Destruction Derby Review Pros:

• Nice graphics.
• PlayStation 1 game emulated onto the PlayStation 3.
• Racing gameplay.
• Racing is fast and frantic straight from the off.
• The campaign spans stock car racing to full-on destruction derby bowl championships
• Bowl races involve 12 cars all in an arena smashing each other up earning points, Bonus points for wrecking opponents, or causing them to spin out.
• Clever-level designs.
• Text pop up of actions like 360 spin or T-Bone.
• Hud shows a 2D model of your car with color-coded damage.
• Race announcer.
• By today’s standard this would be called Dark Souls on wheels, Fighting with opponents is a gamble and you will fail ALOT at first, Perseverance is the key to success
• Music is banging giving us techno to mad hard metal
• Levels are big and offer a lot of danger included the dreaded figure of 8 circuit
• Great satisfaction when you tap someone’s back wheel and cause a spin-out that in turn causes a huge pile-up.
• Handling before any smashes is tight and not overly sensitive
• Full damage model from doors and bonnets falling off to full blowouts of engines, Fire erupting from the engine, Tyres bursting or straight up falling off.

Destruction Derby Review Cons:

• It’s way too easy to completely wreck your car after just a few shunts.
• Tracks are too narrow to do any proper maneuvers.
• Campaigns can get very repetitive most notably the bowl championship.
• If you get knocked the wrong way on a junction it’s nigh on impossible to rectify it without wrecking in seconds.
• No way to get health back.
• Difficult.
