But no one making a modern shooter is going to half-ass the mouse support the way the Carmageddon devs have half-assed their controller support. Believe it or not, we even used to play Doom with our keyboards.
CARMAGEDDON 2 REVIEW PC
The half-assed controller support makes it clear this was made by a bunch of PC dudes who haven’t played a lot of driving games since the days when we drove with our keyboards. But whereas Fury Road is an inspired fever dream of new ways to climb around on a speeding tractor-trailer rig, Carmageddon: Reincarnation is mostly a retread. Police cars joining the fray are also new. The power-ups-on-demand is a new feature, letting you duck into a menu to buy whatever powerup you want once you’ve earned the money.

I’m sure some of these power-ups are new.

More Fury Road similarities come to mind as you rediscover Carmageddon: Reincarnation’s crazy cars and crazier action, mostly ported intact from the 1997 original. Too bad the same can’t be said for the totally adequate Carmageddon: Reincarnation. I always chose the chick, so can you blame me for getting confused? Besides, Fury Road is a stunning example of a moribund franchise kicked back into high gear with fully upgraded modern sensibilities. The dude in Carmageddon is named Max, isn’t he? Max Damage, I see now from the character select screen. It’s awfully magnanimous of developer Stainless Games to buy ad space to congratulate George Miller for the amazing spectacle of Mad Max: Fury Road. The banner ads for Carmageddon: Reincarnation read “Max is back!”.
