This video sucks
Then make a new video!! :)
Needs a revisit. You could mention the power ups too.
Don’t listen to this jerk, Clint.
True!
Could remake it, cover the entire series...
I BEGGED my mom to buy this for me when I was a kid. She did.
Best Mom Ever.
nothing felt better than begging your parents to buy you a video game or new console to play new games on
it felt like you got the key to heaven
@@Ar1AnX1x what’s even better is having gamer parents now that’s paradise
Same
I had the demo in the 90s and did get the full game until the early 2010s when Internet speeds picked up to ADSL2 at 10-20mbps always alot of fun
How is prison going for you?
Fun fact:they made those videos of the guy in the corner by hitting him with a billiard stick.Several times.Thats having dedication for your art.
one of the best games of my youth and it does teach you how to drive properly.
i now drive like this every day to work
Eek, who is that, it's an imposter!
@@RS250Squid AARGH SHUT UP! FKN GAME
same dude 🤣🤣🤣
I remember being impressed by the damage model at the time. Real-time deformation just wasn't something that racing games had back then, and you could really bend the cars into some fantastic shapes by smashing them up.
I spent WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much time on this game.
Loved every second of it :)
I'm 11 years late to this review but holy smokes is it 100% accurate. Thank you @ LGR!
Lgr is a good channel. Hope he never stops making video’s
Seeing the box art for Carmageddon 64 was all I needed to know why it's horrible.
Titus made it. They made Superman 64.
My god the holyist of the Shit games
Still my favorite racing game of all time, also the game that introduced me to Fear Factory which was one of my favorite bands in high school
its on Android devices now. GET IT! :-)
Clint, you gotta bring back this intro every now and then, it's my favorite one!
mmm my favorite racing game. i will always keep returning to it. there is something so wonderful about it that can't be explained with words. and of course great review!
Just here watching a retro review of a retro game, made by The retro game reviewer LGR ❤ delightful!
I have so great childhood memories with this game, along with Doom
I remember playing demo of this game to death in nostalgic software render.
Never thought I'd be sold on a racing game, but you sir, just did. With a vengeance at that! Just bought this at gog. Thank you sir.
And keep up the awesome videos. You are amazing at what you do!
You forget to mention the awesome damage modeling! That was a feature that really stood out back then. Amazing game! Love it!
I remember playing this with my brother back in the day!
Thank you, LGR, for your great reviews! You're such an inspiration! The best game channel on youtube. Love how precisely you review the every game. Just like analisis from art-scholar
A little trivia, while Max Damage's car is based upon Frankenstein's from Death Race 2000, the others are based upon The Cars that ate Paris, an early film by the well known director Peter Weir.
Very well visible in the Volkswerker. Great film btw!
You earn my subscription right there !! I played so much ..who else remember these over-aggressive police and the famous "ibetyoucantprintcunt"!! My personal G.O.A.T.and the best pixel to fun ratio ever!
Good old memories !! Played it non-stop back in the days 🤟
Thanks for the reviewing this game. You inspired me to try it. I like the game and I did end up beating it. It feels like a more open ended destruction derby version of Twisted Metal. I used to play those games a lot when I was a kid.
In Carmageddon I love how you can complete the races in a variety of ways. I would usually wreck everybody, but sometimes I couldn't because the other vehicle was too big and armored. In that case I would just finish the race. This only happened a couple of times though. I only beat a map by killing the pedestrians once just because I wanted to try it. I had the 'pedestrian respawn' and 'show pedestrians on map power-ups' that time which encouraged me to go for it; I can't imagine trying to hunt down every last pedestrian without either of them... that would take forever!
I didn't like how hard most of the power-ups were to find. And that weapon countdown timer can be brutal. Many times when I found the power-ups there was no one around and the timer would run out before I got to use it. :( That was always very disappointing. The power-ups should have been clearly visible on the track or the weapons should have been activatable. Or both could have been done for some real craziness. :D Then the game would have felt more like Wipeout or even Mario Kart, which I think would have been a good thing. It kinda sucks that the racing in this game isn't very rewarding: you don't get more game time for checkpoints and finishing the race gives you the least amount of completion bonus points. The racing and wrecking probably could have benefited from each other if they were more congruent. Making the race endless seems like it would work well and be a lot of fun as long as time was rewarded for checkpoints. I wonder if there are any good mods out like this. And I wonder if the game's sequels made any of these changes. Guess I'll go find out now. :)
10 years later and I'm still waiting for a Carmageddon 2 review. :-P
You always have the coolest intros man
One of my all-time faves right here. I had Carmageddon 1 and 2, and very little else on my computer growing up. Such a joy splattering every single thing on the screen for points.
