- Classic Game Room reviews BLOOD DRIVE for Playstation 3 PS3 video game console (also available for Xbox 360), a post-apocalyptic zombie-slaughtering automobile combat game. Drive cars straight outta Mad Max and Road Warrior in gladiator style duels against other rides and waves of zombies! Various arena style events like Zombie Roadkill, checkpoint races and "keep the skull" (or whatever it's called) keep gameplay tight and ferocious albeit repetitive after a while. Controls take a bit of time to get used to but work well once mastered and the battlegrounds themselves are moderately interesting and chock full o' zombies. This CGR review of Blood Drive has gameplay from Blood Drive in the review showing videogame game play of Blood Drive from Activision on PS3, also available for Xbox 360.
I always wondered what happened to this genre... Twisted Metal, Vigilante 8, and Rogue Trip were some of my favorite games from the late 90s.
I think mainstream interest in Car Combat games died off in the early to mid 2000s. Sure, Twisted Metal still stuck around, and a few car combat games showed up every couple of years, but they just weren't being thrown onto store shelves like in the 90s. Even at the time of your comment the only car combat games around was Twisted Metal for the PS3, Blood Drive, Rage, and Blur, though Rage is more like a first person shooter with car combat features and Blur is basically Mario Kart with licensed cars.
@Drag2hand Yeah, but he's referring to a game - Vigilante 8. It's often just referred to as "V8" so saying Vigilante V8 is redundant.
Been collecting PS3 games again and man I miss this channel…
I love your reviews! You can beat gamespot, ign etc. Your reviews are funny and you get straight to the point : if the game is fun or not. You are one of the few TRUE reviewers out there. You rock keep it up! :)
Barely known, forgotten, tons of fun
cool game,rpg,fighting games and vehicle combat are my favorite videogame genres.
This looks awesome. I used to play Carmageddon and Twisted metal on PS1 and if the weapons have a good feel, this must be a good game.
How could you forget to mention the Carmageddon influence this game has?
This game is an updated version of a Playstation 2 game called Zombie Virus (in Europe). Also known as Zombie vs Ambulance in Japan. They took out the Survivors mode and made it into a Running Man/Death Race TV Gameshow type game. Zombie Virus though also works kind of like Dyter-7 for the Amiga/Atari ST. The People you save will make new stuff for your car.
Nice review. The guy at the beginning making the sound effects like an ambulance vehicle sounded funny. This game also kind of reminds me of RoadKill on the GameCube with a little bit of Cel Damage.
The "Vigilante V8" phrase consistently bothers. That's like saying Vigilante Vigilante 8. Oh well, the Blood Drive game looks decent, may give it a try.
Carmageddon mixed with Dead Rising, must be fun!
CGR reviews are the best. Since they do New,Old and don't concentrate on Multiplayer!
Interesting. Will have to give this a try.
Game looks awesome, its like carmagedon, dead rising and destruction derby I NEED THIS GAME
anything that looks like twisted metal is good in my books
Id does look a lot like the censored versions of Carmageddon. Looks awesome indeed.
Lol commercial for the weather channel before the video, who spends there life/time watching the weather channel! I only watch it for the local forecast!!
I miss Twisted metal. TM Black was sweet. I lost a ton of years playing Twisted metal 2 so these games will always catch my interest. With that being said..0:57 weee wooo weee wooo
i got this game yesterday its good to kill time, trophies dont seem to to hard to get. the issue with this game is your car flying in the air over every little thing. alot of these matches are timed and u hit a bump and go flying in the air and you hover there forever then u bounce around and explode it becomes a huge problem! then someone hits you and u go flying in the air again! thats my main issue with this game. and the turn radius sucks. limited guns u often cant kill ne1 cuz u have no gun
Looks nice. The announcer style is really like in Unreal Tournament.
Ahhhh, Carmeggedon. Win the race, take every other car out before the finish or kill every single last person on the map. And to the soundtrack of fear factory, I think it was demanufacture, i was in heaven. I put so many hours into that game.
@RyunSharp Hell yeah!! Carma remains my fav game, realtime damage and awesome physics!! It was the best for its days,.. underrated though..I miss those days.. good memories...
thumbs up for car at 2:43 lookin' awsome!
Nice review man, keep up the good work.
Wished you mentioned that it was developed in New Zealand.
They need to make another Interstate 76 style game...
Carmegeddon was fun (& Twisted Metal was too) but I76 would be kick-ass nowadays...
Nothing will ever replace Carmageddon 1 in my heart.
This actually looks pretty fun - I used to play a LOT of Vigilante 8 back in the day
you haven't mencioned Carmageddon once! Good review though.
@therealKINDLE
True. Carmageddon 2 was the best. If they did a remake of carma 2 I would pay full price for it. The physics were so impressive for it's time! The handling was semi-realistic, it was a pretty tough game to master, but well worth it.
Seriously, in the first game physics were applied to each wheel individually, so if something pushed your wheels to the car, they hardly, or didn't turn. Which game does that nowadays?
I miss my chillhood when i play this Video
I thought I was alone with Carmaggedon.
The number of replies quoting it (and obviously Twisted Metal) made me happy hahaha.
I might have to give this a try. I love Twisted Metal, but at the rate those games are coming out, part 3 will take another couple of years.
@ignaciojork wouldn't be easier to install a virtual machine with win98 on the new computer? :) you can configure it however you want.
I like how people are bitching about this game not being original, but when was the last time a good vehicular combat game came out? Twisted Metal Black came out in 2002? Head-On for ps2 came out in 2006? So two games in a decade. I think it's okay to have a few more games like that.
