Free Fun Racing Games Online

There are so many activities to do at the computer, and besides working you can also relax and have fun. One of the methods of having fun is to play a video game. There are many types of these games, with all the possible topics and characters. The most complex are the console and big computer games, that you have to buy and then install on your computer or console. These are usually pretty expensive, and require a lot of resources from your computer. They are also very complex and it can take you days or even weeks to finish a game of this type. But if you don’t have enough time or money to spend for a game, then you can always choose a free online game. Yes, it’s true, they are absolutely free! You can find them on may sites on the internet, so just search for them. They are usually using the flash technology, this means they are simple, easy to play and won’t require you a lot of time (you can easily finish a game in a few minutes). They don’t even need an advanced computer, and a lot of hard disk space because they can be played directly from the internet, without any installation or copying. Like we said the games have all kinds of crazy topics and characters. You can find sports games, adventure games, shooting, fighting, kids games, adult games and many more. The characters can be both fantastic and real. So you will find real persons in funny games, for example Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, George Bush, Barrack Obama and many more.

If you like cars and races, there are many free and fun racing games online. The most famous site with flash games is miniclip.com. It has many cool games, from all the categories, and they have a nice graphic and game-play. So that’s why we’ll choose some racing game from this site, play them and discuss them.

First we’ll be playing the Miniclip Rally. This game features three other characters from other games on miniclip.com and they will make a race to see which one is the fasters. You can choose between the monkey, Zed and the 3 foot ninja. Each comes with a cool and unique vehicle to race with. There are also three tracks (jungle, highway and china town) and each vehicle will be better in a different track. As you figured out the monkey will be better in the jungle, Zed will be better on the highway the ninja in the China town. Unfortunately you won’t race against the other characters, but you will make a race against the clock. You will see the vehicle from above, and the game play and the way you control your car are pretty nice. You will also have the image of the track on the screen to see exactly what comes ahead. There will also be arrows on the road, telling you when a curve is approaching. Try to avoid the ponds, and also don’t get off the track because this will slow you down. Also try to run over the arrows on the road, because they will make you go faster for a few seconds. After making a lap, you will see the ghost image of your car in the previous lap, so you can know if you are going faster or slower than the previous lap. Use just the arrow keys to control the vehicle. During the game you will hear some pretty cool music…so enjoy it!

The next free and fun online racing game from this site is the “Rich Racer”. Your goal in this race is simple…just get first to the finish line. Actually you don’t need to be first in the first races, it is enough to be among the first 5 to get to the next level. The graphic of the game is very nice, and the cars and tracks are looking cool. Also the driving sensation is nice, and you can even see the speed that you are going. Despite all these good parts, the game has also a few negative parts, which are not something usual for the games on miniclip.com. First of all the game has no sound…or at least we don’t hear any. So if you played this game before and you had sound, just let us know. Another negative part is that it often happens that your car and the opponents car combine together. Or you can also combine with the track….you simply seem to go down into the ground. Sometimes it even happened that all the opponents were flying, instead of racing on the track :). It is a shame that the game has so many bugs, because otherwise it could have been very good.

Now let’s play the game called “Rural racer”. As you can tell from the name, the game takes place in a rural environment. The first race is between you and another car. But unfortunately the vehicles are very small, and also pretty difficult to control, so it will be quite challenging to make 8 laps and win the first race. But after you get used with the car, it can be much easier. You can control your car with the arrow keys, and also activate the turbo by pressing the Shift key. Good luck!

Now let’s change the vehicles and play a racing game with boats. This one is called the “power boat”. First you can choose your boat, and you can select one of the three cool looking models. These are called Miniclipper, Seagull and Hurricane. Your goal will be to challenge your opponents and be the first to cross the finish line. Our computer seems to have a problem with this game, and we are not able to play it, so we can’t tell you more about the game play. Hopefully this is not an error from the game, and if you managed to play it, tell us more about it.

There are many other racing games in miniclip.com, and a lot more others on the internet, so those of you who like races will be really satisfied. Most of the racing games have cars, but there are also many with motor bikes, boats, karts, ski jets, tanks and even caravans. So have fun!
