Forklift Gaming

Games where you can drive a forklift. That's it. I know there are some forklift simulators out there, but it wouldn't be so fun if I filled the list with those. Since I couldn't find much information on the subject, suggestions are heavily appreciated.

Alone in the Dark

You can drive a forklift at one moment in this game.
Battlefield 2: Special Forces

You can drive a forklift in this very specific expansion of Battlefield 2, on a map called Leviathan.

Thanks to @Moister.

Yeah, you can drive a forklift as well as some other heavy machinery used for construction. Probably the only fun thing on this game.

An overlooked masterpiece. I mean, in how many games you get to be the forklift and have some forklift adventures?

Thanks to @Detchibe

You can drive a forklift WITH THE POWER OF MODS!!! (or I think so) Turns out I was right all along! SligWolf is a real one.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

You can drive a forklift in that one mission whose name I forgot. Tho I suppose you can at any moment. If Ryder saying "Weekend soldiers, man!" rings a bell, it's that one.

Not even point-and-click games can escape some forklift action. Here's a clip, but BE AWARE: this might be spoiler for a puzzle.

Thanks to @Drax.
Halo: Reach

Not even in a sci-fi future humans have created new technology to move heavy objects around. Forklifts are immortal. Apparently there are forklifts in a lot of halo games so here's a list. Also, here's a picture of the cover art for the game that replaces Noble Team with a forklift, truly epic. And also a clip, check it out.

You can drive a forklift in the first level of this game.

Thanks to @Moister.

You can drive a forklift in that heist where you steal nuclear warheads for Vlad. I think you could drive forklifts in some other heists.
Shenmue
Shenmue
There are moments in the game where you'll drive a forklift in races.

Thanks to @Moister for that one. And @HylianBran for a correction.
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing

Ryo from Shenmue comes back with even more forklift gaming, if you ever need more of it.

Thanks to @Vee.

I almost forgot about this. There's a puzzle where one of the two characters needs to drive a forklift while the other guides the driver.

There's a forklift somewhere in this game. Just trust me, ok?

A WWE game?!?! WITH A FORKLIFT?!?! Aw man, I seriously need to play this right now. It's located on the parking garage in the backstage area. I found this GameFAQs guide if you're interested.

Thanks to @Vee.
Yakuza: Dead Souls

I know next to nothing about this particular game, but I found this clip online, so check it out. It shows Forklift Gaming in all of its glory.

Thanks to @Moister.

@Moister @Vee @Drax Thanks for all the suggestions! Added all of them ty so much! :D

Now I want to play that WWE game so hard, like seriously did they even need to include a forklift in a wrestling game? It's the most random thing ever, but now I need to check that out.

fyi, the forklift in Shenmue isn't some "side mission," it is a significant portion of the back half of the game.

@HylianBran Sorry with that, Shenmue is a game I'm yet to play and I wrote that from memory, I've updated it, thanks.

@paqgamer_ better be sorry, I take forklift game misinformation very seriously. If it were my choice, that mistake would've cost you your life

Lmao, clicked on this wondering if Forklift was some new gaming slang I didn't know only to realize you were being literal.

@Moister Added it. Japanese people are the only ones that can come up with something as wacky as a Construction Vehicles fighting game.

@HylianBran I've sent an apology letter to The Forklift Council, I'm really sorry this error took place, please don't send a Forklift Death Squad after me.

@RedBackLoggd I was disappointed nobody had already made a "Forklifts in games" list yet. This is an important matter, why hasn't anybody realized that! The world needs to know the games that have driveable forklifts.

LOL, when I think Forklifts I always remember that scene in The Office where Michael knocks down all those shelves.

no forklift load..

@poyfuh I've read the review you put out and you totally sold me the game, I wish I had a PS3 to play it!!

@Detchibe Thought it was another forklift sim, and normally I wouldn't include due to it being a game about literally being a forklift, but the premise seems so wacky I'll include it in anyway.
