What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
You are given the option of launching with original software graphics, or emulating it in 3DFX Glide, which beautifully renders the models and environment on modern graphics cards.
Although Carmageddon holds up pretty well there are a few things I think suck, for one the progression of the game is VERY slow, basically how the "story mode" works is you progress by making profit to increase your placement in the top 100 in between levels which can be done in a number of ways, crashing into other cars, pedestrians, collecting barrels around the level or going through checkpoints.
It features a frenetic soundtrack and intense gameplay through a wide selection of maps with a fair amount of gore.
Gamepad support requires external tools, as usual.

Online play appears to be a possibility in this version, with selectable "Launch Carmageddon Multiplayer Host" and "Client" launch options.
