Demolition Racer

Back on the PS1 there where some great racers and this was one that I had some of the best times playing.

It is easy to pass Demolition racer off as just a Destruction Derby clone but it seemed to have so much more.

It did have a few flaws but it easily made up for that with the sheer variety, 5 Different game modes where available (2 from the start)and they ranged from the Standard demolition and last man standing to modes like chicken which had you driving head on into an opposing car(This mode was great with 2 players).

The game also gave you 8 cars/vans to choose from each one of them able to be customized with different paints and stickers allowing you to personalize your car.

The handling didn't feel as tight as it did in Destruction Derby but there was a certain joy about being to easily roll an opponents car and some time smash them way down the track.

Demolition racer is a great game and you should definitely try to pick it up as it should only cost a couple of pounds now
