This is such a fascinatingly bad game, made by the same people who brought you Superman for the Nintendo 64 but then I'd argue that this game is just ever so slightly worse. And that's mainly because there are some vaguely ambitious aspects involved in Superman, except this game was just a direct port of Carmageddon 2 that absolutely fails to achieve any of the gruesome fun that game had.

Gone are any of the satirical elements calling back to Death Race 2000, or any sembelence of impact or the feeling of driving a car. The controls are absolutely terrible, it glitches like all hell every so often, and also with graphics consisting of small textures which are stretched out to jarring proportions which is noticeable even on a crappy CRT set.

Everything about this game is just a mess, one where it almost feels like someone was intentionally just playing with it to see if they could suck out all of the fun out of a conventionally good game - which on that basis they would have well-succeeded.
