While I did like the demo of Destruction Derby 2, there was always something else I would rather have and as such I never got it. It was however an ideal way to ‘try before you buy’ or in my case ‘try before you ask for’ games. When I used to buy them back in 1997 – 2000 it would cost around £5 which, to a kid, was quite a bit of money back then. For those that don’t know, a demo CD was usually sold with a PlayStation or PC magazine and would contain games or software with limited access and would usually compliment an article in the magazine itself. I did however have a demo CD which featured Destruction Derby 2 along with several other games. Quite a few years ago I gave away my PlayStation 1 along with a lot of games, but I have never owned Destruction Derby 2 until now. I am of course delighted with my purchase, it’s a welcome addition to my small collection, but it’s a bit of a shame because the condition suggests the game might not have been enjoyed much by the previous owner.ĭestruction Derby 2 was released for the PlayStation 1 in 1996 and was later made part of the ‘platinum series’ of games. The game arrived in near perfect condition, including the case, which I have seen sell for around £10 when new. Players will have to develop some strong techniques or they'll be stalled on the sidelines by the middle of the game.About a month ago I decided to buy the PlayStation 1 game Destruction Derby 2 which was pre-owned for £9.55. Localized damage adds an element of strategy too, as headfirst ramming destroys engines and can quickly take the driver out of the game. The game's physics engine allows wheels, car hoods and other debris fly to everywhere.

Realistic physics deforms cars (and their nice paint job) as you collide with 19 other racers. The new Pit Stop feature allows the player to make repairs to a damaged vehicle and head back out into the fray.

Choose one of three cars and take your pent-up rage into one of four bowl arenas or one of four circuit courses. This edition offers seven larger tracks with lots of jumps and flips, as well as the dreaded crisscross sections where huge damage often ensues. Strap in, hold on, hit the gas, and you're off on a quest for destructive points in Destruction Derby 2, the smashing sequel to the original demolition derby game from Reflections Interactive and Psygnosis.
