This game contains several fast packed exciting car chases with several of hazards famous vehicles, and when you are not driving it's like watching an episode of the hit T.V series. The only minor disapointment is the voice of Bo. All other voices are accurate and authenting for a realistic video game.....(Virtual) Hazzard style!

I received this game as a gift for Christmas as a "joke" gift, but was pleasantly surprised by it. If you remember the Dukes of Hazard from your childhood, this game captures all of the unrealistic car chase and jump scenes from the TV show and is a blast to play!

If you've played other racing games, this one is very similar. However, it's not solely a racing game, so the fastest doesn't always win. The game sets up various scenarios that just scream Dukes of Hazard. For example, the bank is robbed and Uncle Jessie's truck is carjacked for the get away vehicle, with Uncle Jessie inside. Your mission is to pull the truck over. This is accomplished by ramming into the truck to cause enough damage to pull it over. As an added distraction you have to avoid the occational oncoming car or truck, which can be pretty tricking going around a corner at 75 mph. So it's a cross between a racing game and a crash up derby game.

The controls are simple; you steer with the left and right arrow keys and use the forward arrow key as the accelerator. It takes a bit getting used to, because if you over steer you're going to find yourself doing some donuts. It's best to tap the directional keys and if you find yourself getting out of control (around corners especially) take your finger off the accelerator. You can use a game pad, though it doesn't allow you to configure the buttons as you can with the keyboard.

You are able to get nitrous oxide boosts to give you a kick in speed as well as oil slicks and the famous bow and arrow to help shoot out tires. There's even a scenario where you get to use the dynamite arrows!

The game was realistic in that you got better traction and higher speeds on the pavement than on the dirt road. Driving off the road on the grass was especially difficult. The actual car handling wasn't too realistic. Your car has a great ability of landing on or rolling onto its tires after a jump or a crash. But this just adds to the excitment of the game.

The game is short with nine episodes consisting of about three scenes apiece, but the game is inexpensive, so it off sets this drawback. The graphics aren't top quality, but then the game isn't slowed down by the computer having to render the images.

The easy setting is too easy. Playing on difficult offers quite a challenge and is recommended. My friends and I were cracking up the whole time we were playing this game. The cut scenes inbetween scenarios were hilarious. The game features the actual voices of James Best (Rosco P. Coltrane), Tom Wopat (Luke Duke), Sonny Shroyer (Enos Straitt), Ben Jones (Cooter Davenport), and Waylon Jennings (the Narrator). The opening credits mimic the TV credits, except it's all computer graphics.

This is not a serious racing game and doesn't pretend to be. It's simple, and unrealistic, but very fun! This is a game for a laughing good time to be spent chasing some criminals, smashing up some cars, and reminiscing about the Dukes of Hazard.

Great tv show, very poor game...

This game is horrible. The movies in between the missions are cool i guess, and their graphics are good, but the actual mission graphics are not good. it looks like one of those no-name company games. the car controls are useless. It is nearly impossible to control the car and make it go where you want it to. the game is rediculously short. i beat it in a day and a half and there were maybe three missions that i didn't beat on the first time. I expected a lot more from a major company-produced game that was advertised so much. Seriously, don't waste your money. if you want mission-based driving, buy Driver.
