The Dukes of Hazzard: Racing for Home
PlayStation version
Not bad, considering
The Good
When I played RFH, I had high hopes. "Hot diggity, a Dukes of Hazzard game. YEE-HAW." All of the cars I love are in this game, Dixie, Jesse's pickup, and also the absolutely beautiful General Lee. The General is surprisingly easy to drive. The missions are mostly "Get from one place to the other in the General Lee whilst avoiding the Hazzard constabulary, or the bad guys" which is fine by me.
All in all, I liked the game, however.
The Bad
As I said, the General Lee is easy to drive, the other cars you get to drive however (Boss's caddy, for example) are all over the road. There is one set of missions, in particular, that really started me growling. The car (which was Jesse's moonshine runnin car, Black Tillie) would not stay on the road for nothing. The absence of quite a few of the original cast lending their voices to the game doesn't go unnoticed either.
The Bottom Line
If you truly enjoyed the Dukes of Hazzard, go with Daisy Dukes it Out, or maybe Return of the General Lee. If you kind of enjoyed the show, or just saw the movie, go for it. Play this game.
