Hard Drivin' for Genesis


Image: MobyGames

Hard Drivin'

Hardly driving


Genre: simulation - driving

Publisher: Tengen

Year: 1990

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

This isn't a game. It's a tech demo. A 3 minute long tech demo


Level Design Score: 0

Level Design Notes:

One track that can be fully explored in 3 minutes. Yeah


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Pure nostalgia might invite you to try this driving sim but there's nothing to draw you in. This is the most paper thin game ever made.


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

The dithering is omnipresent. Half of the polygons are a flat color and texture while the alternating polygons are a pixelated mess. Truly horrifying. That said, the framerate is much better than Race Driving on SNES. But yeah, this game is hideous.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

A rare example of a Genesis game with worse music than sound effects. The engine noise is satisfying as are the tire squeal and...the crash isn't too bad. Maybe that's all the noises. Hmm


Overall Score: 5

Review ID: 961
