Car games are a genre of video games that revolve around driving and racing vehicles, typically cars, in various settings and scenarios. These games range from highly realistic simulators, like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport, which focus on accurate vehicle physics and real-world tracks, to more arcade-style experiences, like Mario Kart or Need for Speed, where speed, fun, and exaggerated mechanics take precedence. Players can engage in races, time trials, stunt challenges, or open-world exploration, with some games offering customization of cars and upgrades to enhance performance. Car games often appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers, providing fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled action or more strategic, skill-based racing experiences.
