U.S. ELECTION NIGHTMARE SPECIAL
The original PC release of Carmageddon: Max Damage launched with a “US Election Special” mode, taking inspiration from topical current events - as two of the least-liked meat sacks on the planet slugged it out to become the Most Powerful Person On Earth. This Special Edition has these game modes still in place, because it remains just as funny now as it was then to show the President and the failed candidate what you think… By MOWING THEM DOWN IN A VIDEOGAME! Not just once, but over and over again... Impale a horrified Hillary on the end of your mighty rod! Repulsificate demented Donalds straight to frigging CHINA! It’s hours of FUN for the whole FAMILY!

Carmageddon: Max Damage for PC features these 3 additional game modes:
Trumped-Up where every pedestrian is respectfully replaced by the President of the United States.
Hillaryious in which you’ll meet nothing but duplicates of the defeated Democratic candidate.
Mass Debate which features a politically correct balance of both characters.

Animals remain in the mix too – suitably accessorised… You haven’t lived till you’ve knocked the wig off of a penguin!

Carmageddon: Max Damage is the latest instalment in the legendary Carmageddon series. Carmageddon is the driving sensation where pedestrians (and cows) equal points, and your opponents are a bunch of crazies in a twisted mix of automotive killing machines. It’s the ultimate antidote to racing games!!

Play an adrenaline pumping bunch of game modes against AI opponents, or online against the rest of the Carmafan masses! Progress your Career through the Carma ranks or have a MultiPlayer romp in a Car Crusher, Fox 'n' Hounds (always been Stainless MP game session favourite!), Death Race or Checkpoint Stampede event - all frenetic fun, featuring Carmageddon’s trademark over-the-top violence, crazy PowerUps and non-stop laughs…

PLUS! You can relive all the mangling mayhem with the built-in Action Replay System. Featuring multiple choice of cameras and replay options – it’ll mean you never miss a pile-up again! Get your movies online and brag about your ped culling achievements. And there will be plenty of THOSE too – Achievements, Challenges and Collectables to hunt down, that’ll keep the whole family entertained for hour upon happy blood and oil splattered hour.

The Car Is The Star! Carmageddon: Max Damage features a wide and varied range of cool, crazy, custom killing machines; each with its own highly distinctive “character”. Carmageddon cars are specifically built for the job in hand – wrecking opponents and killing peds! Nearly 20 years ago the original Carmageddon invented the whole concept of videogame physics and real-time damaging of cars and scenery, and so it’s obviously been our responsibility to bring this technology BANG up-to-date with a brand new state of the art car damage (and repair) system. Crush, bend, twist, and completely mangle your opponents’ and your own car – smash parts off, or split it in two; the original game was all about wrecking motors and pummelling pedestrians, and today we take this to a whole new level! Power, Armour, and Offensive upgrades are available for your car, along with other customising options, allowing you to personalise the killing capabilities of your rides.

A host of old favourites from the original Carmageddon make a comeback, along with some all-new faces. Only ever seen before as low resolution mugshots, now you get to see them from head to toe (well, head to knees in the case of Screwie) in full HD 3D glory – usually as they smash through their windscreen and hurtle past (or INTO) yours!

The new environments are amalgamations of the best bits from the numerous chunks of landscape that we all loved to tear around in Carmageddon. “Bleak City”, "Devil's Canyon", “Dusty Trails”, “MagNuChem” and "Snowy" levels all return in updated forms, with their memorable landmark features such as the Loop ’de’ Loop, acid pits and Football Stadium. Everything is reassuringly surreal; hell, we’ve even managed to incorporate a giant food mixer into a level!

The topography and detail in the locations is updated and enhanced, with even more fun stuff to smash into, smash up, snap off, and send careening into the poor pedestrian population. “Nice Shot Sir!” And talking of pedestrians…

Once again, the game features a varied mix of adult pedestrians of all ages, shapes, persuasions and species. Classic pedestrians are back, such as old lady on a Zimmer frame and old man with his stick, with their famous cry “I was in the war!”, plus bikini babes and swimming trunk hunks, fat bastards, and herds of cows in improbable locations. Joining them are some new faces – including cyclists, wheelchair users and peds on mobility scooters. Carmageddon is an equal opportunities ped slaughterfest!

