  • the driving looked like sim city wtf

    

  • DUDE you need to mention Race Drivin. I'm confused if it's a sequel or the same game, if it's a sequel, they didn't improve anything lol. Make a review on that please!

  • OK this was not that bad for back in the day, I'm guessing your not very good at playing it, am not have a dig at you or anything. Your video is funny though, less of the screaming - please!

  • well if you are going 80 miles an hour into oncoming traffic in real life the outcome might be pretty similar

  • Comment removed

  • I used to love this game. I just used to crash off the loop purposely. U had to find enjoyment with this game. I did at least lol

  • If I had played this Genesis game back in the early '90s, I would have been in tears of pain from its flaws.  If you want to play a much better Genesis racing game with good 3D graphics, play Sega's Virtua Racing.

  • The Arcade version was great, great framerate and responsive control.

  • you arent lying i hated it....they were not lying about hard

  • Best graphics ever!

  • OMG!!! This game might be horrible (looking back on it) but I had it for Sega and I would play it for hours on end! I had the Sega running through a late 70's top loading VCR and I have multiple tapes of me playing this over and over and over and over.... Not 5 feet from me are these same tapes and VCR (which amazingly still works). Think I'll got watch a couple hours of it and call it a night.

  • @RPKIII lol for real?

  • @rtrgrl78 Yup. For real. I didn't have many friends so I had alot of time on my hands. lol I also had an Atari 7800 hooked up to the VCR. I have 5 or 6 whole games of Atari baseball on tape. OMG! I feel like such a loser right now.

  • @RPKIII Yeah, husband. But your wife loves you anyway, lol. Wink wink! :)

  • The arcade instant replay looks like a bad Machinima made on Powerpoint.

  • My local arcade has this machine. Its also the only arcade game i play when ever i'm there. Its so bad its fun if you ask me.

  • man i remeber how frustrating this game was lol

  • I remember this game as a kid. All I did was run into that red barn over there @3:57 and I still dont know why XD

  • I guess it was called HARD Drivin' for a reason.

  • press 's' to brake yo !

  • pc version is better, its faster and you can use the mouse to control the car

  • nerd rage beware!

  • You should review the Back To the Future Games by JTL thats good watching lol

  • The replays are hillarious in this game.

    Want a good laugh ~ 'Hard Drivin' for the Genesis!

  • 8:30, the car didnt even hit

  • So basically, you never noticed that each turn has a sign before it telling you how fast you should go.

  • Say it with me! Abysmal! Abysmal!

  • Porn Shop ! Lmao

  • The original arcade game was much better, but I would expect you to hate that too as it provides zero spoonfeeding and so requires actual skill, without which you, yes you, would surely become irate.

    Your main frustration stems from the fact that this software was written to be a simulation, requiring control and skill, and you do not even apply yourself to learn how to apply the brakes, let alone use them.

  • @CaptFlanimal I agree, if played in the arcade you couldn't rip it round corners because of the feedback on the steering wheel and since I was only young once the wheel used to twitch panic would set in and once it really kick out I would let it go. Trying to drive it manually was a waste of a 50 pence, might of been £1 when it first came out and watching the replays were quickly skipped since the timer would continue to run. This was Forza back in the day, it was revolutionary.

  • @antichrist666uk You mean "shit" like Forza?

  • i think the ONLY good thing about the game was the instant replays because they were funny like hell.

  • Comment removed

  • i actually remember this PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT GAME!!!

    ah man, good times.

  • Dude, this is the Genesis (or the Mega Drive in the UK where I am). 3D games like this were all the rage. It was the same for Stunt Race FX for the SNES. The controls sucked but it was 3D! Plus, Stunt Race had music and way better sound. Don't expect it to be a perfect game with perfect controls and perfect graphics. I grew up with games like this. Rubbish or good, I always played them. I was a Nintendo fan back then but I liked a few games on the Mega Drive.

  • lmao!!! this video is so fucking funny!!! I remember sucking badly at this game too.. lol.

  • Hard Drivin' was amazing. Your only problem is that you suck at it.

  • This game isn't that bad. I used to be a lot harder on Genesis games when I was a kid (because of SNES envy) but I appreciate them a lot more now. I remember the frame rate being worse than this but seeing it again I'm impressed by how high it was. This game is doing 3D vector math with nothing but a ~8mhz 68000 crunching the numbers - no hardware accelerators or nothing - and it's actually putting on a pretty good show.

  • The Arcade version of this game was actually much better.

  • what did he expect? it was for the damn genesis. hes expecting a perfect game and graphics out of a genesis game? god this guy just annoys the piss out of me. and how does he get video views, who can stand this constant bitching, this is the kind of videos the trolls of REAL videos watch.

