Ultimate Thrill Of Car Games

Electronic games are not new. In fact they have been on the scene for years, and all through that time car games have been the most popular games around. The popularity of motor games can be explained like this. Basically, driving in the real world is an activity that is exciting, provided you're not hemmed in by city traffic. Games start by replicating the basic excitement of the activity, but ramp it up ten levels.

Unlike the dull driving you do every day, car games often focus on high speed racing. Racing other cars is guaranteed to get a gamester's adrenalin flowing. That's a given. Then it's down to the programmer or designer of the game spicing things up with a scenario that's not the usual. Age of Speed is a good example because it's set in some futuristic sci-fi world. 3D Rally Racing is another great game that gains from races being set in unusual spots like the desert or through a forest.

If just racing is not enough for you, maybe you would prefer car games that are like suspense movies with danger from villains pursuing you in another vehicle. There's one game, called Triple X Mission, all about a terror plot and you are required to take out the bad guys, as well as driving as fast as you can to defuse the bomb before it explodes and kills everybody.

But if that's too hectic then what about games to improve driving technique and test your ability to park the vehicle as it should be done? Driving Test is a game like that. It could even help you learn to drive, provided you take driving lessons as well. There's also a game called Parking Lot, which is similar, except it won't really teach you driving. It's more about parking cars without having an accident but not taking too long about it either.

Another good game is Traffic Director in which you get to be a traffic cop. You must control the highways when they are full of traffic speeding along and it's not an easy task at all to avoid causing a smash.

Sometimes you might get bored playing straight car game. One solution is to find games about other vehicles. These could be mad trucks or quad bikes and mini-moto bikes. 4 Wheel Fury 2 is all about racing on those types of mini-moto minibikes.

And then there's Monster Truck Daredevil. This one has a lot of major stunts in it involving huge scary trucks on a race track.

If you want to play some of these car games you only have to check out internet sites. Most of these sites will cost you nothing to play.
