I used to play demolition racer on a friends Playstation and thought it was great especially in two player mode. So I'm really glad they've put it onto the Dreamcast. The graphics are vastly improved and there is NO slowdown even in two player mode! I'm not much of a racing 'simulator' fan, so I like that with Demolition Racer you can get up to full speed smash into someone and recover really quickly so you're always in the thick of the action. One of the new aditions is 'pickups', which really adds tactics to the gameplay. There's been loads of times where I've almost been dead, preying that I can find an armor or shield pickup before someone smashes into me. There's also loads of game modes, cars, and sub-games to unlock so it should be quite a while before it's completed. If you want a different kind of racer, buy this game!

Extremely Addictive

We tend to like the driving games best, and this one is at the top! Terrific graphics, exceptional soundtrack and really fun game play. Still have to try it with the racing wheel, though. Personally, we like it even better than Crazy Taxi. You can satisy your road rage impulses in both, but this one gives you the satisfaction of destroying others on the road - you'll see the smoke and fire coming out of your competitors, and nothing satisfies like a good t-bone or even landing right on top for an instant kill! (Yes, we are adults) A must have!

The Best Game Around

Do You Like Cars? Thought So. Do You Like Destroying Them?

Thought so, too. This game is the ultimate stress reliever. If you're under a lot of pressure, is there anything more gratifying than destroying hordes of cars? Not unless they create a game where you can strap dolls to firecrackers.

The graphics are great, but not incredible. It's no Gran Turismo 3, but it's still pretty, with a good framerate to boot.

The soundtrack is ho-hum. At least it keeps the action going.

You'll keep wanting to come back and play it. Thank you, I'm done. Buy and destroy, friend. Buy and destroy.

We probably have 10 different racing games, and over the last two months we've played this one more than any other. Most games you just hold the gas down, try to stay off the wall and that's it. This one your not only trying to win but also see how much damage you can do to the other cars along the way (winning = race position + damage points). It's a real hoot! Usually racing against 12 cars, some races are easy, some real tough. Graphics are great--sides caved in, windshields shattered, hoods flying off, etc. Lots of cars, unlimited color variations, large selection of logos. Try it, you like it.

I loved it

When I got Demolition Racer for Christmas I didn't know if I would like it or not, but as I played it more and more I enjoyed it more and more. My 4 year old brother loved watching the cars crash and then special effects and the sound. In fact, I am buying it again because it was scratched.

Awsome

This game is really cool because it is intense racing and if you like destruction this is it in the arena you can bash and smash all you want it is awsome.BUT BE WARNED THE ARENA'S ARE KIND OF HARD TO SEE ON PROJECTION TV.But if you are chillin with your friends at night turn off the lights and ROCK ON!!!!!

Demolition Racer rocked my socks. I bought it originally thinking it was from the creators of the Destruction Derby games, (A good series in its own right), but it is different. (Unlike the Demolition Derby titles, you only score crashes made with the front of your car.) Demolition Racer is more of an independent title with its own flavor and excitement.

There are MANY play modes to choose from, including 2 player modes. From standard arena-style destruction derbies to flat out racing. The main mode will score you on your final racing position and crash score. There is a fair bit of strategy to this mode, as you must crash often, place high, and manage to survive to the end. There are several fun and strange mini-games to unlock as well.

The unique game play is the best part of Demolition Racer, but there are some other big highlights. This game has polished graphics, a variety of customization options, plenty of levels, and a decent soundtrack comprised of heavy metal and electronica.

My only critiques would be on the soundtrack and the physics engine. Some of the music isn't on the par with the rest of the collection, and the music is always set on random for every race. So you might have to race with something annoying instead of an awesome Fear Factory remix. The physics...can unpredictably send your car to its doom too early.
