What We Said Then

Jaz: Once you've mastered the tracks and beaten the Phantom Photon (which doesn't take a vast amount of practice), it all gets rather dull and pointless.

Hard Drivin'

Matt: Megadrive games are expensive, so if you want to play Hard Drivin', go to the arcades and spend a few 10ps - you'll get better value for money.

What We Say Now

Jaz: I played this only the other day to show some mates (hello Sam, David, Adam and Ronnie) who'd made the mistake of renting this stinking cart that with virtually no practice you could make a game last all day. It's not challenging at all and becomes completely dull within an hour. Take 15% off each mark and get thee gone.

Rich: Urrghh! I haven't played this game since it first came into the office. Now I have again I wish I hadn't. Hard Drivin' remains one of the most repetitive games in existence. Deduct 20% from each rating and get this game out of my sight.
