I have Carmageddon 1 currently installed, but i haven't played it much since i started replaying TDR. TDR2000 tweaked the car physics (so now the cars can be controlled and raced), reduced the insane amount of time you got from killing, made the races challenging, added fun missions with a sense of progression, and finally made a game out of the series. Carmageddon 1 and 2 are fun to mess around in, with the ridiculous physics and laid back gameplay, but they feel like toys not games. It feels more like a racing game, has great levels, great powerups and a ton of cars and its fun and re-playable. Easy to to gain time and easy to waste them. All i had to do before was loiter around somewhere and all the opponents will come to me.

The opponents do come after you, but not as much as before, which again is an improvement. Peds attacking you, thtrowing stuff at you, avoiding you much better, makes the game unpredictable and challenging. Or putting harmful power ups in tight spaces. It's a challening game and you need to pay attention to the layout.

And if you wanted to just roam around killing things (like every single 'race' in the orignals ended up), there was free ride. The reduced bonus times mean that you should actually race in TDR, there is a risk of messing up and having to restart, you have to pay attention to getting the good power ups and avoiding the bad, had to pay attention to your driving, the opponents, the traffic and had to hunt and get the time powerups. And then what? There was no point to race, you just went around wasting opponents. It was very easy to amass lots of time by going over peds and hitting opppents. The tweaked physics in TDR are for the better if you wanted some racing, not just fooling around. The cars were too heavy, too hard to steer, with too much momentum. While the original two were fun, it was impossible to actually race there.

At least it was ambitious and tried changings things up. I know the store page is meant to be funny and all, but come on, Stainless couldnt even COPY their own game from 15 years ago with Reincarnation, while TDR2000, released just a couple years later, surpassed both Carma 1 and 2, and yet Stainless have the nerve to bash it.
