Classic Game Room - BLOOD DRIVE for PS3 review

[@KingGameReview]

I always wondered what happened to this genre... Twisted Metal, Vigilante 8, and Rogue Trip were some of my favorite games from the late 90s.

[@thefirkman7400]

I think mainstream interest in Car Combat games died off in the early to mid 2000s. Sure, Twisted Metal still stuck around, and a few car combat games showed up every couple of years, but they just weren't being thrown onto store shelves like in the 90s. Even at the time of your comment the only car combat games around was Twisted Metal for the PS3, Blood Drive, Rage, and Blur, though Rage is more like a first person shooter with car combat features and Blur is basically Mario Kart with licensed cars.

[@LGR]

@Drag2hand Yeah, but he's referring to a game - Vigilante 8. It's often just referred to as "V8" so saying Vigilante V8 is redundant.

[@arrowslice6741]

Been collecting PS3 games again and man I miss this channel…

[@cinekinisi]

I love your reviews! You can beat gamespot, ign etc. Your reviews are funny and you get straight to the point : if the game is fun or not. You are one of the few TRUE reviewers out there. You rock keep it up! :)

[@h20DDs]

Nice review. The guy at the beginning making the sound effects like an ambulance vehicle sounded funny. This game also kind of reminds me of RoadKill on the GameCube with a little bit of Cel Damage.

[@Hotep93]

cool game,rpg,fighting games and vehicle combat are my favorite videogame genres.

[@Tweeekz]

This looks awesome. I used to play Carmageddon and Twisted metal on PS1 and if the weapons have a good feel, this must be a good game.

[@Bloody-Butterfly]

Barely known, forgotten, tons of fun

[@LGR]

The "Vigilante V8" phrase consistently bothers. That's like saying Vigilante Vigilante 8. Oh well, the Blood Drive game looks decent, may give it a try.

[@transcendental-nuke]

How could you forget to mention the Carmageddon influence this game has?

[@OmegaDeman]

Interesting. Will have to give this a try.

[@Westplay]

Carmageddon mixed with Dead Rising, must be fun!

[@sandamn85]

@ignaciojork wouldn't be easier to install a virtual machine with win98 on the new computer? :) you can configure it however you want.

[@jhj22]

This game is an updated version of a Playstation 2 game called Zombie Virus (in Europe). Also known as Zombie vs Ambulance in Japan. They took out the Survivors mode and made it into a Running Man/Death Race TV Gameshow type game. Zombie Virus though also works kind of like Dyter-7 for the Amiga/Atari ST. The People you save will make new stuff for your car.

[@Deyshawngamer]

Nice review man, keep up the good work.

[@terrybroadway]

@xBXRxAaron Yup. I have to go to my subscriptions page to view them. KZbin must be working on something

[@Dukefazon]

Looks nice. The announcer style is really like in Unreal Tournament.

[@helmerdrake]

CGR reviews are the best. Since they do New,Old and don't concentrate on Multiplayer!

[@SteelSkin667]

Id does look a lot like the censored versions of Carmageddon. Looks awesome indeed.

[@sapphiretiger1]

Game looks awesome, its like carmagedon, dead rising and destruction derby I NEED THIS GAME

[@IMaximusDMI]

Howard Dean @ 1:07?

[@desan476]

i really would like to know where all the tokens are... i miss one in "helter smellter", one in "strip" and three in "gauntlet"... i am quite pissed of cuz i would like to see the concept art gallery but i am not able to find them all god damn it! anyone help?

[@norman1421]

you haven't mencioned Carmageddon once! Good review though.

[@SIMSIH]

thumbs up for car at 2:43 lookin' awsome!

[@havoc17PL]

@SonicXSTH do you mean Zombie Driver?

[@MhnFive]

what happen to vigelante 8?

[@AlexTheAverageKid]

This actually looks pretty fun - I used to play a LOT of Vigilante 8 back in the day

[@Helvetica_Scenario]

I might have to give this a try. I love Twisted Metal, but at the rate those games are coming out, part 3 will take another couple of years.

[@theParturiMan]

Would be awesome if you would review Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, 3 or CTR Those are damn awesome and fun to play.

