Evil-Dog responds:

thanks amigo
the something zombie game on NG? awesome! haha

One of NG's best games

This is one of the greatest games I have ever played on Newgrounds! It is extremely well polished and incredibly fun. I was planning to play for 10mins and ended up playing for over an hour!
The graphics are excellent, the voice work is top notch, and the gameplay is addicting! The story was very good too, I enjoyed being able to listen to the military and hear as everything went to hell!
The upgrades were nice, although I felt that perception wasn't worth the amount of points you had to put into it. I was too busy steering to watch the map up top.
The only thing I would change is the key layout. Its hard to push E or R when you're driving because you need the index finger to steer to the right. So you have to choose between steering or honking your horn. Maybe you could move those two keys to the other side of the key board? The right hand isn't doing anything.
All in all a solid game that I believe will be long remembered as one of the best to come through the portal.

Thanks for the good review, you can change the controls in the options

i love it

great game, only a few things detracted from it much.

the main being the edges of your car's front end/bumper are pretty much impossible to accurately judge, in other words if you try to go down a lane with cars in the lanes on both sides but the middle of the three lanes clear you usually hit one of the side lane cars whether you want to or not.

the explosives in the road ahead of you are pretty aggravating too, the first section with them is where i decided i wasn't going to bother to finish since i'd pretty much finished all the car (not driver) upgrades already at that point, had 2 perceptions left, 1 body armor, 2 firearm and the last rank of tires available so i figured i was done as i hardly ever wind up needing the firearm in the first place and the first two body armor don't seem to make much difference at all and the perception was more of screen clutter and a waste of points than useful.

i got to admit though, with all that said, this game was a lot of fun and i hope to see a sequel, you get points for making me nostalgic about carmageddon also.

lastly and this is entirely minor, but it would have been nice to see if every upgrade affect the car visually, most did i notice, but even the rank 3 engine doesn't change it's look at all.

if you do a sequel, which i hope you do, it would be cool to have it so you can pick from different styles of car or truck at the beginning too, like a pickup, sportscar, etc and have the car you pick determine how you'll handle the zombies and such a bit.

9/10 stars
5/5 rating.

Evil-Dog responds:

omg carmageddon was soooooooooo cool haha
you have some valid gameplay points that we're surely consider applying to the sequel. At this point, changing any kind of core gameplay value could totally unbalance the game. BUt we're still all ear to make our next games better :D

O.O

review

The BEST driving game on NG and most likely the best zombie game save for the "choose your own adventure" zombie town escape game who's name i cannot remember. EXCELLENT WORK. A reverse gear would be nice though. BTW when i was taught to drive, I was told to know the dimensions of my vehicle. In this game the dimensions (width-wise) are off quite a bit.

Evil-Dog responds:

Reverse yeah, the goal was always to go fast though so we didn't feel it was a necessary feature :D
Yeah I think we'll make the car's collision more forgiving in a sequel, we always learn!