  • at least you get a Killcam? xD

  • stop at 0:54 and readd the bottom

    WTF??

  • LOL I like the way you talk

  • i like how he doesnt even mention the car going UP the circualar thingy (looks like sonc thingy

  • The arcade version was amazing for its time. The PC version too! The Genesis version... well, you said all that there is to be said...

  • Yeah, this game is pretty awesome. Not sure what your problem is.

  • 05:17 It says no fuel, but the gas gauge still says 1/2 lol

    Love your videos keep them coming ! <3

  • After watching this, I washed my hands, then went to play on forza to tide back the inevitable insanity setting in, thank you Stan Burdman

  • 3.00 - 4.00 hahahahahahhahahhahahhahahahha­hha

  • It has no music in the level because IT IS A SIMULATOR!!!!

  • @Boxanadu

    simulate a god damn radio!

  • @TheMhn5 Most test cars DO NOT HAVE A FUCKING RADIO!!!!!!!

  • @Boxanadu

    key word: most.

    hehehe

  • @TheMhn5 And by most I mean a vast majority.

  • I actually only used to play this game because of the replays when I crashed. I used to find them sick.

  • Honey Badger doesn't care about this game!

  • lol, couldnt clear the level and bad controls, well the game at least lives up to its name as HARD racing^^

  • lol your so freaking funny :D

  • LOL> COMPTROLLER Sonic the Hedgehog! LOL.

    Also lol, the St. Petersburg '71 car model.

    Try and chill with the God swears and stuff, it makes me not want to watch your videos bud.

  • I thought his least favorite genesis game was that Sylvester game.

  • do the temperature gauges move at all? Is this seriously an 8-bit polygon environment or 16 bit?

  • I want to buy an actually Sega Genesis console to increase my gaming tenfold, and not play this turd.

  • this game really sucks. i got it with my genesis when i was a little kid. i fucking hate this game

  • I do remember this game.. And there is no rewiev to be given a it is as awful as he tells..

  • 03:15 damn i laughed my as of...

  • 3 Frams per second

    cool

  • also remember this is a megadrive its not really designed for 3D styled games otherwise they wouldnt of made the 32x

  • Play the SNES version and you will see what is a bad conversion.

  • Maybe you have to watch more of Stan's reviews to understand this, but I think too many people are mistaken that these are legitimate reviews. Most of the time, Stan has barely played the game or just feels there's enough to make fun of in the game, so he'll rant about it. They're supposed to be funny. If you love a game that he hates, that's fine. Don't take his reviews personally.

  • @narutouzumaki776 well, he not funny and he doesn't care enough about the game to give a decent review. some of the time he doesn't even complete a level. he's pathetic and impotent at gaming and comedy.

  • @alpharaptor1 Like I said, he usually doesn't play much of the game. He does comedic rants. Those are your own opinions, you can state that you don't like him as much as you want. I find his reviews to be funny. I'm not going to sit here and say why he sucks even if I didn't like him or his reviews.

  • eh wat do u expect its an old game and u just seem like a rage quiter

  • ummm yeahhhhh....completely unplayable....

  • "Holy Mario Andretti"....hahaha that made me laugh, but seriously its tolerable

  • Oh wow. I remember playing this game on Sega, and I actually liked it 0_o

    Nuts.

    Barrowed it from a friend. I must have had real shitty games to like this.

  • Im sorry, you are trying too hard. This game was amazing for its t ime and you say there is NOTHING good about the game- are you kidding me? LOL.

  • I don't know why this game is getting so much bad publicity. At least atari attempted to make realistic driving controls.

  • if its a driving simulator why does the road have a loop de loop?

  • 8:15 for sonic the hedgehog fans

  • I had this game, I think I threw it in the trash.

  • its called hard driving for a reason

  • I was disapoited with this game, I would play it, but only to fu*k around, (with the sound down) The car sounded like it only had one gear. I played just to do the most spectacular crashes and watch the replay (which would be often wrong) GOOD TIMES! =-D

  • The Real Driving Shitulator

  • The Real Driving Simulator.

  • Laughed hard at your words. I was so intrigued that I paused in the middle of the video and downloaded Fusion Genesis emulator and the game and played it. Not that hard, maybe because I'm a diehard retro fan, but... You're funny.

  • Nowhere near the arcade version - this looks like a semi-controllable slide show!!! Love the angry review :-)

  • I loved it when you said "IIIIIIIIIIII" to describe the sound effects.Btw,are you british?

