    This is the first version of the game, the one with invisible walls when jumping ramps. The version you want is called Mashed: Fully Loaded, which has more cars, tracks, and most important of all, you can use ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ramps. Unless they update this, avoid this version.

    Mashed is an arcade racer in which you race against opponents where you can pick up weapons as you drive to eliminate them.

Critics, per Wikipedia

Mashed received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms except the PlayStation 2 version of the Fully Loaded edition, which received "generally favorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Andy Young of VideoGamer.com called the Xbox version "a great multiplayer game. One of the best in recent memory". Some American publications gave the game a review over a month after the Fully Loaded edition was released in Europe, but nearly two years before it was released in North America. In Japan, where the PS2 version of the Fully Loaded edition was ported under the name Simple 2000 Series Ultimate Vol. 28: Bōsō! Kenka Grand Prix, Drive to Survive (SIMPLE 2000…

    This game was released on multiple consoles including PS2, PSP, Xbox. Gameplay is similar to Micro Machines but unfortunately it sucks. Variety is small, all vehicles are similar. Some weapons are available which act like power ups that you grab during race. Seems pretty shallow to me. Trying this game again and again but just can't force myself to complete it.

    Me and my brother used to play Mashed when we were kids. This is the "Drive to Survive" version, not the "Fully Loaded", so please stop writing negative reviews about the version since the cover of the game is referring to the first one. The AI behavior will change over different maps, modes and difficulties. Although the AI has some minor problems, it is challenging ,hard and varied. Don't forget to try the co-op mode. And hey, it's so cheap specially on sale. Just buy it, you won't regret.

    Getting it to run on a modern computer can be a bit frustrating, but when it works, it's an incredible party game. I spent countless hours playing this with friends back in the day. In fact, it's actually easier to get this running on Linux now than it is on Windows. Just use Proton 11 and everything works perfectly.

    A thrilling, funny, hectic party game that I had fond memories of on PS2. There's a decent amount of single player content to get through, but the real joy in Mashed is playing it with other people, now possible with Steam's online local MP support. If you have a friend group to play it with, at €5 it's an essential purchase. If you just plan to play it alone, probably only worth it on sale.

    I've had countless hours of fun playing this game, first on an xbox and then on a PC. It is definitely more enjoyable when playing multiplayer (although playing solo against the CPU isn't terrible either) - trash talking your friends and competing against known people is a unique joy. Would definitely recommend this game.

    What an absolute gem. Didn't expect much from this game, but it became an unexpected hit during our party game sessions. Wouldn't recommend playing it alone. Grab three friends, a few beers, tap in that cheat code that unlocks all levels and cars and go nuts. The clunkiness and random physics just add the charm and create those unforgettable moments of randomness and laughter.

    The fantastic Mashed lacks much in the way of plot, set-up or subtlety at all, but it proves that such things are wholly unnecessarily for a racing game that is this much fun and whimsically cathartic – the premise is simple; as any one of six colour-coded vehicles, outlast a number of opponents while navigating richly detailed maps at top speed and armed with a wide array of utilisable ordnance. That premise is only the beginning of a highly-replayable core concept, first thing you’ll…

    First of all, playing this with a controller is strongly recommended. Mechanically the game is fine and it can be played unpatched with a resolution of up to 2715x1527. Visually it also looks pretty decent and some of the levels are pretty neat. Do you remember Carrera slot car toys? This is pretty much that as a video game, combined with the Micro Machines games. Not great, but not bad either. I completed most of the challanges (all bronze, silver and most gold challanges), but since you…

    Mashed is great fun. It's simple to pick up and hard to put down, especially in the wonderfully chaotic multiplayer mode. The core gameplay is simple and classic - you drive around each track (usually with 3 other opponents - AI or Human) and try to avoid getting left off the screen. You can go flat out and try to gain points by racing your way to victory or you can use the weapons which are dotted around each track to try and take out your opponents. And that's practically it. There's a…
