I’m not so politically correct that I can’t enjoy a bit of black humour. This is a game that asks you to derive humour from running over screaming pedestrians in wheelchairs, or from the words ‘up the arse’ being smeared across your screen after you hit the back of another car.Īfter finishing and filing this review, I found a set of tokens that seem to spell out different slang terms for a vagina, a challenge entitled ‘Taking the Clunge’. The thing is, what might have felt edgy in 1997 just feels dated and puerile now – not that I’m sure most of these jokes would ever have been considered funny. Lots of fans of the ‘classic’ series will step forwards and say that it’s part of the culture of the series, that it’s only there to make fans happy. Carmageddon: Max Damage feels like a hangover to an age of gaming that has long been left behind, and this game is a strong advocate for leaving the past exactly where it is.Ĭarmageddon: Max Damage looks and feels like a dinosaur, and the most obvious indicator of its lack of quality is its ridiculous sense of ‘humour’.
It’s a ‘racing’ game only because you’re nominally in control of poorly handling cars. It’s been a long time since I’ve played a game as utterly pointless as Carmageddon: Max Damage.
