Product Description

Platform: PLAYSTATION 3

Mayhem is a fast paced arcade racing and car destruction game. The inspiration for the game comes from two distinct types of events: Demolition Derby and Banger Racing. A demolition derby is more of an American pastime, primarily at state fairs and the like. Participants take an old beat down car, strip it of all the glass and other "dangerous" elements, spray paint the car and decorate it to their liking, then beat it to death at the main event. The last vehicle standing is the victor. A Banger Race is more practiced in the UK. Races take place on small courses with pits and hills, and drivers are encouraged to send their opponents off course. Courses can have hazards and obstacles, and the "figure 8" shaped course is a staple of the race. No matter whether it's Banger races or demolition derbys, the fact is that everyone love to see the everyman take it to the mat and come out a victor, and that's what Mayhem is all about.

Normally this kind of game is a instant buy for me because I love Demolition Derby type games....Ever since Destruction Derby on the PS1 I have enjoyed them !

The graphics were so different I was hesitant to get this one....so I waited a few days and thought about it.....Decided to give it a try and I sure am glad I did !

They say that the gameplay makes the game, not the graphics and that is so true here....the gameplay....car handling....physics (for this type of game) are perfect....It had TONS of different tracks and styles of play, they are laid out in a comic book style....so as you progress you open a new comic book with challenges.

An example of one track is a Figure 8 that is laid out as 2 triangles instead of the rounded 8's....and inside of the figure 8 is a PIT...as you race you can push drivers into this pit in the corners...and they push you in there too !

I found myself actually enjoying the unique graphics too....initially I really wasn't sure....actually playing it looks much better than the little videos you see on websites for this game.

If you want a really FUN to play (challenging in the mid-later levels) game, this is for you !

when I bought this title I knew very little about it

and was concerned it would be a stinker. I was Wrong!!

it's a whole lot like the Destruction Derby series for ps1/ps2 and is more

fun then I've had with either Blur OR Split Second!

you have an amazing amount of tracks (that aim for wicked crashes like figure eights, hairpin turns, derby arenas, and more!!)

Loads of vehicles (one hundred and five I believe) lots of things to tweak

my only real worry was the Graphics since they are primarily Black & White with reds and yellows here & there. the Noir Graphical style is excellent for

this game type, multiplayer online is extreamly fun (8 player online)

playing matches such as "king of the hill" where you must Push opponents into a Pit!!! others have you crashing away to earn boosts to be able to

go to Ramming Speed!! (this has Much Mayhem Potential)

overall the game is probably the best Budget release yet and I Highly

recommend this to ANYONE that Loved the Destruction Derby Series!!

also has Local 2 Player Split Screen!

I gave this game such a High review score because,

it's the Most Fun I've had in a driving game in a long time.

it's quite like the old Destruction Derby series from PsOne/PS2

(with far superior graphics) the car destructability is really good, and the game is a kind of fun that games I thought had forgotten, that Pure Fun of arcades in the 80's well, this game captured it well and I highly recommend it

to the casual and hardcore gamer alike!

Graphics: B&W Noir style 4 1/2 stars

Sound: very good (though I could do without the announcer) 4 stars

Controls: Excellent and spot on for this type of game 5 of 5 stars

Fun: easily 5 stars! replay value here is Very High! especally with Local Split Screen!!

Overall: an extreamly solid title that you can choose to use 3D or not (a nice option) and it's so much fun I think I'd recommend this to everyone, kids and adults alike! a solid 5 Star Budget Title! (PS3 Review)

For 40 bucks this game is pretty damn good. Its a little easy on normal difficulty and a little short but the gameplay is very solid. If you like Demo Derby games you'll want to pick this one up. I would love to see what the makers could do with a much bigger budget. Sony should get them to do a Destruction Derby 3.
