Destruction Derby 1 and 2 and also Whiplash (along with GTA 1 the original top-down one) were my go-to games for quite a number of years - when I wasn't playing (or making maps for) the original Doom/Doom II. However, I am quite thankful I get to relive that good old game again (well I could put it in DosBox but I lost the CD 15~20 years ago). There's not enough of these destruction derbies available for BeamNG Drive, as that wouldn't be humanly possible. While I'm not the best derby driver out there by long and far, these are very much one of my favorite things to do when playing maps. The graphics even look good on my HP notebook without a 3D card.5/ 5, Version: 1.1 I used to play this on my Cyrix 6x86 PR-150+ 120mhz (OC'ed via jumpers to PR-166+ 133mhz for Quake fps) quite often when I was in highschool in the 90's. If you like the first game, you will probably like this sequel even more. Overall, Destruction Derby 2 is a must-have for fans of demolition racing. This lets you select the part you want to repair and try to "pump out" the damage as fast as you can since you only have five seconds. Fortunately, you can now access the new "pit stop" feature after a certain amount of damage. You not only can see little details in the tracks and scenery, but also animated spectators who will run for their lives when a car crashes over the wall ) Damage presentation is much more parts-specific this time around: you will notice exploding radiators, flying fenders, engine fires, and more. The graphics, as mentioned earlier, is even better than the already-jaw-dropping original game. Multi-player now supports up to ten players for a truly madcap mayhem. You can even compete in the incredibly difficult "total destruction" bowls for competition play. You now can compete against up to 19 rival drivers across seven tracks (each longer and more detailed than the ones in Destruction Derby). It's essentially the same game, but with sharper graphics, smoother animations, and more of everything. The sameness is obviously not a bad thing in this case, because Psygnosis already had a hit on their hands with the first Destruction Derby. Gameplay-wise, DD2 is identical to the first game: your goal is to gain points by winning races or "creatively" crashing your opponents. Destruction Derby 2 is the arguably superior sequel to the original Destruction Derby that offers more of the same no-holds-barred action and mayhem with new tracks and many improvements and features not seen in the original, including a pit stop feature that allows you to (finally) repair your car.
