Carmageddon 3Dfx Pic
  • Price: £14.99
  • System Requirements :

    • I n 1997 the best example of road rage hit the gaming world with a vengeance. Now Max is back, and the inhabitants of the local town are again wearing brown trousers!

    The Carmageddon Splat Pack adds more levels, more opponents and more fun to the original Carmageddon - the racing car game with one rule - there are no rules! You can do what you want, where you want, and when you want, making this one of those rare racing games where you can break free from the usual constraints of a set course and go looking for power-up, or mowing down extra pedestrians to give you extra time!

    The first game contained 36 set race courses split over a number of environments, and this new add-on contains 18 new courses split over 4 environments including HELL! You can go visiting other parts of that environment which you would normally only visit on the other set courses. In addition there are 15 new opponent vehicles, and more network levels including the 'figure of 8'.

    You can play the game normally though, going through the check-points and winning the race, but you'll soon notice that your opponents aren't as interested in doing this, and would sooner see you plummeting to your death off the top of a high building (again!) than crossing the finish line. Get your own back then, and find a nice long stretch of road, get a good run up, and head back in their direction to send them back to hell where they belong.

    Installing the Game

    Carmageddon 3Dfx Pic Installation is simple and can be done both in DOS and from within Windows 95. In either case you will be asked where your original Carmageddon installation is (eg. c:\carma), and then where you want to install the Splat Pack (eg. c:\carsplat). The installation program will then copy all the relevant files to your hard disk, after which you will be prompted to insert the original Carmageddon disc for the final part of the installation.

    If you're stuck between choosing a medium or full installation, the full one only benefits you if you have a CD-ROM drive slower than quad-speed as the only bonus you get out of it is to copy the FMV sequences onto the hard-drive. As most PC's these days come equipped with quad-speed or better, a medium installation should suffice.

    Playing the Game

    Since the Splat Pack doesn't differ from the original in terms of its basic gameplay, for all such aspects please check the original review which is HERE

    Extras

    The original Carmageddon disc came complete with...the game itself. If you wanted the 3Dfx patch for enhanced graphics, or the blood patch to change the zombies back to humans waiting to be run over for fun, you had to go searching on the internet. However, both those patches are available here as is another version of the game which replaces humans and zombies with robots - a version which was actually used in some parts of the world. The DirectX 5 drivers are also included on this disc.

    Graphics, Sound and Playability

    The graphics and the interaction between the cars, pedestrians and scenery is all first rate. Each of the cars is very detailed, mainly down to the fact that they've been rendered with polygons, as is the scenery, the only parts which are sprites being some track accessories and the pedestrians. Also, the collision-detection is spot-on.

    The sounds in the game set the tone perfectly, but lose a point for being not a great deal more than you'd expect from a racing game. The sounds that do stand out are the grinding crunches between the cars which are great fun. If you have your PC connected up to a hifi or surround amplifier, make sure you have the volume turned up as you plow into the opposition!

    Playability is nothing short of excellent. The combination of keys can take a little getting used to, but once you've worked out what goes where, or have configured the keys to suit your own preference, you're well on your way to venting your frustration on the bad guys. After this, it's a case of practice makes perfect, or try, try, try, try and try again...and again and teach the opposition a lesson they'll never forget.

    Overall

    Overall, for me, Carmageddon was last year's racing game of the year, and now the Splat Pack is the racing game of 1998 so far. There may be some people out there who were hoping for an all-new Carmageddon experience. Well, perhaps one day the PC gamers around the world may get their sequel, but until then you can't beat this bargain buy.

    If you want a nice, sedate drive in the countryside then this isn't for you...but if you'd rather have a violent, road rage-filled drive THROUGH the countryside's ramblers, then you should buy this now. For those worried that cows were always unfairlyon the receiving end in the original, the Splat Pack redresses the balance...sheep get the splat treatment as well!

    If you're after some more Carmageddon excitement, you can check out the official SCI Website at www.sci.co.uk which also includes links to a stack of Carmageddon-related sites.
