5 Most Downloaded Driving Games for Android for Boys

Driving games are the closest thing to a test drive you can get without leaving the house: pick a car, pick a road, and see how fast you can go without hitting anything. Android has hundreds of them, from arcade racers to hill-climb games that are really about balancing a car on two wheels. This list gathers five free driving games whose developer and user rating come from their official Google Play listings.

Every game below is free to download from Google Play, and the developer and user rating for each one comes from its official Google Play listing. We picked games that are easy to learn but still offer plenty to do, so you can play for five minutes or fifty and still have a good time.

1. Asphalt 8 - Car Racing Game

Asphalt 8 - Car Racing Game by Gameloft SE is the arcade racer most Android players know by name. It is built around short, fast races with jumps, nitro boosts, and cars that look far more expensive than anything in a school car park. It is free to download, and Google Play users rate it 4.5 stars. It is the pick for anyone who wants a racing game that looks great on a phone screen and asks nothing more of you than to hold the accelerator down.

2. CSR 2 Realistic Drag Racing

CSR 2 Realistic Drag Racing by Zynga is the drag racer for players who like the car as much as the race. You build a garage, tune your car, and race in short straight-line duels where the start matters more than the steering. It is free to download, and Google Play users rate it 4.6 stars. It is the slowest-paced game in this list, and the best one if you enjoy collecting and upgrading cars as much as driving them.

3. Hill Climb Racing 2

Hill Climb Racing 2 by Fingersoft is the sequel to one of the most downloaded driving games on Android. The idea is simple: drive as far as you can over hills without flipping the car, and spend the coins you earn on a better engine. It is free to download, and Google Play users rate it 4.2 stars. It is the funniest game in this list, because the crashes are the point — and because the driver always lands on his head.

4. Drift Max Pro Car Racing Game

Drift Max Pro Car Racing Game by Tiramisu is the game for players who think a corner is only fun if the car is sideways. It is built around drifting: slide the car through corners, chain the drifts together, and score points for style. It is free to download, and Google Play users rate it 4.6 stars. It is the hardest game in this list to master, and the most satisfying once the slides start to feel natural.

5. Traffic Rider

Traffic Rider by skgames puts you on a motorbike and sends you weaving through traffic on a motorway. It is a first-person game, so the sense of speed is stronger than in any other game in this list. It is free to download, and Google Play users rate it 4.2 stars. It is the best pick for short sessions, because one run takes about as long as a traffic light, and the next run is always one tap away.

For a first download, try Asphalt 8 or Traffic Rider: both are free, instantly understandable, and good for playing alone. If you want something you can play for months, CSR 2 gives you a garage to build, and Hill Climb Racing 2 gives you a mountain to climb. Whatever you choose, all five are free to try, so you can install a few and keep the ones you come back to.

Driving games work best when they fit around your day, not the other way around. A couple of short races is usually more fun than one long one, and most of these games are designed exactly for that. Put the phone down when the fun stops, and there will always be another race waiting tomorrow.
