U.S. ELECTION NIGHTMARE SPECIAL
Play an adrenaline pumping bunch of game modes against AI opponents, or online against the rest of the Carmafan masses! Progress your Career through the Carma ranks or have a MultiPlayer romp in a Car Crusher, Fox 'n' Hounds (always been Stainless MP game session favourite!), Death Race or Checkpoint Stampede event - all frenetic fun, featuring Carmageddon’s trademark over-the-top violence, crazy PowerUps and non-stop laughs…
The Car Is The Star! Carmageddon: Max Damage features a wide and varied range of cool, crazy, custom killing machines; each with its own highly distinctive “character”. Carmageddon cars are specifically built for the job in hand – wrecking opponents and killing peds! Nearly 20 years ago the original Carmageddon invented the whole concept of videogame physics and real-time damaging of cars and scenery, and so it’s obviously been our responsibility to bring this technology BANG up-to-date with a brand new state of the art car damage (and repair) system. Crush, bend, twist, and completely mangle your opponents’ and your own car – smash parts off, or split it in two; the original game was all about wrecking motors and pummelling pedestrians, and today we take this to a whole new level! Power, Armour, and Offensive upgrades are available for your car, along with other customising options, allowing you to personalise the killing capabilities of your rides.
A host of old favourites from the original Carmageddon make a comeback, along with some all-new faces. Only ever seen before as low resolution mugshots, now you get to see them from head to toe (well, head to knees in the case of Screwie) in full HD 3D glory – usually as they smash through their windscreen and hurtle past (or INTO) yours!
The new environments are amalgamations of the best bits from the numerous chunks of landscape that we all loved to tear around in Carmageddon. “Bleak City”, "Devil's Canyon", “Dusty Trails”, “MagNuChem” and "Snowy" levels all return in updated forms, with their memorable landmark features such as the Loop ’de’ Loop, acid pits and Football Stadium. Everything is reassuringly surreal; hell, we’ve even managed to incorporate a giant food mixer into a level!
Once again, the game features a varied mix of adult pedestrians of all ages, shapes, persuasions and species. Classic pedestrians are back, such as old lady on a Zimmer frame and old man with his stick, with their famous cry “I was in the war!”, plus bikini babes and swimming trunk hunks, fat bastards, and herds of cows in improbable locations. Joining them are some new faces – including cyclists, wheelchair users and peds on mobility scooters. Carmageddon is an equal opportunities ped slaughterfest!
PowerUps are back and this time they’re even funnier, surrealier, hurtier, and messier than ever! Lots of the classic PUps return in super-enhanced form, such as Repulsificators, Kangaroos & Solid Granites. Then we have all new PUps like "Pelvic Thrust" and a variety under the heading “Tossers”! Combine PUps to create hilarious combo results like Groovin’ Helium Filled Peds, or Peds without legs at a Temporary Rapture!
Leaderboards. Challenge yourself to reach the top of the leaderboard using skill or brute force!
Achievements. A suitably warped array of mad Feats and Exploits will garner you the rewards that every gamer dreams of.
Challenges: Do the most stupid things, collect meaningless trinkets and waste hours of your life in the pursuit of ultimately pointless goals!
Smelly Bushes: We’ve hidden a variety of these specially fragrant Easter Eggs throughout the game to keep you busy and entertained!
CarMODgeddon: The whole game is MODdable for your MODding pleasure!

Good ol' Carmageddon is back
Max Damage pays tribute to the classic previous entries in the series and adds more. Problems aside with the then freshly kickstarted game paved the way to one of the most solid games in the genre which is MD. Spectacular visuals (I'm not into this frenetic madness of measuring and comparing like a buffoon but in this case the 60fps pc is the way to go and I say it personally), precise violent and fast paced gameplay, classic characters and newer ones somehow add to the nostalgia which is so important to us GOG fans, without spoiling big time for the new players. One could effortlessly dig this without ever touching any other Carmageddon game. The OST is... a bit meh, somehow a tad generic (reminds me of some 90s rock tunes feature in games such as Twisted Metal) but nonetheless passable. Not taking any stars for that, nope, but thing's could've been amazingly different since we had one of the greatest metal soundtracks ever made in Carma 2; oh, this one rewards us for being open world friendly and explorers much like the first and second games, so no worries on that. As a fan I know I gotta put this passion aside and be more accurate but... MAN at this price it's an easy pickup. Lots to do, multiplayer is gorgeous and yes, Stainless Games nailed it: it's the first good entry that fits amazing with a controller, so props to them. Kickstarter fans gotta be proud regarding this one.