  • Up in your description it said the game was also made for the Sega Mega Drive, it's the same thing as the Genesis, when it was shipped to North America it was called the Genesis.

  • I remember playing on Sega Channel that where I played, I loved crashing the house. Heh.

  • I broke this game when i was a kid because it was so damn hard and frustrating lol.

  • has anyone ran into the cow at the corner near the barn - it moos when you hit it

  • hahah ! :D dude you have no car license huh? seriously ;)

  • Sonic the hedgehog is the designer  of the road. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHHAHAA!­! :)

  • commissioner sonic the hedgehog !! that was the funniest thing I have ever heard. I laugh so hard I cried a little. Oh and this is the worst ever driving on genesis. you can wine about how this was first on this and that. and I will give it props for breaking new grounds. but it doesn't take away how terrible the game plays. and a game is all about game play. thats why classics like pacman and tetris are still around.

  • You are hilarious

  • I have been laughing for 10 solid minutes now.

  • this game isn't so bad! i still play it on my original xbox and i like it!

  • sonic lol i lauged so hard

  • Everytime someone tries to be an AVGN and CGR wannabe, and does a poor job at it, God kills a hedgehog and a plumber.

  • When I was a kid, this made me terrified of driving in real life. 10 years after playing this game,driving is 100x easier. Hell finishing college is easier than this damn game!

  • i remember this THE TIME SUCKED BALLS!

    only mine was for snes i think

  • i remember this THE TIME SUCKED BALLS!

  • I think the review is worse than the game. Man you are annoying

  • All you need to know is that the car hit's 0-60 in 4 secs, faster than the testarossa it was modeled after. Not to mention the testarossa SUCKS in the bendy stuff; and will catch fire spontaneously, so that part is authentic

  • Heh, used to play the arcade version of this. Race Drivin' I believe it was.

  • Kinda like live for speed. Made in U.K. It's epic. NO MUSIC THERE!!!

  • Real driver don't listen to music if they are RACING!!!

  • the lynx version was soooo much worse

  • You say this game is bad just because you're bad at it? xP

  • This was an arcade game

  • He went from 0 to 100 in under 2 seconds...?

  • I cant believe Enzo Ferrari allowed his buetiful red head to be plastered on the front of this awful game...

  • the reviewer has got some bad feedback here but I think he's spot on. This is shite x

  • Why when someone is doing a review of a bad game, people go around and say you copy AVGN...

  • you are so damn stupid trying to copy avgn..

  • @beavus1000 bad game reviewers do not automatically want to copy avgn, why Avgn would have the monopoly on bad game reviews?

    The irate gamer is one shitty avgn copier ;) but this one is just reviewing

  • this is funny

    

  • crazy bus want have a word for you..

  • in 1995 i was hoping to the dreamcast

  • That's what he said

  • Your just a kid stropping about games because you lose to them. :')

  • LOL i love this vid

  • LMAO XD

  • LOL "Sonic the Hedgehog is in charge of the road safety in this town"

    Love it!!

  • @hexpinete: I understand what you are saying, but I disagree - if you're going to bother to port something, at least make it playable.

  • im played this in midway arcade treasures 2 and 3, i just laughed how awful the game was. i thought the sound was funny though, but i think it had the 1980's version

  • im played this in midway arcade treasures 2 and 3, i just laughed how awful the game was. i thought the sound was funny though

  • he keeps going on about music, its supposed to be a fuckin simulation you idiot, i admit that the genesis prolly should have done a better job, or mabe leave it alone, it was a tengen game anyway i dont know why sega bothered with it!

  • Comment removed

  • the car was modeled after a testarossa?!?!?! it looks like a friggin cardboard model of a "car". the car in outrun looks more like a testarossa than this one...

  • This version is actually looks better and runs alot better then the SNES counterpart.

    Snes version was garbage, I would play this one.

  • "Who designed this? Commissioner Sonic the Hedgehog?!"

  • My cellphone has better graphics XD

  • hehe square box...

  • mobile phone has better games

  • @hunterkiller9991 and i bet you had cellphone 15 years ago

  • lol narrator is too funny I hated this game

  • yep, it looks nice and fast for a sega genesis. i like the comentator in this movie. He talks like he is really driving in this game , and wind blows right on his face because of excessive speed man, its really realistic to drive in a world of hard drivin :]

  • I guess that's why they call it HARD Drivin'

  • Race Drivin' on the SNES is WAY worse.

  • Hard Drivin' is horribly dated and near unplayable at this point, but at the time, that game was amazing. It was revolutionary and the seminal racing/driving simulator. It's really unfair to review it today and basically ignore what the game stood for and had to offer to the industry when it came out.

