Carnage Mode is a series of 39 challenges spread across 4 different game types:
  • Carnage Race - Carnage Racing is a race where crashing into objects and other drivers scores you points. Its not all about racing though as the higher up the field you are the more of a multiplier you receive to your score.
  • Beat the Bomb - In Beat the Bomb mode you have to drive as fast as you can before the timer runs out and the bomb in the back of the car explodes. The further around the track you drive the more points you score.
  • Stunts - Utilizing the Rag Doll Physics you play a series of 12 mini-games such as Bowling, where you literally launch the driver of the car out the windshield in order to knock down the pins.
  • Deathmatch Derby - In a Deathmatch Derby its you against the AI computer drivers in an enclosed arena. Last car still running at the end wins. You score points by ramming into the AI cars and destroying them. There are also power ups which pop-up around the arena which you can use to your advantage but you have to pick them up quick before the AI drivers do.
