One of the scummy UK mags which love to suck up to advertisers er..
Publishers, gave it 40%.

It's bound to be a turkey.

This was the biggest bummer of the century. I loved Interstate 76, one
of my all time favorite games. The atmosphere, the music, the story
and the gameplay were superb. Multiplayer was a blast.

Interstate 82 is garbage compared to I76. EVERYTHING in I82 is worse
than in I76. Graphics look crap, the music is nowhere as good as the
groovy 70s music of I76, and the gameplay is really bad. I82 is no fun
at all.

I had some problems configuring my LWFF wheel in I82. I mailed
Activision, and got a personal reply within half an hour, this was
superb, something of which many companies can learn.
But I didn't like the answer. It was something like 'we wish we could
help you, but I82 was not designed to work with a wheel, and the game
has not been tested with wheels.

I driving game which was not designed to use with wheels? WHAT?

This one lasted about 1 hour on my system. Oh was this one a stinkburger.
I was very fond of I76, and was very into that community. I eagerly looked
forward to I82. I was very, very disappointed. I can't recommend this title
at all.

I loved I76 and downloaded the I82 demo. Wow what a disappointment this game
was. It looked like a stupid arcade game. After messing with it for about 30
seconds I quickly removed it from my harddrive! So much for a game with a
plot, interesting missions, entertaining characters and a Starsky and Hutch
feeling like the original.

I liked the first one better, its good how you can exit the cars, but its a
bit dodgey when you get hit by a car or shot. The fact that you can make
the cars go back on their wheels after you roll it is also pretty crappy.
It is a bit of mindless fun, but It wont keep you entertained for a long
time

In fact, I believe this is the general consensus, at least in r.a.s...
I was totally jazzed about I'82, but after seeing the initial
reactions on this board, I never picked it up. Apparently the I'82
designers were all smoking crack.
