid attention to the titles, I got a lot to catch up on and need some advice Note also that a lot of titles are very hard to find because they're so old (Final Fight where art thou!?) So keep that in mind.

There are too many games I want to get, so I'll start by asking about the racing games. I just browsed thru Gamespot and here's what I found so far:

For road racing, I am thinking Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed. Simple reasons: 1 - it's NFS, 2 - it's not Underground, 3 - I can find it in a store. Any comments, for or against? The GT Advance series doesn't look too good to me. Also I prefer good tracks over all the tuning or "customizing" crap they spent so much effort to put into racing games nowadays. You can really tell if a track has been carefully designed and tested rather than modelled after a long rubber band.

For rallying, Top Gear Rally is king... right? VRally 3 might be the next choice - any objections? Again there's GT Advance Rally, which again looks mediocre in comparison. Sega Rally Championship seems like a huge disappointment

Finally there's action driving. Monster Truck Madness seems cool? And Drome Racer looks sweet too. I'm not really into Mario Kart, so too bad for me I guess. Also I'm not big on Crazy Taxi and Driver series. Driving thru a city like a madman is fun sometimes, but never really got me hooked.

Almost forgot to mention sci-fi racer, but there's only F-Zero series. Don't get me wrong, I luved it on the SNES, but perhaps it is low priority to get for the time being.
