Daisy Dukes It Out
The Dukes of Hazzard look set to make a return (to the Playstation at least) with a second racing game based on the cult TV show
The first game ("Dukes of Hazzard : Racing For Home") might have gone down like a lead balloon with critics, but apparently it still sold by the bucket-load for some odd reason. Not about to look a gift-horse in the mouth, Southpeak Interactive have announced that they are now working on a sequel, due out on Playstation as early as this November. "Dukes Of Hazzard : Daisy Dukes It Out" will see you racing against a "mysterious newcomer" to Hazzard County, a man with the unlikely name of Black Jack Perril who is trying to set up Daisy Duke to take the fall for a series of bank robberies. No, really. You couldn't make this stuff up.
"The Dukes of Hazzard are ingrained in American culture, and the success of The Dukes of Hazzard - Racing for Home made it clear that gamers are ready to take the wheel of the General Lee", according to the unfortunately named Armistead Sapp, president of SouthPeak Interactive. So sadly that probably means another mind numbingly repetitive and ultimately dull game featuring American muscle cars sliding around on dirt tracks while the annoying Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane tries to ram you off the road for no obvious reason. Some people just don't learn...