Gotta love that Body Hammer instrumental! I remember the look on my face when I heard it upon firing up the game for the first time that the music worked for me.
Just bought this on GOG Summer Sale. Don't know when I'll get around to actually playing it, but now I know it'll be there whenever I want it.
Awesome review there phreakindee!
I remember playing Carmageddon at my friends house a lot years ago.
I actually came looking for this old review. I agree with Clint, this is by far the best DOS racing game and one of my all time favs. I’ve actually played it recently on iOS and it’s still quite enjoyable
totally have this game on my phone x) it was free haha LGR your videos rock dude
Had so much fun with this back in the day
back in a day it felt such a big "open" world game but when you look at map it's tiny
My dad bought me this game when I was 8 back in 97, while everyone was playing Mario and Zelda... I was playing this, MDK and GTA baby!
Thanks for making these videos. I'm glad there's another real old school gamer.
Played this on my iPad a couple of years ago... Loved driving the "Heavy Impaler" the most!
Thank you so much for the review! I love that game! It's a must-have and must-play.
This game is made of pure awesome and I think it's... err... awesome to see a review that agrees with that. For some reasons I always got the feeling Carmageddon doesn't get the love and recognition it should in the gaming media. It's pure 90s action bliss and few games, even modern ones, get close to that pure fun factor this game has in bundles.
If anyone was wondering what the song in the background is, it's Body Hammer by Fear Factory; the drummer did a fair bit of music for different games.
Ahh the time when gaming didn't have to be morally coherent. :D Carmageddon 1 & 2 are some of the most memorable games of my personal gaming history.. And btw, here in Finland, we did get the uncensored version. I played the "zombified" version of Carmageddon 2 (or was it TDR2000?) somewhere, and it just felt wrong. I think they also had a version with robots instead of actual people.. These were mostly in the UK or Germany or someplace.. But yeah, I get chills just by watching this video. Awesome times. Thanks LGR. :)
I only played the the androids-version (sorry for the pun), or, how said it, robots. Personally I liked it betterthan the original. So I could set my eyes and ears more on the oversized weirdness, the great physics and audio engine, and the really cool soundtrack.
Yes this game brought me Fear Factory xD along with Mortal Kombat (movie)
Fact : Carmageddon is the first game combining a real physics engine with deformable models, open environnement, sandbox playing if you like. It's the ancestor of anything like modern GTA and the such. I used to hack the game when I was young to modify specs of cars. A 100 tons earthmover is a thing you dream to lay your littles hands on in your kiddy sandbox, so I made one myself in Carmageddon. Yeah, I actually had a retail copy of the early uncensored EU red blood version when I was 12. I'm perfectly chemically balanced nevertheless.
Also developed by Stainless Steel. Because good games are like good knives, they never rust.
Actually, Carmageddon and GTA were contemporaries, they both came out in 1997 (and contributed to the general hysteria back then). But I see what you're saying, and I somewhat agree.
This was probably my favorite game ever back in the day.
Heyy LGR, I didnt know if you knew but there's a new Carmageddon game coming out soon! Its still early access, the game is called Carmageddon: Reincarnation
AnotherCritFail Did it ever come out? How is it?
Such an amazing game for its time. I really want to go play it now.
This was one of the first PC games I ever personally owned. My relationship with my best friend of 20 years was partially based on this game. Great stuff
Excellent review!!!
Play this on my Tablet while in the bathroom. love it still to this day! remember playing after school as a kid. great times!
AppliedScience Haha I do that too :D The tablet version is way better than the original! Cars handle better and you can actually unlock every car.
@@hunyiu Great to play when you are ANGRY
I loved this game as a teenager.
I got this game as a kid and I didn't even know it existed.
It left an interesting impact on me.
yeah you really get the spirit of carmageddon here :)
Oh the joy of automobile carnage. I still have the box for the second UK release. The bold graphic's, innovative gameplay and music kept me entertained for a long time. My favorite way of winning the race was snagging the pedestrians until I found that they were positioned in hard to get area's. The pedestrian respawn power up allowed one to get the total pedestrian count (up to 700 or more) and win the race with tons of money (due to a bug that didn't reset the ped count). There were a relatively small number of modders that made custom vehicles and tracks (which greatly added to replay value). Thank you for the trip down nostalgia road.
