I think that had much more of an impact on me. The previous games, and especially the first one, had a great way to show them, with the car, driver(s) and a little biography being shown and you could scroll through them all. Several fan favorites return, but I actually can’t think of any other cars that made a lasting impression. I know the previous games also didn’t have brilliant levels only, but here they just seem to lack personality.Īnd this also goes for some of the cars. Strike two.Įven though the levels are kind of big and there’s plenty to see and do most of them just feel uncharacteristic. Anyway, cars take much, much longer to destroy and it takes away from the fun of the first two games. I know I too often could not finish an event just by a lack of time. Then you have to resort to hitting peds and there aren’t enough of them in an area to keep that clock ticking for long enough. That isn’t bad per se, but it is if you so have so little time in a level. Cars feel heavier to drive and they’re just tougher to destroy. The checkpoint races are actually quite decent, but who the hell has ever even finished a race in Carmageddon by hitting checkpoints (racing enthusiasts need not reply)? So that’s strike one. Besides that, extra time is handed out little by little so you continually have to hit peds or crash into cars if you want to even finish a level. These missions are first of all timed and second have you drive through small streets, alleys and whatnot and the cars just don’t lend themselves to that sort of navigation.

We play it for the carnage and destruction. TDR (which means The Death Race) continued the idea of a story and as all Carmageddon fans know we don’t play this game for the story. Not as bad as others claim it is, but just very different and it made some changes for the worse. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if that’s either good or bad. This would not be the Carmageddon of old. I’m not sure what happened to Carmageddon after the sequel, but one thing was clear.
