The reviews for the recently released The Dukes of Hazzard: The Return of the General Lee have been slowly trickling in, and the verdict hasn't been so positive for the Adelaide game developers, Rat Bag...
" No matter how you cut it, The Dukes of Hazzard: The Return of the General Lee would be hard to recommend for anyone but the most hardcore of fans who desperately want to see a vague imitation of the show on their console. All of the characters are here as well as a goofy storyline, but do yourself a favor and just get the TV shows on DVD."

"Return of the General Lee has mediocre visuals and a problematic navigation system with a nearly useless map. It's hard to get used to the sloppy driving physics, the game lacks originality and the artificial intelligence of your computerized opponents is outdated by about 10 years.Beyond all its problems, however, The Return of the General Lee looks, feels and sounds like an episode of "The Dukes of Hazzard," with a commitment to minutiae from the TV show that borders on scary."
"In their obvious haste to put out a tie-in product for a current retro-trend (in this case it neatly coincides with the release of the DVD box sets of the original TV series), game companies churn out the same tired old stuff and hope that the public won?t notice. Well, we do.On the positive side, friends of mine who watched the TV show tell me that the show was just as laughable, so perhaps it is merely a very faithful adaptation."
