    It really does grow on you, and once you get past the ridiculous premise you end up with a decent poor-man’s "Twisted Metal" that’s worth the budget price and not much more.

    It is arena-driving, shoot-‘em-up action, but the game fails in the department of chills or thrills.

    It's extremely simple, so don't expect to keep this one spinning into the summer months, but it does manage to fill a gamer's need to race around madly and blow things up.

    It's no "Twisted Metal: Black," but you can do worse for $20. [May 2003, p.63]

    A mediocre average effort, falling short of the mark set by Twisted Metal and its heartier clones.
  7. GameSpot

    Everything in the game feels extremely rushed and underpolished.

    No fun to play, no fun to watch, and no fun to listen to.

    What sucks balls is the fact that only two people can play at a time. That's bull.

    The premise is fun and the play control is good, but the driving physics are so incredibly unrealistic that the game loses its edge once the action begins. [June 2003, p.137]

    An audio and visual mess, bottom line.

    As a vehicle combat title, Crush Hour is bad; and as a wrestling game, it's doubly bad. It doesn't matter that it's cheap - you're still throwing your money away if you end up buying it. [May 2003, p.86]

    Crush Hour is like some hick dream—demolition derby mated with pro wrestling—that actually gets old pretty damn quick.

    I smell what THQ is cookin', and it's damn foul... Wrestlers spouting generic one-liners while engaging in car wars is just plain dumb. [May 2003, p.130]

    This game is actually pretty fun. It's easy, basic, kill them all fun. I had a fun time by myself, and a real competitive fun time with This game is actually pretty fun. It's easy, basic, kill them all fun. I had a fun time by myself, and a real competitive fun time with my friends. I just don't understand how this game ties into the WWE liscense. If wrestling wasn't involved, it would probably be a better game, without those stupid 1-liners.… Full Review »

    If you are looking for a WWE game, avoid this one. If you are looking for a Twisted Metal game for the Gamecube, buy this. It is mindless, If you are looking for a WWE game, avoid this one. If you are looking for a Twisted Metal game for the Gamecube, buy this. It is mindless, destructive fun. It isn't mentally stimulating, but it's a video game. It's a good way to take out the day's frustrations. Turn down the commentators (because they are insipid imbeciles), and pretend that it's your boss in those cars - just don't expet wrestling in this thing...it's a car game afterall.… Full Review »
