Everybody loves a comeback story, right?Īs with the original, Carmageddon: Max Damage mainly revolves around trying to run over as many absent minded pedestrians as possible, which in turn allows you to extend your racing time limit, while racing against other drivers. Who knows, maybe they’d be able to capture some of the over-the-top shenanigans of the original game and turns things around. I’m a big supporter of indie games-well, I should clarify that: I’m a big supporter of good indie games, and so went into my gaming play through with this latest Carmageddon title with an open mind. I didn’t have the opportunity to play Reincarnation since it was relatively under the rader, but part of me wanted to give Max Damage a chance. You get the idea.Ī sequel to 2015’s critically panned Carmageddon: Reincarnation, Carmageddon: Max Damage takes to the track and attempts to salvage whatever original interest in the series there ever was. It sort of reminded me of many of today’s comedy films such as the recent Key and Peele offering, Keanu, which attempt to stretch out what should have been a single gag, into an entire 90 minute movie. After all, although the wide assortment of vehicles on offer were pretty fun to take out on spins, the series’ main attraction-running over innocent civilians (and occasional cows) in order to accumulate points-can only be amusing for so long. I tried playing Carmageddon back then, as well as one of its sequels, but quickly grew tired of its shallow gameplay and equally thin shtick. It just made the impressionable and rebellious youth of that time want to play the game even more. Of course, the whole “too risqué to play” and “controversial game” angle was just a smooth marketing ploy by the game’s original developers in order to get these groups’ panties all bunched up. In fact, Carmageddon quickly gained the ire of conservative groups who denounced its glorification of unbridled chaos and carnage, and either censored it or banned it outright. and Germany, were also taking a close look at it. Not only were folks interested in its no-holds-barred, tongue in cheek brand of hyper-violence, but certain countries, such as the U.K. Meanwhile, a lesser know (at least at first) contender, Carmageddon, lurched out onto the video game highway, and through achieving notoriety, quickly gained traction in the minds of that time’s gamers. 1997 saw some pretty incredible releases, such as the pivotal Golden Eye 007, the original Grand Theft Auto, and (even though I never was into it) the reportedly classic Final Fantasy VII. The console wars were in full swing and the ever-glorious PC platform fielded a whole plethora of enticing and unique titles. Any of you fellow gamers who were playing video games back then may have remembered it as well, most likely as fondly as I. What can I say? It was a golden year forever etched in my younger gamer’s data banks. Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.The year: 1997.
