Cruisin' USA Review

By Denny W. Koopa

 
Game System: Nintendo 64
Rated: E for Everyone.
Publisher: Nintendo

So one day my mom went to Gamestop and told me to pick out three games. I chose Paper Mario and Cruisin' Exotica (a future Review). I had one left. Mario Party 2, no! A rip-off price, $40. So I decided to complete buying the Cruisin' series. I got Cruisin' USA. The problem is, I didn't rent it first, so I didn't know what it was like. Here's what you should do before buying a game:

1.////Rent It. My friend Bought Donkey Kong Country for Nintendo 64 but didn't have the Game Boy version.
2.////Check controls. When I first played this game, to accelerate, I had to Hold on to Z and at the end of a 2.////race, my fingers were hurt. I had to change the controls. I thought Lemmy played it, sent it to Gamestop 2.////and when someone played it, their fingers would hurt. A practical joke.
 
Now to my Review. It will be rated on a 1-5 stars (5 best, 0 worst) since there are five tunes on the radio.

Graphics: ***

An average score. Some objects look real, the others look like paper, like what Crazy Packers Fan said about California Speed and Cruisin' World. However, they do a nice design on the houses in Los Angeles.

Sound: **** 1/2

Pretty good, the points are up for the music. I like House Special and Deadwood Drive the most. One is a workout song, the other is a Western song. Elvis and a Surf song are in it too. But the way they put them in places cost half a point, I mean, Western music doesn't mix with Chicago or Indiana. The sound was good except when a girl says "Watch out", which messes me up.

Controls: *****

It's pretty simple when you set them yourself.

Difficulty: **** 3/4

Well... with a lot of traffic, and a blue or purple car always at your tail, things get hard. Play music that calms you down. If this doesn't work, spin the tail car out and you'll never see him again. Some tracks are narrow, which makes the game even harder..

Tracks: **

Oh come on! Put a desert in the Redwood Forest why don't ya! Make Beverly Hills just a town with an anthill that says "Hollywood" on it. Put in a place called Akabia. What's wrong with you people? Can you make a place that makes sense?! Washington D.C. has a tunnel full of money in this game. WOW! That's realistic.

Multiplayer: *

This multiplayer mode must be harder here than in any game. Nintendo must think that since there are two human players, they need to make the computers harder. If you have a normal reaction time, you'll crash like crazy on the split screen. Well, at least that happens to me and my friends. I gave this a point because it's easier to steer while you're holding A and not Z.

Replayability: none

Well, since you might have not played this, here's a little shout out. Why would anyone want to play this game some more?!

Fun Factor!: none

Mostly, this got a bad score from the computers cheating. Than, the multiplayer. And Beverly Hills track has a fire hydrant you can crash into every three seconds. WHAT FUN!!! Playing a game of tag with a Bowser Statue is more fun than this.

Overall: none

Oh yeah, like this game would make the best present. In fact, I call it a torture toy. If you want a game that will test how high your frustration can go then pick this game! Do not make the same mistake I did, rent or try a game before buying it.
