    One of the first reviews in NZ App Store:

    :eek:

    Will download in 15 min. Just to see what's all the fuzz about. I love racers, but I am not sure if I like the… uhm, story.

    In the meantime I'll read:

    About the IAPs in their forums (obviously posted by one of the devs):

    ^ Use the link provided in the first posting of this thread. It worked well here in Austrian App Store. (Expanded on iPad 3: 108 MB btw.) Multilanguage (German… even some vocals).

    Tried the tilt controls as I got used to them in Asphalt 6 and Asphalt 7 (arcade racers) for some minutes. Never played Carmageddon before.

    Sometimes the car in Carmageddon goes where it wants and not where I want it. Dunno if that's part of the game or if I will need a better and upgraded car. Better go around corners while pulling the handbrake. I always try to repair it soon by tapping the icon top right. Maybe touch controls are better.

    Game Impressions

    So far, I cannot say Carmageddon has aged gracefully, but I'll withhold final judgement until I've spent quite some time with the game. As someone who has been around long enough to have played games like Pirates!, Shufflepuck Café and Uninvited shortly after release, but who, in spite of all these fond memories, has no particular love for the retro vibe, I find the game limited in both presentation and mechanics, but hope that a few more explosions and horrified screams will prove me wrong :)

    Oh, Zero Signal's lyrics are anything but tasteless. Luckily, I never implied they were :)

    Actually, the zombies were added as a form of censorship in some country-specific editions of the original game, and have been reversed to normal pedestrians in the iOS version, complete with the blood and the screaming :) But regardless of that, yes, I was being, if not sarcastic, then at sligthly ironic, while at the same time commenting on the interesting mixture of a song about personal disarray and despair and the ever-fleeting hope of emotional redemption, and a game that involves mowing down innocent bystanders for additional points ;)

    It's there, and has been so since 02:40 :) Third entry from the left, if you search for "Carmageddon". If the app still eludes you, try including the dev ("Stainless Games") in the search.

    But yeah, really looking forward to this. Devs say there is iCloud support in the game, is this true?
    Also, 5 more minutes for US people...

    EDIT: iCloud support is confirmed. It is of the "Documents and Data" type, so the data os manageable from iCloud settings.

    This is sooo awesome...just a few questions...

    The car unlocks, when not purchased through iapp, are awarded by winning races, correct? Is it essentially the same way the PC game worked?

    I'de like to play the game the way I did back in the '90's, and not accelerate my progress. However, I wasn't a kickstarter backer. Is their an iapp donation option? Perhaps a frivilous iapp purchase, like a gold skin? Just something to throw some cash the way of the Devs. I never did play the original in anything higher than 800x600 resolution...this should be fun!

    Last but not least, I still have the Cd-ROM in a 2 Pack which includes the "Splat pack" expansion. Has the Splat Pack made its way in.

    Anyway...awesome!

    If apple will let GTA 3 in the AppStore, I see no reason why any (mainstream) game without nudity shouldn't be released.

    Oh yes it is. Grinning from excitement as I did 10 years ago, and still having a ton of fun.

    Are both devices are online? Can you check the iCloud menu for both devices to make sure the "Carmageddon" entry is there? It should be listed there, as it uses "Documents & Data" to save games.
