Pros: The "Sonic" horn power-up, sleek framerate, well-synched Rumble at times Cons: Horrendous audio, too short, dated visuals, linear gameplay, heavily repetitive and boresome The Bottom Line: Smashing Drive crosses the line between fun and horribly incoherent gameplay that seriously faulters on all ends. Detour from this sore, it's a bore and not many more. from Shopping.com Pros: The "Sonic" horn power-up, sleek framerate, well-synched Rumble at times Cons: Horrendous audio, too short, dated visuals, linear gameplay, heavily repetitive and boresome The Bottom Line: Smashing Drive crosses the line between fun and horribly incoherent gameplay that seriously faulters on all ends. Detour from this sore, it's a bore and not many more. from Shopping.com 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. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com 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. from Amazon.com I rented this game and thought it was pretty fun... aside from the fact that I beat it in two hours! This is a great game, I think its much more fun than Crazy Taxi, but if you want a challenging game, dont buy Smashing Drive. from Amazon.com Hey have play Crazy Taxi. Do you like it? If you did, Smashing Drive is the game for you. It's a awesome game to beat the best possible time. from Amazon.com This game is a bit like Hydro Thunder in that it's all-out racing and trying to find short-cuts and get power-ups. The graphics are just OK- it kinda looks like it was done to cover a large number of platforms as it's not as good as Luigi or SW:RSL, but the gameplay makes up for it. It's a lot of fun to play. from Amazon.com I was gonna say this game is good in short doses, but it takes only a handful of hours to get through it. It was a bit entertaining because its a pick-up-and-play game, easily getting you in it, but from Cduniverse.com Poor Man's Burnout I was gonna say this game is good in short doses, but it takes only a handful of hours to get through it. It was a bit entertaining because its a pick-up-and-play game, easily from Cduniverse.com
