10 Best Car Games of All Time

Computer games are still fun, and among all the different genres of them, car games also have their place. There is no one among us who has not heard of the Need for speed series, Gran Turismo or Colin McRae.

We took a look at some of them and put them together Top 10 games. A difficult task, because in 40 years development of video games and consoles has accumulated quite a few titles. We have selected those who are stood out or remained in our memory in one way or another. Enjoy the gameplay and nostalgia.

10. Crazy Taxi

The essence is already hidden in the title of this computer game, Crazy, or in Slovenian, nori or nori. This fun game from in 1999 had a simple goal. The actor had to bring the passengers to their destination as quickly as possible with a taxi. Games lacks reality, but she made up for it with fun. Maybe after all this time there would be a chance for her revival. May we suggest the title Crazy Uber?

9. Forza Motorsport 6

Forza Motorsport 6 was the first game to make the most of the console's features Xbox One. It boasts one of the of the best graphics and the most sophisticated gaming drive. The game has accumulated a good number of online users, and with an advanced artificial intelligence system it doesn't get boring. And when we also mention that the game is commented by guys from Top Gear, nothing more needs to be added.

8. Colin McRae Rally

The Colin McRae Rally was a long shot in 1998 known only by name Dirt, and it has since been released 11 sequels, the last one with a title Dirt 4. It's a more challenging game, which they say differs from real racing only in that you don't have sand for your nails behind the computer. Subarus and Mitsubishis take on challenging off-road terrain, and there are also some settings for more experienced players.

7. Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit

Now a legendary series Need For Speed appeared years ago 1994, and in 1998 we experienced its first form Hot Pursuit. Thus, for the first time, we were able to run away from the police or be in their role and hunt down the wrongdoing. In the game, we meet some of the most exotic cars of the time, as they are Ferrari 550 Maranello, Jaguar XJR-15 and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR. Five more chase-themed games followed, which got even better over the years as the game took place in an open-world mode.

6. Super Mario Kart

The pioneer of racing games has been with us for decades, and he's right cult status. A long time ago, it offered the first users a racing experience where the biggest opponent was the colleague sitting next to you on the sofa. At a time when the world didn't know much about the Internet, Mario Kart already allowed multiplayer battles. Racing and driving logs under your opponent's feet are clearly the ingredients needed to keep the game going for decades.

5. Outrun

Outrun is less of a racing game and more of a driving game compared to the others. S Ferrari Testarossa and a blonde passenger drive through different landscapes while avoiding traffic and other obstacles on the road. The basically very simple game already appeared on so-called pinball machines, and the more advanced ones were even equipped with a moving car that simulated the driving that took place on the machine's screen.

4. F-Zero X

F-Zero X is a game based on speed. Her graphic image was, to say the least, spartan, but all with a good purpose. The action unfolds so quickly that it was more important to the creators smooth operation of the game like her graphics. On the system Nintendo 64 the game runs with 60 frames per second and se it doesn't jam, even if there are 30 competitors on the track at the same time. The console offered a split screen for this game, which meant that a larger group of people could have fun at the same time.

3. Gran Turismo 2

Gran Turismo is one of the pioneers of the racing game genre as we know it today. Other competitors joined later, but initially it's on console PlayStation reigned flat Gran Tursimo 2. This made the most of the console's capabilities and offered a large selection of cars that could be modified. Even the subsequent footage of the racing and the action was something new and refreshing at the time.

2. Pole Position

In the early years of computer gaming, to be exact in 1982, Pole Position was one of the most popular arcade games. It was the first to have an actual existing racetrack Fuji Speedway, and found its way to consoles Atari and others computer systems. Even at that time, the game had an extraordinary attention to detail.

1. Gran Turismo 4

Many have Gran Turismo 4 for the one that is changed the world of car games and she breathed a new wind into this genre. She had plenty at her disposal 650 cars and quite a few runways from the real world. Among them are well-known ones Nürburgring Nordschleife and Circuit de la Sarthe. For some, the option was enabled 24-hour competition. Imagine sitting at the console for 24 hours PlayStation 2 and drive lap after lap in the Green Hell? It would be quite a project, wouldn't it? The game also offered the interesting possibility of taking pictures of cars live during the action or stationary with a backdrop of your choice.

We are aware that there are many other unmentioned car games out there. Unfortunately, there is only room for 10 candidates, but still, we can't help but mention a few remaining series. Carmageddon, Cruise'n World and Midnight Club they are just one of those that brightened many people's childhood and even some older years. All car games are fondly remembered, and some are even played today.
