U.S. ELECTION NIGHTMARE SPECIAL
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…
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!
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!

Almost excellent on Windows 10 Boot Camp
I invested in Carmageddon: Reincarnation via KickStarter way back when in response to their promise of a Mac version. I repeatedly pestered Stainless for it. It all came to naught. Digging into the subject I found that Stainless had 3D programmed themselves into a corner using Microsoft's proprietary DirectX technology rather than OpenGL or other. Because they used DirectX 11, that killed off any possibility of Carmageddon: Reincarnation or MaxDamage running on Macs, Linux, or in virtualization programs of any kind. I pestered the virtualization companies as well! No luck. - - Therefore, giving up on alternatives, I dove into the murk that is installing Apple's Boot Camp with Windows 10 on my MacBook Pro 15" 11,3 with NVIDIA GPU and 16 GB RAM. After that hell was over, I found both Carmageddon: Reincarnation and MaxDamage running WONDERFULLY on my MacBook Pro! I'm stunned and love it. Everything is as great as I'd expect from the comedic, violent lunatics at Stainless. If not of the convolutions required to be able to play the games on my Mac and the broken promise, I'd give them 5 stars. It's close to excellent; Never boring; Great graphics; Rich maps, powerups, peds and car upgrades. Full of humor and Easter egginess at every turn. Bravo! I'm very glad I invested. My favorite has game joined the 21st century.
