Destruction Derby 2

Att Psygnosis har tagit bort länkfunktionen känns oförlåtligt. Någon borde piskas offentligt för det. Man kan visserligen spela flera stycken efter varandra, men det är inte samma sak. Men trots att länkfunktionen saknas är DD2 helt underbart. Det är bara högsta betyg som gäller.

For the most part, I applauded the changes to this more realistic sequel. In my view, the best change involved the car control. In DD2, car collisions have become more realistic because they're modeled after 3-D physics. The result is as visually appealing as it is convincing: Cars now spin out, roll over and even flip in the air. Still, the big reason to buy this game remains Destruction Derby.

The game is more realistic and much more of a challenge. This is a classic case of the designers realizing what was wrong with last year's game and fixing those problem areas. Fans of Destruction Derby should rev up their engines and avoid the driver's door in their search to wreak havoc on the other derby drivers.

This one had me hooked from the first moment I picked up the controller. Destruction Derby 2's new tracks and crash animations are simply too much for any racing fan to resist.

Car-crunching excitement and new features that burn rubber from the get-go combine to crown Destruction Derby 2 the champion of motorized mayhem.

This game is a lot of fun, and if you've ever had the urge to just smash into that idiot who cut you off, this is the perfect game for you.

Destruction Derby 2 fixed the problems with the original title and broke what was good in the first. I really enjoy the racing part of the game now, and actually get frustrated trying to race in the destruction derby. As a racing game, the wrecking race adds a cool twist to the traditional stock car race. The graphics are top notch and I really enjoy the selection of tracks available. This game is a solid title all the way around, if they would just tone the energy level down on the destruction derby. The strange thing is, I keep going back to it and trying to master it so I guess that says something.

There's no doubt that DD2 is far superior to DD. But if you're only interested in the collisions experienced in "The Bowl" from the original, you'll find few improvements here.

Destruction Derby 2 is the game the original should have been – with the luxury of more advanced development tools and more generous deadlines, its programmers have finally realised the full potential of the concept. DD2 is excellent for a number of reasons, the vast majority of which stemming from the radically improved mechanics of its cars – specifically the addition of proper z-axis manipulation.

Destruction Derby 2 isn't a bad game. The actual car physics are done really nicely, and the in-car cam gives you a terrific sense of speed. The graphics are great too, although the pop-up is a trifle heavy. It could be loads of fun, if it weren't so darn hard.

All things considered, Destruction Derby 2 would be more fun if it were a bit easier to play. Even so, it blows the doors off the original.

Harte Race-Action pur garantiert auch der zweite Teil der Destruction Derby-Reihe. Viel Schrott, heiße Reifen und unglaubliche Sprünge. Egal ob harte Rennen im Nascar-feeling, oder Attacken in einer Arena... vor Unfällen ist man nie gefeit. Etwas verbesserte Grafik und gutes Lenkverhalten macht diesen Titel zum einem Muß in der Rennspiele-Sammlung.

Your vehicle handles poorly, and each time your car bangs into something, you end up facing the wrong direction. Consequently, a tedious three-point turn is required to get back on track. There's a pit stop available, but just like so many other racing games, it's not very useful. Perhaps the most shocking aspect of DD2 is that it contains no two-player options at all! I highly recommend the original Destruction Derby, but steer clear of this lackluster sequel.
