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.

Cel Damage is an upscaled port of a PS2 / Xbox / GameCube-era vehicular combat game. It tries to be a cartoonish take on Twisted Metal with a dash of Mario Kart. The result is a mixed bag.
The original characters don't have nearly as much appeal as their TM or MK counterparts, and the "reality show" premise is a badly-aged vestige of the early 2000s.
There is a fair amount of variety here in terms of courses and modes, but not every course is suited for every mode. For example, there's a traditional eight-lap race around a volcano-themed course that is basically impossible to complete for some vehicles, as it includes a jump over a lava river that apparently cannot be cleared; falling in the lava resets the driver back behind the lava, stuck in an endless fail-state.
The combat mode confusingly tracks victory by the number of "slaps" earned against competitors. Essentially it's a damage counter; in practice it feels a bit arbitrary. It doesn't help that most weapons are not terribly effective.
The visuals are... fine. Cel shading tends to age fairly well, but in this case it comes across as flat and a bit drab in color, as was a common practice in that sorry generation of video games. The music is inoffensive and forgettable.
My biggest regret is I never had an opportunity to play this with friends, but judging from the mediocre single-player experience, I don't think I want to.
