And, of course, there is the Eagle R, the balanced red racer often used as the franchise's mascot, and owned by Max himself. The low scoop of Cleaver's car easily tosses other vehicles over the hood, while serrated blades protruding from the hubcaps tear apart wheels and kneecaps alike. Its durability is low, however, so running into a slower yet more armored car can turn this green blur into a tumbling inferno. The bright-green racer owned by Count Slash is one of the fastest on the road, and is perfect for those who prefer blinding speed over death dancing with other racers. Vehicles come with their own list of strengths and weaknesses. There are six available cars, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Other issues include an inconsistent physics engine, which, on occasion, causes your car to go flying in an odd direction either by getting pushed into a wall by an enemy or by hitting a small bump in the road. The simple act of turning a corner may prove challenging, since the slightest correction can cause the car to fishtail wildly, often forcing you to careen into a cement barrier or over a ledge. The clunky controls don't aid much, and most of the cars feel weighty and unnatural. But just as those warm feelings of nostalgia began to resurface, the game would become a slideshow, often to the point of crashing, forcing me to restart my computer.

There were times when I raced along the cracked asphalt, chuckling as pedestrians scrambled for cover as my car thundered along with enemy racers hot in pursuit. It was difficult for me to get a grasp on the game's overall feel. The developer has acknowledged issues with the frame rate and has promised enhanced performance as the game moves out of pre-alpha. Expect frame rates to hover around 20 the majority of the time, while plummeting far lower during busier moments. Carmageddon: Reincarnation has severe performance issues, and even if you decrease the graphics settings to the lowest levels, the frame rate still suffers. The true state the game is in becomes apparent as soon as the checkered flag is dropped. The game is currently in pre-alpha, which is something akin to a barely playable demo. Maps contain plenty of cows to slaughter and loops to master. To win in this mode, you must complete a set number of laps, kill a certain number of pedestrians, or completely obliterate the other racers. In Classic Carma, which harks back to the days of the original games, victory is rewarded by completing one of three objectives. At the moment, the game includes only one mode. The build includes six different vehicles ready to shred the road across three maps. Like its forebears, Carmageddon: Reincarnation puts you behind the wheel as Max Damage, a thrill-seeking cyborg with a maniacal grin just out for a little fun. However, while this early build appears faithful to the classic series, the game still needs a lot of tinkering under the hood before it's roadworthy. Stainless Games is attempting to resurrect those treasured moments with Carmageddon: Reincarnation, the first game in the franchise in more than a decade. They were easier to find back in the day, when games like Carmageddon and even the original Grand Theft Auto ruled, and when the overhead camera was still in fashion, embracing and rewarding sidewalk surfing while in the safety and comfort of a two-ton metal death machine. The review below critiques a work in progress, and represents a snapshot of the game at the time of the review's publication.Ī thought occurred as I watched my cherry-red, blade-adorned car sail end over end through a crowd of screaming pedestrians and confused bovines, spewing chunks of flayed meat onto the asphalt behind me: there is a depressing lack of modern games that embrace the simple joy brought about by casual vehicular manslaughter. While the games in question are not considered finished by their creators, you may still devote money, time, and bandwidth for the privilege of playing them before they are complete. GameSpot's early access reviews evaluate unfinished games that are nonetheless available for purchase by the public.
