Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Cel Damage pits a cast of crazy toons against each other in maxed-out, weapon-laden vehicles: you must outmaneuver, outrace, and outsmack all others for personal glory. From a Tommy-gun-totin' gangster duck to a diminutive demon with a woodchipper, these gas-powered gladiators battle it out across 12 highly interactive environments. Authentically cartoony weapons include giant boxing gloves, baseball bats, axes, and chainsaws. A stylish cel-shaded look and a "stretch and squish" physics engine make it seem as though all the wild action is taking place in an actual cartoon episode. There are six playable characters and four guest stars you can unlock. You can even smash your friends in four-player split-screen action.

Among the game modes is Smack Attack, a straightforward deathmatch that challenges each toon to smack the heck out of the other cast members to earn smack points. The character with the most points at the end of the match wins. Another mode, Flag Rally, is the toon version of capture the flag. A toon must collect four flags and make it to the winner's circle to be victorious. The catch is that these flags are on the move, alive and kickin' on their own two feet and trying to avoid capture. In Gate Relay, two checkpoints are set up within the course. The first toon to pass each checkpoint five times is the winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Impressing Game, November 13, 2001

This review is from: Cel Damage (Video Game)

I got the first issue of the Xbox Magazine, and it came with a dvd that you can watch to see the making of Xbox and some previews of the games. When I went to check out Cel Damage, I thought of, and I'm not offending in any way, Eric0404's review, it said that this game was disappointing. I totally disagree with him, the only downfall in this game is that it's one of those Twisted Metal types of games, you go around and use weapons to destroy your enemy, that happens to be a person or thing driving a car. But I can't just say that, infact, I love the cartoonish graphics. Just like in the Simpson's Road Rage game coming out for Xbox. I also have to say that you can get a large aray of weapons, including Bombs, An Axe, Machine Guns, and a whole bunch of destructive weapons. Not only is this game for all ages, it's fun to play with the family on a holiday or just for a family night. Well, I hope that this review helped you all out, it did for me. I am also going to get this game. Find more about me in my Know More About Me area.

5.0 out of 5 stars great game, November 22, 2001

This review is from: Cel Damage (Video Game)

Bash together frantic gameplay, meticulously cel shaded visuals that give this game it's cartoon look, highly interactive Looney Tunes environments, insane dog eat dog multiplay minus loading lags, and you've got an excellent sleeper hit with a god auful title for Xbox. At first, be prepared to get constantly run over, axed in half, blown to bits, or flapjack flattened by a bunch of maniacal cartoons inrubbery vehicles. But give it a chance. Once you get the hang of that plump Xbox controller, and figure out what's going on, Cel Damage gets to be a damn good time in no time. Everything's cel shaded down to the last tiny stick of lit dynamite, and works extremely well with the cartoony look. Cel's levels are some of the most interactive you've ever seen for a shooter racer, meaning suprises ranging from space warp tunnels to jungle vines you can swing on await you,as well as tons of level prop objects that react um, explode rather, When you've crashed through them. Vehicaland taunts to match, also add a lot of personality and humor. So what's not cool about Cel? Only three match types racing, deathmatch and capture the flag style play. Still, that may be plenty considering Cel's got two and four player splitscreen options, and lots of unlockable levels. So there you have it. My only other complaint? Cramping in my left hand from playing too much.

"hey, i'm a pee-wee!"

i said these words after 't-wrecks' hit me in the swamp battle with his shrink ray, and my 8 year old fell off the couch laughing. so did i. i've never had so much fun getting the bejeesus smacked out of me. but it wasn't long until i started doing a little smacking myself.

yeah i'm 40 years old and yeah the pace for this cartoon is manic, but it's a crackup all the same. for all you fogies out there, if you can type 40 words per minute, then you've got all the fast twitch muscles you need for this video game. even if you can't there are also weapons for stealth and ambush. but most of all, you're just going to bust up laughing. if you grew up with bugs bunny, this is *your* kind of cartoon.

the environments are great fun too. there are transporters and tornados that whip you silly from one end to the other for a quick escape. all of cartoon physics are in full effect here. you hover in mid-air for a moment, then fall off the cliff. the weapons are hilarity themselves. the boxing gloves are fun, but i really like the harpoon's effect. still, nothing beats a huge hammer.

i dont' think i'll soon tire of this one. even when you sit around and get whacked it's hilarious. i'm really glad that the snarky remarks made by the characters are PG rated. for a while, i wanted them to be more harsh, but on the whole i'm glad they aren't.

smashing fun!!
