Game Company’s Description: Drive it hard and drive it fast with The King of Route 66 for PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system. Prepare to climb inside the cab of a nitro-powered 18-wheeler and haul ass from Illinois to California in a mad dash for cash. But this big rig road trip isn’t your ordinary out and back. The sinister Tornado Corporation has sent a rogues gallery of truck-ramming goons to keep you from succeeding. Upgrade your truck with more than 70 insane performance-enhancing parts to smoke the competition. But don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers, because along the way you’ll have the chance to win the hearts of eight scandalous interstate beauties known as the Queens of Route 66. These friendly gals are among more than three-dozen characters you’ll encounter, each with their own story to tell.
Look: Weak. Characters are weak looking and not even in sync. Load times lag and everything just seems pretty mediocre. Not even the pixilated babes in bikinis can save this sucker.
Feel: This is arcade, but not at its best. The extras and unlockables help when everything else seems to get bored and tired. The races are often too short. The biggest problem is that game isn’t that smart.
Hear: Weak. Weak. Weak. Bad voice acting, and just average music. The sound effects are cheesy and painful to listen to.
Frankly: Rent it.
