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!

cheating AI further in game

I had fun in the beginning but it seems how more powerfull your car get the more you glide instead of driving.. the further you come the more bad the game is i dindt had that in the old game... number 1 of the series... so the further you come there is no way to shake of other drivers they drive like no gliding you drive with gliding... they can always bump ride you because the AI is so bad they dont glide at all its like aimbotting but then the AI does it... very annoiying so its a very bad game... in carmageddon 1 you could shake them off with good steering this game not so much.. so that already says lazy game design.. and i hate it big time.. like always mostly the first game is always the best...

It is mostly fun... ...darn ai

I had little experience with the previous titles, so my judgement is based on this game alone. Overall for a car racing/combat game it has a lot of fun moments that keeps you coming back if you are into that genre. I liked the fact it was not just achievement driven, but it had in game unlockables. My main problems that make it not the perfect game, consist of the fact a lot of the vehicles seem to be hit or miss in terms of the usability. There will be a car that is fun to use early game for racing (or combat) and than later become opsolete later in game. This would not be so much of an issue if the controls for them all were not so varied. Since the game had an upgrade system it just seemed as though that it should have made it where if you found a vehicle you liked you could take it end game. The other issue is with how the ai worked. For the most part the ai is not a big problem, like in classic mode it is understandable that they mostly want to kill you. The issue is with check point mod, fox mode and the others where you could be in dead last and it seems like the ai just wants to kill you. It really takes you out of the experience of the event. The other ai issue I have is the police cars seem to only go after you. This would not be as bad other than the fact you are competing with other ai that like to slam into you when you are losing and than you have these cars targeting you like you are the only one. It makes some levels feel like you are playing two different events with an unnecessary disadvantage. In spite these issues I have put 14h'ish and plan to put in more. The game is fun it just has those moments where you will want to restart an event just because it seems like the ai is only after you and not trying to actually win.

Boring

Even though the price is really small, it's still not worth it. I played the game for a bit over 1 hour and it was boring from the beginning till the end. Multiplayer was totally empty so I couldn't play with anyone else. The only option is to play with friends, but even then the game is just somewhat clumsy and slow.
