WOW!!!
Most arcade fun I've had in a looooooooong time!!! And actually car
handling and physics isn't THAT bad. Better than most; on par with Race
Driver 2 I'd say.
But the damage model is incredible!!
Word is there will be a sim mode in the final too.
This game is gonna be a must buy IMO.

I thought the courses could have been a little more imaginative. The damage
and physics model screams for a track with a crossover intersection or two.
The demo just didn't grab me. Sort of boring I thought. They need to dig up
a copy of the original Destruction Derby for a few pointers.

Full version has 'sim mode' without the throttle aid, figure 8, ragdoll
bowling and demo derby course FWIW.
ROTFLMAO! First time I crashed and saw the driver go flying and yelling
AHHH! Too bad there is no incar view just a front bumper like view.
Great arcade fun for a change.

Hehe... imagine using the driver's view and flying through the
windshield =)
Amen :)

Spoken like a true ***
I tried CMR4 the other day, but were immediately put off by the sucky
input setup screens. If a game developement house cannot make an input
setup for my custom setup, they are not up to the task of making a
racing sim worthy of my costly time.
How hard can it be????

Correction. Seems the full PC version in Pro mode still has this
traction control aid active. Lame.
This game has loads of potential as a decent simish racer but the
throttle limiter thing keeps it way on the arcade side. Arg.
