I like any other child of the 80's was excited at the notion of a game based on my favorite TV show. The screen shots made it look pretty awesome. I finally got my chance to experience being "behind the wheelof KITT." I bought my copy of KR at Gamestop for $5, only after playing it did find out why. Other than having good graphics this game is junk. The physics are terrible, the voice acting sounds nothing like the characters, and the game is depressingly short.
I would have expected a more epic adventure from Knight Rider. Some of the levels are just stupid and the boss battles are even worse. Sure a highway shoot-em-up wouldn't have been true to the TV series but it would've at least been fun. In this game you have to solve puzzles, chase a car, and then you fight a boss, but instead of shooting lasers at him you just bump into him until one of you dies. I honestly got more enjoyment from the 8-bit NES and Turbo Grafix 16 KR games.
I thought buying the rights from Universal dented Davilex's budget, but actually they have a history of making mediocre games. Such obscure titles as "Beach King Stunt Racer" and "Londer Racer World Challenge." I'm disappointed, there was potential for a great game, Davilex should've spent more time on KR or let someone else make it.
The sequel: Knight Rider 2, I hear, isn't much better. I'll probably buy it anyway so the box can look pretty on my shelf.
