As the name says, racing games are about car races. Usually the player can chose the brand and type of car, which is important for big car-companies as they can advertise their cars indirectly. After having chosen a car the game will start quickly since the controls and purposes of the games are usually the same – use the arrow keys, get 'er goin' and win the race. If the player can get around the curves smoothly and be quicker than everyone else he has the chance to win, thus earn virtual money with which he can buy upgrades for his car or win special tuning-parts for it so you can go faster, your break apply easier and so on. It's interesting to see how if one wins several races, new courses. The biggest differences are the area surrounding the course, in some it's about to drive very detailed and realistic-looking cars, in others you want a realistic-looking area. No matter what type of race you prefer, make sure you fasten your seat belt.
