Modojo: Knight Rider seems like the perfect fit for a video game. There's a high-tech and talking sports car and a whole bunch of gadgets. It's sort of like Spy Hunter, but much cooler, so when Hudson released an App based on the 1982 TV series, we quickly downloaded it expecting some 3-D Burnout style masterpiece with fast-paced driving and explosions. Instead, we received a top down, 2-D mess that shows signs of what could have been.
We all frown upon video games based on movies mercilessly (and with good reason), but titles adapted from TV shows are no better. Try to stomach the following images of television "stars" turned into 2D piles of blocky excrement.
I always wanted to play the Home Improvement game. I assume it was really good, yeah?
Though in order to play it I think my SNES would've needed...MORE POWER. HAW HAW HAW
This game is a bit odd, and quirky at times, but remains a fair top-down driving game, which has ample playability, and is sufficiently difficult, but not insanely hard for the new player. The whole game is very fun, but has some problems. What are they? Read on.
Game Vortex writes: "I'm surprised at how many of my childhood memories involve Knight Rider. There was a the KITT Big Wheel, the "plastic" leather jacket I just knew was the same one Michael Knight wore, and my dad insisting the family Toyota had a Turbo Boost option whenever we went up a bridge. So for me, it's a license that deserves a good videogame adaption. The franchise is no stranger to the medium, but nearly all have failed to adequately capture Michael and KITT's adventures. Add Knight Rider: The Game to the list."
