Destruction Derby Arenas ROM Description
Destruction Derby Arenas brings the classic car crashing franchise to PS2 with new online multiplayer. Up to 20 players can smash each other to bits across various modes. The exhibition lets you jump right in while the Championship unlocks new vehicles. Progress through seasons of wrecking races where smashing cars earn points. End each season with old-school destruction derbies, seeking to be the last car running. There’s also a split-screen for couch competition.
The gameplay sticks to the series’ roots, scoring points for spinning out other cars. Style and hard hits get fewer points than spins, even though real derbies are about smashing cars through brute force. The damage modeling also fails to depict cars breaking down as expected. Visually, it disappoints too, with blocky, toy-like cars and environments. Slowdown plagues the many vehicles onscreen despite unimpressive graphics. It sounds right with decent crashing effects but forgettable music and audio.
Online is Arenas’ strength, thanks to supporting up to 20 players. It handles smoothly over broadband aside from occasional lagging cars. New modes like Speedway races and a King of the Hill style trophy capture mode add variety. But solid online can’t compensate for tired single-player and weak presentation. This entry feels more of the same than an evolution of the demolition derby genre.
If you crave online car destruction with extra players, Arenas delivers reasonably well. The PS2 version also runs smoothly for chaotic local split-screen. But more of the same worn-out gameplay and visuals well below modern standards make this hard to recommend. Return to classics like Destruction Derby 2 or FlatOut 2 for a truly satisfying wreck fest. Or step up to modern options like Wreckfest. But if you insist on some PS2-era online demolition, grab the Destruction Derby Arenas ISO at ROMsdl.NET. Just temper expectations for major innovations in this aging franchise iteration.
