You're going to need to play these parkour games if you want to get the best platforming experience possible. Parkour is an up and coming street sport that involves navigating the environment and performing jumps and flips over the local architecture. The following parkour games gives you the best experience you can have using street running elements with a controller in hand. If you're looking for a great vicarious experience, be sure to try out some of these parkour games.

  1. "inFamous." This Playstation 3 exclusive is one of the best parkour games out there. You play a super-powered man set in a world rife with corruption and moral choices, making you decide whether to side with the civilians or turn against them. The city turns out to be an amazing parkour playground full of skyscrapers and alleyways for you to run around, making this a great game for parkour junkies.
  2. "Tomb Raider Underworld." This is one of the best parkour games ever because it combines parkour action with a smoking hot babe! Lara Croft is back in this amazingly dark adventure that places her all over the world. The parkour action is one of the focal points, having you climb all over city structures and ancient ruins alike!
  3. "The Saboteur." This game, which feels like a marriage of "Grand Theft Auto" meets "Schindler's List," is one of the most unique parkour games out today. One of the main focal points is freeing Nazi-occupied France from those brown-shirted thugs, and the best way to do so is by climbing up buildings and destroying their installations. This is one of the best parkour games because it combines street running with a sandbox environment.
  4. "Assassin's Creed II." The first "Assassin's Creed" was a great game that took place in The Cradle Of Civilization, but had its own flaws. The sequel addresses most of those issues while giving us some of the best parkour action we've seen yet. If you love Rennaisance-era Italy, then you're going to eat up this amazing game of cat and mouse with some of the most satisfying parkour action ever.
  5. "Mirror's Edge." This is one of the few true parkour games that, sadly, didn't get it quite right. Though the game looks gorgeous, too much of it takes place in crowded corridors and, thus, seems to undermine the whole idea behind parkour. However, it makes it on this list for having some truly breathtaking moments out in a vast city, giving for lots of room for parkour.