[@daveKoRnfan]

listining to the comentator in the game was bugging me who it sounded like then it hit me intel from crackdown does anyone know if im write? because i think it sounds like him

[@hippa2dahoppa2]

i got this game yesterday its good to kill time, trophies dont seem to to hard to get. the issue with this game is your car flying in the air over every little thing. alot of these matches are timed and u hit a bump and go flying in the air and you hover there forever then u bounce around and explode it becomes a huge problem! then someone hits you and u go flying in the air again! thats my main issue with this game. and the turn radius sucks. limited guns u often cant kill ne1 cuz u have no gun

[@RandomTrash420]

is this disc based or downloadable? also is it only multiplayer or is there single player?

[@savvasyo]

@SonicXSTH do you mean Clutch ?

[@cornchippers]

@xBXRxAaron Yeah I missed like 2 days of my subscriptions and I didn't realize it until I actual went to the subscription menu!!!

[@gmanleader0]

I remember this being similar to another game with cars and zombies which you could upgrade and put spikes on and that kind of stuff, could anyone tell me what it was? It's not carmaggeddon :\ and it's not that arcade game either

[@b3ans4eva]

Wished you mentioned that it was developed in New Zealand.

[@a-s-robot4673]

The host in this game sounds like Chase McCain from Lego City Undercover. 2:53

[@HuntedEnemy]

3:59 = Day One map from Gears of War 2?

[@SmilingDepression]

@refard5 its a new youtube bug , a few vlogger talked about it

[@matt92hun]

Seriously, in the first game physics were applied to each wheel individually, so if something pushed your wheels to the car, they hardly, or didn't turn. Which game does that nowadays?

[@J4CKM4N2266]

If you have Dead rising 2 and u enjoy the Terror Is Reality minigame thinggo u may like this. HOWEVER, if you got bored of that feature quick then I would say to give this a miss. But it still looks fun and I will play it on Xbox 360.

[@TheBoodle23]

@MrBullseyeProduction Thanks, good to know it's not just my ineptitude.

[@Synetearis]

@RyunSharp Hell yeah!! Carma remains my fav game, realtime damage and awesome physics!! It was the best for its days,.. underrated though..I miss those days.. good memories...

[@xBXRxAaron]

Any one else subscriptions keep disappearing when you go to the homepage?

[@lctb51]

Lol commercial for the weather channel before the video, who spends there life/time watching the weather channel! I only watch it for the local forecast!!

[@MANTASYNTH]

@SonicXSTH Carmageddon?

[@idol1506]

does this have split screen?

[@Lemon77UG]

@RyunSharp: Some of the powerups in Carmageddon 2000 were so disgusting I couldn't play the game after a while. Block heads? Stick people? Uggggghhhhhhhhh...

[@SmilingDepression]

@MrLazyEyes uh.. i said that because its the best way to know whats going on with youtube since they dont write it in the front page when something is going on

[@kirby010694]

I've had my eye on this game for awhile now. the only good thing is that its probably going to be like 20$ before christmas so i can just buy me and my friends a copy of it :3

[@Skyk0rn]

@imascatmanworld yeah, thanks bro.

[@daveKoRnfan]

anything that looks like twisted metal is good in my books

[@JosefStaliner]

@rousseau1films i agree 100% except the frame rates, that's necessary

[@Skyk0rn]

is it only for the ps3?

[@roningarrison]

I miss Twisted metal. TM Black was sweet. I lost a ton of years playing Twisted metal 2 so these games will always catch my interest. With that being said..0:57 weee wooo weee wooo

[@TommyHellfire]

@therealKINDLE True. Carmageddon 2 was the best. If they did a remake of carma 2 I would pay full price for it. The physics were so impressive for it's time! The handling was semi-realistic, it was a pretty tough game to master, but well worth it.

[@nightmathzombieethan]

They need to make another Interstate 76 style game... Carmegeddon was fun (& Twisted Metal was too) but I76 would be kick-ass nowadays...

[@joelgayozo]

is the same as vigilante 8 was a great game and this is your back but I love to play I love how it look

[@TruckSawdust]

@SLRMC93 Yeah, you're right, but Carmageddon was definetly inspired by TM in my opinion. Never really played Carmageddon, but TM: World Tour is one of my favorite games of all time. Blood Drive, though, I'm not liking as much as I'd hoped. Anxiously awaiting the New Twisted Metal, though :)

[@themegagamesgamer]

WHOA THAT LOOKS SO COOL!

