One of the best driving games ever. Seriously.
I remember how i started playing it. First i got demo, and when i ran it, the first thing that surprised my was interface - it was terrible, with this bleeding hand, it sickened me. Then i loaded the demo level and it was like - "wtf is this" - the graphics were so outdated (it was the year of 2000). I started to drive and noticed the first few pedestrians, then i realised that these pedestrians were meant to smash. Oh god, i started to feel so bad that i momentarily exited the demo and uninstalled it. After about two months i got the full version of this game and as i didn't have anything else to play at that moment i decided to give it a try and i thank god about this because it became one of my favourite games ever. When i started to drive for the first time and noticed the first pedestrian i thought - "come on, it's just a stupid pc game" and drove over him. Then i drove over the second, the third... And realised that it was fun and it wasn't cruel at all (i hate cruelty). I know it is hard to understand how smashing pedestrians can't be cruel but you really have to try this game to understand it. I just can't describe it.
This game has a very beautiful soul, fantastic atmosphere and the freedom that it gives is unbelievable. Once more, this game ISN'T ABOUT SMASHING PEDESTRIANS, it's about the DREAM OF PC DRIVING GAMES' PLAYER.
P.S. Carmageddon 2&3 are crap, don't even try them.
