Parent Pro-Tip

Carmageddon is a highly violent game, though the violence is cartoonish and comedic. Consider if your child is mature enough to differentiate between this fictional violence and real-world consequences. Discuss the game's satirical nature and reinforce the unacceptability of such actions in reality. Monitor for any desensitization to violence.

What your child develops

Carmageddon offers an over-the-top, comedic driving experience focused on destruction and mayhem. It can be engaging for players who enjoy arcade-style racing with a twist of dark humor. The game encourages strategic thinking in how to eliminate opponents and pedestrians, and sharpens hand-eye coordination and reaction time due to its fast-paced action.

About this game

Carmageddon is the original freeform driving sensation, where pedestrians (and cows! ) equal points, and your opponents are a bunch of crazies in a twisted mix of automotive killing machines.
