As odd of a choice this may be at first, let me explain...Jak X: Combat Racing.
Yes, the character designs are a bit cartoonish, but when you have an awesome roadster with a roaring engine with lots of changing parts, and gameplay that's like a cross between Mario Kart, Twisted Metal, and Burnout, just think of all the missile-shooting, mine-dropping, ever-boosting races and deathmatches you're gonna experience.
Honestly, that is a manly piece of gaming, if you ask me. Fast cars are manly. Missiles and Gatling Guns are manly. Having your car explode violently and then returning to life to make the guy who blew you up explode is manly. I find it to be intense.
