Just like any other gaming category, car games can be separated into a number of specific types. For the purposes of this article lets list them as driving games, racing games, Disney Pixars Cars games, and 3D games. Each one of these categories has something unique to contribute to car games as a whole and can be enjoyed by just about anyone. Lets go ahead and discuss each part by defining them and possibly giving some fun examples of them!
Lets put our pedal to the metal with driving games! Driving games form somewhat of a catchall category when they pretty much dont belong to the other more specific groups. They could include games with obstacle courses where you have to survive as long as you can as you drive across rugged terrain or games where you do stunts or have to figure out how to make it through physics driven puzzles or other more destructive car games like that of demo derby games. Parking games are also lumped into this category because they have such a simple premise! Secondly we can talk about racing games. Of course, these are the most common car games out there. How these games are alike pretty obvious: the player races other cars on some sort of track. However, there are some facets of these games that make them different from one another. Some are simply side-scroll racers while others use a top-down view. Some have boosts, and others have obstacles to dodge. The best ones, though, usually let you earn money to upgrade or buy a new car. The player gets to unlock new, more challenging tracks and obtain achievements. Therefore its easy to see that there are all kinds of different racing games to find and play online!
Now we can shift gears to Disney Pixars Cars games. These are games based off of the awesome childrens movies that even adults have come to enjoy. These are usually high quality games that take small parts of one of the two movies with everyones favorite characters to give you fun objectives or tasks to complete the game. There are two really fun games that come to mind here. One is a game where you race as Lightning McQueen while trying as hard as you can not to let anyone pass you if you get the lead. Another game has the player drive Lightning McQueen through a field revving his engine at tractors and keeping away from Frank the combine. There are other games that have timed puzzles of movie posters or pictures from the movie that you can color and print.3D car games are usually just a different type of racing game. As you would suspect, they are 3D, not 2D. The viewpoint is from behind the racer, and the player moves back and forth get boost or money to pass the other cars or to dodge different kinds of obstacles placed throughout the track. The landscape might be rural or urban, but there are hardly ever any hills; its almost always flat. Sometimes you dont race, and your objective might be to destroy the other cars with some sort of weapon that is mounted to your car.
As we cross the finish line of our discussion about car games, we can see that there are plenty of interesting games to explore throughout the internet, so have fun and find some car games!
