    Making a new game that’s so much like the original — right down to the borderline excessive load times — was a terrible decision.

    Carmageddon: Max Damage is another in an increasingly long list of games and products that sound amazing, get crowdfunded and then fail to impress or deliver on their promised grandeur.

    In short, if you're not a fan, steer well clear of this one.

    Carmageddon: Max Damage could have been fun, but low production values, terrible controls, spastic AI and a general lack of care make it an easy pass.

    This series reboot fails to replicate the cleanness of the original games' racing mechanics.

The humour is just as great as the original and is refreshing to see amongst the tripe which is released upon mass at present. All we need now is a decent Duke Nukem games and I'll be a happy clappy chappy.… Full Review »

    It is just like the old ones. so totally offensive that no morally correct person would live longer than 5 minutes before heart failureIt is just like the old ones. so totally offensive that no morally correct person would live longer than 5 minutes before heart failure kicked in and they exploded in the most satisfying way. It does everything a carmageddon game should do and more. Nostalgia or not its bloody good.… Full Review »

The powerups can be fun and I was amused at throwing anvils from my car at the other racers as well as some of the others but there is a risk/ reward aspect as the powerups are random and you may pick up a power down or a powerup that affects the pedestrians. The unlock tokens allow you to upgrade your vehicle but these unlocks are unlocked as you play through the campaign and vehicles are upgraded separately so you can't transfer upgrades from one to another.

    The Graphics are rough and to be honest I have seen better looking original Xbox games from 10 years ago e.g. Black which whilst not a racing game just shows how bad the graphics in this game are.

    The A.I.s all seem to act the same and just charge in, there's no difference between the other drivers. It would have been nice to have different drivers attempt to win the race in different ways e.g. some aggressive whilst others go for pedestrians to add variety to the races, for example, during one of my races I witnessed an A.I. driver just constantly driving round in circles oblivious to everything around him and even a few small taps from myself wouldn't knock him out of the loop.    … Full Review »
