Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Split-Screen multiplayer
Pro Power-up system allows for tactical gameplay
The game includes highly devastating power-ups that can be collected and swapped between to deploy at the most opportune moment. Choosing what power-ups to hold on to, when to use which and in what order requires quickly assessing the situations and making up plans on the fly.
Pro Multiple modes
Simple race (no power-ups), power-up racing (like mario kart), or destruction derby (more confined space, non linear, hit opponents with power-ups for score).
Pro Great damage mechanics
It's possible to thoroughly damage and destroy each vehicle in the game. And the game highly encourages such behaviour with one of the more commonly achieved winning conditions being to destroy the competition.
Pro Public beta released
As of February 14th 2015 the public beta has been released for Carmageddon: Reincarnation. This includes all cars, levels and multiplayer, the full game.
Cons
Con PC port could have been better
The menu's have no way to navigate via mouse, the controller support is spotty and the keybindings are fixed.
Con In early access
The game is currently in pre-alpha development stage and as such is poorly optimized, buggy and unstable.
