25 Video Game Mechanics That Simply Don't Work In Real Life

It's a universal rule that if a game lets you do a roll, it's the optimum form of movement. It's widely believed to be faster than running and many a gamer has found themselves rolling everywhere rather than doing boring old running to get from A to B.

Now just think if this happened in real life. It'd certainly make the 100 metre sprint a hell of a more amusing time as each competitor rolls and rolls forwards. If videogame logic is to be applied, anyone who tries this should, in theory, be able to beat the world record set by a standard upright running competitor.

What about the police chasing down a criminal or something like that too? You'd have the criminal rolling down the street, and the police hightailing it behind them with their own specialist rolling moves.
