What a flippin' pile of shit!

I had high hopes for the new Knight Rider game. I thought that this might
finally bring Knight Rider back into fasion. I expected a beautiful
recreation of the TV series, with all the bells and whistles.

What I got was the biggest pile of shite I've ever played. Straight from the
menu screen I wasn't impressed. The lack of options and tweakable settings
was a disgrace, but I held on to the hope that the game might be able to
live out my dreams. I've never been so dissapointed!

Have you ever played a racing game (whether it's a simulator or an arcade
racer) with such terrible handling. Micro Machines on the Mega Drive was a
thousand times more realistic!

It's just so appauling that I refuse to go any further!

Let us never talk of such shite ever again! (although I know you will,
probably just to***me off ;-)

Ok, I have been playing the game a bit now, and please note, I LOVE Knight
Rider, but this game is not too great. As you say, the graphics suck (even
tried it again on 'high', still sucked), the movement of the car TOTALLY
sucks, even with the sensivity cranked all the way up, and the rest is just
kind of lame, IMHO.

I will keep playing it, and get through all the missions before I call it a
shit-game, but it is not looking good...

No offence to the likers of the game of the crowd either. :-)

Surely this can't be a serious post?  ROFL!  Geez - I grew up watching that
show (even liked it, at the time), and I've recently gone back to re-watch
several of my other childhood shows for nostalgic reasons, but a sim based
on Knight Rider?  WTF would I want that?  Let's (ahem) *simulate* hitting
Turbo Boost and jumping a freight train...?!  *Simulate* sleeping while my
car drives itself up and down a mountain road, eluding squad cars..?!
Bwa-ha-ha!  That'd be sweet!

Pretty much sums up the tv series as well   ;)

Must say I admire the audacity to even mention this game on a car
simulation newsgroup, though.

On the other hand, this thing could be worth buying for the joke value alone
and, but for the original poster's audacity to _cross_ post it to RAS, we
may never have heard about it.

Yes, well apparently there's a market for this:

I'm proud to say I grit my teeth and, with much pain and anguish, finished the
demo.

I'm also proud to say this game is definitely the very WORST driving/racing game
I've ever played so far in my long 13 years of PC ***.

Clinic monkeys on severe shock therapy could make a better game.
