Destruction Derby - Any Good ??

Has any bot got the new game, Destruction Derby, on the PC?

I've Seen a demo running  in  a shop but couldn't actually get a go.

If anyone has bought or played this game then can you post some
details.  I'm thinking of buying it but obviously its a lot of money
to pay for a game when your completely in the dark about it.

Any help? Thanks.....

I havent seen a demo of it for PC but I understand it is very similar
to the Playstation version, am told the graphics and frames/sec are
fairly similar as is the sound. Only difference being the PC version
uses 320x200x256 while the Playstation uses 640x480x32k I think.

BTW, the Playstation version was cool, the movement of the camera is
definately something that takes awhile to get used to (I wish it
would keep a constant rear view, if you are going really fast backwards
and turning at the same time you cant see where the car is going).

Bought it last week here in the UK, It's not bad, but too easy win races
graphics are VGA only pity coz it if had been SVGA it would have looked
pretty good. Not as good as NFS or Screamer when it comes out (Just
played the demo from *** at ftp.vie.com) better than Fatal-Racing
although it is great if you want smash up other cars at great speed in
Destruction Derby !!

just my piece said !

It' pretty good to destroy car.

With o a friend on the arena it's really too much.

When you're enought about destroying you could try to improve
your lap time in the "IN CAR" view. it's pretty difficult and the PRO
car is really fast.

Good game with friends but a short life time.
