The game features anarchic drive-wherever-you-like gameplay and over-the-top surreal comedy violence. It’s the racing game where racing is for wimps.Now the same Mac & PC classic that was BANNED AROUND THE WORLD is back and available on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch!Carmageddon features real-world environments that have been turned into killing fields, where the locals stay out on the streets at their peril. As well as using your car as a weapon, every level is sprinkled generously with power-ups that have a vast variety of mad effects, adding a whole extra level of craziness to the proceedings. In every event you have the option to “play it your way”… Waste all your opponents, kill every pedestrian, or (perish the thought) complete all the laps.THE FREE VERSION FEATURES:• 5 dangerously deranged Opponents• One event and Environment: Maim Street, in Bleak City• The Eagle (Driver Max Damage)• Universal App• Multiple control methods: digital, analogue (mix ‘n’ match), tilt• Edit your control layout in game to your preferences• Comprehensive Action Replay System• Movie editing; Save your movies straight from the game to YouTube; Share links using iOS 6• Retina display and iPhone 5 support• Environment maps and other special effects• Enhanced pre-lit environment• Buckets of gibs• Tons of laughsUPGRADE TO THE FULL VERSION FOR:• Career Mode featuring 36 satisfyingly violent Levels• 28 dangerously deranged Opponents• 11 wildly exhilarating Environments• Race and Wreck opponents to unlock 30 playable cars!• iCloud Support• Game Center integration• 27 Cunning Stuntworthy Achievements• LeaderboardsPlus the opportunity to make in app purchases to unlock ALL the cars (apart from the secret one) and ALL the races!Carmageddon requires iOS 5.1 or later.AWARDS AND RECOGNITION FOR THE ORIGINAL GAMECarmageddon won the “Game of the Year” trophy in the 1997 PC Zone Reader awards. Carmageddon 1 & 2 were “Driving Game of the Year” 1997/1998.SELECTED REVIEWS OF THE ORIGINAL GAMEOriginally released for the PC in 1997, Carmageddon was an instant hit and the titles went on to sell over 2 million copies worldwide. Here’s what a sample of the gaming press thought at the time:“Carmageddon is visceral, violent, vehicular fun...” - GameSpot 8.8 out of 10“Carmageddon, to get straight to the point, is one of the best computer games I've ever played… Carmageddon is God!” - Duncan McDonald 95% Classic Award PC Zone Magazine“Carmageddon is one of those games that only come along once in a blue moon. An essential purchase.” - Escape Magazine 6 out of 6“The gameplay is spot on and anyone with a dark enough sense of humour should give it a go.” - Computer Gaming World 4 out of 5“So next time you gun down coppers on GTA VI, just remember, Carmageddon’s controversy was there first, and you have a lot to thank it for.” - RetroGardenABOUT STAINLESS GAMESStainless was founded in 1994 by Patrick Buckland, a veteran of the games industry going back to the Jurassic period of 1982, and Neil Barnden, who used to have hair like a mammoth. A team of 8 worked on the original Carmageddon at Stainless, and 5 are still with the company today, although a couple of them are now kept manacled in a small padded room in the cellar.Stainless Games now employs well over fifty mad, dedicated people of assorted gender, height and width. They can all be found dangling precariously from a small chalky rock just off the South Coast of England.

Not that I mind paying the $1.99 asking price, but it's been less than 24 hours since it hit New Zealand.

Is it because the handling for the first start up car not good to start with?

Are you using iCloud and has Game Center been logged on while in-game (have you ever logged out of GC after game was installed on device?) I'll also tell the devs on Twitter to see if they know about this issue. chkenwing Member Jan 23, 2012 7 0 1 #113 chkenwing, Oct 18, 2012 The music quality is also a direct carbon copy of the quality from the original XD Zemar Well-Known Member Dec 1, 2009 462 0 16 Denmark #114 Zemar, Oct 18, 2012 Last edited: Oct 18, 2012 I found helpful info about the Save problem in the Carmageddon forum: http://www.carmageddon.com/forum/topic/21558 Edit: But it is actually a bug... riChchestMat Well-Known Member Oct 11, 2010 210 0 0 London http://richchestmat.tumblr.com #115 riChchestMat, Oct 18, 2012 I just lost my save game too and I was signed into Game Centre all the time. That link that suggests being signed out of Game Centre isn't the fix for this at all. Why isn't the game relying on the local save game? I never installed this on my iPhone - just running it on my iOS 6 iPad 2. While I'm here... easy mode is way too easy. Much easier than the PC version. It's impossible to fail. heppi1234 Well-Known Member Sep 12, 2012 134 0 0 #116 heppi1234, Oct 18, 2012 Try slowing down for a corner lol awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #117 awp69, Oct 18, 2012 You could try switching to analog and using the slider to make it more responsive. I used analog for a while but went back to digital. The original played the same way so it takes some getting used to. nicoga3000 Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2010 420 0 0 Structural Engineer Indianapolis, IN #118 nicoga3000, Oct 18, 2012 Last edited: Oct 18, 2012 So is the save game bug being looked into then? I had a few cars unlocked, so that was a major bummer to have lost that progress. I won't be touching this or recommending it to anyone until it gets fixed... E: Devs need to either make sure their save feature is perfect for cloud work OR just do local with cloud backup options. That would make things much more user friendly. Dead Trigger seems to have done this perfectly well. Keitch83 Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2010 226 0 0 #119 Keitch83, Oct 18, 2012 Fantastic game but loss of save file has seriously annoyed me. Does anyone know if its possible to retrieve it once the bug is fixed or is it more likely I've lost it forever? If this game wasn't so damn good I'd be truly F'd off by now. nicoga3000 Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2010 420 0 0 Structural Engineer Indianapolis, IN #120 nicoga3000, Oct 18, 2012 From the link Zemar posted: (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