Man it was a blast to play this a long time ago. I remember how much fun it was to play this game. It's defenatly not a kids game, but did I care? NO. >:D
I have played both Carmageddons and I totally recomend it... of course if your old enough to play it. I wish I would have either one on my computer.
Thank you for this video. You brough back some fine memories.
I bought the mobile version and it's exactly like the original. Totally worth it!
I remember that I had played 80% of the game when I realized that It was in fact a race, that you could win by just doing the laps... instead I was driving me crazy killing every single opponent car.
This game's physics are better than many modern car driving games, really!
I never finished a lap in carmageddon... for long time I didn't know there are laps
Will you do an update to this with the reboot of Carmeggeddon on Steam?
I pre-ordered it and so doing so I got early access to what they had.
And it was so fun they have the original tracks from this game and so cool to see it with shiny new next gen graphics. :)
This was the first game I utterly utterly loved!
I just wanted to mention, that your viewers (including me of course) would surely be happy to see a LGR of Carmageddon 2! :)
What did you use to film this, man 😂😂😂. Love going back to your older stuff to really see the improvement and see how more confident you are now. Keep it up!
Hey! You could make a Doom II review! (Hahahahaha just kidding, you're gonna get it)
Carmageddon is an amazing game! The PC version is much more difficult than the Android port because you can't be eliminated and your car can't be stuck sideways (which happens A LOT) on the PC version!
About the cars and the career mode, I always liked to choose Max but to use Ana's car instead. Since Max's is front wheel drive and Ana's is rear wheel drive, you get a lower chance to get eliminated trying to do so with your opponents. After all the races was concluded, the opponents give you a copy of their car keys. So you can pick up the Stella's car (which is capable of electrocute people by default) and your task to kill all the pedestrians become a little bit less suffering!
And what about the 6-wheeled cop car?!
Thanks, LGR, for such a great review! I still play Carmageddon on my Android nowadays. Awesome game!
I loved Car 2. Such an amazing game. I loved how the cars bent twisted and ripped in half. Awesome fun.
Spent sooooo many hours on that game (even more on the 2nd one)... I have to find it back now !
This game was fun for 20 minutes and that was about it. The maps were huge and it was easy to get a little lost or just waiting for an enemy car to drive by to destroy. There was one level that had a giant lake or somesuch and it took forever to get out of.
The remake/sequel could be good.
this game gave me some of my best childhood memories
The best racing game ever! I had the Macintosh version. We had the demo for a while and got dad to spring for it. Many good times, especially with my siblings over the network! I played it recently on a beige G3!
I used to have hours and hours of fun playing with the camera replay action in Carmageddon 1, it was awesome! especially if you found a wasted car that you hadnt destroyed yourself, but you could rewind it so you could still see how it was destroyed! that was awesome! the camera mode probably entertained me longer than the game! :D
I absolutely love that intro you should definitely reuse it
I miss this game... I use to play it on my IBM Aptiva back in 1996.
Excellent review. Carmageddon!!!!1!
I remember this but for some reason I remember playing Carmageddon with much crappier graphics. It was also 'overhead' as if you were looking down at it
Or maybe that was GTA? Haha they get mixed up in my head so often xD
Another great review!
I remember watching my older cousin playing this on his Pentium MMX machine just as you described: mixing the guts of dead pedestrians with the burning oil of his destroyed rivals, laughing like a maniac. Also very fun to watch.
I remember i played Deathttrack alot back in the day. Some time later, the same with Doom and Wolfenstein 3D. After that i wondered if there'd ever be games which combined both.
And a few years later came Carmageddon, Destruction Derby, Fatal Racing and Interstate '76 and '82... I had alot of fun playing them all :)
Hey, I was looking around for videos on this game, and luckily you made one! This game looks...fun! And thanks for mentioning the N64 version is horrible, because I had thought of trying that one. Although...now I want to try it just to see the horribility for myself. :)
Completing the race by running down all the peds is alot of fun too. The map powerup also helps this and makes it easier for you to complete it that way. :)
i loved this game back then,still one of the best :)
Nice Review.
