    I hate the fact that I hate this port, not the game, just this port. Now-a-days HD remakes of old games are rather common and its always nice to see a game I loved as a kid get an update. Cel Damage was one of my favorite games on the game cube so I was excited to finally get to play it again, but Cel Damage HD makes me wish this game remained entombed in memory.

Now-a-days HD remakes of old games are rather common and its always nice to see a game I loved as a kid get an update. Cel Damage was one of my favorite games on the game cube so I was excited to finally get to play it again, but Cel Damage HD makes me wish this game remained entombed in memory. It would have been fine if they had just updated the graphics but this port makes an attempt to change and innovate in various unwelcome ways. First, and most annoying is the replacement of several sound bytes with a loud obnoxious menu sound. Countdown sounds, items, and even death sounds where the character that killed you would mock you humorously have all been replaced by this noise, destroying much of the games comedic personality that made it such a gem in the first place. More changes include your character's voice comes from the controller and the addition of health bars that slow the pace of the game from the high speed insta-death fun of its past to a slow and frustrating slog. All of this would be alright if it wasn't for the fact that you cant turn any of it off, the ability to select weapons for use in the match is nice but it seems the more useful options are unsatisfying absent. This game is a shell of its former self, an annoying and depressing case of misplaced potential. Sometimes even good games should stay buried.… Expand

    No character differentiation, the lack of arenas, the frustrating gameplay, inconsistency of AI and the unheard of lack of online for a car game makes this game feel incomplete. After about three hours you may never pick this game up again, unless you have a game night with friends.

    A competent HD upgrade, nothing more, nothing less.

    This is fun for an evening if you’ve got some buddies nearby, but without an online option and with a pretty tiring cast, you’ll quickly tire of this comic book clash.
