I love driving games. I though this would be a great game, but it isn't. The idea of driving at great speeds and collecting powerups is not new, but this game does it no justice. The graphics are bad, they seem like a port of some old game that has been on the shelf for awhile, and released for the sake of another title for the xbox. Frame rate is good, and the car handles well, but the developers could have done so much better with the graphis. The music is annoying, and this game is a renter at best.

For god's sake, don't buy this game. It is possibly the worst game in the history of all games. The graphics are terrible, and the racing style is insanely boring. You simply move left and right to avoid cars, and occasionally you are given the choice to traverse a shortcut, all of which are marked by large flashing green arrows, removing all skill required. Additionally, all platform games adopted from the arcade version have some sort of tournament or campaign included in them. This game has nothing. Only the arcade mode with one car and about eight tracks, all very similar. The graphics are sufficient to be somewhere in between the SNES and the N64, and the four different 50-second music loops are enough to drive someone insane. This would have made a great game for one of those little [price] LCD things you buy at the airport.
Painful, pittiful, terrible

Ohh My Gosh. This game [is bad]!! If it was the last game on earth I wouldn't even buy it! Graphics are terrible. Everything else is terrible! Don't waste your money on this game cause if you do, you are pretty stupid. No offense. But really, I'd expect these graphics to be on Super Nintendo! Gameplay is terrible too. My friend brought this game over one time, and we started playin it and after like 2 minutes I said to him, "Why did you buy this game?" Someone had bought it for him, obviously the person who bought it for him doesn't have a clue what a mistake they made! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME OR RENT IT!! EVER!!!!
An ARCADE port that is true to the original

If you like the arcade version of Smashing Drive, this is the same thing. If you are expecting some sort of new content, new tracks, new music, etc... you will be dissappointed. It is a note perfect port and nothing more.
The hate filled blasts that serve for 'reviews' seem to be expecting a racing game, or a sim. It is was it is. A budget console port of an arcade hit. Take it at face value and have a good time. I still laugh out loud using the big sonic horn to blow up traffic and plow through the wreckage.
