Much like every other port of this game (it was ported to PS2 as Cel Damage Overdrive in 2002 then got that HD treatment on last gen hardware in 2014), there’s nothing particularly remarkable about any of its parts. The lack of anything ‘new’ does make this particular version a little less special, especially on a console with so many local multiplayer games vying for your time and money. Like most Switch ports, Cel Damage is very much the same game that appeared on PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2014, but a handful of new items to celebrate its appearance on Nintendo Switch would be nice (even if they’re not Nintendo-themed). It’s also still way too easy to unlock every one of its arena variants and 30 or so weapons. Each one has a unique item they can fling to knock enemies aside or reduce their health, but for the most part, they all have the same floaty, bumper car-style driving model. There’s Fowl Mouth (a noir-style black and white duck), Sinder (a miniature demon), Dominique Trix (a dominatrix, unsurprisingly enough) and more. Without the actual licence for that Hanna-Barbera series, the developer instead used a similar cel-shaded look (back when cel-shading was still new and fresh) and created its own roster of madcap racers. They’re just brilliant fun, regardless of the licensed backdrop or hardware.īack in 2001, Canadian studio Pseudo Interactive decided to have its own go at the genre with Cel Damage, a vehicular battle arena game which took the power-up collecting violence of Twisted Metal and fused it with the cartoon slapstick of Wacky Races. Hell, there was even a Star Wars game back on PlayStation where you could ride a rancor into battle and fight speeder bikes and AT-STs. From the heyday of Destruction Derby to the headline-baiting prime of Carmageddon, using a car to smash your friends/foes to bits is so satisfying it’s almost primal.

When it comes to causing carnage and unleashing violence, few things fit the bill as well as vehicular combat.
