What game has the best car damage?

With all the new racing sims and new games coming out, player are looking for that realism that others such as Forza does not provide. If Forza is claiming to be a simulator, at least simulate the car crashing. prefixed dents and scripted scratches aren't cutting it for the gamers. A game like GTA 4 blew out all other racing games with its realistic crashes. But whats the best? Here is a list from current gen games (in no order) with the best car damage.

1. Grid

Grid made its name for having the best crashes in the a game at that time. Grid out sold all other racing game sims and got better scores than most. The car damage system made the game fit in with the simulator experience, they looked really realistic. Not only could you do a really cool crash but you are able to watch the instant replay using different camera angles. In Grid, there were a few limitation when you flip the car, the top would not collapse in like a real car would. If your looking for a driving sim, Grid is defiantly for you.

2. Dirt 3

Dirt 1 and 2 were also really good in the car damage system but Dirt 3 took the trophy home. Dirt 3 is almost exactly like Grid expect you are racing off road most of the times. The damage in Dirt 3 was heavily improved from Grid, we all know how realistic the damage in grid was. Dirt 3 won the award of "The most realistic car damage in a video game" in the Guinness World Records 2012 Gamers Edition.


3. GTA 4

Grand Theft Auto 4 was one of the most critically acclaimed and highest rated game on the next gen consoles. The car damage was like no other racing game. It was one of the most realistic games all around, not just driving and car crashes. The engines used in this game were Euphoria and the Rage engine. The Rage engine is what helped make the car damage so realistic. Most of the damage is based on physics. If you haven't yet tried this game, go get this now if your craving realism in your games.
