Is there any game where you can drive a building?

sure, we can drive cars, trucks, tanks, planes, spaceships and all sorts of stuff but has there ever been a video game that allowed you to drive a building? out of all the insane video game related stories that i have heard, never before have i ever heard someone say "i drove a building into that motherfucker."

maybe i'm overlooking something, but has there ever been a video game that has allowed you to defy any sort of logic, and has allowed you to pilot a building regardless if it had wheels or not?

thank you, Giant Bomb! i'm hoping that you can aid me in my quest.

Finally. we're asking the important questions. It's about time.

I mean, driving buildings, right?

The closest I know of is driving building on a truck in those trucking games. There has to be a game like this, someone must find it!

Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts.

You can totally build a house shaped car?

That counts right!?

Dragon Quest V, and maybe Breath of Fire II. That's all I can remember right now.

Man, I'm pretty sure I've seen that somewhere before...

final fantasy 8 duh I mean come on 
I'm just jokeing but, in ff8 you get to drive a college

How about driving a flying castle?

@WhyBeAre: wait, what do you mean? what you're on about seems like madness.

@Canteu: that sounds like a good substitute..if you're a pansy. we need some real buildings up in this mother

@Video_Game_King: DETAILS. i want to hear about the magic that is driving buildings

@AjayRaz:

In Dragon Quest V, you have to pull some time travel bullshit to fetch an orb to power the heavenly city of Zenithia. You can pilot it around, but it's more fun to unfurl your carpet and play Aladdin. I don't remember much of Breath of Fire II, though; I remember having a city you could customize, to some extent, and it does fly, at some point (it ends up landing on top of the final dungeon), but I don't remember if you can pilot the damn thing.

Final Fantasy 6/ 3 US. You totally drive a castle underground.

@AjayRaz: I mean like your a shipping truck that can have those portable houses on them (currently the name escapes me) but hopefully you know what I am talking about.

Yeah I guess most Final Fantasy games will involve driving/flying buildings as most people in here have mentioned. I suppose any game with a vehicle editor is eligible as well if you build a house shaped vehicle. Also, Minecraft if you got that one mod.

the fuck

Can you drive the Statue of Liberty in any of the assortment of Ghostbusters games?

@Video_Game_King: can you crash it into stuff? that seems to be the only reason why i would want to pilot a building.

@XanderCrews: a castle underground? with someone has a 12 Oz Mouse avatar, i have no problems believing that.

@WhyBeAre: that sounds dope. can you like, steer around around and let the building fall out of the back?

@eroticfishcake: there's a minecraft mod that lets you drive buildings? sheesh. and i thought the plane mod was bananas.

@AjayRaz: I have something better:

Not exactly driving a building, but in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story you fight as giant Bowser and you're against some building that was in the water for some reason. As well as fighting a fucking train.

@AjayRaz:

You can bump Zenithia into stuff. (It's an SNES game, mind you.)

Ahem. Gerry's Mod.

God dammit Ajay.

@TheSeductiveMoose: that video may have made my question obsolete. that is the greatest thing that i have ever seen.

@TehFedro: i appreciate it, but that doesn't seem to be what i'm looking for. i mean, in Red Faction: Guerrilla, the entire game is pretty much a battle against buildings.

@Video_Game_King: fair enough. i'll take it since that's all i kind of got.

Depending on the building, a skyscraper for example, the aerodynamics wouldn't work well for driving. The drag created all along the building's flat surface would always make you do a wheelie and then fall on your back. Even if you manage to get moving without that happening, when you brake, you would do the opposite, with everything tipping towards the front.

Believe me, I know a lot about building driving.

@AjayRaz: Well then I'll make a game about driving buildings. In about... 40 years.

ff8 college 
why no love?

@Strife777: while i appreciate the logic, there's no room for logic here. we need to find the most logic-defying video game, as that must be the one that allows us to drive buildings.

@kingzetta: i have plenty of love for driving educational institutions, but i think we should scratch off Final Fantasy, as we've probably confirmed that you can drive buildings in that.

I would also like to introduce a second challenge to everybody: the illusive truck gun. The best example we have is a collection of modded Halo 2 maps, one of which contained guns that would spawn weird vehicles. This broke the game very quickly.

Don't mix pot and forums, kids.

Technically it's a building.

that is a small moon, with buildings inside it.

@kashif1: So people build moons now? because that is a building.

Im pretty sure theres some crazy ass robot tv show with that kind of shit, like transformers or gundam... 
 
and fuck the people that say laputa! 
 
*Edit* 
just realized no one said laputa....  I guess thats an island so that doesnt count

I remember being able to do something like that in one of the Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku games.

Dude... you should play Saint's Row: The Third.

Noby Noby Boy lets you control a muffin shaped house thing.

You must have been watching The Meaning Of Life.

Noby Noby Boy

I have a feeling what you're describing would play like Robot Alchemic Drive.

How about 3D Dot Game Heroes, you could make yourself into a building?

You can probably move around buildings in SimCity and make car noises while you do it. Does that count?

In the Katamari series, your ball kind've drives like a building once it gets big enough. Bonus points awarded for rolling up buildings to get to that state.

I really hope that this driving buildings concept is more fully explored in 2012.

Look at my avatar. :P

The Rook is a walking castle. So its a building you can control. :D

It's not exactly 'driving' though, so... >_>

@SpaceRunaway: right, and can't your sword pretty much turn into a building?

@JasonR86: i appreciate the creativity (and i would be lying if i said i've never considered doing that before) but i don't think that will do.

@Ravenlight: finally. someone with some enthusiasm for this wonderful concept. i completely forgot about Katamari, and that seems to roll a bit more up the thing i've been looking for.

@WarlockEngineerMoreDakka: better than nothing! i'll take it. i mean, if you can't drive it, you must be it.

Aren't there buildings or structures in Starcraft that can lift off and move around the map?

It has got to be possible to do that in Gary's Mod, right?

@James_ex_machina: Correct and good memory. That had slipped my mind as well.

what have you been doing lately? 
 
no, i don't think there has any way to drive a building.
