	I never thought a computer game would make me think of blood and motor oil in an erotic way...

What would Carmageddon 2 be without a few new fields of screams? C2 presents the player with 12 gorgeously rendered environments, with 3 tracks per environment (for those of you taking Arts in university that adds up to 36 tracks in total). Each environment presents the player with a new set of opponents as well as new pedestrians to pummel and new accessories like lamp posts or gas pumps. The amount of accessories is simply staggering and will present players with some of the most complete and realistic (and destroyable) levels ever seen. The areas for C2 are as follows:

Max's Junkyard:
This area is available in the pre-release demo, and it showcases many of C2's new features, like fog and lighting, as well as presenting players with several road conditions, like pavement, dirt, and underwater. Bums, oops, I mean domestically challenged people, huddle around burning drums for warmth, while shoppers in the malls browse the Little Miss clothes section and stand in line at the checkout counters, completely oblivious to the soon-to-ensue carnage. Driving through the empty malls and offices of the demo is nothing compared to the thrill of careening through shelves and store displays.

Twin Shrieks:
A quiet logging community is the target on C2's Tour de Force, and here again the environment can be as dangerous as it is beautiful. Log cabins and lumberjacks litter the landscape (or, at least, they will soon :) ), and a tugboat circles a pristine lake moving logs about (and Canadian readers remember The Beachcombers? That tugboat is MINE!). Players can pretend to be lumberjacks (women's clothing not included) and knock down a few trees of their own or cause some real damage to coal trains and sawmills!

New City:
Just like the original, C2's city levels are sprawling metropolises with hidden areas almost everywhere. New to C2 will be more recognizable city features like Hospitals and Banks. Pedestrians here will be the standard city rabble, businessmen and women, and of course, your overweight donut-swilling police force. You can even recreate for favorite bad action movies with a drawbridge that opens and closes!

Airport:
Planes take off and land and a monorail track transports passengers in this model of ordered society just asking to be annihilated. If the fast lane isn't your speed you can take off to the outskirts and fly over mountain roads and through tunnels. One of the most appealing aspects of this environment has GOT to be driving through the terminal (get it, "terminal") and taking out various civilians, among them the maligned Harry Chrishner (their spelling, not mine). You can even blow through people's baggage as you drive recklessly through the level, which can explain what happened to my suitcase the last time I flew TWA.

Indy Race Track:
Take out all your pent up frustrations from buying NASCAR 2, and release them here in an orgy of blood and motor oil. Imagine your favorite Indy driver's face as you smash through the pit area destroying everything in sight! Just look out for the gas tanks...

Other environments include the Olympic Ski Village, Quarry, Dare Devil Stunt Track and Fair Grounds, an Aircraft Carrier, the Desert, a Nuclear Missile Silo ("You can't fight in here this is the War Room!"), and the ruins of a Nuked City.
