What is Carmageddon (Series)?

Carmageddon is a classic vehicular combat video game series first released in 1997. The goal is to race opponents through wildly imaginative post-apocalyptic inspired environments while scoring points by destroying the other cars as well as mowing down the pedestrians wandering the streets.

Players can choose from a selection of increasingly powerful and durable vehicles, then customize them with weapons like spinning blades, mines, flamethrowers, and power-ups like extra armor, invisibility, or extra damage. Races take place in open world environments filled with city streets, countryside roads, industrial areas, farms, beaches, and more.

The game is known for its over-the-top violence and gory, destructive action as cars explode into gibs and pedestrians get smashed through the air. It has a tongue-in-cheek style and dark, irreverent humor to offset the brutality of the gameplay. Various power-ups and secrets are hidden around each map for discovery and mayhem.

There have been several Carmageddon sequels released over the years that build on the core gameplay with new environments, cars, weapons, graphical updates, online multiplayer support. It remains popular today thanks to its enjoyably visceral, no-holds-barred racing action.
