The original Carmageddon proved to be more fun than Wal-Mart on mannequin-changing day. It
was the first game of its kind, not really a great racing game or a destruction derby, but
sort of a free-style killing event in which points were awarded for splattering innocent
bystanders. Fun of this type and caliber was new, and thousands of would-be psychopaths put
down their AK-47s and reservations at Denny's for the chance to cause some real destruction
on-screen. I myself had not had this much fun since the old Atari game Defender, where I
laughed merrily as the blocky populace was beamed to their impending doom on board the evil
alien spacecrafts. Unfortunately, since the objective was to stop their slaughter the games
usually wouldn't last very long, and the doctors told me that if I kept laughing like that I'd
have to take my special pills again.
Well, screw my psychiatrists! Soon, my closet homicidal tendencies and knack for wholesome
fun will live again with the release of Stainless Software's highly anticipated Carmageddon 2:
Carpocalypse Now! The boys at Stainless are crafting one mother of a sequel, adding in reams
of special effects and new toys while managing to keep everything from the original
Carmageddon that made it so much fun to play. These two qualities are essential for any
successful sequel (just look at Bruce Willis; his movies are always different, but he
invariably ends up bloody in a tank top by the end of the picture). So buckle up, read on,
and salivate profusely.
