A great outlet for frustrated drivers.

There is no real redeeming value to this game. It is simply a fun game to play. The graphics are good, the physics are decent, and there is a car to suit just about anyone. If you like racing games with a psychotic twist, you will love this game.

Vent your road rage!

This is by far one of the sickest games I have ever played. It is also probably the most fun. You are not only allowed to demolish the pedestrians along the race course, you are encouraged to do so as each one you destroy will bring you cash and more time to play. And after a particularly messy sequence you can pause, rewind and watch the carnage on instant replay from practically any angle. The physics in the game are super and ample cheats make the possibilties endless. I've been playing this game for over a year and I always come back to it when I want a fun hour or two of total gaming fun. If you liked Deathrace 2000 this game is for you.

The most bloody driving game ever...

This is without doubt the most violent and bloody driving game ever made. And I just love. There's nothing like driving through downtown on the sidewalk and trying to hit as many pedestrians as possible... if you think this sounds sick, then wait untill you played the game. It can not cuite be decribed.

Classic! More Fun Than Any Vacation!

You gotta love this game!

This is one of the most hilariously violent games I've played! With goodies like the opponent repulsificator and the solid-granite car, delight and laughter takes me over every time sit down to play Carmageddon 2.

Exploding pedestrians, pedestrian flame-throwers, the pedestrian electro-[...] ray... these are power-ups you can get in the game! Whether you turn your opponents into scrap metal or act a fool around the gigantic levels, the fun does not stop.

And the game has a way of scaring you. I recall being terrified at so many moments while playing this game.

Examples: Is that Hans Abba around the corner? Where is that vicious dump truck? My car is in awful shape and I can't find a repair power-up.

You can pop-wheelies and in certain cases go so fast that you can commit suicide. The game has incredible value because you can purchase your trashed opponents cars. If you get into it, you will feel the need to progress.

The game is about much more than destroying other cars. Some missions are wacky beyond belief. One I recall involves killing mental patients that have escaped from an asylum. That is one of the harder missions.

The game is long, there are plenty of missions, and if you don't feel like killing people, you can always race. This game is off-the wall. It's like combining Grand Theft Auto, Simpsons Road Rage, and Burnout 3. And it's over 5 years old!

This game is a classic. Let us not forget the kangraoo bounce power-up. Nor the low gravity mode. Nor the hand-brake... man I love the hand-brake. If you have the time, play this game until you get good enough to appreciate the madness within.

Oh yeah - the sound track is by Iron Maiden. This game is awesome!

Am I entirely twisted that I delight in running over pedestrians and receiving extra points for "piledriving" them? Or getting up on the sidewalk so I can hit two/three/four at a time and get bonus points? Or delight in driving my car off a roof and then repair it with the click of your backspace key? Maybe I'm a little twisted - but this game is FUN!

I agree with the critics - if you actually think this is something you'd want to attempt in real life - then stay away. But if you're like me - a safe driver who always obeys the rules - but delights in a game where you can slam other cars into light poles or run over pedestrians and growling Dobies - then give it a whirl. The realistic graphics make you feel like you're really in the action.

Hey I gotta run - my keyboard's calling me!

Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now

Carmageddon II is a great game if you like driving games, It's very exciting and gory. You can run over people, animals, crash on buildings. You can do lots cool stuff with the powerups. The levels and cars are very cool. The things the car does are quite unbelivable, It can destroy a truck but it's a lot of fun. It is a lot better than the first carmageddon. The graphics are just average. The controls are very difficult, It is a bit hard to drive the car but gets easy after some time. A beautiful game with lots of blood and gory and not for kids or the weak hearted.

Wanna knock over a street light? GO AHEAD!

This game is awesome. The main thing that I found amazing about it is that it is SO interactive... you can knock down street lights, drive absolutely everywhere, do nearly anything that you can think of doing with a car. Flap the doors... or wait... you don't want the doors? Ok, just ram the open doors into an object to tear them off. Squish some padestrians without the guilt... they're just zombies after all. Push another opponent into the ocean then hit the brakes real hard to stop yourself going in after him! This is the kinda stuff you'll never find in games like Need For Speed... there are no rules here, do whatever you want, and the best part is, you'll probably earn credits for it... Very original and a lot of fun...

Its disgusting and it should be banned. Thank God it ain't!!

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!
