  • Summary: In Blood Drive, contestants must use their motorized death steeds of steel in a televised game show where drivers battle each other and hordes of revolting flesh eaters in an all-out fight to the death. Face undead frat boys, cops, strippers and bachelorette partiers, each with their own special brand of death and devastation - and ways to die! While these rotting monsters wander the streets of a desert sin city craving sweet, succulent brains, your enemies have come equipped battle hardened armed vehicles, including heavily weaponized muscle cars, hot rods, and more. Amidst this gore-drenched mayhem contestants must use their head or lose it! Expand

  1. There is, perhaps, no better group to mark for wholesale slaughter than zombies. [Jan 2010, p.84]

    Anyone looking for a quick car combat fix before next year's Twisted Metal might be able to waste a few hours on this title, but they won't be wholly enjoyable hours. Since you can't save in the middle of a tournament, and some the later cups last a couple hours, the game eventually tests your endurance. I'd rather give bone marrow than sit through this Blood Drive again.

    Just be patient and wait for Twisted Metal.

    Some games, like Blood Drive, "don't take themselves so seriously". They should. This is a mess.

  1. Twisted Metal style game? Check. Zombies? Check. Violence and blood? Check and check. If these are things you enjoy then pick this game up. If you enjoying having fun then pick this game up. The only problem with this game is that it is published by the evil empire Activision but Sidhe did an amazing job. For some reason I get a much more Vigilante 8 feeling from Blood Drive rather than Twisted Metal, but for people who didn't play those games religiously you probably won't notice a difference...or there is the possibility that I am crazy. The bottom line for this game is I am happy I picked it up day 1 and after spending some time spilling zombie blood I can easily give this game a glowing review. Thank you Sidhe! Activision go to hell. Expand
  2. not a bad game, for quick and easy violence. kind of neat integration of zombie fun. it's car combat, and may whet your appetite for the new Twisted Metal next year. but there are some flaws.

    my PS3 does not recognize the trophies for the game, and therefore do not add them to my GamerLevel or post them to Facebook. The physics of the cars are a bit dodgy at times. some weapons appear to be useless and its hard to line up a shot without a cross-hair.

    having said that, writing this now, i feel a distinct pull to fire up the PS3 and let loose with more blood drive violence. wait if you can for a price drop, but $50 isn't too bad i guess
