Sure, they look better than the 2D pedestrians in Carmageddon, but they could be better.Ĭarmageddon 2 is good for a few quick rounds, but it just doesn't stand up over time. However, as nice as the cars and environments look, the pedestrians still appear very stiff and blocky, looking more like mannequins than actual humans. The end result is a car and an environment that respond like real life, but this time you don't have to go to jail to find out what ramming into stuff would look like.
Carmageddon 2 windows#
Objects in the world around you can be similarly damaged ¿ light poles snap and fall, store windows smash, etc. Since all of these objects are modeled on hinges, it all looks fairly realistic when pieces hang onto your car for a few seconds before tumbling off. Cars now show dents where they get hit, and repeated damage can rip off your bumpers, hood or even your doors. Everything's in 3D now, and it's the little graphical touches that are the most notable improvement in the sequel.
The graphics in Carmageddon 2 have also been drastically improved over the original, with better car details, larger levels and chunkier pedestrian eviscerations. Carmegeddon 2 supports up to eight players over a LAN or the Internet, so you can get your buddies together and pound their cars into stubby little blocks of metal. While the races get a bit tedious, especially at the higher levels where it seems nearly impossible to finish a race in the allotted amount of time, the multiplay aspects actually offer up a good bit of adulterated fun. I also ran into some framerate issues when I had the details turned all the way up. Money is money after all.Ĭontrol has been improved over the original Carmageddon, but the cars still feel just too darn floaty, like you're racing on some low-g planet. Sound horrible? It is, but no matter how much I want to win a race, the races always seem to break down into repeating runs through a crowded square trying to see how many folks I can kill at once. It's more than just mindless violence though (watch as I try to justify this), extra points can be earned through particularly creative slayings, or by killing more than one person at once. That's right, each living thing you mow down will earn you money that can be spent on improving the condition of your car or buying power-ups and new cars. What makes Carmageddon different is that you can also earn credits for running down pedestrians.
Carmageddon 2 upgrade#
Along the way you'll earn extra time and upgrade credits by passing through various checkpoints and collecting power-ups. You jump in your souped-up hot rod and race against a group of speed demons through varying landscapes in an attempt to be the first one to reach the finish line. At its core, Carmageddon 2 is a lot like other arcade racing games.
The creators of the original Carmageddon packed the follow-up with more action, fun, and mayhem! Play chicken with an airplane!
