It's quite satisfying to create headon automotive destruction and see your opponent's car steadily reduced to a hobbling cacaphony of polygons. I found the most fun in ditching the race-loop and attacking other cars it's a bit like jousting.
Smash your car through the large windows that office building and drive up stairs to the second floor, scattering and smashing employees just before you exit through another window to land on a foe or a gaggle of terrified onlookers below (perhaps earning a "cunning stunt" bonus).Įach game is ostensibly a "race" around a "track." There is a time limit that is extended every time you complete a lap-portion, succesfully injure your peers, or attack an innocent bystander. In most driving games, there's a predominant static background: buildings are impermeable blocks and if you drive through the outdoors long enough you run into a wall of nature! In Carmageddon 2, if there's a building, there's a good chance you can drive into it. The driving interface is easy enough, and it's fun to bash your car into people, buildings, other cars the audio feedback, sounds of breaking glass and crunching metal, are excellent. In this mileu of death, destruction, mayhem and utter disregard, perhaps encouraged by it, there's a exhilarating load of good gaming.
This is the darkest game i've played to date, not in the least bit afraid to be offensive, sociopathic and obnoxious. There are extra points for shredding pedestrians under your tyres, or crushing bodies against buildings or landmarks.
This abominable behaviour is accompanied by a grisly combination of sound effects: agonized screams, squishing flesh and your revving motor. You see old people, pregnant women, teenagers, construction workers, and business men flee from your big red hot rod just before you crush them beneath your mighty wheels. You drive an armed racecar and the more you splatter and creatively mangle pedestrian bodies, the more points you recieve.Ĭarmageddon 2 offers similar opportunities for ruthless anti-social driving as Grand Theft Auto, in first person perspective.
Carmageddon 2 supports a single player mode through a series of boards and missions, as well as malicious multiplayer madness.Ĭarmageddon 2: "Carpocalypse Now" is a most unabashedly twisted game. Beat them and buy their car, and you can drive it in the next race. Each of your opponents is armed with their own particular wheeled killing machine including forklifts, hotrods, dune buggies and elegant old sportsters.
Earn points to upgrade your killing machine by squishing pedestrians and attacking your fellow racers. First person perspective and strong 3d graphics, coupled with literally killer sound effects make for a giddy sociopathic simulation experience. Race through cities, quarries and forests in a car souped up for death. Watch overshare: the story contact me Carmageddon 2 Justin Hall's personal site growing & breaking down since 1994
