Racing for Boredom would be more like it!

I waited forever to play this, and found out that it stunk. The car was easy to handle, and drove well. But as the game progressed, it didn't become more difficult. I was hoping it would be more challenging. I actually got to memorize the roads some. I played it beginning to end in less than four hours. I did enjoy having many of the cast of the TV show reprise their roles for the voice-overs in the game.

Poor Graphics

I want some fun in this game and I want to be thrilled the Dukes could not show me a good time if they crashed the General lewis into my chicken coop (small joke) no but honestly violence is the perfect answer in video games where is the BLOOD! Arthur P. Nevell San Antonio Texas

Don't get me wrong, this game is a lot of fun, but in the end is completely disappointing. First complaint: WAY too easy. It took less than an hour to complete the entire thing. 26 levels take you back and forth over the same roads, doing the same thing over and over. For some reason there only seem to be about four roads in Hazzard. Second: the handling of the General leaves much to be desired. It's actually more fun in the other vehicles. Too much time is spent trying to keep the car on the road to enjoy the ride. Third: too cheesy. Yes, so is the show, but this is overkill. If I hear Luke ("Dang it, Bo") one more time, this game is done. Bottom line: this game is fun, but gets old quick, and doesn't make you want to replay it. I suggest passing on the purchase, and rent for an afternoon. That's all it's really good for.

Not as Cool as I'd Hoped....

When I saw this game advertised in a magazine, I was counting the days 'til it's release. "Dukes" was my favorite show growing up. So as a Dukes fan, I was pumped. Then I rented it.

I beat the game in a couple of hours, despite the repetitive play and poor controls. In fact, the biggest challenge the game gave me was to be sure it hadn't cancelled my Analog light during the level transition (which it did frequently).

All in all, the excitement of a Dukes game carried it for the first couple of levels, then it just got boring. And howcome Roscoe can ram me like I'm standing still when I'm going full-throttle and just flipped him on his roof ten seconds ago?

The cool concept earns it two stars, but the poor gameplay trashes the rest. Hopefully there will be a sequel that will make this one look like a mistake. And how 'bout more of Daisy in the next one? Please?

If the General Lee was this hard to drive in the show life Bo and Luke deserve a medal. I could not control the general at all, and Rosco kept running me off the road. This is only fun if you like destruction derbys not racing.

there is no challenge in this stupid game!

1. controls s[tink
2. horrible graphics
3. way to easy

If you want a driving game get driver 2.

Definitely a real hit-or-miss

There's no real middle-ground on this game; you either love it or you don't. The game plays fairly smooth, and the courses are well done, but the settings get repetitive real fast. Fans of the original show should get a kick out of it, but everybody else should try a rental before deciding whether or not to lay money out on this one.

My only real complaint is that there's no vehicle selection; I bought the game hoping I'd be able to play as Roscoe, Sheriff Little, or the infamous green machine. Anyway, buy or rent, this game is definitely one to try.

Great game for a non-hard-core gamer

I have never watched the "Dukes of Hazzard," but I did enjoy this game. It seems that many of the reviews are saying that it's really only worth playing through if you're a fan of the show. I guess I'm a counterexample to that theory. If you are like me and are not a hard-core gamer and really just get into the simple games that do not require hours and hours of gameplay to complete, this game is for you. The fact that it was simple, repetitive, and amusing made it the perfect game for me to blow a few hours with. This was one of the first video games that I have actually taken the time to complete, so that must say something for it. Although the graphics are not stunning, the cinematics that go with the storyline are just awesome. And if you can get used to the crummy graphics that come with the split screen, the two-player game "run the jug" is pretty fun, too.

Hazzardous...

The opening credits on this game bring back loads of memories and the room erupts in YEEEEEHAAAWWWWS!(even from the kids who have no clue what that means to us) The full version of the song is included with a visual trip through Hazzard, cartoon style. The caricatures of Bo and Luke leave a little to be desired but they get the point across. You can drive the General Lee or pick from other cars including a chicken truck, and Cooter's wrecker. There are plenty of hills to jump, corners to slide around and Enos is right behind you most of the way. There are boxes throughout the game that you have to collect which are kind of like power ups. Luke will hang out the window to shoot arrows at another car if you find the box with the arrows in it. There is a box to replenish fuel, a box to repair all the damage you sustain while you learn how to drive these babies, and then there's the horn. You get to play the horn over and over again and what Hazzard fan can honestly say that wouldn't make the game worth it for them? Well, that and Luke's passenger seat whining about how Bo is driving!!! If you like the Dukes of Hazzard, you'll enjoy this....if not it will do nothing for you.

This game is fun. The car handling isn't the greatest, but the game makes up for it with how much fun it is. It's not your modern day awesome graphics strategy game, but it's still cool to be able to drive the General Lee at 90 mph down a dirt road while running from sheriff Roscoe. If you're into classic games, and are looking for something to do, you should definately play this one.
