Smashing Drive

The Good
It was very east to learn how to play. You just run into everything until you figure out how to beat the clock. It is easy to control. And easy to learn the best way through a level and find some shortcuts along the way. After an hour drive home from work 10 miles away sometimes it's nice to take out frustrations by a little road rage. It is the kind of game usually gets overlooked so used copies are a great bargain.

The Bad
You do have to keep repeating levels over and over again until you learn the shortcuts. It seems you need to find them to complete some levels even if avoiding other vehicles and making the best time possible.

The Bottom Line
It is a combination of many existing racing action games. Jump in your demon taxi and plow your way through downtown streets looking for wild powerups and secret areas. It is an excellent 2 player split screen race. Excellent cartoonish mayhem for kids even.
