Destruction Derby Arenas - PlayStation 2

The selection of race circuits is geographically and thematically comprehensive, taking in airports, Chinatowns, beach resorts and more. The choice of motors and drivers on offer, too, is healthily broad. And Arenas is one of those titles that satisfies with its unlockable features. There are plenty of rewards here for those who drive well.

Whether racing through a championship or competing in an every-car-for-itself American-style demolition derby--online or offline--the focal point of the action in Destruction Derby Arenas is forever that of damage. Which sets Arenas apart from most other driving games, and also gives it a compelling raison d'etre. Thanks to the power of the PS2 hardware, that damage can be pretty impressive; and thanks to the immediate gameplay it's pretty enjoyable too. --Jonti Davies
