Online Racing Games for Kids
Fun racing games for kids are more and more numerous on the Internet these days. Kids can play racing games involving any kind of vehicle on any kind of terrain and enjoy many hours of fun on the worldwide web. From the extreme motocross of daredevil and the breathtaking stunts of Stunt Bike Island to the pure speed of the Fast and the Furious or of the Motor Bike Game these games have to offer all the challenges that a kid would enjoy.
Racing games for kids like the Motor Bike Game pose all the problems that a real racer has during a motorcycle race. To play racing games like this one and win you must be aware of your timing and your fuel level at all times. A pit stop that takes too long may ensure your fuel level for the duration of the race but it will jeopardize your position, while several shorter pit stops may help you maintain your position in the race but you must always keep an eye on the fuel.
Another of the motorcycle racing games for kids is Daredevil, where the time you spend in the air is most important. When you play racing games like daredevil it's not all about crossing the finish line, the acrobatics are an important part of the final score. Any jump gets you extra points and trick maneuvers and stunts performed in mid-air can double the points you earn. If you play racing games that involve bikes it gets even more challenging and more fun because not only do you have to ride fast and perform complicated stunts, but you must not injure yourself while doing that or you might lose the race. You earn extra points for spectacular jumps and bike tricks but you lose points every time you get injured. Racing games for kids that involve cars are a bit less complicated and a lot more addictive. When playing the Fast and the Furious all you need to do is drive faster than everyone else and cross the finish line first. But the feeling you get when you cross the finish line as a winner only makes you want to play it again and again.
Truck Racing Games
Revolutionary among truck racing games, the Excite Truck is fully controlled using the Wii Remote and not with the usual game consoles. To steer the truck you are playing with all you need to do is move the Wii remote from one side to another like you would move a steering wheel. When you want to brake you just push the button marked "1" and when you want to accelerate you push the button marked "2". The Wii Remote is also equipped with a directional pad that can give your truck turbo boost. When you want to land your truck after a jump the Wii Remote must be positioned in a way that has the four wheels parallel to the ground. Unlike it is the case with other truck racing games you must first be trained and tested before actually getting to play this racing game. Only after Excite Truck decides that you are ready to play do you get to move the three trucks: the Wolf, the Firefly and the Boulder. This particular racing game has another novelty to it as it is the first of the truck racing games that allows you to play the music of your choice in the background.
Games like the MX vs. ATV Unleashed are not entirely truck racing games but they are a thrilling combination of truck racing and motorcycle racing games. This particular racing game takes trophy trucks, monster trucks and motorcycles and throws them all in a single race on a single track for your playing pleasure.
Another inventive combination is that of legendary Grand Theft Auto, although it would be more accurately described as a driving game rather than a racing game, where the goal is to snatch any vehicle that comes to hand (car, bike, motorcycle, truck, helicopter or airplane) and just enjoy the drive…while performing the tasks requested by the game, of course.
