	Most unrealistic "realism" game Full PM-box? Change here!

What's the most unrealistic "realism" game you have ever played/seen? By "unrealistic" I don't mean games that tries to make everything realistic, but realistic in a "in-theory-it-could-be-real" kinda games (Like Dues Ex (or whatever that game is called), which doesn't necesary try to be real, but could in theory be real...) if you understand what I'm trying to say... (This means games like Super Mario is not an option )

Carmageddon is one of the most unrealistic "realism" games I've ever played... It's realistic in a way, there's not much unrealism in the cars (The weight fits them, the stearing fits them... more or less, etc), and the maps are realistic also... but it's unrealism comes in the randomness in the game:

Anyone remember that huge yellow truck? (huge wheels, weights 50+ tons). As I got to the mission where I had to destroy it, it only took 6 sec to do so... I ran my 1.5 tons, very small, car into it's front tire (Front on front), and the truck lost 100% while I didn't lose any "health" at all...
In another game, we played MP, everybody had cars from the 1 ton to 2.5 ton... my car had lost 20% (Only the engine was destroyed, so I couldn't go fast), I drove with half speed (Based on the fact my engine was destroyed, so full speed would be pretty slow) into a parked car (With 5% "health")... I lost all 80%, while the parked car didn't lose anything at all...

This happens all the time in these games...

The "most unrealistic" part of The Sims for me was when I had Shakira, Jeri Ryan, Salma Hayek and Renee Zellweger all move in right next door.

Another thread turns into a Sims discussion and theres me thinking people hated it and never played it more than once.

FIFA series, since when did every pass lob and shot always reach its target in real football.

Says you

I played it like a few times, but the game truly lacked any depth.

Was this during the Hot Date expansion?

Naah, just when I was fooling around with downloaded skins, and felt like creating a social life for my Sim.

... let's just stop the Sims talk now, unless you've got something on-topic to say about it... I don't want this thread to be another Sims thread...

I think the sims does an ok job... What do you want to do, sit there for 24 hours to complete one in-game day?

Half-life is rather odd...

On the same note, I find Morrowind and Raven Shield very realistic.

Yes, well, a mod anyway.

Im not sure how Team Fortress is trying to be realistic though. You could say Counter-Strike is but then i think youre unlikely to survive one shot to the head from an MP5 IRL.

Which is why people who claim CS is best because the bullets don't always hit the target (as is realistic) annoy me.

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Thats because they cant control the recoil but i dont think Operation Flashpoint would catch on with younger players.
