Summary: If you feel homicidal...
Review: ...you should consult a psychiatrist. Carmageddon is perhaps the closest game to the ones the anti-violence groups decry. To say that it has questionable content is a gross understatement. There is blood, gore, and you get points for squashing people with your car. The language is vulgar and caustic. If you play this game to "blow off your steam" and you imagine your boss, or professor in place of one of the poor victims, I hope you don't live too close to me.However, if you play this game for the fun factor of high-risk driving rather than murderous instincts, you will discover a very potent racing game. The cars, parts, and other options are numerous and the objectives require great precision and accuracy. Try this game out if there is no one around who may be offended by the profanity your computer will spew into the air.

Summary: Excellent, but too hard near the end
Review: Carmageddon is an excellent display of software writing. There is tremendous attention to detail, everywhere from the twisting of metal on cars that you are running into, to the splatter of guts as you run over a pedestrian. It is perhaps the bloodiest game ever made because it mixes the reality of driving a car with the freedom of being able to do whatever you want when you are behind the wheel. If you want to hit an old lady with a walker at 100 mph while honking your horn to alert her so that she can cry out in fear with the realization of her impending doom--you have carte blanche my good man. It is an excellent catharsis, and I greatly recommend it. My only beef is with the third level of play. I can beat the first two levels but the time limits on the third level are too short to really have any fun. Other than that you will surely enjoy many hours of gory delight.

Summary: Hands down (on the keyboard) the best game ever
Review: I know. This is the best game ever. It's sequel can't even touch it. Tired of crashing the same way every time? Tired of being curbed when you try to run off the assigned track? Tired of running an unwinnable race against computer cars that can't be beat or beaten? Well WAKE UP! get Carmageddon! WHy is it so good, you ask? Physics Physics Physics, you crash determined by how you hit things, you MUST turn into that skid to regain control, blood makes your wheels slick, and yes, that light post can be brought down, but not without some work. Don't want to run the race? FINE, set your sights on the other drivers and KILL! The end of other games will come to anyone who plays this over a network. Sticking it to the computer is one thing, sticking it to another real player? heaven. Carmageddon will make you a better driver. I'm serious.

Summary: I blame this game fo failing high school! It's the BEST !!!
Review: I love this game. It's an underated arcade classic. And judging by the lack of reviews of it on this site, underappreciated. Maybe it was due to bad press. I know here in Australia they bad mouthed this on current affairs shows saying it encourage violence and road rage. Either that had a bipolar effect on the sales, I don't know, high or low??? Anyway this game made me fail high school because I kept on playing till the wee hours of the morning. Pure and simple - its a basic simple arcade classic with a simple concept and state of the art graphics. I love it, as without a doubt, it my favourite game of all time. Please make a PS2 version!

Summary: BEST DRIVING GAME THAT'S MORE THAN A DRIVING GAME
Review: Once you try it there's no need for Formula Metal Rally Cross 2K. Hands down the best driving game ever and by far, to this day, still the most entertaining game to play period. This sucker is old skool DOS and uses, essentially, arrow keys and the spacebar and STILL whips anything I've ever played! In fact, I seriously do not know how once you've played it, you could EVER play any of these crap driving sim games that feel like your car is made out of paper and steers like a baby carriage [an unfortunate problem with CARMA 2]. Just the feel of the cars is worth it, but beyond that, there's so much more -- wild powerups; earning the right to drive the cars you face; demolishing cops; and the pedestrian count is what warms a true gamer's heart after a stiff bout of road rage. But on the other hand, if you're used to Grand Moto Prix Rally Cross or whatever, about the ONLY thing I could tell you is that if your idea of driving games is shifting, thankfully CARMA has NONE of this. On the eve of this baby coming to N64/Play, just thought I'd set the record straight on the origins. [Man, I hope they don't screw up the best game ever too much.]

Summary: Great concept, horrible gameplay!!
Review: The concept of this game is amazing, why wouldn't it be fun!! But it would have been better if it wasn't actually racing while running over pedestrians, having to rush through the courses takes the fun out of the game. The worst thing about this game is the controls, the steering is the worst that I've ever had to play with. The car doesn't drive straight, it's always moving either left or right for some reason, it's very wobbly. I couldn't stand it, for that reason I don't think this game is worth buying, get a demo first and see how you like it, maybe with a joystick it's different. But with a keyboard it's horrible! You could easily find this game in the bargain bin, but don't expect alot out of it, it isn't that great.

Summary: Great game!
Review: This game is awesome! The graphics and sound effects are of good quality. The language is no worse than any other game rated "mature", and I did not find it offensive at all. Carmageddon provides a wonderful opportunity to release the stresses of everyday life and to ease the road rage that many of us feel after our daily commutes. I would highly recommend this game!
