DOH "Return Of The General Lee" game review

[DaneyDuke]

I recommend folks rent the new video game before purchasing.

It has excellent graphics!!! Original cast voices is a plus. Some of the adventures are not too bad... it seems to be more for an adult audience than kids.

At least one level of free roam and multi player, open for folks who don’t want to do the missions would have been nice.

There is a "Dixie" horn control button and one for yeehaa.

The instruction booklet was disappointing, for the fact that it doesn’t give a listing of the one player mode missions. Both playstation 1 DOH games had an “episode†guide.

Unlike other games where the map is in the corner, you have to press start to pause the game and view. OR select button will get you a transparent over the area you are driving in game map.

No "health" bar to let you know how damaged the vehicle is. And it varies from scene to scene, just how much it takes to wreck the General, patrol car, etc.

The car can slide or spin way too easily.

Only three save spots, you can't put your name, it's just file: A, B, C. It doesn't take you back to the exact point you left off, you restart from the beginning of that entire mission.

It would have been nice to pick from amatuer, immediate, and professional playing levels. Instead it's the same for everyone.

Features I would’ve liked, other folks might not have. I do want to thank the makers of “Return Of The General Leeâ€, for at least takin' a chance on this game.

thanks for the review. Now I gotta get a PS2 for X-mas. I really wanted Nintendo for the Zelda games, but now with the dukes game olbly for X-box znd Sony I will end up getting it for the kids...Yeah right...LOL

One question , Is the flag on the General Lee or is it the same as in the preview on the DVD set?

Just found the board so very new, very cool though. Game is very cool except for the things Daney has already mentioned. Some are the things are hard to find, like some of the best time runs, and still have not got multiplayer unlocked, know if there is a guide or anywhere with hints on where things are?

[DaneyDuke]

=) Welcome to Hnet, Kevin. I thought I was little harsh in my review until I saw your post. Thanks.

Haven't found a "walk thru" for the game yet.

[SouthernRoots]

did you say there was or was not a free roam option on the game? and you guys might want to try www.gamewinners.com for them hints and walk throughs they have been pretty good at being up to date...

Keep It In Hazzard, Thanks

[DaneyDuke]

Yes, free roam and two player are available, providing the video game player is able to unlock it in the previous mission.

Welcome to Hnet. =)

I had to put a PS2 on my X-mas list , well the family list, just so I could get the DOH game. I might get it for my kids sine they will play it more than me and most of thier friends have PS 2....I still would rather have an old Atari 2600 , that is more my level anyway....lol

How much does the PS2 cost these days? I'll admit, I ain't owned a home game system since....I'm not gonna say it and embarass myself. I'm lucky I have a working computer at the moment, so you know how it is.

[DaneyDuke]

The Playstation 2 is now around $120 to $150 depending on where it's purchased. Half the price of when it first came out.

As for computers, I'd offer you mine but it's got this annoying habit of being vulnerable to drive by spy/mal/adware jackings. Hope your computer is running better now.
