    Blood Drive is a poor game.

    The game is great fun,but the cheap AI and lack of content really hurts this game.

    The graphics are ugly,and the framerate drops constantly

    Sound design and soundtrack suck too.

    Overall,Blood Drive is a poor game that I would not recommend

    During this review, I will attempt to describe Blood Drive to you in a way that can't really be done. People can easily say "A game is bad", but it's hard to know exactly how bad something is unless you do it yourself. Sort of like when someone says "This smells absolutely awful" and holds it out for you to smell. You take a whiff, to either satisfy your own curiosity or validate the factDuring this review, I will attempt to describe Blood Drive to you in a way that can't really be done. People can easily say "A game is bad", but it's hard to know exactly how bad something is unless you do it yourself. Sort of like when someone says "This smells absolutely awful" and holds it out for you to smell. You take a whiff, to either satisfy your own curiosity or validate the fact that yes, that thing smells terrible. Blood Drive is the video game equivalent of that foul smelling item.

    Blood Drive is a racing game, where you must square off against 5 other vehicles over a series of events, which take place on different maps in a cup. Issue is, all the maps are terrible and there are only about 7 events, many of which boil down to doing the exact same thing. Total Massacre, which gives you points for killing zombies and cars, Zombie Roadkill, points for killing zombies, and Roadkill Elimination, points for killing zombie quickly. Checkpoint Elimination and Checkpoint Race, which is racing between checkpoints (who would have thought?) and King of the Skull, which is Oddball from Halo in cars. Nothing close to fun or original.

    You have 8 characters total to choose from, also none of which are good. They tried to add an element of depth to the game by giving the characters all similar backstories, but it truly adds nothing to the mindless races and cups. The weapons are mostly useless, with only 3 really being worth using whatsoever (minigun, saw blades, and the rail gun). All characters are given special powers called Rage, most of which are (you guessed it) pretty useless. Nothing creative in the weapon department at all.

    Now onto the gameplay...Ah, the gameplay. You will spawn 50 feet in the air, unable to participate in the events. You will get stuck in numerous walls, or flip out multiple times into the air, especially with smaller characters. You will ram another car with the skull 15 times and not get it, but you will get tapped lightly from behind and have it stolen. A Behemoth (insta-kill zombie) will spawn directly in your path without giving you a chance to avoid it. Zombies will not spawn during zombie kill events. Your kills will be stolen an obscene amount of times. This game has no fun factor involved at all. Everything handles terribly, the game looks worse than Twisted Metal: Black on the PS2. and the same boring events will leave you in tears.

    Avoid at all costs, unless you want to experience what hell truly looks like.

    The only thing that would ever bring me back to Blood Drive is knowing it has a kick ass main menu theme.

    Especially now in 2020, there is no reason to play this beyond curiosity when you see it in the bargain bin for $5 .

    Blood Drive is like a radioactive element - admired from a distance, but never to be touched.

    Utterly rubbish, but bizarrely addictive. [March 2011, p.102]

    A total snooze cruise of a car combat game.
