Summary: 5 Stars
I liked this game cause I could kill people with out getting into trouble. This game helped get a grip on reality and killing things and such. This game releases my anger on the world by BLOWING THINGS UP!!!!!!!!! I also liked how the people scream when you run them over, and over, and over, and over, and over!!!!!!!!!And killing the dogs............lolCustomer Review: Its disgusting and it should be banned. Thank God it ain't!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Pure evil. Pure violence. Pure carnage. And I love it!The graphics engine may be old but it still looks sexy despite its age. The powerups are hilairious, the levels are very well designed, the new cars are really good. Just in case you don't know (although you bloody well should by now) Carmageddon is a violent "racing game" where you have to complete a certain amount of race tracks and "Drive To Survive"! You can complete a race course by trashing other cars (driving into them a la Destruction Derby - although they do it to you to!), running over pedestrians or actually completing the track (boring!). Its fairly open ended, you don't stick to a rigid track.
It improves on the original due to better race courses, far superior graphics, way more power-ups, much better AI, extra missions where you do something a little more constructive (it certainly gives a bit more variety) and this is well worth the hard-earned cash you have to pay for it.
There are few complaints though:-
In the original there was a "Prat cam" which showed the face of the driver and was damn funny when he started yelling out profanities due to the fact that he was flying through the air upside down. They should have kept this in.
You have to buy the "armour", "power" (better engine) and "offensive" (like studs at the front of the car) stuff on the road. The satisfaction of saving your cash in order to buy that stuff at the end of the race is now left out. Also you have to buy opponents cars instead of winning them. I really don't like that.
The peds don't always die with a satisfying squelch like they did in the original either. Oh, and the camera still messes around a bit. Play it and you'll see what I mean.
Generally though, this is excellent. Pick it up pronto!
Customer Review: Yes I had ordered this game but did not com (Antwaine pride)
Summary: 5 Stars
I had ordered this game but it did not come Antwaine Pride.Why didn,t my package come*Customer Review: Almost as fun as killing innocent people.. wait..
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't played the original Carmageddon so I can't judge if there have been any vast improvements. What I do know is that this is tons of fun. You go around and either try to win the race, destroy your other opponents, or kill lots of innocent people. After 3 races you have to do a time trial mission which can be fun and irritating at the same time. As you win more races and missions, you get "credits" which allow you to buy bigger and better cars. There are tons of fun extras in each race that make the innocents do different things. Sure, it's violent but I'd rather have people doing it on a computer monitor than in our streets. If any parents feel the need to censor their children, this is the last game you would want to buy them. Very bloody, very fun. Pick this one up!Customer Review: Have you ever been guilty of "Road Rage?"
Summary: 5 Stars
I know that I have been guilty, on occasion, of poor driving etiquette, haven't we all? CARMAGEDDON 2 is a primer in the fine art of road rage. Think of it as cathartic, do what you will within this fine, gory game. Your desires to do the same on the roadways of reality MUST, of neccessity, remain unfulfilled.Similar to the original CARMAGEDDON except with better graphics, the victims are polygonal models instead of sprites, there's tons more carnage to be wrested from the CARMAGEDDON universe this time around.
Most of the cast of regular drivers are back, with a few new crazies to round out the crew. Vehicle upgrades are made whilst on the fly, instead of thru a separate menu as in the original. The cars Eagle & Hawk have returned along with a bevy of new killers. Look for the Volvo mining loader, a humongous yellow truck used to haul boulders. There's even a WWII Stuka dive bomber piloted/driven by looney Heinz Faust from the first game.
Many scenarios are included: A Disney-esque funfair, replete with clowns, circus strongmen and elephants. A modern airport; bonus points if you can manage to wreck the jumbo jet...the trick seems to be jumping your vehicle upon the wing during takeoff.
One minor beef, there's no onscreen camera shot of the driver's glee as in the first game. I really missed seeing Die Anna squeal with joy each time she squashed a victim. Her sick peals of rapture in the first CARMAGEDDON are very remniscent of Xenia Onatopp from the Bond film, Goldeneye. This aside, CARMAGEDDON 2 is a worthy sequel and a hell of a lot of fun for my [$]. I can't wait for the third installment!
