You were warned… It's coming…. The most controversial driving game in PC gaming history is about to smash its way onto the Nintendo 64. SCi announces the release of their killer car title Carmageddon 64.
Both Carmageddon and Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now! were released amongst a media storm of controversy, with calls to "ban this killer car game" from the media and governments around the world. Both games then went on to prove their critics wrong by scooping a body bag full of awards and high review scores from around the globe. Carmageddon 64 will feature many of the exciting and blood curdling features of Carmageddon 2 as well as many unique features only seen on this platform. This title is guaranteed to be one of, if not the most, nastiest messiest game on the N64.
Carmageddon 64 sees you pit your wits and wheels against 20 other maniac drivers over 37 levels through 10 completely different racing environments in your quest to become the King of carnage. Just as its PC predecessors did before, Carmageddon 64 is set to bring exceptional game play that surpasses all other driving games in terms of realism, freedom of movement and sheer playability.
