OHH if you can find carmageddon 2 and get it to run i loved that game. One of the first and very few games to have ragdoll physics for pedestrians. TONS of pedestrians too.


Best is the "Pedestrian Magnet" power up and people run at your car to die

I don't like the steam engine's handling for car physics personally.

I'd say GTA IV definately has endless cinematic moments during "GTA Races" (Guns, Grenades, monotov cocktails, etc). Nothing beats going 80mph, shooting their tires out and watching them flip out of control. November is the date to look for that on PC.

I tried that one just yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised, it's quite an amusing game to say the least, it reminds me of Twisted Metal: Black on the PlayStation 2. There's place for improvements, but overall it's certainly worth a try, I know I'll keep it installed and I'll play it from time to time for sure. I was a little surprised to see that it had no A.I to play against for the beginners though (or just for fun).

I really liked Crashday, but it never really took off. I had originally bought an import, but when it was finally released in the US, it was a ValuSoft game unlike the Atari my import was. Got better reader reviews than critic reviews.

Some Videos.

You can probably get it cheap.

I have not seen these games on the PC in a long time. Which is a pity, as I had a lot of fun with them several years ago. Rollcage Stage 2 is probably the best such game I've played.

I got that one also. Seems like "something" was just missing from the game.
