Car Racing Online Games-introduction

General genres

Racing simulators

 Simulation style racing games try to convincingly replicate the managing of an automobile. Theynormally license real cars or racing leagues, but will in some cases use fantasy cars manufactured to resemblereal ones if unable to get an official license for them. Vehicular behavior physics are a keyfactor in the experience. The rigors of being a proficient race driver are generally also integrated(such as the need to deal with a car’s tire condition and fuel level). Adequate cornering technique andprecision racing maneuvers (such as trail braking) are given priority in the simulation racingonline games.

Although these racing simulators are specifically constructed for people with a high grade of drivingskill, it’s not uncommon to find aids that can be enabled from the game menu. The most common aidsare traction control (TC), anti-lock brakes, navigating assistance, damage resistance, clutchassistance and automatic gear changes. Racing simulators are usually piloted completely from theinterior driving view, as driving viewpoints from a perspective other than the driver’s are considered arcade.A few of these racing simulators are customizable, as game followers have decoded the tracks, cars andexecutable files. World wide web communities have grown around the simulators considered as the mostrealistic and many websites host internet championships.

Arcade racers

Arcade style racing games put a good time and a fast-paced experience above all else, as cars commonlycompete in specific ways. A key quality of arcade racers that specifically distinguishes them fromsimulation racers is their much more liberal physics. Whereas in real racing (and subsequently, thesimulation equivalents) the driver must reduce their speed substantially to take most turns, arcaderacing games usually encourage the player to “power slide” the car to allow the player to keep uptheir speed by traveling through a turn. Accidents with other racers, track obstacles, or trafficautos is usually much more exaggerated than simulation racers as well. In most cases, arcaderacers only remove the precision and rigor required from the simulation experience and focusstrictly on the racing element entirely. They often license real cars and leagues, but are similarlyopen to more unusual settings and cars. Races take place on highways, windy roads, or in cities,they could be multiple-lap circuits or point-to-point, with one or multiple paths (sometimes withcheckpoints), or different types of competition, like demolition derby, jumping, or testing drivingcompetencies.

Some arcade racing games raise the competition between racers by including weapons that can be usedagainst opponents to slow them down or otherwise impede their progress so they can be passed. Thisis a staple feature in “kart racing” games, such as the Mario Kart series, but this kind ofgameplay also shows up in standard, car-based racing games as well. Weapons can range fromprojectile attacks to traps along with non-combative things like speed boosts. Weapon-based racinggames include games such as Full Auto, Rumble Racing, and Blur.

Sub-genres

On-road -In a car racing game, the primary gameplay option is driving the car. However, they occasionallyoffer a secondary mode for tuning up the car. There are different standards in winning car racinggames, most of which apply to real life circumstances while most are specific to the game itself.

Simulation-style racing games-Racing games that are more focused on realism.Semi-simulation-style racing games-These games are neither simulators nor arcade racers; they standin the middle of the spectrum.

 Arcade-style racing games-Racing games that aren’t focused on realism.

 Sports games

 Event racing-Game associated with sports events.

 Monster truck racing games-To date, Monster Truck Madness is the only monster truck racing gamethat adds some simulation aspects, such as drag racing. The rest of the games are based either oncar crush racing or vehicular combat.

Kart racing games-Kart racers, popularized by (and sometimes credited to) the Mario Kart series, are akind of racing game that offers the ability to pick up items during the race, and use them toamplify one’s efficiency in a race, or to attack other players and obstruct their progress. Likearcade racers, kart racers feature simple racing physics and imaginative scenarios to race in.The vocabulary itself was extracted from Go-Kart racing.

 Water racing games-Racing that take place on the ocean, in the sea and on other water-basedarenas.

 Off-road racing games-Off-road racing is a format of racing in which different classes of speciallyadapted motor vehicles (including cars, trucks, motorcycles and buggies) compete in races throughoff-road regions.

Futuristic racing games-With science fiction configuration, these games have an abstract view to racingand may feature abstract vehicles such as hover bikes and race in unknown regions. Without havingto follow physical laws, the races and vehicles can maneuver with abnormal speeds.

Racing role playing games-Racing games that incorporate the elements of a RPG, such as characterqualities and stages.

 Mission-based racing games-Racing games feature the players’ intent to not race around the tracks bygoing on a variety of laps, but to pick up passengers to take them to somewhere they want to go orto carry things to somewhere.

Vehicular combat games-In these games, gameplay is mostly focused on the combat aspect of drivinggames, getting vehicles equipped with weapons used to attack opponents (or the motor vehicle itself is aweapon).
