This game is good and cool and more when you crash into the car and get on fire and in the last level is good because you go on the top of statue of libirty. Cool game

Viewers who trash this game are complete idiots!

This game rules, I loved playing it! It was totally pimpin' and people who trash it have a serious mental problem! I mean come on this game rocks! If you like to crash into things, race through seriously awesome shortcuts, and run into King Kong, then you'll love it!

Good concept, bad game

Smashing Drive is built upon the idea of racing through these convoluted, jumbled city streets and smashing just about everything in your way. This, in itself, is fun, but the things that bog the game down are numerous. I can excuse the bad graphics, even the annoying sound and music, but the fact that the game is WAY too short and limits how much fun you can have is inexcusable. What I mean is, every race is set against a timer, as well as an opponent, so you are forced to beat the levels under a lot of pressure. There's no time to just sit back and have a good time. The 1-player mode can be beat in an hour. The 2-player mode will last you an hour longer before you get sick of this narrow-minded game.

why do so many people trash this game?

This is really a great game for racing fans that want some originality. You can get so many great power ups, and the graphics on your car and your rivals car are VERY detaild.
Your tires can get shredded your windows break, your hood can catch fire, any thing that can happen, will happen.
The overall graphics are not that great, more like N64 style.
The game is very short, but holds great replay value in head to head mode.
Better than any taxi game EVER, plus in the third level, you get to race a giant gorilla(king kong?) up a building!
Great for the price, racing fans should pick this up.
(It's also a great party game).

We got this game for our sons 3rd birthday thinking he could watch us play (he loves watching us play games) and thinking he could play once in awhile...well when we got it I sat down for an hour and finished the game...hubby has played a couple times and doesn't like it...but our son loves to sit down and play...he so close to finishing the game...so I have to say Great for 3 year olds...beyond boring for anyone older and the music is sooo annoying.

THAT SONG WOULD ANNOY THE HEARING IMPAIRED

THIS GAME IS NOT WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR. BUT IT'S NOT A TOTAL LOSS EITHER. ARCADE FANS WILL LOVE IT. IT'S FUNNY HOW N64 PUSHED SO MANY GREAT RACING TITLES, BUT SOME HOW THERE IS SO FEW ON GAMECUBE. BE PATIENT THE BEST RACING GAMES YOU'LL EVER PLAY WILL ARRIVE ON GAMECUBE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT. F-ZERO WHERE ARE YOU?

Garbage

This game is the biggest load of garbage that I've had the displeasure of playing on the GameCube. The controls are terrible, the car handles like it's glued to the road, the CPU opponent seems to have abilities that make no sense (like moving through other cars and walls), and will often completely disappear! On the plus side, the intro movie is pretty nice, and... that's about it. The music for each level doesn't loop -- after one play, it just stops. The sound effects are just terrible, and the graphics really belong on a last generation console. Crazy Taxi is your best bet if you want a taxi driving game. Burnout and XG3 are amazing racing games. Smashing Drive makes me die inside, a little at a time.

could have been better...

i really think this game should never have touched my gamecube. i rented it and returned the next day. the graphics were N64 and it was not in an even slightly free roaming environment. crazy taxi is way way better even if u hate it. This game ... and that's final.

C'mon, this game isnt worth it!

I gave this 2 stars because, this game basically [is bad]. It will probably entertain you for the most of one afternoon. One of the two main problems (and they are big I might add) is the very short game. It consists of 4 levels, (early bird, ect.)and they are all very short. There are some cool things in this game, like using a sonic horn to blow up cars, but the rest of the game is anoyying. You will beat this game in less then an hour. The second thing is the very irritating music. It is a grunge rock kinda song that no one can understand, and it plays over an over again. The worst choice of music in a game ever. I have to say, namco probably did put a lot of work into publishing this program. But at the price, why waste your money. I would have to agree with Gamespot.com, this game will only appeal to true arcade fans.

Smashing Drive. The craziest taxi game.

Finally Namco makes a great game. You rule the ten levels with craziest taxi ( monster truck) ever. The taxi has a buzz saw to cut right through cars. The taxi also has monster truck tires. The taxi has finally the boosters. The taxi makes cars go flying. Thing before you buy a stupid game like Crazy Taxi or Simpsons Road Rage and you'll know to buy Smashing Drive. Namco struck lucky. Smashing Drive is going to be the greatest and craziest taxi game. The best taxi will use the buzz saws to cut through the crazy taxi and the Simpsons car.
