YMMV / Thrill Drive

• Nightmare Fuel: The shriek that occurs after an accident, and the overall dreadful atmosphere of the first game.
  • The nightmarish images that pop up in the first game after crashing doesn't help either.
  • Also, the Attract Mode of the original game.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Crazy Streets: Thrill Drive (marketed as Thrill Drive 4 in Japan), as obscure as it is, received generally negative reception due to being an Oddball in the Series with Denser and Wackier gameplay, featuring Mario Kart-esque power-ups and power-downs. The horror aspect of causing serious accidents from the previous three installments is notably absent as a result.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: After releasing multiple sequels, Konami decided to abandon the series because it wasn't known outside Japan, and because of its Nightmare Fuel syndrome described above.
