"Cel Damage is a really cool demolition derby featuring cel-shaded characters."

STORY:This game doesn't really have a story. You basically just drive around in your cartoon car and blow everyone up. Aiding you in your quest to destroy are several characters, cars, and weapons. You can get weapons by driving over them on the battle field. The weapons are really cool. You can get axes, machine guns, and even holes to place on the ground to lure other players to their death. Each character has their own characteristics. Their size, speed and weight vary from person to person. Choose the character that best suits your needs. There are even a few secret characters to unlock.

GAMEPLAY:7/10 This game is really fun! However, it lacks originality. The objective of this game is to drive around in a variety of cars and blow people up. Lots of fun! You can choose from several default characters, as well as a few secret ones. There are a lot of levels to play on, each with its own characteristics. There are a lot of different weapons waiting for you on the course! These range from axes to machine guns. This game has excellent gameplay. It's just not very original.

GRAPHICS:8/10 This a cartoon game, so of course the graphics are going to be 2-D. However, they are really smooth and clear. It's just like watching a Saturday morning cartoon! The levels are well thought out and feature lots of cartoon mischief. Like falling off of a cliff or getting smashed or blown up. The gamecube could probably do a little better though.

GAME CONTROLS:10/10 I really have to comment this game on its controls. They are very simple. Use the trigger buttons to go back and forth, the control stick to steer and the A and B buttons to use your weapons. You can even taunt or honk your horn using Y and X. Controls are one of this games strongest points.

SOUND: 8/10 The only problem with this game's sound is that the character voices aren't very easily heard. This can be corrected though, by going into the pause menu you can control the loudness of the music, SFX and the character voices. Other than that, the sound is really good.

REPLAY VALUE:6/10 This game is really fun for a while, but it tends to get boring. After you unlock everything there isn't much else to do.

OVERALL:8/10 This game is really fun! Especially if you like humorous games. This game is definitely worth the price!
