Like its predecessor, Carmageddon II was subject to criticism for the level of violence portrayed in the game. It is rated 15+ by ELSPA. In some countries, the pedestrians (and animals) are zombies, and blood is turned to green slime: In Germany, the pedestrians were replaced by robots. Internet released 'blood patches' would restore the original human pedestrians. Computer and video games have been the subject of frequent controversy and censorship, due to the depiction of graphic violence, sexual themes, racism, advertising, eavesdropping, consumption of illegal drugs, consumption of alcohol or tobacco, propaganda or profanity in some games. ...

Carmageddon II is one of the few racing games, even eight years after it was released, which feature deformable models on its cars, making for more realistic dents and crashes. In fact, the player's car can even be bent in half, leaving the player to drive with only the front wheels on the ground (the car could also be sheared in half, causing retirement from the race if the damage was not repaired before the vehicle touched the ground).
As with Carmageddon I, there are 3 ways to finish most levels:
- Complete the race, passing every checkpoint before the time runs out
- Destroy all the opponents
- Kill every zombie/pedestrian in the level
As the player progressed through the game, they would unlock 'sets' of levels (10 in total), consisting of 3 standard "Race, Wreck, or Wreak havoc among the zombie/pedestrian hordes" levels, followed by a mission. Each mission has specific tasks that must be completed before unlocking the next set.
The time limit in this game is generous, and the player can kill pedestrians, crash into opponents, or do tricks to gain time as well.

Movie Influences Themes, cars, and ideas from many popular movies are present in the game: - Death Race 2000 is the source of much of the ideology of the game. A game character "Silvester Stallion" was named for Sylvester Stallone, and a powerup in the game, "Oil slicks from your ass" is one that Sly's character can be seen using in the movie.
- Back to the Future is the inspiration for the inclusion of the otherwise rare DeLorean "DeGory'un" car.
- The Blues Brothers is the source of the cop car, and features a quote from the movie to describe the car: "Its got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant. Its got cop tyres. Cop suspension. Cop shocks..." Additionally, a level requiring the destruction of 12 cop cars - the number of Bluesmobiles used in the making of the movie - exists, with the level description "Guess you shouldn't have run into that donut shop", which refers to the event in the mall car chase scene in that movie. The powerup "Oh dear, bodywork trashed" produces an effect that strikingly resembles the scene in which the bodywork simultaneously falls off of the Bluesmobile in the movie.
- Herbie the Love Bug is undoubtably the source of the VW with the curly-lettered "Hate" emblem on its side.
