Still crazy after all these years!
I owned and played this back when it was first released:Recently, I had a yen to find it and play it again. I did, and it'sstill as gruesomely funny as it was back then.Though not as freeform as Carmageddon, Carmageddon TDR2000 is still rippingly entertaining.It's also a whole lot prettier than the blocky and indistinct dos-based graphics of the series' progenitor.You also don't need a 'Ninja PC' to be able to run it!I'm running it in Vista, and all it needs is for you to set this up in Win95 compatibility mode.It's still here, it's still mad as a fish and I love it!****Important - do not use this game as reference/driving practice for your UK driving test!****

Excellent
I got hold of 4 copies of this in a well-known Game shop for 99p each. I run one on a server and the other 3 on pc's around the home with my mate, my eldest son and me playing and boy do we laugh so much. It's a pity that in multiplayer that there are no pedestrians and also that it must have one cd per machine. There isn't a no-cd patch anywhere for this.As far as the missions are concerned that too was a good laugh but it takes some time to decide on which is the best all-round car for most maps.I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes a good laugh, but if you can network it then DO!

epic game!
the playability of this game is amazing i bought it well over a year ago and i still play it today. mowing down pedestrians has never been more thrilling. the best bit is the replays, they can be record to view whenever you feel like it. races are great and missions are challenging. excellent game!

The horrible death of a previously outstanding series
As a longtime fan of the Carmageddon series, I have been and remain quite disappointed with this third incarnation, no matter how hard I try to like it. Carmageddon has always been about running amuck on city streets, in construction zones, and through mountain communities, running over cows and men and grannies with stretchers, and pulverizing your opponents. Carmageddon is all about racing, "challenging" missions, and frustration. If you try to play the game as it is apparently designed to be played, you cannot possibly have any fun. You start out with a limited time and have to struggle to add any bonus time before your experience is aborted way too early. The map feature, which was quite good in Carmageddon 2, is cartoonish and aggravating. The powerups and surprise bonuses along the way aren't very impressive or extensive (although the designers unfortunately felt compelled to leave the silly Bouncy Bouncy feature in the game). The racing environments are nowhere near as extensive as I was used to, which is a further criticism I have of this game. The only new touch I really liked is the tendency of pedestrians to jump around on one leg after you put the other one out of commission; overall, though, running over pedestrians here is just not as much fun as it should be.The fatal flaw here is the emphasis on objective missions. It takes so long to figure out the challenge race and somehow miraculously complete it that your disgust with the whole business overweighs any excitement you may have about finally getting a chance to race on a new track. It is hard enough to figure out what you are supposed to do, let alone do it in the minimal time allotted. Once you think you have it, another extra requirement pops up to dash your hopes; if you could save a race or challenge during the action, it would do much to help alleviate the problem. This game really betrays the wonderfully fun Carmageddon tradition and makes this a game quite unable to offer enough positives to outweigh the many negatives. The result is the death of a great gaming series.
