Racing games can either be developed as hardcore simulators, or with simple arcade mechanics to accommodate everyone. However, the latter must also bring something new to the table, because it is not enough just to provide the players with a non-realistic driving experience and expect them to have fun, without anything else to sweeten the deal.
Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage has the right idea when it comes to extra features, since it compensates for the lack of realism through enormous quantities of fun and huge explosions. Hence, while the cars may not respond very accurately to the laws of physics, you can distract yourself with car-mounted artillery and a variety of other traps that can be laid out on the track for your opponents to stumble into.
Moreover, the game also comes with a Story mode, in which you get to start from the basics and move on to the more serious races, as well as drive better and better cars as you advance through the campaign. The vehicles can be upgraded with new engines and a variety of other parts, in order to make them go faster and handle better when you don’t have enough money for a new car.
The special weapons can be used in very much the same way they were used in the old Re-Volt, with the exception that these are not RC cars and they do take a lot of damage from any kind of exploding projectile. Speaking of which, your car can be totaled during the race and forced to leave the tournament, but on the other hand, you have the option to do the same to your opponents.
Lastly, the graphics quality is more than decent as well, although you certainly won’t be amazed by them. The vehicles are detailed and they can get pretty banged up after a few crashes and explosions, although you can also pick-up repair kits and make it like brand new again in an instant. Sound-wise, the soundtrack is about as adrenaline-infused as you imagine, but not extraordinary.
All things considered, Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage truly is fun and you can forget about yourself for a few races, especially if you are enjoying it with friends over the Internet. However, the story more is entertaining as well, since the A.I. can hold its own and provide you with quite the challenge.
