Cruis'n USA (N64)

When this game first came out on the arcade I thought it was the best game ever, and for its time, it was. About 18 months later we had bigger and better technology in the arcades and Cruis'n had only just hit N64. It was starting to look shabby on the arcades, but with cut down graphics, sound and detail in the 64 version, it both looked, and played awful. The only factor that was the same was the american rock soundtrack which on the arcades was great to drive to, but with the cut down sample rates along with everything else, even that seemed to have no effect on the game anymore.

I know this is one of the first N64 releases, but give me a break, half the screen is full of graphics popping out of nowhere. These are the worst graphics on N64, and with how fast it feels like your're going you might as well be playing Super Nintendo.

This is the only review on this game for the simple reason that i was the only person who was stupid enough to get this game! The cars are square and unrealistic the game play is shockingly bad and the graphics really will make you laugh. All the scenery just pops up out of the blue! It is one of the easiest game that i have played and you will complete it in a few hours. Most magazines gave it below 60%- the only reason that i got it was becuase i found it cheap at a car boot sale! If you love driving games you would know not to get this. If you are considering it- Don't! ...  Read the complete review

Imagine fast paced racing, graphics so sharp you almost can cut yourself, an amazing polygon game engine with no pop-up, accurate collision detection, fantastic music with memorable melodies and bass-pounding sound effects! Imagine hours of racing fun with an addictive two player split-screen mode, realistic landscapes, awesome crashes and intelligent computer enemies. Now imagine a game that has none of the above. Welcome to Cruis'n USA. Cruis'n USA. was one of the first games announced for the Ultra 64. The idea is simple: Drive through the United States in one of four (plus three hidden) cars and manage to beat the other racers. Given ...  Read the complete review
