I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one saying that this game is better than MK64...
I received this game for 3 years ago and I played it again, again and again being my favorite part the Coin Challenge. Rare is the Rolls Royce of the video game industry and this product demonstrates all their talent. For young kids and grown ups too Diddy Kong Racing is some of the best software money can buy. Simply a classic!

Great Game!! A Must Buy!!!

This game is very challenging. Some of the bosses can be a pain, but once you beat them, you feel very good. The silver coin challenge is also tough. my family thinks the computers cheat, because they don't have to get the coins. A lot of the coins are in hard to reach places and require sharp turns. The confusing thing is after you beat Adventure 2, It still says "to be continued..." is Nintendo planning on making a sequel? I hope so.

Great Game

This is a great game! Its not very fun by yourself but it's super fun with all your friends. It's graphics are good and the sound is good although it repeats and some of the characters voices get annoying (this is why i gave it a 4) Overall this game is fun for the whole family and will provide hours of fun. Buy it now! This is a good game to have in your collection and is way funner than Mario Kart 64.

Diddy Kong Racing Rules!

When I first got this game I was aroung 5 or 6. So, I didn't really understand it to well. But now I LOVE it! The best part is you don't become addicted or bored, you play it but not constantly. Most of the time I can't play it. Why you ask?
Because my friend is ALWAYS borowwing it!

Lots of fun!

If you have young kids you can't go wrong to buy this game. We've had it almost a year and my kids still play it several times a week. Colorful racing theme, lots of characters to choose from, lots of racing venues, upbeat music. Five stars!

Fun!

This game is fun but it can be hard to beat at times. But the huge pig you have to race is like nothing I've ever seen! He's huge and you get a tingly feeling in the pit of your tummy when you race him. I absolutley LOVE him! Please rent this game if you can.
Thanks

Although many people find N64 games outdated, cumbersome, and dare I say it, not fun anymore. Diddy Kong Racing does not fit in any of these categories. The game resembles Mario Kart where you are given a variety of racers and tracks to choose from. And unlike Mario Kart, you can race in a car, plane or even a hovercraft!

But not only that, a wonderful "Adventure" mode is included. Your job is to defeat the infamous Wizpig who has taken over Timber's Island. How do you accomplish such a feat? Beat all the tracks and then beat Wizpig (you have to face him more than once). You go through the different "worlds" on the island. After you beat all the tracks in a world, you face the boss. Once you beat the boss, you must beat all the races again, but grabbing all the silver coins in a level and win the race! The silver coins are put in odd places that force you to go out of your way to retrieve them. Then you face the boss again and must beat him again (but he's harder this time).

The graphics and gameplay are quite good. The graphics are like any other N64 game. The gameplay has a few flaws though, especially the handling on the controller. If you're used to playing games on newer systems, the handling seems quite cumbersome. It will take a while to get used to turning in this game. When using the plane and hovercraft, driving can be very frustrating. Don't look at this as a downside of the game, when you're playing, it feels like more of a challenge. Making this game even better, there is a code "Jointventure" that allows you to do the adventure mode with 2 people!

Overall, this game is one of the best I've ever played. It may lack in smoothness, but makes up for it with awesome amounts of fun! If you're the type of player who wants the latest systems and games with amazing graphics and whatnot, do not waste your time with this one. But if you see yourself as a person who enjoys playing any fun video game regardless of its caliber, this is the right one for you!
