Some games out there, like Splinter Cell, and GTA 3, get old after you beat them, or you dont feel like playing it anymore in the middle of the game. But this is differnt, You can play this forever! Get it, its worth you money.
...My Favorite Game Of All Time...

I am serious when I say this is my favorite game of all time.... this game was and still is unbelievably awesome. I used to always play my 64, and I did it with my cousins, playing all the game modes in this game. Nothing about this game is bad... nothing. I think this game is better than any game, on any system, or in any genre. And I am a serious addict when it comes to gaming. I just can't get over this games brilliance, how easy it is, or how underrated it is.
If anyone is reading this, you better buy it. There is no possible way you will not enjoy this one.

yep ya guessed it!you get in a car and crash every other car to bits in various arenas.you can win more of them later.each with thier unique capabilities.some are fast,some are strong etc.the most well protected one is the ambulance for in destruction derby mode.if racing,take the hot rod.if you cant handle it,try the rocket.during the actual game,you race against time .but theres also a bunch of other cars racing also.you get points by damaging other vehicles and by making checkpoints.each time you make one,you get more time.however the time is less and less every time.eventualy all cars will be destroyed or you will not make your time.playing here is how you win other cars or in time trial.i just use codes.this game is great un the whole family can enjoy.
It's ok, but the reveiws here hype it up more then it is.

I bought this game souly on the fact that everyone here on amazon has praised it as being a fabulous game.
Well, it's allright. I burst out laughing during my first race when I crashed and burned into someone and I got 1st place for doing it! But, this game isnt that good. It's ok to drive the cuircuts or do the demolition derby in the arena, but I have gotten tired of it, so sorry to whoever said you wont get bored with this game, I did!
There isnt enough tracks, there isnt enough cars and it really needs more in the game. It needs a propper race, without the demolition, you can do a time trial, but I want a propper race with all the cars. There also needed to be an option to turn the check points off... I just wanna turn around and go the other way for something different, but once you run out of time it's game over. Also, it needed something else, like in Mario Kart where you get the shells to throw, or the bosters, or things to lay on the track... this game really needed something like that.
I think currently Nintendo has managed to bring out a game boy thats pretty much a compact SNES. So one day they will have a new game boy as powerfull as the n64. so if they release this game again, lets hope they add more to it.
Two player mode is ok. Most of what the reveiws here say are true, the bomb tag is the best, but it sucks that there is only about 4 tracks to compete in.
All there is, is Arcade. Where you race the first race of the tornament and thats it.
Tournament, or champoinchip mode or something where you race about 5 tracks and a couple of demolition derbys.
Time trials.
And then 2 player with normal, destruction, bombtag and flag .. there needed to be heaps, heaps more included.
I beleive if THQ had made another version, it would be the same as the difference between WCW REVENGE & WWF NO MERCY.. the extras just seperate the two completly.
This game is ok. Good for 2 player. Not to bad in the graphics and controls. But it just needs more in it.
Destruction to the max

I rented this game once, and every day I played it probably for at least an hour a day. Its the only Nintendo game I've heard of with visible damage. I have the latest Gameshark, so I just unlocked all the cars and tracks first thing--my favorite is the ambulance--it's slow but extremely durable. A tip--press the z button to look behind your car and go backwards--many times your back end is more durable so you'll take less damage while hitting other cars.
the best game

Me and my brother rented this game one weekend and after we played it the first time, we didn't think it was that great. But we didn't have anything else to do, so we both tried playing it one player and we found out it was actually a good game. Your main objective is to crash into the other cars and get enough points to get to the next level in one player mode. But while you're making other cars blow up, you also have to keep going in order to make it to the checkpoint before you run out of time. Also in some levels, you don't have to worry about making it to a checkpoint because it's true destruction derby; you only have to get enough points to come in 1st place to get to the next level. That's what makes Destruction Derby 64 different and better than most other car games. If you're in first place when your car blows up, it counts as 1st place for that level.
Destruction Derby 64 has good graphics, control, sound, it's fun once you get the hang of it, and most of all it has replay value. There are many hidden vehicles that you can get by coming in first place on certain tracks which makes the replay value skyrocket through the roof. Another good attribute that this game has that sets it apart from others is that it's almost as easy to drive backwards and know where you're going as it is to just race and crash frontwards. After you get most of the hidden vehicles, this game will never get old playing it multiplayer. Get out there and cause some destruction!
