Too unforgiving for novice players

The gameplay is horrible. This game does not have a a "easy", "normal" or "hard" configuration, so if you don't have exact hand-eye coordination, this game is unplayable.

The graphics, characters and horns are great, but the game play should allow for a novice player.

1) Still Runnin' - Uncle Jesse has to follow a flat bed truck. For key turns, the truck is off the screen, so you have to guess which way it turned, instead of being able to follow it. A camera control would have fixed this, but you can only look forward or backward, not sideways.

2) Bully around - There is one level where Cooter has to drive around destroying bull-dozers within time limits. This game's time modes are drastically unfair. One slight mistake and you have to retry the level. For someone who doesn't care enough to be 100.00% perfect, 95% should do. The game doesn't give you parameters on how far away the vehicles need to park from eachother. Also those parameters change at each location.

Money wasted!!

On the surface, the game looks good. They have all of the original cast (except for those that have passed away) back to voice their characters in the game. There is a good storyline to be had, but then we get to gameplay itself. In a word TERRIBLE!!! A person spends more than half the time necessary to complete a mission in that you cannot steer the vehicles!! You turn one way and the car oversteers back the otherway. I think whoever set this game up must have been "asleep at the wheel". Also the camera does not do very well following the vehicle (you) around as you drive. Then there were the countless times I would get caught up in fences, trees, etc, and not be able to get out. Now, if you flip and land upside-down the game will flip you right-side up, but get caught up like I did and you have to reset the game and start over. Another problem this game has is check-points, THERE AREN'T ANY!!! Of course if they wanted to make up for that they would have given you the ability to save during a "mission". I suppose if you're an absolute die-hard fan of this show you might enjoy it. I grew up watching the show and found it very disappointing.

Crappy Game

One Word

AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't control the car half the time. The controls are TERRIBLE!!!!!! If you tap the analog or the d pad you do a 360! When you flip, the computer takes it's sweet time putting you up right. I beat the first mission. I played the race with Cooter at least 10 times and could not do it. It's hard to keep from hitting things and flipping.Unless you like this kind of crap, AVOID THIS GAME at all costs!!!!!

The Game was provided in NTSC format and not in PAL format. In this way the game does not work in Italy ( and in Europe). Bad purchase! Bad service!

5% fun and 95% frustration

Overall, sure it's enjoyable. I first played the demo at a friend's house. Then I rented the game, and my best friend and I worked our way through the game. Notice that I did not say we played our way through the game. Unfortunately, it's nothing short of a chore to get through this game. Certain things you have to do have very strict (sometimes on the very brink of impossible) time limits. If you fail to meet your goal in time, then it starts you at the very beginning of that "mission," if you will. But you may have worked for hours to get where you are.

This game does not let you save very often, and there are no options in terms of difficulty levels. If that feature had been added, I would have much better things to say about this game. This game has a level of re-playability only to the extent at which you remember the frustrations you endured during your first run of gameplay. I re-started the game one night, but after a few minutes decided, "Oh yeah, I remember how irritating this game eventually became." So, I quit.

It's sad that the people who made this game were unaware of the fact that not every game-player is born with a silver controller in his mouth. But they were obviously expecting their target audience to be absolutely perfect in terms of hand-eye coordination on the controller.

I recommend everyone to avoid this game and wait for the developers to produce a game which proves that they are in touch with their market.

Return of the general lee is alright at best

The game is alright.Number one problem THE GENERAL LEE it's to high off the ground and to bright of an orange. If you look at the TV Show the car is alot darker orange then it is in the game. The front bumper and the back bumper needs to be lower to the ground and the push bar is to wide. The words on the roof that says general lee needs to be blue not black.The front of the general lee is to sloppy compered to the real 1969 Dodge Charger.Now lets talk about the gameplay. Ratbag tried but they came up very short. They need to stick to the other games they make. Warner Brothers Should of Got EA to make the game or Atari. When you are driving the general it slides and does 180 s and 360s just by tapping the analog stick. Driving overal just feels like driving on ice. Now lets move on Hazzard County the whole place is pretty impressive but could be a whole lot bigger. Besides a couple of Pretty noticable facts. Cooters Place isn't in the middle of nowhere it's in the town. The town is way to small i know that it's small in the tv show but not that small. The Actors did a great job of bringing the charcters to life and sounding authentic enough to sell the game. But the fact that the game is way to short. I can beat it in 3 times in an hour and a half. I'am a die hard dukes fan thats the only reason i bought. PLEASE SOMEBODY MAKE THIS GAME BETTER.

My son LOVES this game

This game is pretty good! The jumps are awsome and missions are okay.A cool game for DUKES OF HAZZARD fans. But still the game can be very frustrating at times.For example, THE CONTROLLS!!!
When you try to do a 190 (or bigger) you spin out of controll most of the time.The missions can also be very frustrating. It almost made me smash the controller on the floor! If I were you I would think hard about buying this game.

I bought the game as a x-mas gift for my daughter. She was very happy because she really loves the game. It came very fast and it was new and in the package like it said it would be. She plays it for hours.

Well, it's not GTA or The Getaway, but it's sure to entertain the Rebel Teen Male in your family. Daisy's driving leaves a lot to be desired. Wish there was better 2-player stuff, but for the DOH fan, this is a good effort.
