History Main / CarChaseShootOut

* The first and fourth levels of the LightGunGame, ''VideoGame/LethalEnforcers 1'' have the player(s) taking on escaped bank robbers and drug dealers, respectively, in a car chase while firing at enemies periodically sticking themselves out to shoot at the players. Both levels culminate in a boss battle, respectively against a rocket-launcher wielding boss on an armored car and a helicopter whose side-turret spams missiles on the players.

** ''VideoGame/FarCry4'' opens with a Golden Path rebel gives Ajay a ride away from Pagan's fortress, during which he's given a machine pistol to shoot at the Royal Army soldiers giving chase. A recurring side mission requires Ajay to ride in the back of a supply truck and destroy any roadblocks or pursuing vehicles.

* ''VideoGame/FarCry3'' has this right after Jason and Liza escape a burning hotel that was moments away from collapsing only for the pirates nearby to start pursuing them. The player is given a grenade launcher with infinite ammo to fend them off for this segment only.

* The ''VideoGame/LikeADragon[=/=]Yakuza'' franchise has such sequences in its [[VideoGame/Yakuza1 first game and its remake]], as well as ''VideoGame/Yakuza0'' (as a throwback to the original), where Kiryu has to fend off waves of cars, motorcycles and helicopters full of gun-totting thugs while on a highway. Despite Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's attempts to improve the sequences, they're generally reviled by fans for their FakeDifficulty, which leaves them a rare oddity in the series. Even ''VideoGame/Yakuza2'''s equivalent highway fight turned out to be an over-the-top brawl atop several flatbed trucks, to players' audible sighs of relief.

Sometimes this will take the form of rival criminal gangs shooting and chasing each other, most often being GangBangers or TheMafia. This would also be related to GanglandDriveBy, usually when such an attempt goes wrong or as a form of retaliation or revenge by the rival criminal gang. These can also happen following an AssassinationAttempt, when the assassins are in the midst of their getaway from either their rival gangsters or the police.

*** One mission in Paris has a task force close in on some Russian terrorists and try to stop them from moving chemical bombs. The fight goes from a construction area to on wheels through a subway transit system, with our heroes just ''barely'' avoiding crashing into oncoming trains as they shoot at the terrorists.

This can play out in several different ways. A moving vehicle doesn't make a very steady firing platform (though combat vehicles with mounted gun turrets, such as {{tank|Goodness}}s, may use gyroscopic stabilizers to solve this), so a lot of [[ATeamFiring spraying and praying]] is going to take place. The shooters might attempt to shoot various [[AttackItsWeakPoint weak points]] of the vehicle: shooting out the tires or the engine (the latter is generally unrealistic with handgun rounds), trying to [[SnipingTheCockpit fire through the windshield and windows into the passenger compartment to incapacitate the driver]] (which can cause a DeadFootLeadfoot), or firing at the gas tank because EveryCarIsAPinto.
