GAME ON! WAYS TO TEAR UP THE TRACK
WRECKIN’ RACING
The main mode in almost all the games sees you competing for podium positions as well as scoring points by spinning and wrecking competitors. So even if you finish second in a race, there’s a still chance to steal the top spot if you’ve caused enough damage along the way.
DESTRUCTION DERBY
The Bowl in the original Destruction Derby was added at the last minute by Reflections, but it became one of the most memorable parts of the game. In the ‘Destruction Derby’ mode, 20 cars fight for survival in this circular arena, and later games added more elaborate stages as time went on.
CAPTURE THE FLAG
Making its debut in Destruction
Derby 64, CTF was a two-on-two battle to nab your opponent’s pennant and deliver it back to your base without getting wrecked. Four players can play in splitscreen, but with two players the computer takes control of your team’s other car.
PASS DA BOMB
Bomb Tag turned up first in Destruction Derby 64, and it was reworked for Pass Da Bomb in Destruction Derby Raw. The idea is to offload the explosive that appears above your car by smashing into foes before the timer ticks down.
SKYSCRAPER
Destruction Derby Raw added battles on top of tall buildings that have an alarming lack of safety barriers. Battles naturally involve attempting to nudge your friends and/or enemies off the edge without tumbling into oblivion yourself.
ASSAULT
This fast-paced mode on a circular track sees you race in a team with an indestructible Humvee. The aim is to protect your Humvee and keep it in first place for as long as possible, at the same time as attacking the other teams’ Humvees in order to knock them down the rankings.
