we help you like break and stuff welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
video games with the best destruction
for this list we’re looking at a variety
of video games that either revolve
around the idea of blowing things up or
the destructive aspect was simply an
additional element to heighten the rest
of the gameplay although explosions are
definitely pretty we are instead
choosing to focus solely on
environmental destruction we are also
not considering games like Minecraft or
burnout because one’s all about crafting
and the other ones all about cars number
10 breach
reaching its way into the opening slot
of our list pun intended
is this team-based first-person shooter
for the PC although the critical
reception for the game labelled it as
being nothing too special due to its
been there done that feel none could
deny that breach was showing off some
mighty impressive destructible
environments this destruction wasn’t
focused on being flashy
but rather the little details with the
player being able to shoot apart an
entire structure brick by brick
literally furthermore the variety of
weapons and explosives in the game let
players experiment and get creative with
how they wanted to go about blowing
apart everything in sight number nine
Crysis
powered by the been groundbreaking
CryEngine to crisis wild gamers with its
bombastic action and opportunities to
let us break stuff provided our
computers didn’t break while we are
trying to run it if you did have a rig
strong enough to smoothly run all the
mayhem on screen you were in for a real
treat the aforementioned CryEngine
allowed for a remarkable assault on the
senses with ultra realistic physics and
particle effects with seemingly
everything in the environment from the
cars to the trees reacting to every
smash crash & bash made by the player if
you need any more proof just look at
some of the videos of players tinkering
around in the level editor
number eight last core
placing a strong emphasis in the titles
first word you’ve got a blast away a
path for a runaway nuclear missile
carrier in this game with that in mind
developer rareware was able to place all
their efforts on making stuff fun to
demolish and let’s just say they blew
things right out of proportion in the
best kinda way the game was a non-stop
demolition derby and with multiple
vehicles available to destroy everything
in multiple ways who knew that something
so repetitive could become so addictive
well rare where clearly did as the
endless fireworks display on screen
hooked gamers to their n64 s as they
furiously tore apart one obstacle after
another in a quest to bring it all down
number 7 The Incredible Hulk ultimate
destruction when a game has the words
ultimate destruction in its title and
lets you play as the Hulk
odds are you’re in for a smashing good
time allowing players to unleash the
full fury of the Jay giant across a huge
city and desert areas ultimate
destruction gave gamers everywhere the
opportunity to Hulk out like never
before
as the Hulk there’s practically no
limits to your power you can run down a
street and send cars flying toss tanks
into the air and even bring down into
our skyscrapers with your bare hands if
you ever have a really bad day and you
just needed to let off some steam and
this was the perfect game to satisfy
your inner Hulk smash
number 6 rampage series looks like some
really big-time players are hitting the
club’s tennety if we’re able to cause a
lot of damage with the Hulk
just imagine the monsters that are ten
times his size from the moment this
franchise first arrived on the gaming
scene it encouraged players to embody
the power of a huge monster and to
unleash said power on unsuspecting
cities in you know a rampage
rampage lives up to its name as the only
real goal is to rank up as many points
as possible by tearing down building
smashing cars and bringing down enemy
helicopters in fully destructible
environments it might not appear like
much by today’s expectations but rampage
turns what would have been an otherwise
to blue hobby of knocking over public
property into a fun video game
experience number five star wars the
force unleashed the Imperials have
mobilized to TIE fighter squadron in yo
sector keep your eyes open in Star Wars
universe the force is a powerful energy
that the Jedi and thus it can use to
their advantage in combat to basically
turn the environment into one big weapon
the Force Unleashed was the first game
to truly capture that feeling of what
it’s like to wield the power of the
force in the palm of your hand even if
it was more crazier than anything you’d
ever seen in the movies
almost everything in the environments
were interactive and every force push
pull and blast with sand debris
careening in all directions while
LucasArts never really capitalized on
their proprietary digital molecular
matter technology it made for some
pretty cool wood splintering effects
number four Godzilla destroy all
monsters melee
no need to run from Godzilla when you
are Godzilla
wah-ha-ha-ha along with the massive
levels of destruction that could be
expected from a game like this it was
also a multiplayer game doubling the
players for double the on screen damage
every step taken as one of these
towering Titans of Terror send
shockwaves through the earth and
skyscrapers are torn like paper as the
battles rage on with the player able to
destroy practically anything on screen
it’s no wonder that the developers
included a fully featured construction
mode to allow players the chance to give
the cities the biggest repair bills of
all time
it says awesome as it sounds
number three Battlefield Bad Company 2
the Battlefield franchise is no stranger
to the concept of completely leveling
everything on screen one piece at a time
something that is quite evident in the
series most recent entry battlefield one
as impressive as that looks however we
feel that no other game in the series
has quite come as close to the
unparalleled levels of destruction on
display and bad company – the reason for
this is that unlike the other games
where it causing destruction is an
extension of the rest of the gameplay in
this case it’s basically encouraged the
Frostbite engine allowed for impressive
physics and stunning particle effects to
really heighten that level of intense
immersion and fuel our desires to
obliterate even more
number two just cause series
if you ever felt like the Grand Theft
Auto franchise he did a little bit more
mayhem added to its open-world structure
men the Just Cause games are definitely
your cup of tea
although Just Cause shares the same
freedom of its other open-world
counterparts what sets it apart is the
seemingly limitless levels of non-stop
mayhem
a large portion of the landscapes are
fully interactive and completely
destructible including vehicles
landmarks enemy compounds and even
entire oil rigs each subsequent sequel
added new methods of madness but notably
Just Cause twos grappling-hook which
allowed for more creative ways to make
things go smashy-smashy before we break
down our number one pick for you here if
you want herbal engines
number one Red Faction gorillas want the
EDF be looking for the Nano forge from
the moment the Red Faction series hit
the scene in the early 2000s it promoted
a fancy new engine which allow players
to blow apart entire levels this game’s
mechanic was taken to the next level in
the series’s penultimate release thanks
to gaming technology finally catching up
with the developers vision for
completely destructible environments
basically the rule of thumb for playing
Red Faction guerrilla goes like this
if you see it you can break it entire
buildings and even bridges can be
annihilated with a few well-placed shots
and the satisfaction it provides is
wondrous to behold
what’s that saying again build it and
they will come well in this case break
stuff because it’s fun is much more
appropriate

do you think had the best destruction
