GamingWorld X - Destruction Derby Arenas Review (1110 words)
Destruction Derby Arenas isn’t the next Gran Turismo, and happily doesn’t aim to be.
The meat of the game is the championship mode, where you compete in 12 races and 4 Destruction Bowls, which are competitions where cars are let loose in an enclosed arena to just crash and bash one another for points (and to see pretty explosions).
Bottom Line - Destruction Derby Arenas is a mindlessly fun game with an addictive quality to the upgrade system, and the mounds of unlockable cars also helps to boost the replay value.
