Customer Reviews of Knight Rider

How demeaning! I can't believe they ported this to PS2.
I, like everyone else anticipated the release of this game. Being a Knight Rider fan probably since I was a year old in 1982 I was excited to hear that this little unknown company called "Davilex" was going to make a KR game for the Playstation and PC. I thought "Heck yeah! This will sure beat having to use add on KITT-cars in NFS4!" I got my golden opportunity when I saw KR for PC selling for $5 at Game Stop. <

>But I was only to be let down by this shoddy representation of my fave 80's TV series. Don't get me wrong, the graphics are hella awesome and it runs incredibly well, but the gameplay and the missions are total crap. There is very little challenge at all except for those few times when you can't beat a part because your confused about what to do. You gotta go around scanning/micro-jamming things. You have to chase down suspect vehicles and bump into them to lower their "health" bar so they'll stop moving.. but where's the visible damage? <

>KITT is also not quite as fast as he should be (or able to jump as high). He had a normal speed of 200MPH and a top speed of 450MPH in Super Pursuit Mode. In this game you're lucky to hit 180 in SPM. The most idiotic thing about the game is having to turbo-boost from rooftop to rooftop. Hey programmer guys, wouldn't it be easier to just have Michael get OUT of the car and WALK up the stairs? Y'know he DID get out of the car quite alot in the tv show. And he had that wristwatch that KITT used to scan safes and electronic doors. <
> <
>The short, enclosed battles are pretty lame too. You don't have any weapons so you just end up playing bumper cars with Goliath, whom is suprisingly easy to kill for being a huge semi with KITT's molecular bonded shell. This is of course, if he doesn't run over top of you and sit on you. Should a semi be able to rest on top of a Trans Am and it not flatten like a pancake? <
> <
>Baaaaaad physics. <
> <
>The battle with KARR is just as lame and his moves are as predictable as a Megaman boss. Why doesn't KARR use turbo boost, ski-mode, or any of those other things KITT has? Where's the laser they used on him in the episodes "Trust Doesn't Rust" and "KITT vs. KARR?" Where's the two drunken hobos who accidentally re-activated KARR in the first place? Y'know, Tony and The Rev? Or that guy who's girlfriend KARR threatened to suffocate by removing all the oxygen from the vehicle interior? <
> <
>Then there's the voice acting. Michael and Devon sound okay I guess. KITT doesn't sound quite like he should. And KARR sounds suspisciously similar to Freeza from DBZ. Nothing at all like Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime). I think the reason this game isn't that great is because Davilex probably spent the majority of their money paying the liscencing fee for the rights to use Knight Rider for their game. After that they didn't have enough left over to hire good production staff. <

>They kinda figured most KR fans out thre would buy the game simply for nostaglia purposes and wouldn't be all that critical if the game sucked.

I Want More
I pre-ordered this game and got my hopes very high. I loved the series so much that I was hoping this game would meet all the same standards. It didn't. First, let me express that it is in no way poorly written. The graphics, as I'm sure you can tell from the other reviews, are great. The gameplay, fun. There are however two things. First, it is entirely too easy. I was able to beat it in 2 days, without actually trying. Second, it is short. The missions are not like other games I have played, where they actually keep going. These just stop. Which is an obvious attempt by Tri Synergy to make more money. All-in-all, a good game, however, you might want to wait for the next one to come out. Maybe it will be longer.

Waiting for 2nd one due out in November 04
This is the only rating I have ever left. If you play the game in order it has a continuing plot, It's like an interactive TV show. [A code: roam01 in campain mode-then go to massion mode, will let you play them in any order.] I love this game and I'm a 39 yr old woman, My 4 yr old son loves it too and can do some missions on his own in easy mode. We have only used it in easy mode, that's hard enough for us, so far :) We are waiting for Knight Rider 2 due out in November 2004. Older kids would love this too probably up to about 13 or so, or any fan of the show. My 17 year old son says even he's not too old for it. :)
