Crash Cars

Crash Cars is the kind of game where the whole point is to smash things up. This is not a polite driving game. You get behind the wheel of a beat-up vehicle and go straight for the other cars.

The goal is simple: cause as much damage as possible and be the last one moving. If you like the idea of a demolition derby but want it on your phone or tablet, this is the one to check out.

The game gives you a few different ways to play. In one mode, you just need to get from point A to point B without wrecking your own car. It sounds easy, but the road is full of junk and obstacles.

Another mode is all about the chase. You race around and smash into other vehicles to score points. The third mode is a bit different.

You drive a car into a deep well and try to take out the enemy vehicles down there. Each mode changes how you think about the crash.

What makes the damage feel real is the soft body physics. When you hit another car, the metal bends and crumples like it should. It is not just a simple animation.

The cars react to the force of the hit. That makes every crash feel different. You can see the fenders fold and the doors pop.

It is messy and loud, and that is the fun of it.

You can pick from a bunch of different cars. Some are tougher, some are faster. You can also upgrade your ride to make it better at taking hits or going faster.

The arenas change too. You can fight it out in a dusty yard or a more open space. There is even a mode with heavy traffic if you want to dodge cars while you drive.

The game runs offline, which is a big plus. You do not need a connection to play. The graphics are sharp, and the controls are smooth.

You can play with a keyboard or just touch controls. It is easy to pick up and start smashing.

ZOXOK is the publisher behind this one. They have put together a solid package for anyone who just wants to crash cars without any of the real-world cost. If you are tired of racing games where you have to stay on the track and follow the rules, this is the opposite of that.

You make your own rules with your bumper.
