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!

BEST of the series

if you are going to buy one of these carmageddon games then THIS is the one to buy! graphics are really good but you need the PC power to run it so be aware of this. my only complaint would be control of your vehicle, from the very first game in this series driving around in these cars feels like driving around on a sheet of ice, very easy to lose control and spin out/crash into a wall. a really fun game but it doesn't get 5 stars because the vehicle controls have not been improved, fix this and you have the perfect game! get it!!!! you'll like it!!!!

Stainless did their best

It is rare to see a tribute to your own work done by yourself to succeed, there are many examples where things were horrible. But from the recollection of Kickstarter backers and general udnerstanding it seems that Stainles were in right mindset - their goal was to bring first carmageddon (reincarnate it so to speak) into than modern age. they did that, and whilst ommiting few thigs from splat pack and ... certain FEARARRI F666 because marenello has no sense of hummour what so ever. They did compose what i think of as one of the best games in car combat genre. Sadly i am in minority on the subject. So a bit later they made changes according to their audience's feeback and Max Damage edition was more closely alligned with carma 2 - tighter more responsive cars being one very notable way it was improved (i realy like floaty ones of C1). So yes if you like gory fun, if you think boming down a mainstreet at speed of plaid staring into headlights of mother trucker wilst compact unit: Nil threat impotently tries to stop you than this game can be for you. Offcourse due to this being legacy game it did have to grandfather in some duplicate powers (turbo and more turbo, damage and more damage etc. - there is quite the history with those and some fans would have problem with some of them missing) which would likely have been steamlined out in most contemporaries of the era it was released in. but it is managible. The cocpit cam is also missing but i guess they did not have much time for funny vignettes this time around as they made the game themselves on indie budget. Overall i do perosnaly love the series and the fact that they (unsuccesfully) tried to bring carmageddon back which as fan of first gem i greatly appretiate. + its carmageddon (aka everything i expect from first game is here) runs well looks well plays well sounds well - music is bit forgetable but i get the urge not to work with pricks liek iron maiden again, duplicate power ups no F666 its dead again .(

Max splat is Back!

I have played Carmageddon 1, 2 , TDR, and now Max Damage. Back is the mojo of running over everything and get time and points. Your opponents can use power-ups on you. Cars are more refined, and are able to do selective damage with the weapons that stick out. Barrels are everywhere! Game play has different variations of not just chasing check points. You get to chase people, hunt and be a fox, and smash others. I am impressed by the graphics, details of blood and buildings stand out. However car motion and strength seems to be a bit off. Not quite balanced as Carma 2. Overall all, still an enjoyable game.
