Sometimes game makers want to show how epic a battle is by having the arena you're fighting in slowly falling apart as enemies (or you) launch attacks or get tossed around. Sometimes they want to show off their awesome physics engine, and sometimes... sometimes they just think being able to blow everything up is really, really cool. Enter the Everything-Is-Smashable Area, a location where environmental and structural objects can be shot, smashed, or blown apart just as easily as the mooks guarding them. Usually, this is done for the purposes of collecting points or items, but occasionally destroying objects or walls en masse is necessary to progress or, in more cathartic instances, the whole point of the game. Many games that advertise themselves as featuring destructible scenery will have a few of these and make sure they're prominently featured in the trailer. The rest of the game? Not so much.

Downplayed in Kingdom Hearts II. There's a minigame wherein you have a room full of boxes to smash, but you have to be strategic about it in order to get any sort of reward. | |

More or less the entire point of Space Invaders Get Even: Every destroyed building and enemy increases your timer by varying amounts, which also doubles as your lifebar. As might be expected, abducting cows and visiting Stonehenges (yes, it's a plural, for whatever reason there's one in pretty much single level) increase it the most. | |

The Overlord series of games allows you and your ravenous horde of gremlins to smash just about any and every inanimate object aside from trees, bushes and rocks. In fact, doing so is often necessary to find treasure. Plus commanding a ravenous horde of gremlins to tear apart a tranquil village including burning down the houses is immensely entertaining. | |

Later on in the game, in Serious Sam III BFE, you go through some Egyptian ruins where all the pillars, archways and most of the walls are destructable. Very fun with crates full of infinite rocket launcher ammo and C4. | |

Overwatch supplies a large amount of environmental objects per map that serve no purpose other than to look pretty and get destroyed by being shot at. On almost every attack/defense map, the first attack-side spawn rooms contain plenty of destructibles since players have to wait for the 60-second setup time and won't really have much to do anyway. Special examples include Hanamura (an arcade with plenty of machines to smash up) and Junkertown (which includes Roadhog's bike, which you can blast apart to pieces like a Street Fighter II bonus level). | |

Most of The Force Unleashed is like this, until the Disappointing Last Level. The Kashyyyk prologue is especially notable, though, crammed full of trees you can cut down with your lightsaber and throw around with the force, and grass that ripples as you blow things over it. Also Wookiee-tossing. | |

In The Matrix: Path of Neo in most levels you can punch, kick or throw enemies into walls to smash them. You don't get anything for it, it's just fun to do. Plus in the courtyard battle with the Smiths you have to complete destroy all the nearby buildings to end the fight. |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: The storehouse just outside of Hyrule Castle Town in child Link's time. An NPC in the room hangs a lampshade on it by mentioning how Link can "let off some steam" by destroying the jars. You can maneuver the final boss into smashing the various bits of rubble around his arena, releasing item pickups for you. Handy. |

Left 4 Dead 2's Swamp Fever had a level where the survivors must make their way across a rickety, highly destructible bridge. The structure is slowly chipped away at by gunfire and zombie attacks, and god help you if you throw a Molotov. Lots of fun on Versus on the zombie team. | |

The main way of getting studs in almost every LEGO Adaptation Game is to attack stuff made of LEGO bricks. It's also the best way of handling puzzles. When in doubt, attack the scenery! The bonus levels are made entirely of LEGO and thus almost entirely destructible. | |

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle has the room where you fight Matt Helms. In it, almost literally the only things you can't break are the floors and the walls. There is, however, one wall in the corner that's indestructible, creating a pocket. Helms is smart enough to herd you into this pocket, so be careful. | |

The boss fight against the King of Toys in Kingdom Hearts III takes place in a "city" of buildings made from blocks. The tallest will tip over just from Sora running up the sides while the boss's tendency to stay low to the ground as it moves causes blocks to fly everywhere. The boss's Tornado Move even sends all the blocks flying off the edges of the battlefield, after which they reset to an intact state so they can be flung about all over again. | |
