Demolition Racer is the perfect antidote for "civilized" racing games. If shaving seconds off your lap times in games like Gran Turismo 2 is just too darn frustrating, then Demolition Racer serves up a heaping helping of catharsis. The object of this game is not only to win the race, but to destroy the other racecars on the way to victory. Unlike the weapons-oriented auto combat games, such as Vigilante 8 and Twisted Metal, your only weapon here is that physics formula you learned in high school: force equals mass times acceleration. And what a wonderfully practical application of that formula Demolition Racer provides. Being the first at the finish line doesn't guarantee a win, because the final score comes from a formula that multiplies your race ranking with damage points that are inflicted on other cars. And the crashes don't seem canned: cars twist, roll, and spin, catching fire here and losing panels there. |
