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 piss me off ;-)

When did they decide to do a Knight Rider game??? Never even heard that before today ...

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. :-) -- 80Knight (1991 Pontiac Grand Prix SE Sedan) "One Man, Can Make A Difference."

I've never been so dissapointed! 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. Regards, Ruud

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. Jan. =---

Yes, well apparently there's a market for this: http://www.knightreplicas.com/index.html I'll just let you look through there without comment ;)... Kendt

> I had high hopes for the new Knight Rider game. 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 gaming. Clinic monkeys on severe shock therapy could make a better game.

I dont know, but the fact that it is actually one of his songs and it seems to somewhat go together leads me to think it is totally authentic :) "Jan Verschueren" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:dhMN9.67304$[email hidden]...

It'd be fine if it did 'simulate' these situations, but it doesn't. It's just a case of holding down the correct button at the correct time and hoping for the best. Don't get me wrong, I think the TV series was fantastic! Without a doubt it's my favourite show and I can't wait for the day when they release all the episodes on DVD. But nevertheless, the game still sucks!

Trust the Germans to find this kind of thing entertaining! Notice how much weight he's put on? This is the same man who once drove around in my dream car, and married my dream woman. Just goes to show how the good life can send you over the edge. :-) "Goy Larsen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Come on, this is the same man who forgot he was white and grew an afro! Looking back at that video he probably thinks he looks hip, cool, fly - and all the other words which men of his age use during their mid-life crisis!

How many seasons did Baywatch run ? He came across as a total twat in just about every episode there as well, yeah I watched quite a few for obvious reasons but fewer and fewer after the lovely miss Eleniak left the show :-), didn't stop him, or do you suggest that BW was one continuos parody ? In which case I much prefer "Son of the beach".....:-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

I have only played the demo version of it and grafix were fine for me(Res on High) the steering is loosey-goosey but i got used to it.
