For years people have been clamoring for a demolition derby game that is true to the sport. No power ups. No killing pedestrians. Just a real demolition derby simulation. Cars crashing, stalling, restarting, flipping, denting, engines smoking and steaming in a way that puts you right in the driver's seat. This is that game.
There is nothing more American than stock car racing (other than baseball, football, and apple pie). Of course, a majority of the people who extensively watch stock car racing (and most car racing in general) are just waiting for the crashes. To simplify the process and cut straight to the chase, we are presented with Demolition Derby, a sport which encompasses all of the ideals that we hold dear: lots and lots of crashes. There have been several titles in the computer et which have offered their take on this strange and compelling sport, but none have treated it realistically, usually adding power-ups, pedestrians, and the sort.
That is, until now! Demolition Derby & Figure 8 Race, despite being a very descriptive and very long name, features all the crashing goodness that we have come to know in (not surprisingly) demolition derbies. So, will Demolition Derby win the elusive cup, or end up a smoking heap of ineptitude?
