Need for Madness
« on: May 22, 2015, 09:27:45 PM »
Really good free flash racing game online. It is very voxelly and has a unique art style. There is destruction physics. You have a power bar that controls how fast you go and decays over time. You can keep it up by doing stunts. This is one of the only racing games that I know of where you can win the race by destroying the cars. You can download it at http://www.needformadness.com/. Need for Madness 1 and 2 (the singleplayer campaigns) are free and will drain days of your time. The multiplayer is paid unfortunately, but you don't need it.

It's also one of the few racing games with suspense. In one of the levels there's this big truck that goes backwards on the track instead of forwards. It follows you when it meets up with you and tries to waste all the cars. So you're heading for a checkpoint then see an arrow for the nearest car point to the side of you, then start spinning as the big truck closes in.

TL:DR Best browser-based flash game out there.

Ha. I had the NFM1 downloadable version that was hijacked by Arcadetown (i.e, replace all Radical Play logos with theirs), it came with a html document with the game embedded so I could play it freely and my secondary/high school would have never been able to block it. Good times.

Now that I have the Steam version, I boot it up occassionaly.

The only way to make a racing game good is to make you able to kill all the other racers, yes.

Also slightly relevant : http://remedygames.com/games/death-rally-2/ (Download the original, though)
