Alright, here is my review and if you don`t like it don`t read it! Anyway, BAR really sucks. I will tell you once and once only, DONT BUY THIS GAME! The tracks are cool, but way too long. It took me like 15-20 minutes to finsh one race. It also takes up too much room on a memory card. And who would want to drive the same car all the time? THE BEETLE? This car suck too, and can ONLY go 90 mph. SF Rush and Rush 2 kill this game in just about every type of comparison I can think of. I would know because I own all three games (Well, just 2 now because I traded BAR for Pilotwings 64, which is an awsome game.) Let me say one thing before I leave this BAR review with a 1 STAR RATING. Do youself a favor and don`t buy this game and be looking for someone to give it away to after your playing it for 5 minutes.(I got lucky when I traded it for Pilotwings.) This is EA`s worst game ever. Period.

This is the worst game I have ever played. it is so boring. My son got it on his ninth birthday party and his friends hate it too. Please I would like a refund for this game. I can't even believ that you would actually sell a game like that. I am just ready to scream, that game ruined my sons birthday party, now he has no friends. I can't believe you. Whoever sold my that game should be fired.
Good, not "Amazing"

This is a really fun game! Except it only has 6 different race tracks. Although each race track is absolutely huge and heaps of fun, it is disappointing that their is only 6. Other racing games have more tracks (Mario Kart, Top Gear) but all of Beetle Adverture Racing's tracks are massive and have many massive shortcuts which will take time to find. The multiplayer section is heaps of fun, I found definately in the top 10 multi-player games on N64! I recommend you hire this game before you buy it. Some will love it, others will hate it!
Great fun!

This game is a blast. If you race someone who is at the same level as you, then you really have a challenge. You can race alone with the machine and it is alot of fun.It has great graphics and the scenery is beautiful. It has short cuts and different weather conditions and tracks. Place 3rd or better and move to the next track, eventually you will get to do space trucking and earn cars as you win races. Our family really enjoys it. We range from 8 years old to 49! This game is ageless.
ok

This game is fun but it gets old after a while. The tracks are very cool, but you are only given two to start with. Then you have to play those tracks over and over to get any more. If you are good at racing you will like this. I am not so this was difficult. The beetle battle modes are fun too. If you are not a good race driver you may find this a little difficult. The cars are really neat though. If you want to have fun playing tracks over and over, you should get a memory card.
one of the best 64 games made

I recently picked this game up used, and I am glad I did. Despite the fact that the Nintendo 64 seems like an antique system, this is one of those well-done games that stands the test of time.
Basically the only 2 games I have been playing are the PS2 titles Hawk 4 and Vice City. But since I picked up Beetle Racing, that one has racked up quite a bit of playing time as well. For Beetle to be compared with those 2 games must tell you something.
Despite the gimmicky-appeal of the new Beetle being the centerpiece for a video game, make no mistake, Beetle Racing succeeds in every way possible. The graphics, play control, fun factor, sound, and replay value all measure up, even against the newer products on the market.
You may have a difficult time finding this game since the 64 is an obsolete system, but if you do, pick it up.
One would never think

It was really astonishing that a bettle could move the way it does on this game. It is action packed with new features all the time. You can design your car as you go along in the game, and one would never think a bettle could move so fast. I have enjoyed playing the game and recommend anyone who enjoys racing to try this one
An excellent racing game

I enjoy this game more than "Mario Kart 64". The courses are beautiful with plenty of hidden surprises. Its an easy game to learn right out of the box. My only problem with the game is that you must earn access to four or the six race courses and six of the nine battle arenas.
Great Game (check out my page:www.expage.com/alsapt)

I think that Beetle Adventure Racing is an awsome game. A couple of friends and I have this game and we love it! You have single player races (basically to see your best time), chapionship races, & Beetle Battles (This game is so fun, and it has so many scenarios!). I don't know if this helps you a whole lot, but this game is really fun. Check it out. Sorry for the spelling.
Bye!
4 1/2 stars ADVENTURE RACING IS NEAR PERFECT!

THERE ARE SIX LONG TRACKS TO RACE ON. I'VE ONLY SEEN FOUR.. COVENTRY COVE, MOUNT MAYHEM, INFERNO ISLE & SUNSET SANDS. THE TRACKS I HAVE YET TO PLAY ARE.. METRO MADNESS & WICKED WOODS. MY FRIENDS AND I LOVE THIS RACING GAME. IT IS WELL MADE, NICE LOOKING & EASY TO CONTROL. YOU MUST BEAT THE INDIVIDUAL TRACKS ON CHAMPIONSHIP MODE FOR THEM TO APPEAR ON SINGLE RACE & TWO PLAYER MODES. I LOVE THE BOOST BOXES, THE SHORT CUTS, THE CAMERA OPTIONS & BEETLE BATTLE MODE. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A QUAILITY RACING GAME AT A NOW AFFORDABLE PRICE.. "BEETLE ADVENTURE RACING" FOR YOUR N64 IS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE.
