Max is back !! Bigger and badder than ever before !!

Stainless Software/SCi announces the release of the eagerly awaited sequel to its 1997 smash hit Carmageddon, Carmageddon 2 - Carpocalypse Now.

Carmageddon was released last year amongst "just a tiny bit" of controversy, with calls to "ban this killer game" from the media around the world, and then went on to prove its critics wrong by scooping a body bag full of awards from around the globe. Developed once again, by the patients of Parkhurst prison's clinically insane wing, known as Stainless Software, Carmageddon 2 - Carpocalypse Now, is destined to make computer gaming history again. Let's face it, Carmageddon caused a blood storm in a teacup, this time prepare for a full-on tidal wave. Carmageddon 2 - Carpocalypse Now will take players to the next level of gameplay, whether you are trying to hold down your lunch after taking out those pedestrians waiting for a bus, or franticly trying to re-build your car after having your butt kicked by one of the Game's A.I. opponents, Carmageddon 2 - Carpocalypse Now will take you to the edge and further as you race your way through 1998's greatest driving game. We heard a rumour that we might have caused a little bit of controversy last year, well, Carmageddon 2 - Carpocalypse Now is about to create media mayhem !

Carmageddon 2 - Carpocalypse Now's new features:

Cars:
· Thanks to the new and improved 3D and physics engine cars not only crumple as before, this time they crumple, crush and fall apart. Imagine pile driving into the side of an opponent and seeing his windows smash onto his lap.
· You can ram a car so hard that its wings, doors and bonnet detach and fly through the air and are last seen sliding down the road in a huge spray of sparks. You can smash your car and the cars of your opponents to such a degree that you can even knock out the engine and push it down the road.
· Stainless Software have also managed to take the physics engine to such an extreme that if a car takes enough damage it can be "banana" shaped or even split into two halves.
· Carmageddon 2 - Carpocalypse Now features new vehicles such as a combine harvester which will bail pedestrians into neat little cubes, and an aeroplane without wings and a real passion for living out its fantasy of being a meat blender.
· Get ready for the sexier than hell, new and improved Eagle MK 3.

Tracks:
· Tighter, intense and extreme death match tracks.
· More challenging single player tracks. These tracks will feature fully interactive, destroyable landscapes, which means you have access to things such as lifts, draw bridges, fake walls, concealed pits and puzzle-like trigger points that will need to be solved in order to access secret levels.
· You will stil be able to race through the city streets, this time however you will also be able to join F1 races and athletic events just for the sake of good old fashioned carnage. Ever done the 100-metre spurt or picked up a real case of Athletes foot.

Pedestrains:
· Thanks to the new improved engine all pedestrians, animals and other drivers are now polygon based which means, yep, you guessed it, arms and legs can be detached. Well, Carmageddon has always been known for pulling a leg or two. If you just remove a limb the victim can still be seen, limping across the street, searching for help..there is only one thing to do..finish them.

Advanced Artificial Intelligence:
· As well as having new opponents with thier own intelligence, agression and racing skills, Carmageddon 2 - Carpocalypse Now also boasts new in-game A.I. This means new obstacles such as civilian cars and pedestrians will react for example to stop signs, crossing lights and even follow some driving etiquette.

Other features:
· Improved network play - This will range from the new network games such as "The Vampire Game" to the addiction of serial/modem link. At last you can take on players across the Internet.
· Ever heard of diving drivers ? Well, if your car is hit hard enough, the last thing that will go through your mind will be the windscreen.
· New and exciting power-ups that include; the ability to drop mines, to open your car doors (to catch those fast moving animals), the option to have your own little barbecue by emptying petrol over opponents, pedestrians and animals alike and then kick in your cars afterburner and..well, you can work out the rest.
· An introducery warm-up level to allow new and seasoned psycho's alike, to prepare for the carnage ahead.
· You wanted it, you got it. You can now save your best skills, stunts, and crashes. The Action Replays can be saved to disc and compared with other maniacs across the Internet or via E-mail.
· Carmageddon 2 - Carpocalypse Now will offer full support for all common 3D accelerator cards giving 640x480-screen resolution with 16 million colours.
