If you have a Voodoo 1 or 2 card, the game looks great.
CARMAGEDDON 2 REVIEW PRO
Carpocalypse Now doesn't require 3D acceleration beyond the Rage II or Rage Pro built into most PowerPCs, but the frame rate is painfully low, even on a G3 266. Giant pedestrians are large and easy to run down and the drunken ones, well, let's just say the they never see you coming. Big head pedestrians take on a distinctly Japanese anime look. To enhance their cartoon nature, you can pick up powerups like drunken pedestrians, big head pedestrians, and giant pedestrians, that all do pretty much what they say. The only thing keeping this game off the banned list is that the people you're running over are very cartoonish, with a low polygon count and a walk as stiff as Al Gore's. The more finesse or style you exhibit in your antisocial driving, the more points you're likely to get. Pile drive a walking man into a building and you can pick up a quick 700 points. Vehicle repairs, power ups and upgrades are all purchased with points that you earn by destroying opponent cars or running down foot traffic.
Chances are also high that you will eliminate your competitors long before you run out of time. In practice, driving around causing destruction and racking up points is the way to win because it is easy to pick up additional time for the track. Ostensibly, you're supposed to be racing a circuit, the first one across the finish line wins. There are more ways to crush, run down, and otherwise maim innocent people in this game than in real life. This is the kind of game that Congress gets upset about, and rightly so. Carpocalypse Now is all about destruction.
