- Cel Damage HD is not going to blow anyone away, but it is a solid weekend romp. It has aged well over the past decade, and for anyone who has never played it, it is a nice change of pace. Still, without online and a severe lack of modes the fun wears thin quickly. This is one to wait for a sale to snatch up.
Ken McKown · Mar 18, 2016 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Cel Damage HD is a mediocre vehicle combat game that looks great but plays poorly. The lack of any kind of multiplayer is a big letdown and having to battle only AI opponents in arenas that are much too is just not that much fun. It is a better experience on the PS3/PS4, but as a Vita game, it's a wreck.
Brad Gruetzmacher · May 28, 2014 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - Finish Line Games has attempted to inject some colour into the car combat genre with Cel Damage HD, and there is some reasonably entertaining action on display here. Sadly, while the cartoony visuals and creative power-ups are a highlight, the lack of replay value will soon put an end to your enjoyment. This is fun for an evening if you’ve got some buddies nearby, but without an online option and with a pretty tiring cast, you’ll quickly tire of this comic book clash.
Joey Thurmond · May 19, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Although this game's existence still leaves me scratching my head, it does feature redeeming qualities. The days of Twisted Metal are long gone, but vehicular combat still holds a special place in my heart. Even though Cel Damage HD doesn't excel in any particular area, it has its fair share of fun moments. The lack of content and limited attempts at personality hinder those moments, but at the end of the day Cel Damage HD is a solid update of a mostly forgotten 13-year-old game.
Anthony LaBella · May 06, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Remakes of games are tough to score. Without major changes, a remake of a mediocre game is only going to score so well. The source material being what it is, Finish Line has done well. They’ve added a new interpretation into their game play that improves the flow and the cross-platform and cross-save options only add value for owners of various Sony consoles. Online play would have been nice but, still, a worthy effort.
Shad Forsyth · May 04, 2014 Reviewed on PS4, PS3, VitaRead full review - There’s a small shimmer of something fun and interesting under the 13 years of rust that coats Cel Damage HD. While certain areas show potential, others show the age of the game. ...Cel Damage HD is like re releasing a mediocre car from a decade ago and only giving it a fresh coat of paint. Without any significantly new content added to this year’s model, consider this a 13 year late mixed review of the original.
Chandler Wood · Apr 28, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - For an HD remake that no one asked for of a game that few people played, Cel Damage HD is actually pretty charming and entertaining. It’s a classic party multiplayer game at its heart and doesn’t do too much to cater to anyone else. No online play and a very short single-player mode might scare away the lone wolves, but it’s a very solid example of the perseverance of local multiplayer. The wacky animations are complemented by the HD polish, oozing character and charm.
Alex Carlson · Apr 24, 2014 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Cel Damage HD isn’t going to rocket to the top of the eShop charts and become the kind of unit-selling monster that publishers only dream of, but that doesn’t mean it should be passed up if you're a brand new player. As a local multiplayer affair, its vehicular combat is bombastic and silly in a way that makes for countless rewarding matches. It’s still too easy to unlock every new weapon and arena in a couple of hours, but with full support for four-player multiplayer, this cartoonish caper finally gets the handheld iteration it deserved all along.
