   Looking for examples of games
  I'm doing some, er, 'research', and I'm looking for examples of a certain style of game. A good example would be Vangers, a game where you drive around the surface of a world in a 'car', with weapons, and missions to accomplish. Its the driving around the world, but not being a racing game that interests me. Auto assault looks like it might be a lot of fun. Driver and GTA are good examples too.Anyone have any examples of similar games I could research, instead of working on my dissertation?   
  Mexican Motor Mafia?   ;  Does "Crazy Taxi" count?   ;  Wow, google rocks. 5 seconds ago I'd never heard of Mexican Motor Mafia, now I'm downloading it.Crazi taxi is good, but slightly too 'arcadey' to play for long.   ;  Trans-Am! But in case you don't have a zx spectrum lying around here's a pc versionBut seriously, GTA is probably the best example you're gonna get.If the definition of 'car with weapons' can extend to 'tank' or other military vehicle, Operation Flashpoint comes highly recommendedVigilante 8 was pretty good fun too..   ;  Mexican Motor Mafia's quite good, I'm going to have to buy it, its the kind of thing I was looking for. Trans-Am looks interesting.Thanks for the help.Anyone got any more to add?Edit - Doh, just realised you mentioned Operation Flashpoint and Vigilante 8 as well. I'll definately take a look at them  [smile]   ;  Before Digital Anvil went under, they were to build a game called Loose Cannon, which would have probably satisfied your roadtrip wanderlust.Also, I think the Auto Assault MMORPG is coming out from NCSoft soon, that might be another one to try. Personally, I've always wanted to do a vehicle game with a big world and all kinds of missions.   ;  Yeah, I'm looking forward to Auto Assault  [wink]   ;  If you've got a PS2 or Xbox, Mercenaries is an interesting take on the GTA genre.   ;  Armada (Dreamcast).Also: http://www.armada-online.com/.
