Funny Games Street Racing

The computers had evolved so much during the last decade. Many years ago the computer were really big and unpractical and they were used for simple tasks such as math calculations. But the technology has developed so much, that in our days you can do so many complex tasks on your computer such as watching a movie, listening to music, working and playing video games. You can find many types of video games and a popular category are the funny online games. These can be played directly from the internet, but of course you can also download them if you want. But since our days almost everyone has unlimited access to the internet, all you have to do is remember the game address, and you can play it whenever you want, just by accessing that web page.

There are all kind of funny online games from adventure games, shooting games, arcade, sports, boys and girl games and so many more. A popular category is the racing games. You will have many kind of vehicles to choose from such as formula one cars, rally cars, usual cars, motorbikes, boats and even ski jets. If you are looking for a more familiar gaming experience, rather than playing on a race circuit, the street racing games are just the right thing to choose. Here you can play with normal, day by day cars and you will race on the crowded streets of a city.

A cool game from this category is called exactly the "Street racer". It begins with a nice music and first you get the chance to choose your car. You will have some cool and powerful cars such as the Nissan 350 Z , Subaru Impreza, Mercedes SLK and some others which are looking very familiar but they are hard to identify :) Maybe if you'll figure out what cars they are, you can let us know. After choosing your car you will go to the first location, which is a 1 mile country road. Your goal is simple, you must finish first on each track to unlock the next one. The game graphic is quite cool, considering that it is only a small flash game. You can steer your car using the arrow keys or the W, A, S, D and you can activate the hand break by pressing the space bar. The CTRL key changes the views, and the shift key is for the nitro. You can press P whenever you want to pause the game, or ESC to quit to the game menu. With all of these said, now just enjoy the game!

Another street racing game is the "Fast and the Furious street racer". As you can notice from the name, this game is inspired by the popular "The fast and the furious" movie. First you can choose your car. You have four opportunities: the 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 1969 Dodge Charger, 1995 Toyota Super Turbo and the Honda S2000. You can also set the gaming difficulty level and the details level according to your computer configuration. The controls are simple you must use only your arrow keys for the steering and the space and ctrl keys for shifting the gears up and down. All you have to do is be sure to change the gear in time, and also avoid the traffic. Even though the graphic is not so complex, the game is pretty cool due to its manual transmission. This makes him a little more realistic, and you can't even change the gear without releasing the throttle.

Another cool thing which was made popular by the "Fast and the Furious" movie series, is the drifting. So if you are interested in this kind of races, you can find some on the Internet. One of them is simply called the "Street drifting". Your goal is to finish each level in one of the three top positions, to go to the next level. To clear each stage you will have to do cool drifts, but also be careful at your opponents because after they take over you it will be difficult to chase back. The controls are simple, you will use just your arrow keys. You will also get to choose your car out of some famous car producers such as Nissan, Subaru, Mercedes and Toyota. Even if the cars are not looking so great, it's a cool thing that you get the chance to tune your car, by adding different kinds of spoilers, skirts or wheels on it. You also can change some of the car colors, including the body, roof, tint, spoiler and skirts color. As we said before the graphic is not so complex but the game can be really fun due to the crazy drifts you will make. Even if you are driving on tarmac, you will have the impression of driving on ice :)

Another type of street racing games, are the drag races. Here you will have to drive in a straight line, as fast as possible, so you'll be the first to cross the finish line. In this type of game the gear shifting is the most important thing. You must change it at the exactly right time. If you change it too soon you will lose power and acceleration but if you change it too late, your engine will blow. One of the dragging race games is the "Drag Racer v. 3". It is a cool and complex game that we are sure you will like. First of all you will get to choose your car. There are so many cars available so it can be really difficult for you to make up your mind. Some of the brand names you will find are the Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Acura, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Ford, Chevrolet, Lexus, Dodge, Audi, Shelby Mustang, Pontiac, BMW, Jaguar and the best of them are the Maserati, Mercedes, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche and Lamborghini. After picking your car you will get the chance to tune it. First of all you will choose a color for it, and after that you can customize all the body parts such as rims, hood, wings, exhaust or skirts. Even if you won't see the interior of the car, you can even change it. You can change the color and shape of the wheel, the pedals, the gear shifter and also the seats.

After you are done tuning your car, and press the "Race" button, you can choose your opponent's car and also the distance and difficulty of the race. The controls are quite simple after you get used with them. You must press the "space" bar for acceleration and the up and down arrow keys for changing the gears. Like we said before you must change the gears at the right time (when the red light is flashing) and be the first across the finish line. The game is so much fun to play, especially when you choose a very fast car such as the Lamborghini, and your opponent has a slower car, and you will beat him by a long distance ahead. For your entertainment you can even let him go ahead for a few seconds, and then you will still catch him and cross the finish line first. :)

These were just some of the cool street racing games, and you will find many more others on the Internet. Enjoy, and go as fast as possible!
