Destruction Derby (PS1) Review - Heavy Metal Gamer Show

[@Larry]

I remember first booting up the game, watching the intro FMV and wondering if game graphics would ever be that good... ...that intro looks like complete arse today XD

[@HeavyMetalGamerShow]

Yeah, FMV intros I think for their time were amazing, but now, obviously very outdated, but that was the big thing then, and it's still fun to go back and watch them, and laugh.

@@HeavyMetalGamerShow it's like the FMV for WWF warzone on PS1 they used to look so great now their absolutely hilarious

[@HeavyMetalGamerShow]

@@jackthompson8873 Yeah, I mean it hasn't dated very well lol, but back then, amazing.

The game is good fun. I remember the damage model being pretty good for its time. The Flat-Out games are pretty fun too and they had pretty good damage models. Wreckfest which is like a spiritual successor to Flat-Out has a really cool damage model too. A Remake or new sequel in the Destruction Derby series would be great.

[@HeavyMetalGamerShow]

I looooooooooooooooooooove Flatout, and I loooooooooooooooove Wreckfest.

[@TheGeekPunkGamer]

@@HeavyMetalGamerShow They're great games!

[@BioPhoenixReviews]

use to love this game and i still enjoy it but i wish there was more content to it. also that announcer voice used to make me laugh as a kid

[@HeavyMetalGamerShow]

Yeah, with the sequels the game definitely got better. Especially DD2.

[@CynicalGamingBlogTerry309]

I remember playing a demo of this back in the day. It kinda reminds me of Dirt Showdown a bit, which makes me wonder why there isn't a Dirt Showdown 2.

[@HeavyMetalGamerShow]

I don't think the first game sold that well, I mean it did ok, but sold to the point of a sequel? I don't think so.

[@CynicalGamingBlogTerry309]

@@HeavyMetalGamerShow Shame

[@HeavyMetalGamerShow]

It is, I have Dirt Showdown and love it.

WATCH THOSE BARRIERS, THEY’LL SLOW YA DOWN

[@HeavyMetalGamerShow]

Why do I picture a big green troll saying this to me in a irish accent?

[@Terrythetroll.]

@@HeavyMetalGamerShow Irish?

[@HeavyMetalGamerShow]

Ok, Scottish.

[@poppybasers]

Used to have it on the PS1 as a kid, never stuck with me for some reason. Got it again a few months ago for the Saturn, and it's the same now. Am I missing something? I really want to like the game, but, it just feels so damn clunky.

[@HeavyMetalGamerShow]

Controls wise, especially the steering it is clunky. I think it's a great start to the series, but has it's flaws. I think it got better with the sequels.
