Destruction Derby 2

Overall, though, the game is a huge improvement over the first version. The graphics are better, the tracks are better, the way the cars handle is better. In case you're wondering why, in that case, it has a lower score than the first version, it's quite simple: things have moved on, and racing games in particular have made a huge leap from the time the first version of this came out. Whether you want arcade thrills and spills, or a proper simulation, there are already a great deal of very high quality games available - and more on the way. This, however, is still a much-improved game with a lot to offer, and provides a good long-term challenge. Well worth a look.

Trotzdem ist Desturction Derby immer noch die launige und unkomplizierte Raserei, die mir schon vor einem Jahr Spaß gemacht hat. Wer gerne mal das Blech fliegen lößt, fährt hier genau richtig.

Psygnosis has sure been busy lately with the release of a series of games that are either sequels to PC titles like Discworld 2, conversions from the PlayStation such as Krazy Ivan, or both with Destruction Derby 2 now available on the two platforms.

Let's face it: at a certain age, destroying your toys becomes more enjoyable than playing with them. When you were a kid playing with matchbox cars, did you ever actually race them against each other? I thought not. No, you slid the little die-cast speedsters as hard as you could at one another until they smashed to pieces on the kitchen linoleum. Am I saying that this is the correct way to play with matchbox cars, that one should be encouraged to enact scenes of demolition with his playthings? Yes, because it's fun.

Ein realistisches Fahrmodell in einem Action-Rennspiel wie Destruction Derby? Sorry, Psygnosis, aber das gehört hier einfach nicht hin. Trotz der wunderschönen Grafiken und der gut designten Strecken kann das Spiel seinem Vorgänger längt nicht das Wasser reichen, leider wurde nicht einmal ein echter Mehrspieler-Modus integriert. Als Stock-Car-Simulation mag Destruction Derby 2 noch durchgehen, als Actionspiel ist es einfach zu schwierig.

Destruction Derby II er ikke elendigt, det er bare mangelfuldt. Det er lige så sjovt som etteren, og så er grafikken virkelig flot. Men desværre er manglerne fra det første spil ikke rettet i toeren, og har man etteren, skal man bruge pengene på noget andet.

Na een paar dagen heb je het wel gezien en verlang je naar meer. Ik heb terug F1 Grand Prix 2 gespeeld en in de eerste ronde Michael Schumacher en Gerhard Berger in de vangrails gekwakt. Dit gaf me meer voldoening dan het pesten van de tegenstanders in Destruction Derby 2.

Jeg har sjældent været så skuffet over en fortsættelse. Hvis det bare var en efterfølger, der mindede for meget om forgængeren, var det til at leve med, men Destruction Derby 2 har mistet enhver charme som Destruction Derby havde.
