Cars take turns very wide, and it is likely designed this way to instigate more carnage on the tracks because I was certainly slamming into everyone and everything on every track. For arcade veterans, think the Rush series and you will get the idea. These cars are floaty and heavy at the same time. Taking control of the cars in Carmageddon is a learning experience. Bringing back a series that most gamers today were not even alive to remember is a tricky proposition, and one that comes away with extremely mixed results.
