The game still has some of the Carmageddon formula that makes it work. Physics are certainly a level above Carmageddon 2. The 4 minute limit and permadeath make it a harder to get in experience, but any Carma fan wouldn't have too much trouble. The bigger vehicles allow for more precise handling without 180 spinouts every 2 seconds. I don't know why even the devs slag it so much. Certainly not as bad as Carmageddon on Gameboy.
This is by far the best Carmageddon game and one of the best car combat games too. There might be elements of the older Carma games that you may like more, but overall this is the total package.
