Dukes of Hazzard: Racing For Home, Sony Playstation

It's the 80's! Ah yes, The Dukes Of Hazzard on television was as much a part of a twenty-something's escape from the grim realities of unfeasibly skimpy football shorts, Madonna in 'Desperately Seeking Susan' and the likes of Living In A Box clogging up the hit parade. The boy racers among us could dream of swapping the XR3i for a real piece of American muscle, the Duke boys' customised Dodge, The General Lee. If you're old enough to remember, and blessed (or cursed) with a good memory, you will recall that there was never much of a plot. Whichever episode you happened to tune into, it always seemed to consist of brothers Bo and Luke attempting to evade the attentions of Boss Hog and his inept sheriff and deputy, Rosco P Coltrane and his brother Enis. The Duke boys invariably ended up spending a few hours in the slammer, before being sprung by either Uncle Jesse or the scantily-clad Daisy Duke. The good news is that The Dukes Of Hazzard-Racing For Home, like the TV show, will not tax your brain too much. It's a straight-down-the-line race and chase experience, with the merest of nods to the likes of Driver and Demolition Racer. There are 27 missions to complete, and as long as you can drive cleverly enough, and listen to Bo and Luke's instructions, you'll be able to outrun the marauding vehicles that are always on your tail. Just like on the telly! The Dukes Of Hazzard-Racing For Home certainly brings back a few memories, and kind of gives me a hankering for some more. Infact, let's all lobby the BBC for a repeat run of the original series. Go on, put your foot down!
