If you enjoyed chocobo racing in Final Fantasy VII, or if you like cuteness, this racing game is for you! The characters are all very adorable (and may be familiar to fans of the Final Fantasy series), but the game is also a lot of fun for groups.

- The graphics are about average in the racing, to above average in the movies.
- The controls are responsive and adequate.
- The game is well-balanced, with easy modes for less experienced players, and hard modes. The story mode is a little cheesy, but fun nonetheless.
- The music and sounds blend in with the game well.
- You can get this game very cheap, compared to other racing games.
- It is a lot of fun to race against other players (unfortunately, more than 2 human players are not supported), but the AI of the game is also challenging.

Simply Fun

The characters are cute and it is fun playing for all ages. It can be quite addictive. There are short cuts to beat the other players but you will have to discover them yourself.

Mostly 2 Player

Well,I Really liked this game 'till it got kinda easy in the story mode and all the other modes against the computer.But...if you have another person to play with that's a different story.Get 2 people for the time of your life!

Fun for awhile, but CTR: Crash Team Racing runs over it

I really don't know how to put this into words. Well... back in August(1999), Chocobo Racing was the kart-racing style game for the Playstation. But I just realized, that, ummm... CTR: Crash Team Racing just completly kills it. Chocobo racing just doesn't have the better visuals, neither the fun or excitement. Even the tracks, which there is only 10, get kinda boring. But I'll indeed say that the "Magic Stone" idea is an awesome attribute. Also, the music stays with Final Fantasy series. ALSO, you get to control FF characters! Hmmm... should you buy it? Only if you have money for two games(which your first buy should be CTR), then give it a shot.

Chocobo Racing is a pretty good racing game it is about the same type of game as Mario Kart or Diddy Kong Racing. It's very fun with the story mode and all but with all the magic spells and special powers it takes away from the racing element of the game and turns it into a battle.

My 10 & 9 year old daughters just love it. They have played CTR & seem to love this one just as much. Same idea but different characters & powers. Great second choice for those who like CTR but can't afford it right away!

Better than Crash Bandicoot Racing anyday of the week!~

Awesome game with incredible graphics and movies. Crash Team Racing doesn't even compare. Crash's graphics are too cartoony and childish. Chocobo Racing is for those ready to move on to the next step. More challeging that Crash too. Keeps you wanting to play more, and on the edge of your seat. Has a story line, characters, and secrets. A must buy for fans of the Final Fantasy series. Game complete with soundtracks from the series. Again a must have!~

I have played this game for 4 or 5 months now and even though I have never played a Final Fantasy game, this game is excellent!! It has very good music and the characters are even excellent! The tracks are challenging and is far better than CTR Racing. 1 of the hidden characters is even faster than even your edited racers even you get the 100 points in Story Mode. All in all, this is a very good game to try out, or buy if you can find it.

Unimaginative, and not even good in comparison to other "kart" games.

The game is highly focused on picking up magic crystals on the track and using them against opponents -- for example, getting three "fire" crystals hits *all* opponents with an unavoidable fire attack.

And, frankly, what fun is that? You race well enough to take the lead, only to get hit with a cheap shot? There's certainly no place for such anti-rewards in a game aimed at anyone over the age of five, and those younger won't be able to handle the twisty tracks anyways.

Breeding and raising Chocobos in "Final Fantasy VII" was fun. Racing them around in mario-karts most certainly is not.
