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.
