Carmageddon™The Death Race 2000 is another title in the stunning, award winning Carmageddon™ series on PC. However, this is not just a sequel!
Carmageddon™The Death Race 2000 has been developed with world leading technology. The focus of the game is centred round fast action gameplay in a completely new 'immersive' environment, which is far more advanced than in previous Carmageddon™ games. The humour of the game surpasses that of previous releases, and just imagine, aggressive zombies! In short, nothing like this has been seen before.
Players will be able to customise vehicles and pedestrians from the start of the game (e.g. car colours and decal). A sophisticated editing tool outside of the game will also allow for more complex editing e.g. creation of new vehicles, Zombies etc.
Over the last two years, SCi has been working on a next generation racing engine. Already, this engine achieves twice the frame rate as Carmageddon II™ on the same hardware. Combined with the revolutionary physics engine first seen in Carmageddon II™, this title is set to redefine racing games - on any PC!
And on-line...
Carmageddon™The Death Race 2000 will be the first in the Carmageddon™ series to be designed from the ground up for on-line Internet playing. With unique on-line arenas and play modes, this game is going to keep those telephone lines engaged for many long hours! And of course these levels will be full of highly charged AI computer players whose only purpose in life is to see you smash, crumple and burn.
