Cel Damage is a vehicular combat game developed by Pseudo Interactive and released in 2001 for Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, and PlayStation 2. Set in an exaggerated cartoon world, it pits a roster of animated characters against one another in weapon-equipped vehicles across open, highly interactive environments styled after classic animation. Players navigate these arenas freely, uncovering hidden areas, triggering environmental gags such as a 100-ton weight, and performing stunts while battling opponents. Combat relies on an assortment of oversized, cartoonish weapons including giant boxing gloves and baseball bats. The game incorporates elements of racing, arena shooting, and demolition derby-style fighting, with the goal of outmaneuvering and defeating rivals for in-world glory. Its visual style draws directly from cel-shaded animation, giving the characters and stages a hand-drawn appearance consistent with the game's cartoon-violence theme.
