Wot a punt!

For years, i kept my PentiumII Win98, just to keep playing this game from time to time. When it finally died after 20 years, i tried different VM's on my Win7, but never got it to work... So i was very happy to find it here on GOG! Race tracks like Mr Jolly Fairgound, USS Lewinsky, Local Nuclear Silo and the ski piste are just fabulously insane. Well, all tracks are brilliantly designed imo, but each time you think it can't get any crazier, it does... (remember the one where a plane lands on your head during countdown?) ;-) I don't think one has to choose between racing, wrecking or killing, but you have to mix them. In later races, it becomes clear that the more you race for checkpoints, the easier it becomes to get rid of opponents, but for racing, you need time and therefor you have to kill... After a few laps, the weaker opponents are easy to get wasted, while during the last two laps, the heavier opponents become easier to wreck, if they haven't wrecked themselves yet. Definitely one of my all time favorites!

Carnage to the extreme

This is the embodiment of 90s blood and violence extravaganza. Running over pedestrians, destroying public property, breaking into other peoples' homes and smashing against opponents' cars is all fun and strangely satisfying. The game is divided into groups of 3 regular levels and one mission level. To unlock the next group, you need to beat the current group's mission level and, to unlock the curent mission level, you need to beat the 3 regular levels first. This makes the gameplay sequential for the most part although you can revisit already completed levels from the past in any order you want after you unlocked them. In regular levels you can either race against your opponents through a bunch of checkpoints on the map in a circuit a predefined number of laps, kill every single pedestrian on the map (this is very difficult) or, the most fun way, massacring and blowing up all your opponents until you're the only one left standing in the whole level. Achieve any of these goals and you win the level so that you can move onto the next one. But there's always a timer that you have to be wary of, the total time depending on the difficulty you started the campaign with. In the regular levels you can add to the time you have left by killing pedestriants or attacking and damaging opponents, which just continues to incentivize violence. You almost never start out with enough time to just purely race across the checkpoints so, one way or another, you will have to start causing mayhem, either to your opponents or to the people around you, even if you want to play the peaceful way. Some mayhem will always be in order. Aiding in your destruction are power-ups scattered systematically across the maps that only add to the fun like giving you a giant metal spring ability with which to launch opponent cars flying into the air, wrecking them. Or Mine farts out of your car's backside. Yes, really. Or automatic pedestrian zapping passives. This game is just complete bloody bliss.

Great game but GOG needs to fix this one

This game was a blastwhen it was first released and it's a blast now. However it loses a star for requiring some trickery to get working with Windows 11 (none of which are in GOG's support article). Here were the steps that worked for me: 1) Install manually via downloadable installer. 2) Navigate to the folder with the game. 3) Rename "CARMA2_HW" to "CARMA2_FIXED" (or any other name you want). 4) Right click your renamed file and check "Run as Administrator". Click OK. 5) Launch "CARMA2_FIXED". 6) Enjoy. This would be easy for GOG to fix. I wish they saved me the muck around.

Crash n' roll

Something I just couldn't keep away from. My physical copy of the game is so worn out it'll probably turn into dust if I try to install it once more. DRM of the good old days, install until it breaks. Not sure if it's the soundtrack, extreme physics with over the top stunts or just the total carnage we all love, that gets me back into this game year after year. It's in the same league with Deus Ex and Heroes of Might & Magic 3, where you just have to play it again, every time someone mentions the name.

Not as good as Carma 1 but still decent

Run over pedestrians, drive like a bastard against other vicious opponents, still-great-for-the-time crash physics: the core of the awesome Carma gameplay remains. What is unwelcome are these ridiculous missions between free races, and the introduction of stick figure polygon pedestrians. Carma 1 was pure delightful anarchy and chaos, Carma 2 is slightly better tech and slightly worse gameplay.