  • If you don't like this game, take it back to the porn shop. lol

  • This game actually looks pretty good, maybe you just suck.

  • I take it you didn't like this game then.

  • This is my favorite racing game ever. I like it so much i give it a 10/10. Thumbs up or down if you agree/disagree

    btw it has great sfx and music

    and im not bieng sarcastic

    THIS GAME ROCKS.

  • Poor guy ruined his childhood with this game, you can see it in his frustration! 

  • best racer game ever? destruction derby for nintendo 64, don't act like you don't love it

  • @TheMhn5 YES! I love that game. If only it wasnt so damn easy

  • motorstorm is better

  • There's a huge difference between YOU personally not liking the game and it ACTUALLY being a bad game.

    If you want to have credibility and be respected as a reviewer, I'll advise that you learn the difference

  • @hexpinete The Genesis version really did suck though. I played both the arcade and PC versions and neither were half this bad. Granted they had more power, but you have to keep in mind that the Genesis had other racing games which were far superior to this. The controls were unbearably twitchy and the sounds paled in comparison to rival Genesis games of the time. This one really was pretty crap.

  • @hexpinete i think he's just trying to be funny but idk.

  • This is a genesis port of the first true driving simulator that ever was

    the arcade version had an actual key to start the car along with clutch, acc and brake pedals, and a gear shift , wich for the time was revolutionary

    they even have to figure out algorythms that did not exist to make the weight and speed affect your driving,

    Seriously, it's like saying that gran turismo 5 sucks 30 years from now because it's not on 4Dfuturevision

    It's awesome that you can play it on genesis, regardless

  • @hexpinete He spent ten minutes reviewing a Sega Genesis port of an arcade game, and only mentioned the arcade version briefly. Being based off an arcade game, it was rather short. The frame rate was by far the biggest weakpoint of the genesis port. Despite it's shortness and abysmal frame-rate, it was one of the mot realistic driving simulations at the time.

  • @hexpinete 4d is nothing like 3d therefore 4d tv would basicly be regular tv

  • @hexpinete Spot on man, you cannot call a game worst , if it wasn't even designed to be played on that CPU,

    it's like calling a M.A.M.E emulation of Tempest Tubes ( a vector graphics game ) worst PC game ever because it's not emulated properly,

    i think this is '' excused '' because he just chose a game to go on a rant -AVGN Style- but without everything that makes the Nerd funny

    stanburdman, you should make a review of the first Resident Evil, and name it worst PC character control ever LOL!!

  • @hexpinete while it may of been revolutionary for it's time. That doesn't make it a great game, and doesn't make it any more fun. So i'll give it props for what it did, but that doesn't make it any better of a game.

  • @hexpinete THE GENESIS GAME WAS AWFUL. The arcade simulator was cool.

  • @hexpinete You can't do all that with a Genesis controller now can you?

  • @hexpinete Although I am 16 my friend actually has the arcade version of this game and oh my god it was one of the funnest game I ever played lol Hours of fun.

  • @hexpinete I agree fully. I love the 1st verison in the arcades. Getting into the seat, and turning the key. Shift clutch clutch shift.. drive look out a truck! @__@ I bet, someone some where has one... i would buy it.. pay even $20K for one... Awesome game. ^__^ I 1st played it at a chucky cheese kid zone back in the 90's

    ^___^

  • @hexpinete yes it was a good classic but i would not say they had to develop algarithims more like new methods

  • "Might as well be a F***ing missile"

  • I really need to watch the whole video before posting comments.

  • You can play a much better (I imagine) port of the arcade version of Hard Drivin' in Midway Arcade Treasures 2. According to Wikipedia, the PS2 edition has some issues with this game and the XBox edition is the best overall.

  • Also, look up Hard Drivin' on Wikipedia and you'll discover just how revolutionary the orginal arcade game was. It was literally the first 3D polygonal racer and it came out in 1989-it was built on fully custom hardware so there's little wonder why it didn't translate very well to home consoles-it was simply too far ahead of its time. It came out during a time where polygonal graphics themselves were incredibly rare in games. Even blast processing couldn't handle this thing.

  • I'm pretty sure Hard Driven was originally an Arcade title and this is just a really crappy port for a machine that simply couldn't handle the graphics AT ALL. If they'd done this for the SNES using the FX Chip it probably would've been a different story. Believe it or not there are also versions for the Commodore 64 and Spectrum 128k. Just look at one of the related videos for the Arcade version and you'll see the graphics there are smooth like a knife through butter-and better looking too.

  • When you crash and the music it plays sounds like Porno Music.

  • Oh shit this was great
