DethKarz is a futuristic 3D racing game by game publisher Melbourne House. It was released for Microsoft Windows on 6 November 1998.[1] A Nintendo 64 port was planned but never released.[2] It was released digitally on 20 December 2019 by Piko Interactive on GOG.com.[3]

Reception[]

The game received favourable reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[4] GameSpot said, "Dethkarz follows the futuristic racing formula exactly, without bringing any real personality of its own."[11] IGN said, "Dethkarz is just like all the other arcade racers that have been released recently. It's a decent racing game, but it's not as good as Need for Speed 3, Test Drive 5, or Ultimate Race Pro."[12] Next Generation said, "as breathtaking as the game may be, and as well as it performs as a traditional racing game, there is absolutely nothing here that hasn't been done before. Of course, we don't expect every game to be a genre-shattering experience, but it never hurts to have an innovative touch or two thrown in for good measure."[14]
