Hi, I have been looking for some games with massive awe inspiring explosions. What games do you think have the sweetest explosions?

BF:BC2 looks amazing when you put C4's all around a house and wait for someone to enter it.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 have some really amazing explosions and various destructible environmental surrounding. Give it a shot.

Try fallout 3. Objects fly everywhere when you set off an explosion or shoot with a rocket. I won't spoil but if you become evil in the game, you get to watch a nuke go off from miles away.

Earth Defense Force has quite a few surprisingly huge explosions... Like, ones that take up the entire screen even though the robot you blew up was a mile away.

Some of the sound effects from JC2 are great as well... Like when you bail from a plane, it spirals out of control, and in the distance you near this faint...... ffffFFFWOOOMPF!.... and think, "I bet that looked cool".

Do you mean cool things happening to cause the explosions or just massive awe inspiring explosions? Because while a lot of games have cool things that result in explosions I'm not sure how you top Fallout 3's nuke and terms of massive awe inspiring explosions.

I've got Fallout 3 and I'm playing new Vegas right now. @ Agent_Kaliaver It doesn't really matter, either, but I guess I'd prefer more like weapons explosions. So far Chromehounds I think had decent explosions. It's been a while and I can't remember though lol. Also I like the ones in World in Conflict, ive got it on computer though and I have to say the explosions were pretty neat. So far it sounds like Bad Company 2 and Just Cause 2

This is really funny to me. Someone is looking for a game based solely on the quality of the explosions? To each his own I guess....

I see your point, however I'm not going to run out and buy a $60 game just for explosions, I was thinking more along the lines of demos... Then in a while thats what ebays for ;)

I agree that blowing up Megaton in Fallout 3 was a large and memorable explosion, especially because I killed countless civilians in the blast.

Definately JC2, I love blowing up random cars or boats just to watch the explosion.

Kind of on topic... did anyone watch the 12 minute BF3 footage?

I loved pretty much all of it, but those car explosions were a little weak when he was firing down from that overpass. Anyone else think so?

i thought the saboteur had great explosions, since you spend 75% of the game blowing stuff up.

While it may not look anything outstanding these days, I have always found something amazing about when the big building gets blown up at the end of one of the Russian levels on Call of Duty 2 after you set the charges. Possibly because it is satisfying to see after how frustrating/difficult it can be on veteran :P. Also, this is a very old game and the graphics aren't very good (personally), but I recently downloaded Duke Nukem 3D on Xbox Live Arcade and whenever a huge amount of damage happens to certain areas (sometimes it is triggered by simply walking through the level), it causes a chain reaction where sometimes, like a movie hero, you have to run back and dodge all of the explosions and if you don't you will die instantly. As already said, they don't LOOK amazing, but they are certainly amazing to be a part of! :D
