   I've been playing this game extensively for 90+ hours and there's still plenty to play.
   Before i go into pros and cons, i have to add thatI've been playing this game extensively for 90+ hours and there's still plenty to play.
   Before i go into pros and cons, i have to add that Carmageddon Reincarnation, although gone out of BETA and into GOLD, is not yet the complete experience.
   What do i mean?
   It is known that the developers are working on many, new, never-before seen in Carmageddon games features such as 2-wheeled tech, Tracked Wheel tech (the ability to add tanks in game :D), new maps, cars and car splitting.
   Also being a small/medium sized studio the amount of work, they achieved in creating their own Graphics Engine (no Unity, Unreal or Source here, since it was decided in 2012 before those went free) crushing bugs and dedication is phenomenal. Key features like Pinball mode, used to be huge CPU eaters (rightfully so), but not anymore! Each event in Single Player runs pretty smooth!
   By the way here's my performance report :
   
   Game runs good on 1080p Medium Settings on a 2012 PC. i5-3470 , 8GB RAM , GTX 750Ti, Samsung SSD 120GB. "Runs great" means 40-70 FPS on all times. And it is great since anything above 35FPS is enjoyable. 25-35 FPS is playable. Minor FPS drops only in Multiplayer. Single Player is great!
   
   I played the newest build (Gold Version) for a few hours and here's what i have to say for the v.1.0 and the game in general
   
   Pros
   -Awesome sandbox maps and gameplay full of unexpected outcomes.
   -One of the most detailed crushing code/physics i've ever seen in a car/driving game
   -Great car models! Each car is unique with it's own parts (moving or not) and drives differently.
   -Sounds and animations are hilariously stupid! Cow sounds for example always give me a good chuckle.
   -Enemy car AI has improved A LOT since Alpha! I was amazed at the preciseness of the whole thing. If i'm allowed to post videos in reviews to showcase this, i will.
   -The performance is good and smooth now on a 2012 PC rig.
   - There are some pretty eye-catching and innovative features like tires blowing off and popping out, and the suspension system is exemplary. Not many games can brag about such detailed stuff.
   
   Cons
   -Although i never go went lower than 30FPS on 1080p mostly on medium settings, and the range is 30-70 FPS, the game could still be optimized a bit more. I don't consider it an "unoptimized mess" by any means, but the truth is it needs a bit more smoothing out.
   -One map feels visually empty (Icy Oil Rig).
   -Receiving and giving damage on Hard Difficulty is insane. That might or might not be a case with you (may other people found it pretty easy), but i was getting wrecked all the time and the damage i dealt to others was not satisfactory. On lower difficulty modes it's much better.
   
   Overall this game has the best combination of physics, fun and gameplay from all the latest driving games. Should you like Car Mayhem games i recommend this.
   If you're a fan of the first Carmageddon games i can't even describe how much you'll love this game.
   
   Taking into consideration that Stainless is not by any means an AAA studio in terms of size, i'll have to give this one a 10.… Expand

At last it's available and is great. Gameplay is awesome and fun. MP rocks! Game was made to be fun and it does it perfectly!!!
   I have 2 years old laptop (i5, Radeon 7000 series (1GB), 8GB RAM) and it runs avg. 20fps on medium. For me this is perfect. I don't need 60fps.
   I gave 8, not 10 only because there are happening occasional crashes what should change in nearest future after patches.
   If you like fun games and you don't bother about fps this is game for you! :)… Expand

It really feels like it's Duke Nukem Forever, what I'd say is the game's fine for a Kickstarter project, but I'll be giving a high score like that because of the nostalgia and waiting almost 2 decades (about 1.5 decades to be sure) is a shame for what it look like, otherwises I'd give the game a 6/10, and yes, the game needs to be fixed. This is somehow Carmageddon TDR 2000 with better graphics... such a disappointment... I should add one thing, the "final release" is identical to the beta, I did not saw a single thing to be changed...… Expand

   screen freezing and loading time, this one is real garbage and it's not for nothing that they tried to do max damage but some problems still persist