@RyunSharp: Some of the powerups in Carmageddon 2000 were so disgusting I couldn't play the game after a while. Block heads? Stick people? Uggggghhhhhhhhh...
I've had my eye on this game for awhile now. the only good thing is that its probably going to be like 20$ before christmas so i can just buy me and my friends a copy of it :3
im not sure if i want to take a risk and buy this game
Would be awesome if you would review Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, 3 or CTR
Those are damn awesome and fun to play.
WHOA THAT LOOKS SO COOL!
@xBXRxAaron TH-cam seriously needs to get their act together and fix all these subscription issues.
This guy should do those little tv trailers of what is going to happen in the next episode of a show.
You know...
"In the next episode of CSI the team got their hands full when a bunch of african tribe warriors impale their boss with spears, find out exactly what happens on Friday at eleven!"
is this disc based or downloadable? also is it only multiplayer or is there single player?
If you have Dead rising 2 and u enjoy the Terror Is Reality minigame thinggo u may like this. HOWEVER, if you got bored of that feature quick then I would say to give this a miss. But it still looks fun and I will play it on Xbox 360.
They should have Blood Ocean by Dethklok playing in the background.
I also see a Interstate 82 influence :)
The reviewer missed out Carmageddon. The best gore racer of all time !
The host in this game sounds like Chase McCain from Lego City Undercover. 2:53
this game looks cute XP
@ignaciojork they had to call them zombies in carma 2... back in carma 1 they were called 'pedestrians' :)) and didn't had green blood or shit like that. man, the society took the fun out of games
who's that guy who killed you in the beggie by the way?
when comparing two games, make sure to look at the date of release...
you forgot to mention carmageddon
@xBXRxAaron Yup. I have to go to my subscriptions page to view them. TH-cam must be working on something
TWISTED METAL NOSTALGIA
i really would like to know where all the tokens are... i miss one in "helter smellter", one in "strip" and three in "gauntlet"... i am quite pissed of cuz i would like to see the concept art gallery but i am not able to find them all god damn it! anyone help?
From the title I thought this was actually a game about a BLOOD DRIVE and you donate blood. xD
But does it have Local Multiuplayer, and when will developers remember that the purpose of getting a home console is to play WITH your brother or sister or girlfriend or whoever?
@MrBullseyeProduction Thanks, good to know it's not just my ineptitude.
@SLRMC93 Yeah, you're right, but Carmageddon was definetly inspired by TM in my opinion. Never really played Carmageddon, but TM: World Tour is one of my favorite games of all time. Blood Drive, though, I'm not liking as much as I'd hoped. Anxiously awaiting the New Twisted Metal, though :)
So I remember I saw something like this about two decades ago. Have we REALLY stooped so low as to take games from the DOS ages and claim them as new?
was on sale for 4.89 at gamestop yesterday... still didnt get it... waitin for twisted metal
That game needs a remake!!!
this is for xbox ? awesome i though only ps3 still gets some retro gameplay style games :)
There is a PC game, similar to this one, but I don't remember the name of that game. :/
@SonicXSTH do you mean Zombie Driver?
Howard Dean at 1:07?
reminds me of this ps2 game called cell drive overload, or something like that.
@peterlust26 how? Carmageddon is racing, TM is just shoot shit up, Carmageddon is about killing peds with just your car, while trying to reach the finish line, TM is about killing your opponents with guns, trust me I LOVE Twisted metal, and Carmageddon pretty much equally, but I fail to see how Carmageddon ripped off TM, but blood drive.........it's a pretty good mix of both, I've played it, it's fun, and I think it's a little underrated, but in the end its still a clone of two great games.
is the same as vigilante 8
was a great game and this is your back but I love to play I love how it look
We need a NEW Carmageddon. :D Pedestrians instead of zombies please.
Cool! I gonna get one now
what happen to vigelante 8?
@xBXRxAaron Yeah I missed like 2 days of my subscriptions and I didn't realize it until I actual went to the subscription menu!!!
I remember this being similar to another game with cars and zombies which you could upgrade and put spikes on and that kind of stuff, could anyone tell me what it was?
It's not carmaggeddon :\ and it's not that arcade game either
@rousseau1films i agree 100% except the frame rates, that's necessary
Any one else subscriptions keep disappearing when you go to the homepage?
Not Lord Karnage's car. 'nuff said.
this is the 3rd (or more) game with zombies this fall :D
More classic game reviews!
I can do almost everything that this game does in GTA4. WITH, the cops chasing me. Runnin down folks in Liberty $hitty is Ohhh so satisfying.
listining to the comentator in the game was bugging me who it sounded like then it hit me intel from crackdown does anyone know if im write? because i think it sounds like him
@SonicXSTH do you mean Clutch ?
Wat a weird vehicular combat game mixed with zombies
Can't wait for the new Twisted Metal.
TM2 ftw!!
black was rly fun too
@refard5 its a new youtube bug , a few vlogger talked about it
@rousseau1films i agree save for originality...originaly breeds new ideas. of course nothing can be original all the time though....but fun for me at least isnt just in the graphics and frame rate
@MagFlare true, true
Looks like Carmageddon to me, well looks like an updated version of it.
@Skyk0rn its also for xbox 360 he said it
Ah well it was worth 10 dollars that I spent on it! It's amazing what you can find in the bargain bin?
I got it for 89 cents at GameStop
This games Looks like a Sequel to the game clutch
this is the game version of death race with zombies
@SLRMC93 soo what?...finally a good remake of the ultimate gam the armageddon :D
0:47 lol zombie wants to enter car :D
@555reaper I like blood drive, and to be frankly honest I think its underrated, it was presented flawlessly, but I like TM, and Carmageddon much, much better
@BMX2TC I agree with you. The checkpoints are a real bitch.
