This game gives you your dream cars, and then lets you smash them to pieces.

Totaled! will feature some of the hottest cars ever made, and then hands the keys to you. There are no pit stops, or tune-ups, or car customization, just good old fashioned mayhem. Totaled! boasts some of the most realistic crash models and car body damage to date.

Look forward to this game cause it's gonna rock!

If you want a great multiplayer game - this is it. If you like to just smash great looking cars up, you'll love this. You'll get hooked for hours. And you can't beat it for this price.

A Must Buy

I have not had an X-Box for long and this was one of the first games I bought. It is a blast to play and the graphics are great. It is a must buy in my book.

Very Cool

Okay... this is a great game, you get to smash up 10 cars, probably the most realistic damage I've ever seen... except Burnout. This game is kinda like Twisted Metal and Stuntman and Burnout in one. You get turbo, you can go off huge jumps, do 360's, flips, and rolls. You also get to collide in midair, and beat the "tar" out of the other cars. Jou can jump busses and make cars explode sky high. The levels aren't to big, but there are a lot of 'em. And they are packed with lots of jumps. When I got this game... after returing Wreckless... horrible game... I thought Totaled was gonna be kinda bad, 'cause I'm not into racing games, but I got it anyway, and it was AWESOME. Definetly buy this game. I only gave it 4 stars because the levels could be bigger and a little better, but it is fun. Buy the way, I'm not 12, I just didn't wanna create a password. BUY IT, it's pretty cheap too.

A lot of people I have seen don't give this game the chance it deserves. While it IS the traditional demolition derby game, it has quite a few twists and bonuses. What sold it for me, for example, was the ability to use custom soundtracks off of your Xbox's hard drive. Plus extra multiplayer modes like Hunter, where somebody is "it" and you have to crash into them to get points. There are many cars and many levels, and the custom soundtrack option only lengthens this game's replayableness. The only thing it seems to be lacking, though not hurting from, is a CREATE-A-CAR mode or PAINT-A-CAR mode. Hopefully a sequel to this game will appear someday with XBOX live capabilities.

A Great Gaming Value

The only real negative buzz I heard about this game prior to release was that there were way too many loads and that you would spend more time waiting for screens to load than playing them. This is somewhat accurate. Perhaps this is why it came out with a [relatively low] price tag, but negative buzz has not stopped publishers and retailers from charging [more money] before. Whatever the reason, I am glad that it did. This is a gaming value that I have not seen in many years. The ONLY reason I bought it instead of renting it was because of its reasonable price. The graphics are good, the physics engine excellent, and it is the best damage and collision modeling I have ever seen. We XBOXers complain when games, such as Halo for example, allow 4 players but do not allow you to add in sims as well. This game does allow that, but it may be the main reason it takes so much load time. It would not be so bad if it did not take a long time to load after EVERY game or level. If you do not complete the objective or just want to replay the same level for fun... you guessed it- another long load time. It is annoying and a big reason why this reviewer will not give it higher than a 4. However, once it loads, it is tremendous crash 'em up fun. There are many different types of gameplay such as Last Man Standing, Hunter, Free for All, etc. There are stunt venues, race arenas and even high-speed fun in a parking garage. If you like driving games and you like smashing into other cars and taking some serious lumps yourself, then this game is for you- especially at [the price].

Just Like Sex, not any fun when your alone

If you have friends, which some of us don't, this may be one of the funnest multiplayer games out on the xbox. Unlike racing games you actually get to pound the heck out of other people instead of just trying to beat them around the track in some boring circle race. Don't get me wrong though, the career mode isn't the greatest. In fact some of the challenges are just overly frustrating and tedious. It's too bad they couldn't get any real licensed cars also. For Example one of the cars they have is a "CALARO" that looks an awful lot like a CAMARO but oh well. SO all in all, if you don't have any friends (and be honest with yourself if you don't) then stay away from this game. But if you do have friends (or a 5 yr old girl who seems strangely better at this game than your humble reviewer) pick it up since this game is fairly inexpensive even when it is brand new.

Long Wait

This game is load-tastic (aka you spend more time waiting for it to load then you do playing the game.) But other than that it is o.k. with little gimme's and modes to keep the people into it. I think it is a pretty good game, but obviously (especially as I said with the loads) there are flaws. I would rent it first, then if you like it, buy it.

Awesome Game!

This game is one of the most underplayed game i have ever seen for the Xbox. This game is awesome in almost every way!
The Controls are easy to figure out, Easy for beginners.

The soundtrack on this game is [not good], But you can rip your own music from the Xbox and put it on this, so you dont have to listen to this...soundtrack.

Cars and tracks are awesome in graphic detail. Your car reflects the sun on it, If you hit someone you will damage his car and slightly damage your car from impact. So much damage in this game.

Some sounds in this game could be better(Alot of Engines sound the same, Even though they should not...

Long Waits but it is worth it