[@imascatmanworld]

@Skyk0rn its also for xbox 360 he said it

[@1destroyer5x]

@xBXRxAaron KZbin seriously needs to get their act together and fix all these subscription issues.

[@AudioPhile]

Ahhhh, Carmeggedon. Win the race, take every other car out before the finish or kill every single last person on the map. And to the soundtrack of fear factory, I think it was demanufacture, i was in heaven. I put so many hours into that game.

[@MattGlant]

who's that guy who killed you in the beggie by the way?

[@limegreensquid]

But does it have Local Multiuplayer, and when will developers remember that the purpose of getting a home console is to play WITH your brother or sister or girlfriend or whoever?

[@SLRMC93]

@peterlust26 how? Carmageddon is racing, TM is just shoot shit up, Carmageddon is about killing peds with just your car, while trying to reach the finish line, TM is about killing your opponents with guns, trust me I LOVE Twisted metal, and Carmageddon pretty much equally, but I fail to see how Carmageddon ripped off TM, but blood drive.........it's a pretty good mix of both, I've played it, it's fun, and I think it's a little underrated, but in the end its still a clone of two great games.

[@Audiojack_]

Nothing will ever replace Carmageddon 1 in my heart.

[@4PeacexDarkness]

when comparing two games, make sure to look at the date of release...

[@gmanleader0]

@Glenndeman4fun No :(, see what i mean, it's really hard to find a particular game if rarely anyone knows it

[@1bardh1]

is this a DLC or a CD game?

[@tupac4life84]

@VoidKeeper me too i hope mark reviews the new twisted metal also

[@dark1ankh]

I also see a Interstate 82 influence :)

[@MojoSmelz]

reminds me of this ps2 game called cell drive overload, or something like that.

[@pkm100]

this is for xbox ? awesome i though only ps3 still gets some retro gameplay style games :)

[@MyMintBerryCrunch]

im not sure if i want to take a risk and buy this game

[@Xegethra]

@rousseau1films i agree save for originality...originaly breeds new ideas. of course nothing can be original all the time though....but fun for me at least isnt just in the graphics and frame rate

[@exiledPostman]

I like how people are bitching about this game not being original, but when was the last time a good vehicular combat game came out? Twisted Metal Black came out in 2002? Head-On for ps2 came out in 2006? So two games in a decade. I think it's okay to have a few more games like that.

[@PARAPETTI]

@rousseau1films i agree though if framerate is bad it can ruin the experience as the game wouldn t run smoothly and graphics arent thsat important but if they r great they r great but they shouldn t take away from the fun factor and the gameplay :)

[@lemonlimestiv]

@xBXRxAaron im sure it will fix itself soon!

[@genx304]

@xBXRxAaron yes

[@slamma_jamma]

was on sale for 4.89 at gamestop yesterday... still didnt get it... waitin for twisted metal

[@iwilleaturchickennugget3289]

I miss my chillhood when i play this Video

[@73C4N0]

Cool! I gonna get one now

[@SonicXSTH]

There is a PC game, similar to this one, but I don't remember the name of that game. :/

[@SpiralPegasus]

I thought I was alone with Carmaggedon. The number of replies quoting it (and obviously Twisted Metal) made me happy hahaha.

[@Lorderath]

@SLRMC93 soo what?...finally a good remake of the ultimate gam the armageddon :D

[@Ezakur]

@xBXRxAaron Specially CGR and UNDERTOW

[@Joykeymusic]

@phreakindee Gotta have a v8

[@eurohim]

They should have Blood Ocean by Dethklok playing in the background.

[@hej100]

@Alan27Jorn for me it started like yesterday

[@iodineclip]

can zombies breed?

[@groovefiend25]

3:00 thats not gorge fisher

[@12345gigiddy]

@cosmo149 yes

[@BennyBallbreaker]

So I remember I saw something like this about two decades ago. Have we REALLY stooped so low as to take games from the DOS ages and claim them as new?

[@MattGlant]

lemme guess M right?

[@sonothehedgehog]

@MagFlare true, true

[@bibbisbibbis]

@dargici Yeah, figured...

[@excalibunny]

More classic game reviews!

[@KogeyFox]

@SaitoFortexX I was thinking the same exact thing

[@leevioutrageous]

you forgot to mention carmageddon
