6 games for fans of quirky little race cars

When you hear “racing games”, you often think of simulations. You know, those games where you get to drive cars that you could never afford in real life, games that take hours of practice to tame your steed, and where the slightest technical slip will stop you from matching Sébastien Loeb or securing a place on that F1 podium. Games that demand time and experience. And yet, the racing game pantheon also includes arcade racers. Games that are easy to learn. Games that are fun, that can be played with your friends, and where the fastest driver isn’t necessarily the one who wins. So without further ado, here’s something for all tastes and gamers of all ages.

Bang Bang Racing

This racing game takes place on convoluted tracks where you’ll need to make good use of your nitro to finish in first place, not to mention crashing through cones and and oil drums, or blowing up fuel cans to slow down your opponents. The graphics are nice to look at and the smooth driving is a real joy. It’s fun from the word go as bumpers collide, just keep an eye out for traps on the track...

Mantis Burn Racing

Get ready for racing through snow, dust, and mud, and through exhaust fumes as you desperately try not to fishtail all over the place and, of course, avoid the machine guns! You’ll also need to swerve through the mines to make sure you’re not the one going “bang”! The vehicle animations are perfect and the graphics packed with detail. It’s just like playing with your toy cars when you were a kid... just much, much faster.

Garfield Kart

A great introduction to racing games for younger players. This game might be a bit slow and easy for adults, but kids love it. In this game, Garfield’s friends – Jon, Odie, Nermal and Arlene – collect sweets, fire heat-seeking pies, get speed boosts from lasagne, and swap places with a magic wand.
