SummarySmashing Drive isn't a great racing game, but it is fine for what it is: a simple, graphically impressive racer that can be played in short bursts.

Short, mindless fun.

It's not innovative, it's not a sequel and the graphics are below the quality of "Crazy Taxi," a driving game that's nearly four years old.

The title’s sub-par graphics and limited options don’t make it a must-have, but the mindless action is fun for short periods of time.

Despite the chaos you can create, everything happens at the same time for the same reasons. There will always be a cop car with its lights on at this corner; that boat will always be there at this time, etc.

Everything about Smashing Drive smacks of laziness.
34
It's just so shallow and lacking any kind of noticeable depth.
16
It's got graphics befitting of the N64, bizarre music that’s a mish-mash of different styles and horribly shallow, agonizingly repetitive gameplay that makes playing the game for five minutes seem like five hours.

This was one of the first video games I ever played. That being said, I enjoyed it because gaming was a new concept to me. When I look back I realize it wasn't the greatest, but I still had fun as a kid.

cheap is one word that could summarize this game. The graphics are horrendous. This is the only game that I could fully beat in 30 minutes. For crying out loud, you do not even do anything a real taxi even does. there are plenty of better Gamecube racing games out there
