How it plays
How does Carmageddon play?
Races are viewed from behind the player’s vehicle. Each event usually provides several possible routes and multiple ways to finish: complete the required laps, eliminate opponents, or run down the allotted pedestrian targets.
The player steers through urban, rural, and industrial spaces while collecting power-ups, using ramps and shortcuts, avoiding hazards, and managing vehicle damage. Winning events unlocks additional races and improves access to vehicles and upgrades. Opponent cars can be attacked directly or forced into environmental dangers.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Carmageddon?
Learn each course before chasing opponents. Completing laps is often safer than pursuing destruction, especially when the player’s vehicle is badly damaged.
Use ramps, narrow passages, traffic, and fixed hazards to attack heavier opponents. Collect power-ups when the route is safe, and preserve vehicle strength for the final section of long events.
