It is just a slightly improved version of Carmaggedon with 3d accelerated
graphics.
Don't even bother downloading it.
Why can't developers come up with something good instead of just trying to
cash in on the success of a previous title?
Typical.
P.S. Anyone know what codemasters are saying about the release date of Colin
McCrae Rally on the PC? Last reports were of a delay to September. Any
change?
1) It's not a DOS based game
2) It has 3d accelerated gfx
3) You can crack the windscreen
4) You have a horn (is this in the original)
I've only played it for 20mins, feel free to add to the list.....
Colin McRae Rally has been put back to September, but there is still no
official release date.

But the novelty soon wears off (like after 2 minutes).
Oh well, at least there are other games to look forward to....
Colin McCrae
NFS3
Professional Sports Car Racing
Superbikes
Trans Am Racing
Gran Turismo (Maybe)
Viper Racing
So I'll have something to play (if they ever come out) that'll maybe test
the speed of my 2 Voodoo 2s.

It is much better than the first. Yes, they haven't changed it that much, but
its all improvements. Sure, if you've just bought number 1, don't ruch out an get
2, but if you've never played 1, or loved 1, carmageddon 2 is looking like a
really good game (in a sick way)...
P.S. - I hope the Australian censors are in a good mood when they look at it.
Carmageddon 1 only just scaped through unmodified. The 'running over pedestrian'
part in 2 is getting quite realistic.

you have to do is change one line in the GENERAL.TXT (in the data directory),
which reads EAGLE3.TXT (it's right after 'Cars to use as defaults:' ) to
anything you want. The names of the cars you can use are found in the
data/cars dir. Note: any try by me to change the car to the truck
(using VOLVO.TXT) caused the demo to lock up at the title screen.
(but i am sure you knew that already)
