Car Games (Reviewed June 2020) Best Selling Car Games on Amazon Buyers Guide Reviews 2020 car games review - 'Burnout Paradise Remastered' image source: Electronic Arts / AmazonWhen youve finished a long day at the coalface, there is nothing quite like settling in comfortably for a bit of video gaming, whether that be with the best in shooting games or driving games. Car games in particular enable you to safely test your concentration, hand-eye coordination to the very limit, at the steering wheel of a souped up rally car, or a Formula One car, or to drive as part of an overall adventurous task, requiring task completion and the achievement of objectives.Of course, if youre a busy career professional, or an entrepreneur, you will have been doing this for real all day (possibly not in a car, but certainly testing all of the physical and emotional responses to the simulated video game challenge). This partly explains why professionals account for such a large proportion of the gaming public. Of course, theyre just plain old-fashioned escapism, a way to have some harmless ex citement and exercise your competitive streak in a fun arena.Best Car Games of 2020Our reviews team has looked at broad variety of the best driving gaming experiences across a range of platforms, including XBox, PlayStation, iOS and Android phones, and compiled these reviews of the best car games.ColCol'Forza Motorsport 7' Check Price 'Gran Turismo Sport' Check Price 'Burnout Paradise' Check Price 'Assetto Corsa' Check Price 'Need for Speed: Payback' Check Price 'Test Drive Unlimited 2' Check Price 'Project Cars: Game of the Year Edition' Check Price 'Extreme Car Driving Simulator 3D' App Check Price 'Real Racing 3' App Check Price 'Car Simulator' App Check Price 1.
