Past the visuals rests a competent, if uninspired game that’s best savored with four players madly fighting for split-screen automotive supremacy. [Jan 2002, p.90]

An addictive and charming game. It could have used a lot more modes and maps, but I enjoyed its simplicity, fast-paced action and great controls. [Dec 2001, p.250]

This great engine and these great visuals are draped over gameplay that is just so-so.

Cel Damage was a great multi-player game. The more people you had the better it was. Single player was lacking to be sure and could have been improved. The characters and voices were edgy for the time and crude but comical. I would love to have seen this game receive some proper love. If you buy it on any platform other than the OG X-Box I advise that you research it first as the mechanics were changed. In the original you had weapons that were a 1 hit KO and that went perfectly with the quick play-style this game was known for. Friendships were made and broken cheap shots were hilarious and skill was a plus but not required to just have fun and mindlessly slaughter your opponents while listening to the one-liners.

One of the freshest, funniest car combat romps to date.

The graphics are amazing, but it’s the gameplay that will win you over.

Confuses more than entertains. [Dec 2001]

This game is an excellent title for someone suffering from attention deficit disorder, but if you're looking for a game with lots of replay value, shop elsewhere.

Admittedly, this game is designed to be played in multiplayer and when done so is quite fun. For about ten minutes.

Only in Cel Damage does a guy with an axe beat out a gatling gun. [Dec 2001, p.101]

The biggest problem is that the weapons are far too powerful, resulting in a near-constant cycle of death and respawning. [Jan 2002, p.26]
