I hear that some of the developers who worked on Destruction Derby 2 had a hand in this game. If this is not true, they did a great job of imitating aspects of that game. So if you enjoyed the Destruction Derby games, you are sure to enjoy this. Let me get right to the point about Demolition Racer. I thought it was a fun game to play. It is not the prettiest game around but it is still a blast.

You can round up your buddies for a night of two-player smash 'em up and you will get quite a few hours of the game. So there you have it. If you want to stop reading now, you know how I feel about the game. If you care to read about the specifics of what I liked and did not like, continue on. The first thing that really sticks out to me in this game is the number of different modes you can play.

I played the majority of games in the Demolition League. This has you start off with the beginners league and work your way through the races. You only have to place fifth in points more on this a bit later to continue on to the next race.

Once you finish all of the races, you will open up the Semi-Pro League. In this league, you have to finish in at least third place in points to move on. After clearing all of these races, you open up the Pro League. This makes you come in first place on every race to advance. To make it more difficult, you can only choose from one of the cars. If you manage to beat this, the Endurance League opens up. I have not opened this up yet so I am not totally sure what makes it different I'm almost there.

The different leagues are only one part of the game. There is a totally different type of racing in here as well, found under Single Race. You can race a demolition, which is just a single race version of a League race. Nothing different there. The first mode that is different is called The Chase.

The point of this race is to finish the race in first place points do not matter. This requires you to actually avoid contact. The next mode is called Chicken. This has you racing on a track with racers going in opposite directions. You can slam into other racers to slow them down but the ultimate goal is crossing the finish line first. The next mode is called Last Man Standing. For those of you who cannot figure it out, the object of this is to be the last running vehicle.

You will get points for smashing other cars but the objective is to keep your car running. The last mode is called Suicide. This is the exact opposite as the last mode. The object of this mode is to be the fastest to total your car. The point is, there are enough modes in this game that they could have almost broken it out into two separate games.

Okay, I keep talking about points so I guess that is what I should explain next. During the races, you will score points by inflicting damage on other racers. There are a number of different ways to score points and they range anywhere from five up to 65 that was the highest I remember seeing but the manual does say that you can land on top of a car and get a one-hit kill and score big points.

So in League Racing, there are two objectives -- scoring points and crossing the finish line in a high position. Why does crossing the finish line in a high position matter? Because at the end of the race, your points are multiplied by a magnifier that is determined by your finishing position. For example, if you finish in first place, your total points will be multiplied by If you finish if third place, your points are multiplied by 20, etc.

This made it so you actually had to seek out confrontations and collisions because if you just raced ahead of the pack and won first place, you would still not win the race because your points would be too low. This was such a great way to encourage contact. The bottom line is that if you want to win, you have to smash other cars.

Now you are probably thinking that this sounds easy enough. Just smash cars on your way around the track and you should clean up. Not always true.

See, smashing your car actually does damage to it. You have a little damage meter that tells you how much more damage your car can take.

Oh yeah, did I mention the other cars are trying to ram you as well? The tricky part is finding a good balance of racing and smashing so you can finish high enough with enough points to win. If you go all out trying to just score points, you will either total your car before the end of the race or you will finish the race too low and your multiplier will be too low. The game does have an option where you can turn on power-ups.

There are boxes placed on the track that would fix some of the damage to your car, make you invincible for a short period or just give you points. There is also an exploding box so you need to be careful. I actually liked playing with the power-ups because they did a great job of placing them on the tracks in out of the way locations. They are not easy to get and you will usually wind up paying in lost time for getting them.

Plus, they helped keep me aggressive throughout the entire race. I do have a couple of complaints with the game. Nothing really major but they still bothered me a little. First, I never felt like I got nailed as hard as I nailed the computer-controlled opponents. I would ram them and send them flying in huge spins and rolls.

This very rarely happened to me when I got hit. There were a few occasions when I would get rammed into a wall but nothing like the hurt I put on the other people. Half of the fun is getting slammed yourself. Another minor complaint is that the controls could be a bit touchy,. They were not bad but they were just a little bit on the touchy side. Finally, I was disappointed because they show all of the locked cars right up front. I like winning and being surprised to see what I get next.

This took the whole surprise away.
