The Most ENTERTAINING racing game ever
(October 23, 2002) |
|
I was VERY encouraged to buy this game when I had played on the demo. The graphics, were, compared to most other games at the time, fantastic, and the detail put in to car damage was unbelievable. I also liked the absolute funniness (is that a word??) of this game. You come across pretty entertaining power-ups and weapons, such as zombie flame-throwers - which you use to burn those green-blooded zombies to a crisp - and a power up which turns your car into solid granite, or turns the suspension in to jelly. There are a wide variety of odd-looking, but fun to drive cars, which you can buy if you can blow them up in a race that is, one of which is basically a hamster-wheel with a couple of axes stuck on the side, and another fine example of a car is a mining truck, which is about x50 the size of any of the other cars in the game. The missions which you will come across during this game, are also very fun and well thought out, you have to do things like, forming road blocks, and laying mines and all sorts to stop gang leaders in their tracks, or planting bombs in sky-scrapers so as they will collapse and give you an ideal ramp to use to jump spectacularly over the city walls and in to the next level. There are an interesting selection of environments in this game, such as Hollowood - an area complete with a stunt track, and a somewhat stereotypical wild-west scene. There is also a place set in the Australian Outback, where you can go wild running over quite cute zombie - wallabies and llamas. Thankfully, there is also a Free-Driving game mode, which lets you race (or, of course, go on a mad killing rage) without the pressure of that annoying time-limit. There are 3-ways to win a race in Carmageddon TDR 2000. You can either: complete all of the laps (that's the boring way) you can waste all of your opponent's cars, or you can simply kill all the zombies. GREAT FUN. A must buy, for any fun loving, gore loving gamer. |

A fine addition to the Carmageddon family

I've been a big fan of Carmageddon since the initial game (the Splat Pack triggered my first 3D graphics card purchase) and I like this game a lot. After the rather disappointing graphics of Carma2, here we have a game that looks gorgeous, is full of action and excitement and, true to form for the series, is childishly violent in an utterly over-the-top, cartoon style. The car physics are superb, the new mission structure makes a bit more sense than in Carma2, there's a vague semblance of a plot and yet it retains all of the lunacy and gore that made the original so memorable, along with the more hilarious power-ups from all the preceding games. Superb fun that will have you glancing at the clock and wondering where the last few hours have gone. |

Superb Multiplayer Game
(March 11, 2001) |

A group of work colleagues and myself bought this on the strength of Carmageddon 1 which we played multiplayer every lunchtime. We were hooked on Carma 1... until this came along. I play the Death Race every day with 4+ players on a LAN network and every day the excellence of this game is reaffirmed. Superb crashes - cars dent, lose wheels etc (I even once bent my car so much that it would only drive around in tiny circles on the spot), excellent powerups, blistering speed - (try getting a Hot Rod, Afterburner and Mega Turbo all at once in the McKilem!!), editable car skins, great shortcuts just like the first game, excellent vehicle physics, superb and ingenious level design - you don't realise how clever it is until you've played it a lot and you start to get good at it. The more you play TDR 2000 the better it gets - and I haven't even tried the single player yet! |

This game is just excellent. For those who come back from work after a hard day this game is garentied to relive stress! How often is it that you get a driving where you can smash other peoples cars up, and even your own car, and how often is it that you get to run down those blasted cows and pedestrians. A excellent game! |

Best racing game around!

This is a top of the draw release, superior to it's predecessors and much more fun than say Midtown Madness. The vehicle dynamics are superb, nothing captures crashing a vehicle as this baby does, the musics thumping power, the missions are challenging and the multiplayer stupendous. Buy this ravishing looking game now. |
