To think this game came out in 1997 yet is still so playable and satisfying today with its solid gameplay.

CARMAGEDDON is a pure visceral thrill ride of stress venting that leaves me totally relaxed afterwards with its amazing though exaggerated physics system as one crashes into oppenant's racing cars seeing them take physical dents along with falling parts damage from the high speed impact. Its great to see touches of realism like ones engine smoking after taking a headon collision. This same smoke will obscure your vision just enough to make hitting oppenants and pedestrians a bit more difficult but in a fun non frustrating way.

Enemy ai is very well done with them giving the illusion of having their own purposes. Sometimes they'll ignore you while going against other racers and other times they'll hunt you down for many a street city block especially if you just bumped into them "accidently" :D Pedestrians will scream in terror at your approach and will start running for their stinking lives when they see you racing like a bat out of hell down the street.

Graphics are sweet in their brutality. It is quite a joy mowing down an old granny in a walker who reminds you of a certain passive aggressive senior citizen we have all had to deal with. CARMAGEDDON takes the wait out of waiting for the nursing home staff to show up to take them away as they scream in terror before you pile drive them with your race car against a building wall sending guts eyeballs and entrails flying everywhere. Ooo and what a squishy sound they make as i run over their dead bodies afterward. Then theres the sexy boys... ooo i hate sexy boys!

Sound effects are top notch from the screeching grind of cars rubbing up against a building to the POW! of crashing into public telephones and street lights. Its a real riot hearing pedestrians death screams when scoring points for killing them along with time bonuses. If one does a fancy move or stunt while killing them one is awarded even more points and or cash. Hearing your character cracking jokes or cursing really adds to the sense of immersion.

A timeless classic full of black humor and relaxing venting still absolutely playable and still gives any "modern" racing game a run for its money.

Thanks Interplay and SCi for the endless fun :D

DARK FUTURE: BLOOD RED STATES a non-stop adrenaline fueled death race of metal crunching mayhem on the highways of tomorrow.

The mix of real time turn based combat is pure hi-octane euphoria. I found myself totally immersed in the moment of every split microsecond decision i was making as my mind was constantly shifting gears for every new situation which materialized. No way would i have been able to have done all the precise cool attacks, sudden turns, ratcheting up the speed or dialing it down to avoid enemy fire or move into the perfect position laying down a carpet bomb of pipe bombs to anyone behind me without this amazing mix of real time and slow motion turn based combat.

Turn based is transformed into pure liquid lightning thanks to the real time component. Being able to take on multiple vehicular madmen on my own or with the help of a hired hand feels very natural yet frantic in the most fun of ways.

The user interface is a divine work of game design. I was shocked how i was inputting so many commands one after another and then switching back to real time mode with no performance issues or miscues or game crashes. Truly one becomes one with the metal like a martial arts master delivering one graceful killing maneuver after another like a ballet dancer on fast forward.

Visuals are alive with throbbing growling sexiness as vehicles zoom in and out looking for that weak spot to let loose with the lead or energy weapons or go into a full speed ram into the opposing force. Many a euphoric high has come as i would look back seeing a enemy car flipping into the air after i let loose with the pipe bombs or charged up the booster to smash into them like a quarter back at the Super Bowl.

Camera work is godly perfection! I have never seen such fine complete intuitive control in a game. I can look in back of me instantly seeing who is chasing me, to the side, to the front, above me, cam to the wheel as it hugs the ground with burning rubber or go for that egotistical magazine style screenshot with just the click of the right mouse button and no awkward things happening like terrain getting in the way. Awesome camera controls indeed which makes me feel like am living a picture scene come to life from a CAR WARS game manual.

Environments are gorgeous with a heavy industrial style along with plenty of relaxing views of nature and mountains. They are very easy to travel on never feeling clunky or out of place for the setting. Just like the vehicles and combat mechanics they are very strong part of the game's character.

Audio work brings the car crashing insanity to the senses with the visceral reality of a thought that is already there before the vehicle mangling sparks glittering disintegration across roads violent and fearsome reaches the flesh.

Music a pulsing heavy metal industrial piston engine SCREAMING! URGING! one on to smash into the backside of the vehicle ahead of you like two lovers in a heatwave grip of passion where death is the ultimate climax!

In between races you can upgrade your ride at the shop with new weapons which can be enhanced with addon's, extra armor plating,structural improvements to allow more weight etc. Make sure to fill up on gasoline otherwise you might be in for a rude surprise. You can also give your killing machine a new paint job for that personal touch. I painted mine a FALLOUT 4 vault suit blue and yellow just cuz :)

There are also plenty of great lore style emails to be read which flesh out the world with plenty of humor and information. Definitely has that tabletop game manual vibe of games like CAR WARS.

DARK FUTURE: BLOOD RED STATES, BUY IT! PLAY IT! FEEL THE ENGINE in your bones! FEEL YOUR FLESH QUIVER AND SHAKE in G-FORCE ECSTACY! WATCH YOUR MIND SWITCH KILLING GEARS AT MACH SPEED!

Then never settle for anyone who doesn't compliment you,
and give you even more of what you already have.

Just the smell with its certain warm baked smell similar to what one would get from Christmas cookies and bread loaves.

Do warm blueberry muffins remind you of Christmas? Was this a childhood memory?
Hellbishop 12 May @ 1:40am 
Nothing like the smell of Christmas from a warm blueberry muffin in spring time. Just make sure to read the sodium content and drink plenty of water afterwards.

Do not throw out the baby with the bath water for there is something to learn from all things.

@Killer Rabbit, empty space that won't last for long for we are a gatherer species.
