Each mode essentially just keeps going each time you win, until presumably you either quit or completely lose your mind. Essentially, your options are to take part in a traditional demolition derby, where your goal is to drive around wrecking into your opponents until the last car is left running or time runs out and you have the highest score, or you can race against five other cars in a basic demolition race or a stunt race, where you'll need to do flips and spins to earn points.

In the game's single-player mode, you'll have four basic race types to choose from, though some are just variations of other races.


There are nine cars to choose from in Ultimate Demolition Derby, including an old pickup truck, a hot rod, a jeep, a slightly different looking jeep, something that vaguely resembles a Mini Cooper, and a hertz. It's hard to imagine a more dismally lifeless and uninteresting game based upon the concept of fast cars wrecking into each other at high speeds, yet somehow Ultimate Demolition Derby manages to suck all the fun out of its subject matter and replaces it with half-baked driving physics, an ugly graphics engine, and a host of frame rate and compatibility problems that can, at times, make the game nearly unplayable.īroken driving physics, thy name is Ultimate Demolition Derby. Global Star Software and 3 Romans' Ultimate Demolition Derby is yet another failure in a long line of subpar derby games, though the level at which this game fails is really something to behold. Over the years, a handful of game companies have tried to take the art of the demolition derby and turn it into a game-though all with, at best, limited success. Though never an especially popular pastime in the grand scheme of things, derbies still made for some good old-fashioned intelligence-free entertainment in their heyday. In this day and age, the demolition derby has become something of a lost art.
