Bash together frantic gameplay, meticulously cel shaded visuals that give this game it's cartoon look, highly interactive Looney Tunes environments, insane dog eat dog multiplay minus loading lags, and you've got an excellent sleeper hit with a god auful title for Xbox. At first, be prepared to get constantly run over, axed in half, blown to bits, or flapjack flattened by a bunch of maniacal cartoons inrubbery vehicles. But give it a chance. Once you get the hang of that plump Xbox controller, and figure out what's going on, Cel Damage gets to be a damn good time in no time. Everything's cel shaded down to the last tiny stick of lit dynamite, and works extremely well with the cartoony look. Cel's levels are some of the most interactive you've ever seen for a shooter racer, meaning suprises ranging from space warp tunnels to jungle vines you can swing on await you,as well as tons of level prop objects that react um, explode rather, When you've crashed through them. Vehicaland taunts to match, also add a lot of personality and humor. So what's not cool about Cel? Only three match types racing, deathmatch and capture the flag style play. Still, that may be plenty considering Cel's got two and four player splitscreen options, and lots of unlockable levels. So there you have it. My only other complaint? Cramping in my left hand from playing too much.

An Impressing Game

I got the first issue of the Xbox Magazine, and it came with a dvd that you can watch to see the making of Xbox and some previews of the games. When I went to check out Cel Damage, I thought of, and I'm not offending in any way, Eric0404's review, it said that this game was disappointing. I totally disagree with him, the only downfall in this game is that it's one of those Twisted Metal types of games, you go around and use weapons to destroy your enemy, that happens to be a person or thing driving a car. But I can't just say that, infact, I love the cartoonish graphics. Just like in the Simpson's Road Rage game coming out for Xbox. I also have to say that you can get a large aray of weapons, including Bombs, An Axe, Machine Guns, and a whole bunch of destructive weapons. Not only is this game for all ages, it's fun to play with the family on a holiday or just for a family night. Well, I hope that this review helped you all out, it did for me. I am also going to get this game. Find more about me in my Know More About Me area.

"hey, i'm a pee-wee!"

i said these words after 't-wrecks' hit me in the swamp battle with his shrink ray, and my 8 year old fell off the couch laughing. so did i. i've never had so much fun getting the bejeesus smacked out of me. but it wasn't long until i started doing a little smacking myself.

yeah i'm 40 years old and yeah the pace for this cartoon is manic, but it's a crackup all the same. for all you fogies out there, if you can type 40 words per minute, then you've got all the fast twitch muscles you need for this video game. even if you can't there are also weapons for stealth and ambush. but most of all, you're just going to bust up laughing. if you grew up with bugs bunny, this is *your* kind of cartoon.

the environments are great fun too. there are transporters and tornados that whip you silly from one end to the other for a quick escape. all of cartoon physics are in full effect here. you hover in mid-air for a moment, then fall off the cliff. the weapons are hilarity themselves. the boxing gloves are fun, but i really like the harpoon's effect. still, nothing beats a huge hammer.

i dont' think i'll soon tire of this one. even when you sit around and get whacked it's hilarious. i'm really glad that the snarky remarks made by the characters are PG rated. for a while, i wanted them to be more harsh, but on the whole i'm glad they aren't.

smashing fun!!

Insane and insanely fun

If you like cartoons, get this

If you like party games, get this

If you like games with a lot to unlock, get this

If you like 'wierd' games and offbeat humor, get this

If you have an Xbox, get this

If you don't have an Xbox, get one. Then see my previous point. :)

This game is very fun, and not at all like the Twisted Metal series. Imagine filtering Wile E. Coyote going on an acme shopping spree. That is this game. Every single cartoon cliche is rendered in absolutely gorgeous cel shading. Everything from the weapons to the environments to the characters and even the movement of their cars! As you take a sharp turn, you'll notice your car bend, just like in the toons.

One thing I've noticed is that people who liked Twisted Metal don't tend to like this... Perhaps they're expecting something else, because this is an extremely fast paced game where 90% of the weapons are one-hit kills. But it's not cheap. Kills don't win, points do. Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like driving up to someone's side and hammering them into the wall with a pair of boxing gloves, or launching them accross the arena with a harpoon.

An awesome price for an awesome game. Get it.

Played this game at a Wal-Mart

Ok I stopped a few minutes at wal-mart and tried to play this sucker..

I must admit it was very additive. I was just going to blow up a few cars but wound up standing there for 20 minutes hacking,punching and blowing up competition. I do not know the long term playability but I found the cartoon graphics fluid and humerous. It has immidiate FUN potential but agian long term I do not know. I do own a PS2 and would say that the graphics so far are definitely on par with my PS2 but I didnt see anything that would make me jump ship to the XBOX. That may change as games develope. Folks its all about the games and after 1 year PS2 games are just now getting up to speed. As consoles get more complex and better graphics it takes awhile to release quality games for those. I think the XBOX has excellent potential so long as the game developers support it.

Great mindless violence

Game magazines may critizize this game because of its graphics or its depth. Two words: don't listen. This game is extremely fun. The graphics were ment to be cartoony, since the game is sort of like cartoon game show. The game was designed to be cel-shaded (hence the name "Cel Damage"). Plus, graphics don't really matter when a game is this fun.

You play through 12 challenging levels. To unlock them all you have to chop, smack, blow up, and shoot your way to the top. It's really an all-out smash fest, which makes it fun. It's like Twisted Metal, only cel-shaded. Some weapons include axes, grenades, chainsaws, meat grinders (vacum thingies), homing misiles, portable holes, and more. The main characters are: a devil who isn't house trained, a really ugly lady vampire, a girl with a disease slowly killing her, a construction worker, a really big nerd, and a duck out of a 30's action movie. This game is actually quite challenging, too.

This is no kid's game. The cover looks like cartoons, but it's realy cartoons killing each other. This is a fun game for adults, teens, and some kids. The game is challenging - the first times you play it you'll come in last in everything, but then as you get better, you can win and unlock levels and stuff.

You can get it really cheap, so I would buy it right now if I were you.

Tons of Fun!

Cel Damage takes the graphical cel shading stylings from Jet Grind Radio on the DC and brings it to the next level. Tons of weapons that include all the cartoon stylings you could wish for.
When you hit an opponent with a sledge, they go flat; when you hit with a giant ax, they are cleaved in two; you spike them with your Giant Nail Gun and they're jammed into the ground bouncing back and forth.
The game is a blast with tons of replay value. It's great to battle your friends in. And since it's only cartoon violence(Warner Bros. Style), it's fun for the whole family.

Great Game!! Extremely fun!! Unique!!

Haven't liked a "racing/vehicle" game this much since Mario Kart. Game is challenging at first, but once you get a hang of the weapons its a blast! Its not a game that you concquer and never play again. My friends and I play every Sunday for hours! I love the cartoon graphics, sound effects are amazing and the characters have unique attitudes and their own special weapon. Love the gameplay, the style, every board is exciting, extremely fun weapons, its just a fun game all around. The load times are nonexistant! I recommend this game to gammers of all levels. I give it FIVE STARS!

GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is cool, it has excellent graphics and gameplay that lasts forever, I recommend it to any one that wants to have a great laugh with or without friends. The only thing thats kind of dissapointing is the difficulty, specialy for children, but if you are good at car combat games be prepared for a great experience!!!!!
