The cartoonish physics are still there, but cars no longer just crumble into a blackened heap of polygons; windows shatter, fenders fall off, cars even split in half when hit with sufficient force, and even pedestrians can be torn into bits. Level design is a bit iffy though and some of the maps are just disguised stunt tracks, and while the first game did a great job at world-painting a kind of bleak dystopian urban environments, C2 makes no effort to make itself look futuristic. I also feel that some of the humour of the original has been lost here. But in terms of pure vehicular carnage and manslaughter, C2 is easily one of the best.
