Since winners are determined on a point system, you'll lose even if you come in first but fail to score by nailing other cars. The game is set up so that you absolutely have to ram other cars in order to win this gives you plenty of goals to think about as you zip around the tracks. Somehow, Demolition Racer manages to integrate offensive driving with the thrill of seeing that checkered flag. Anyone remember the racing mode in Destruction Derby? I didn't think so. Previous attempts at combining racing and wrecking have all turned out mediocre experiences. It might sound great on paper, but in reality Demolition Racer is a very weak game.

There's even a Suicide mode in which the first player to destroy his car wins. The various modes offer minor variations on the theme of damaging cars, and include Demolition Racing, where the goal is to stay alive and inflict as much damage as possible on your opponents, the self-explanatory Last Man Standing, some straightforward Stock Car Racing, and a Chicken mode against oncoming traffic. Clearly aimed at American non-gamers, it could tenuously be described as the Deer Hunterot racing games, in that it takes a redneck pastime and replicates it in a moron-proof fashion.Įssentially, Demolition Racer offers a similar experience to the ancient Destruction Derby, but unfortunately is inferior in almost every aspect. As the name might suggest, the wanton destruction of auto vehicles is the order of the day, and it occurs in a strictly rudimentary fashion, with a basic driving model and some simplistic effects.
