    Carmageddon is the '97 classic given just enough of a tweaking to make it feel at home on the iOS platform - there are still some quirks left over from the original, but smashing your way through pedestrians and vehicles alike makes for a disturbingly fun distraction.

    Carmageddon may have lost its sheen along with its controversial edge, but it's lost none of its schlocky, multilayered charm.

    I have no recollection of how the original game progressed - I mainly just remember the moment-to-moment glee of splattering pedestrians - but this iOS version is a series of unlockable levels, a collection of unlockable cars, a garage full of car upgrades, and variable goals for each level. If that's not enough, leaderboards, achievements, and challenges are all supported on Gamecenter. In other words, a whole lot of incentive to drive, smash, and splatter.

    Carmageddon may not live up to its glory days of the past, but these old cars still have a lot of fight left in them.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. This is a great game for everyone who likes the series! Even though before I played mainly Carmageddon 2, I enjoyed very much this one on the phone! Brings me back years ago. I find the controls fine. For whoever is interested, be aware, a new Carmageddon will be coming soon for the PC … Full Review »

The gameplay in this is incredible, just like it was so long ago - I had so much fun with this series while back, that being able to play the first one on my smartphone is just one of the things that make me happy. I highly recommend this game to anyone, who wants to check how many barriers in games, both ethical and gameplay-wise, were able to be broken back in a day. This is an expression of pure freedom of mind, that Stainless games represent. And the feeling of people and cows running away from you with screaming, the thrill of going head on with your enemy is there again! As sick as it is, it's also extremely fun, and the weird powerups that you can collect along the way makes it clear that this is not realistic, so it's not only for sociopaths. I love that game, and if you'd approach it with an open mind, you'd love it too. You can always search for 'Carma Free' to check out the demo. It's worth it!… Full Review »
