10 Best Video Game Minigames Ever

10. Motor Kombat - Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

The mid-2000s were a golden age for gaming, with the heyday of the PS2 allowing for some seriously creative, albeit somewhat wacky, titles to be released over the years. Mortal Kombat's seventh edition, Armageddon, is one such game, being released for the PS2 and Xbox in October 2006 and then for the Nintendo Wii in May 2007.

As the final game in the original Mortal Kombat storyline, Armageddon pulled out all the stops to make this the biggest game the franchise had ever produced. All the characters from the previous games in the series were playable, the ending of the Mortal Kombat universe could be decided by the player and a plethora of new game modes were also introduced.

And though it didn't scoop up the level of praise something like Konquest garnered, the 'Motor Kombat' minigame was a fun addition that anyone could hop on and invest a few dozen hours into. Players would be able to take control of a number of characters from the game who, complete with their oversized heads and surprising amount of kart variety that Sonic Racers would be proud of, would take to a series of Mario Kart-esque tracks and race away.

The minigame was surprisingly well polished for something so wildly against the grain for the franchise, and the wide variety of power ups gave the whole mode a crazy party feel that's always fun to play with.