I suggest you replay TDR2000 and review it. I heard you talk it down in some of your other videos, and I really don't understand why. I reinstalled it recently to see if I was seeing it with nostalgia goggles, but it was just as fun as I remembered. Great maps/weapons/missions
Best intro ever
god some games today aren't this fucking awesome, just looking at it you can see how much care went into it
Because of this and the LGR Plays of the game, I got Carmageddon Splat Pack 8 or so years ago and loved it. I still wish I had figured out how to design my own cars for it, I really wanted to make my own character and a modded Porsche 906 Carrera.
That driver selection screen took me back
This game is BLOODY AMAZING!
this was ported to android as well. feels like an overkill to play it on pc, but awesome fun to play when you're taking a ****. I played the crap out of this as a kid. ohh memories...
One of my top favorite games ever! Played the newest version? I haven't gotten around to it, but was looking forward to it initially.
Love this game. It gives a dark and industrial feeling of beeing alone in big mad world. There are also some games with the same feeling/atmosphere (of course not the gameplay) such as: Battle Beast, Quarantine, Oddworld, Normality... love it!
I remember when I got it, I was 13 years old... and it was a recommendation from the seller (no joke). It was the zombified version. Hopefully, I got a patch from the CD of a magazine and then, I got the real game. It was AWESOME, really a good time.
Carmageddon 2 in the other hand was... meah. More bonuses, sort of challenges after some tracks, etc. It was better than the first one, but the main problem I got was the physics. Anything who looked like a small pylon, like the sides of a fence (the center of fences was destructible, but not their supports at the sides) could literally CUT you in half if you crashed on it, and so you die. I don't remember if the first one was concerned by that, but in this one, it was so regular that I still have a sort of PTSD from it. I had to play slowly and carefully to avoid dying stupidly. I finished the game, but this annoyance affected the fun I got from the game.
I still didn't try Carmageddon: Reincarnation despite buying it. I hope I will get the same feeling that the first one... or I will just have to reinstall my old CD :)
Fear Factory came to Australia a month ago and they played the entire Demanufacture album from start to finish, you bet when certain songs were playing i was thinking of this :')
I loved this game!
I wrote off this game as a game that didn't age well and went for shock factor over gameplay...
I was wrong all these years. This game looks FUN!
Nice choice of music, Clint! I didn't know you were into Fear Factory! : )
That's the game's soundtrack, I didn't put it there!
LOL! I just realized that until after completing the video. Hahahaha!!!
***** th-cam.com/video/aySRoyUif4g/w-d-xo.html
+Lazy Game Reviews c'mon Clint, you know you like fear factory a little bit because of this game
Yup, FF did part of the soundtrack and I think God Lives Underwater did some songs too. FF also did the soundtrack to Messiah. Interplay was the shit back then.
I was playing Carmageddon 2 years ago and my mom at the time kept complaining about the screaming "Why you playing that awful game?". Then she gave it a shot, and not knowing how to control it very well ended up running over 20 peds accidentally and was having a ball laughing her head off.
There's a Carmageddon kickstarter in the works, hopefully it rocks.
Carmaggedon and Doom will be the best games of the 90s
The fact that you haven't reviewed Carmageddon 2 is balls. SIMPLY BALLS.
But, I have... That's what this very video is that you're commenting on
Lazy Game Reviews
This is the Carmageddon 1 review, not 2!
Edit: just realize I didn't add the two in the first comment.
Lazy Game Reviews It's still balls!
blew my mind to find this game in the google play store, you can play it on a phone now lol, im used to leaning over a pc
I loved this game!!!
Nice little trivia; the same people that brought you Carmageddon also brought you most of the home versions of Rodland; you know that ame that was "so cute it'll make you puke" slogan (under the name Storm/ Sales Curve, then later to just Sales Curves), Sales Curves would later be named Sales Curve Interactive and the rest is history.
LGR I wanted to cry when I got this game for free on my iPod. It is the Freebird equivalent of pure car destruction fun.
OMG I remember this as one of the first games ive ever played!!!
I was like 5 or something!!!
Man I loved that game,
I looked on your channel and could not find it, just in case I missed it, but you would enjoy Redline (you probably have already played it). It is seriously duke nuke em (more late 90's style) combined with Carmageddon. Some quite silly, almost campy 90's attitude, first person shooter with post-apocalyptic vehicle combat.
Redline is one of my faves!
Played this game with a 3dfx videocard was awesome, even had the christmass version.
Many grandmas got killed
