While it may seem easy enough to take out the 5 other AI racers, it seems that they too have the ability to repair and reset their cars, making it more than just a “5 and done” affair. In my time play, I found that the only effective way to win is to focus on completing the laps.

You can even pay a fee to reset your car back onto the track, for when you inevitably misjudge a cliff-side turn or an overzealous racer makes an aggressive pass and knocks you to the bottom of the ocean. You can then pump some of that currency into minor, automatic repairs to your vehicle, or just repair it fully to stock condition, all while still driving the track. Just like the lap clock, you start with a set amount of currency and earn more through sheer destruction. To keep you in the game, there is a currency system which you can use for repairs at any time during the race, so there is no need to wait until a pit stop or check point. Another situation – you can become so banged up that your engine goes out completely, making you a sitting duck on the track.

Damage is not just cosmetic – you can completely blow out the tires on your car so that turning a corner is like steering a cruise ship going full speed ahead. With vehicle-on-vehicle combat being one of the three mainstays of the gameplay, vehicle destructibility plays a large role in your performance. That is by no means enough time to complete those laps, so you are fighting against the clock the whole time and as a result you are fighting the other racers and hitting bystanders to bump that clock back up. As an example, you may start a race with 4 minutes on the clock and have to complete 5 laps around the track. You gain more time by hitting pedestrians, destroying other players, or performing stunts. Where it gets interesting is that you start each race with a set amount of time, and the timer actually counts down – once the timer runs out, your game is over. In the Freeplay mode (currently the only mode available – though Campaign and Multiplayer are planned), there are three ways to win a map: Finish a specific number of laps, destroy all of the AI controlled vehicles, or kill all of the pedestrians on the map. Carmageddon: Reincarnation takes a very different approach than most other vehicular combat games.
