Smashing Drive: Arcade Mode - No Continues

[@rickydo6572]

This looks like a game you'd play in a dream.

[@thewildking999]

I had dream so damn similar to this its insane and then i saw this game in a hotel arcade and instantly got reminded of the dream it wass wild

[@cameronpottle5409]

That’d be a crazy fun dream

[@rodytalks3989]

I love how this game is an example of how a linear game with branching paths can be so rewarding. We don’t need sandboxes all the time

[@ianaddison6277]

This was the only reason I would go to a bowling alley. I remember the setup and the location in the arcade room. I haven't played it for 12 years.

[@machtnichtsseimann]

A local arcade had this game in it to play...for FREE! Never knew of it from way back, but it's a lot of fun, slightly annoying music and all. Some comical touches that gave me a laugh. Definitely give it a try if/whenever you see it around.

[@504gaming4]

The music is the best part lol

[@gametjeHeartfeltMessages]

Wtf for free? I had to pay 1€ a try and yeah back then emulators and such were less popular talking about 11 or more years ago cant remember. this game is fun as hell and challanging because of so many routes and i like the music good teenage game times never managed to finish it tho only 2 maps and not enough time on rush hour i pick it last cause its the hardest for me always last part with the dino museum

[@machtnichtsseimann]

@@gametjeHeartfeltMessages - I know. That arcade spoiled me! LOL. Fun and funny game...King Kong and his head. Yeah, the music was pretty cool and fit the game.

[@luke2806]

the music is soo odd. i've never heard anything so bad with a production behind it. sounds like the singer recorded his vocals in a public bathroom.

[@tino9117]

The music is very avant garde, I kinda love it cause of that, it's so obnoxiously early 2000s it's fasinating, Night Owl is my fav cause it's like somehow both energetic AND chill

man even in an improved version I still can't understand what's being sung

[@henriquedearruda8902]

What are they singing by the way?

[@DJKevin97]

Probably singing about recklessly driving a taxi. It's what I notice listening to the game's music. As for the lyrics, beats me.

Loosen up your diapers

[@ah2190]

12:10 - You were saying no time outs? It wasn't for long, but I saw a time out here. And then there was a longer blatant time out at about 12:57, so... Yeah, you possibly should had called it a 1CC run. I know it's a bit of nitpicking, but I have a mild OCD case with stuff like this.

[@Fools_Requiem]

This game seems so dull if you play it efficiently in order to actually make the extremely tight checkpoints, but you have to play like this in order to stand a chance. This game says "Look at all these fun routes you can take and all these fun things you can do, but if you don't take the right route and use the right powerups, you won't make it to the end." And the awful music doesn't help.

[@alejandrom4643]

Can you get this game for PC or where can you Play it? Also a lot of noataligia for me, we played it every year on vacation, near our campsite, almost every night.

Let's just say if this Arcade Game was made by SEGA then they would have fix the issues in this Game and make into an Awesome Arcade Game just like Crazy Taxi but it turns out Namco made this Arcade Game and i can understand what are the problems this Game had when it come on both the Consoles GameCube and Original Xbox. Smashing Drive has so many short-cuts you can take, this arcade game can be difficult since the time does not gave us any extra time instead gives us less time can be unfair, and lastly the songs seems to be quite wrong did the composers ever thought to get the lyrics right for these songs in a way it is good but also annoying. A part from the issues i like Smashing Drive Arcade Game.
