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

Summary: A DRIVING GAME FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE DRIVING GAMES
Review: The biggest complaint that I've heard about driving games is that you have to stay on the track, go to the checkpoint, do your four laps, try not and hit anybody. Booooooring. But in Carmageddon II, it's different. You have a HUGE city to run around in, lots of pedestrians who just love to jaywalk, lots of power-ups, and other fun stuff like that. My only complaint for this game would be that the demo level--which is all I have, but it's enough, for the time being--and possibly the game itself, doesn't have enough cars. Like I said, the levels are huge, but after wasting about everybody, it becomes a real bug-hunt to try and find you opponent. Aside from that this game is great. The physics are most impressive, as are the graphics and gameplay. Bear in mind that this game is rated M for Mature. If you don't like the violence, don't buy it. Duh.

Summary: A great outlet for frustrated drivers.
Review: 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.

Summary: Great concept, but something went wrong.
Review: This game is awesome, I'm surprised that a certain big shot lawyer and enraged parents haven't rained down on this game and the Interplay. The game features a number of "evil" cars which you'll eventually get to drive as you earn them by smashing them into pieces. The old rules of original CarmaGeddon simply don't apply here. Smashing the cars often won't kill them but destroy yourself instead. Instead you'll have to employ using your car along with shoving your enemies into land mines, off of cliffs, into walls, etc. etc. The body count is much much higher than the old CarmaGeddon, sometimes as many as 4 times more people to crush, maim, burn, drown, splatter, and bounce on each level. And yet. . . There is something wrong with this formula. The crucial thing is how the player advances through the game. CarmaGeddon simply let the player advance each level one at a time, with the option to replay the last 5 or 6 levels. This method is especially useful if the player likes a particular level or needs to increase money or to grab a certain car. CarmaGeddon 2 groups three levels and a final level into group. The player is forced to only play within these four levels and to defeat the fourth one before advancing to the next one. It's this fourth level in each group that cripples the game. Instead of Destroying the opponents, or killing all pedestrians, or completing all the laps, the game forces the player to ONE goal and to complete this goal. Sometimes, this goal seems near impossible. For example, one level requires the player to destroy all satellite towers within a very specific time frame. I managed to defeat the level with just barely 1 second to spare, after several tries. Another requires the player to nail a massive dump truck (One tire alone is bigger than your own car!), this is difficult to manage at best. I managed to do it by finding land mines and mine "dropping" ability (edited for G rating) and luring that yellow monster into them. Interplay really should have kept the same formula found in CarmaGeddon. Despite the problems, this game is rather fun, especially if you're a driver in nasty city. It's a nice way to let your aggressions out with out actually killing real pedestrians.

Summary: Wanna knock over a street light? GO AHEAD!
Review: 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...

Summary: Not for the faint of heart
Review: This game is full of blood, guts, and destruction. If you're squeamish, if you're really young, then this game is *not* for you. Are you somebody who would relish running over people in real life? Then it's also not for you. However, if you're somebody who, when out on the open road, just wishes that you could do something about the problem of stupid drivers/pedestrians, this game is loads of fun. You must be able to separate fiction from reality, though. You will probably never find a safer, more cautious driver than me, but this game lets the player let loose. The game is extremely gruesome, with flying limbs everywhere as you run through crowds of people. Pieces of the other race cars fly off as you crunch into them. Every pedestrian or opponent car hit gives you credits and time added onto the game clock. The object is to finish the race by going through all the checkpoints the appropriate number of times (yeah, right!), run over all the pedestrians (very hard to do, especially on some of the bigger levels where there are over 1400 of them), or "waste" all your opponents. You waste your opponents by running into them, running them into other objects, etc. It's a good thing that they can't repair like you can, though, or it would never end. There's nothing funnier then watching a car that's down to 1% health, all twisted and wrecked, go around in circles because it doesn't even have all four tires on the road. The different locales in the game really make this game a visual treat. There's the Canadian northwest (with even Mounties!), a ski resort, a carnival, nuclear power plant, and many more. The assortment of opponent cars is also very nice, though some of them can be *really* annoying to try and waste (such as the plane). The locales are much better than the first Carmageddon. The graphics are, too. In the first game, running over "peds" would just result in a gooey mass, but in this game, limbs go flying, bodies go flying, sometimes even heads. The other improvement is the fact that you can get wasted. In the first game, you couldn't. In this one, you have to be careful. If you hit a wall too hard, or let one of those Mac trucks run you into a wall, you *will* be wasted and have to start the race over. One downside is the lack of cops. Except for one level, where the object is to waste 12 cop cars, there are no cops interfering in the races. I thought they added a nice touch to the first game, where they provided a random element to the race and the other drivers. They were almost tanks, and nothing was more satisfying then getting a "solid granite car" powerup and wasting one of them. You could also push them off cliffs, etc. The other downside is the lack of vocals. We got a real kick out of the female persona's "That had to hurt" and such in the first game, but in this game, there is none of that. It takes away a bit of the fun. But make no mistake, this is a great game, as long as you have the stomach and temperament for it. It's not for the squeamish. It's not for kids. But if you can handle it, you'll have a blast.

Summary: Vent your road rage!
Review: 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.

Summary: The most bloody driving game ever...
Review: 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.
