The Beaver City is the first location in Carmageddon II, and the first in Carmageddon 64. It's the main city of the Beaver County, featuring several skyscrapers, some stores and other buildings.
General info
The city can almost be classified as divided in two. The Western half is a regular city, with lots of buildings and roads; the Eastern half features a very low amount of roads surrounded by grass. Sometimes, it's a bit of a pain to reach the opposing half. A highway practically circles all of the left half, and a sub-section of this highway allows passage to the right side.
Like any city, this one has some stores. They aren't shown as such, but can be identified by looking at their signs. A major building in this city is the bank at the South. Obviously, the drivers can't get out of their car and withdraw some money out of their accounts, but they can do something far nastier. In the middle of the bank lies a safe that has some extra credit powerups. Sadly, the lockers lining the walls (and possibly containing further riches) can't be opened.
Other spots include the gas station, a bit Westwards from the middle; a car wash at the Southwest; and the Shop shop at the West.
The building's rooftops can be reached, and they normally feature ramps that allow access to a nearby, usually taller, building. Mastering these ramps is necessary to complete the second mission, Eye of the Beaver.
Opinions
Most players like this level because the city theme represents what true carnage would be like. Killing pedestrians at, say, an aircraft carrier is a more surreal scenario.
Beaver City also boasts complex paths that allow a good level of exploring without confusing the player.
Goodies
- The car wash has an armour powerup inside.
- The gas station's pumps can be destroyed for extra credits. On top of this gas station lies a solid granite car powerup and an extra armour slot. These two powerups are sometimes obtained automatically by blowing up the pumps.
- The bank vault (on the standalone island at the far south of the map) contains a good couple of hundred grand worth of credits, which at this early stage of the game, is a lot.
Trivia
- This city takes the name of their county, Beaver, a bit too seriously. Several beaver statues can be found decorating buildings.
