In Carmageddon, the player races a vehicle against a number of other computer controlled competitors in various settings, including city, mine and industrial areas. The player has a certain amount of time to complete each race, but more time may be gained by collecting bonuses, damaging the competitors’ cars or by running over pedestrians.
Races are completed by either completing the course as one would a normal racing game, “wasting” (wrecking) all other race cars, or killing all pedestrians on the level.
The game was notable for its realistic and ground-breaking physics and for its in-game movie making features. It was also one of the earliest examples of sandbox 3D driving games, and may have influenced other later games including Driver and the Grand Theft Auto series.

| Game Analysis | Carmageddon Max Damage system requirements have not been finalised but the likely hardware requirements will be around a 2-3 year old PC to run at 1080p. This will be a quad core CPU, like a Intel Q9650. Add to this a GTX 760 GPU or an AMD R9 280 and you will likely achieve 50-60 FPS in Carmageddon Max Damage on high graphics settings. We expect RAM requirements to be around the 6GB system memory mark. In Carmageddon: Max Damage players select from a roster of more than 30 cars and crash, bash, and smash their wait to victory. | |
