I feel like in today’s society, some of these guys would be immediately taken to task by the PC crowd (and no, I’m not talking Lord Gaben‘s minions). You’ll be getting to know them intimately, whether you want to or not.īeing that this game came out at the turn of the new millennium, we get some of your usual (unusual?) archetypes for our destructive pleasure. I’m sure “cartoon violence” was used in the ESRB rating somewhere along the way. For casual reference, it’s kind of like Mario Kart, but more violent and cartoon-y. In said matches, weapons tied to each vehicle as well as environmental and timed pick-ups are available to dish out punishment to the other players in hopes of earning victory. Cel Damage is a TV show where actors (contestants?) battle it out in their custom-to-them vehicles in races, capture the flag, and demolition matches for fame and glory, as well as the benefit of audiences’ entertainment. The premise of Cel Damage HD is a simple, but neat one.
Luckily, the game has been re-released in HD for current consoles and I’ve been given a chance to relive the experience again. I guess I’ve played too many games and this was bumped out of my mind. Since those days of racing and destruction have been over, I’d unfortunately forgotten just about everything I knew about this game. A game I owned on Xbox (at launch) and later down the line on GameCube to play with my cousins, where I’d destroy their young egos with cartoon-y mayhem. This was a game that didn’t get the best critical acclaim ( not these guys), but under the right circumstances, could be just what you were looking for. When these 2 things formed an alliance together, we were treated with Cel Damage in 2001. Cel shading was also starting to take its place in gaming around the turn of the century.
Vehicular combat games are nothing new today, but they were all the rage in the days of the PlayStation 1 and 2, N64, GameCube, Dreamcast, and Xbox.
