Cel Damage HD - GR Review

That game from way back when...

And yet here we are, with an updated version of the 2001 vehicular combat title. I imagine I'm not alone in my unfamiliarity with the original game, a forgettable release in a sea of forgettable releases. It marks Cel Damage HD as perhaps the oddest HD re-release yet, but it doesn't result in a total disaster. In fact, Cel Damage HD's emphasis on vehicular mayhem appeals to my younger self and provides enjoyable competition with AI and/or friends. It also shows its age—make no mistake, this game still feels like it came out 13 years ago. Thus, Cel Damage HD hovers just above mediocrity.

Cel Damage HD consists of three game modes: Smack Attack, Gate Relay, and Flag Rally. Smack Attack is all about crushing the opponent, quite literally. Players drive around and pick up various weapons in order to wreak havoc on their opponents and be the first to accumulate 300 "smacks" (basically hits). Gate Relay clearly takes inspiration from , in which players race and pick up weapons along the way to edge out the competition. Flag Rally—easily my favorite of the bunch—requires players to pick up a certain number of flags and return them to an area on the map, all while avoiding the bloodthirsty ire of opponents as they try to collect flags for themselves.
