Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“It’s honestly heartbreaking for me to write this review. I was deeply invested in this game because Carmageddon 97 was one of my biggest escapes during childhood—not only introducing me a darker/dystopic world in the first hand, but also…”
“Fun for the first several hours. Once you get to the harder stages, the difficulty gets to be obnoxious. You rely on a select few powerups, while the rest are completely useless. The farther you get, the more similar your car gets to paper…”