PowerUps are back and this time they’re even funnier, surrealier, hurtier, and messier than ever! Lots of the classic PUps return in super-enhanced form, such as Repulsificators, Kangaroos & Solid Granites. Then we have all new PUps like "Pelvic Thrust" and a variety under the heading “Tossers”! Combine PUps to create hilarious combo results like Groovin’ Helium Filled Peds, or Peds without legs at a Temporary Rapture!

Leaderboards. Challenge yourself to reach the top of the leaderboard using skill or brute force! Achievements. A suitably warped array of mad Feats and Exploits will garner you the rewards that every gamer dreams of. Challenges: Do the most stupid things, collect meaningless trinkets and waste hours of your life in the pursuit of ultimately pointless goals! Smelly Bushes: We’ve hidden a variety of these specially fragrant Easter Eggs throughout the game to keep you busy and entertained! CarMODgeddon: The whole game is MODdable for your MODding pleasure!

Played it on PS4, bought it again here

Carmageddon Max Damage is the best Carmageddon ever, it not only improves everything that was good in the first game, but also forget all the big mistakes in the 2nd and specially goes far away from TDR2000. In this super mostly stupid PC age, games as Carmageddon never get all the PR and attention by the game press than they deserve, is the same fun, but more, with updated graphics, physics, and so mucho LOVE to make again all that was good in the 1st game. A Jewel.

Max is back and crazier than ever

I had really low hopes for this game, all of the titles after Carmageddon 2 were kind of terrible. However that basically changed the moment I booted up the game, with the except of being able to change a few settings like not automatically changing weapons, the game is extremely polished and fluid. It gets even better once you poke around the game and realise that this is basically all of the content of Carmageddon 2, but expanded with more vehicles, more weapons, more mayhem, more peds, more blood and hilarious police scooters. All with a dash of an extremely good looking new graphics engine, that makes you want to get window wipers for your screen. I can not recommend this game enough, if you just need some mindless violence and terrible humor, this game delivers by the boatload.

Not a simulator but something better...

At first handling was hard but I think everyone can get used to it, if they try. Not much of story but there is a campaign and lots of cool tracks to play around in or out with different "killing" machines. Has multiplayer too, never tried it tho, cuz not many people know about this game I suppose. Give it a try, it's something different for a price which isn't beatable and has no extra cost (DLC's, Deluxe/Golden/Ultimate Edition). Oh and it's very violent.

A lot of good, but also flaws.

This game certainly recapture what Carmageddon was and even improves on it. The new modes add a much needed diversity to the game. In that sense, the game is excellent. The graphics are kind of subpar for a game released in 2016, but they do the job and better graphics would bring nothing to the game. The loading times are annoying, but they are not that bad (it takes about 30 second to load a map on my computer). To me, those two small flaws are insignificant. However, the lack of steering wheel support is a major flaw in my mind. I know some people say it's not a racing game, but it is still a car driving game where driving skill does matter. Worse, even with a game pad, speed is controlled with a button. It's not possible to map it to an axis. It's on/off. This removes a lot of control over the car. Another flaw is the inside the car view is pretty much unusable. The limited FOV (the inability to change it), the lack of a rear-view mirror, the really weird car models where the driver is pretty much sitting on the left door (the left A pillar is near the center of the screen) and the fact that when we look to the right our own head is blocking the view, means we can see very little, even with cars that have a big unobstructed windshield like the Countslash. Another flaw is the game is limited to 4:3, 16:10 or 16:9 ratio. Ultra-wide monitors or multiple monitors are not supported. VR is also not supported. Obviously, the game was made for consoles and for console gamers. It's not a PC game. Other than that, the AI is sometimes annoying (it insists too much to touch you, even if this leads to no damage) and it looks to me cars have a tendency to "clamp" to each other. An AI that is touching you on the side can drag you and it's difficult to escape. Finally, the damage model doesn't seem to be consistent. It looks like there is some adaptative difficulty going on. Overall, it's a good console game, but as a PC game, it is flawed.

nope

What breaks this for me is a combination of floaty driving and twitchy unhelpful camera. I don't feel in control of the car at all. This was not an issue for me in any of the previous Carmageddon games. There is a game here, but I'm not really enjoying it. I won't bother completing it.
