April 2025
it suffers from being a carmageddon game in the modern times. sometimes a bit cringy and dated in the same way postal or borderlands are but hey at least it's carma and at least it works. EDIT: feels like the game suddenly became really unstable. doesnt like alt tabbing and the music bugs out. also every time you pick up turbo or mega turbo there's a chance that it will bork the sound and all you can hear is a loud buzz. sometimes you can turn the game volume off and it stops and sometimes it doesnt without restart

The fact that you can run over Trumps or Hillarys or both at the same time or neither depending on your preference is incredibly based. Fantastic game. Definitely recommend playing with the Carmageddon: Max Damage - Overhaul Mod tho.

Great game but you should absolutely get the C:MD Overhaul patch at cwaboard and play with the experimental patch they released, by right click on the game in your Steam library, going to properties, clicking on the Betas tab and entering VmfPZyCgXec4v2R4 into the code box.

Vanilla game is quite boring... BUT! With this mod - STShotgun's C:MD Overhaul - it is completely different game. In short, cars are faster, they hit harder, and handle better.

Pros: -Physics that are faithful to the older games. There is zero learning curve in regards to the handling if you have played the earlier games. People with no Carma experience coming from Assetto Corsa or whatever are probably gonna have a bad time. -Everything else there is to love about the older games is still here but shinier: stupid humor, lots of different powerups and powerdowns, fun vehicle designs, neat environments, endless vehicular chaos, squishy peds, etc. -No missions! The most common criticism of the previous games is gone. Cons: -Fox n' Hounds I guess. Other: -Cops, including one that can emasculate the Suppressor. -The majority of the vehicles you can acquire early on are objectively worse than your starting vehicle, and they may be very difficult to control or too weak for combat. I see people in other reviews complaining about it and just don't get it. It is intentional and an extension of the games irreverent humor. Part of the fun is taking these shitboxes into the hardest levels of the game and trying to win. -The game had pretty poor modding support at start. Access the experimental beta branch to unlock full modding, and then download the Overhaul mod, which notably improves the AI (and they can repair and often powerups now, something I strongly wanted in previous games). -This game, or rather Reincarnation (Max Damage was a free update for Reincarnation buyers), was a day-one purchase for me. I can only say that about maybe 2 or 3 games in the last two decades. Unfortunately, it didn't do well financially and resulted in the franchise getting sold to THQ Nordic. Let's hope they don't let it rot.

Carmageddon Max Pack Carmageddon is the original freeform driving sensation, where pedestrians (and cows!) equal points, and your opponents are a bunch of crazies in a twisted mix of automotive killing machines. The game features anarchic drive-wherever-you-like gameplay and over-the-top surreal comedy violence. It’s the racing game where racing is for wimps.
