Fun, but not as good as I thought.

I rented the game and it was pretty fun but the game dosen't have enough tracks or weapons. I would suggest that you rent it insted of buying it, unless you like it enough to buy it.

I purchased about ten or so games for my Nintendo 64 player since I bought it and all of them are great fun, but this one is down right addictive. The game play has a level of logistics that is close enough to the real thing to keep this game appealing for hours on end. Lots of visual explosions and fantastic sound effects to match make this the epitome of great mindless entertainment. Highly recommended for those who are tired of traffic or simply can't stand those pesky school buses that turn in front of you and flash their red lights when you're late for work.

I picked this game up 'cause when I was playing Destruction Derby I thought it needed guns, so this game was recomended.

Overall, after the reveiws here have said it's so good, i guess i got my expectations up too high and was let down when I started playing.

First off tho, some reveiwers said the grpahics where no good. The graphics are great. What you need to do is have an expansion pack in the 64. And then during game play, press start to enter your paused menu, then turn the resolution to high, and it will change from the almost 2Dish graphics to propper 3D graphics. Or even more recomended by me, go to the password screen and enter Max_Resolution as the code. Press ok and then follow the same steps as before, but you'll get an option after High Res that says MAX and the graphics are suburp for a 64 game! I dont know why they would put that option in the start menu tho, it should be on the main screen options, so many people have probably missed it.

(note: I actualy had to turn the graphics up higher, for some reason when I played with the default graphics, it would freeze on a black screen at the end of the the first race, but it worked fine when they where turned up!)

So there is an area you drive through collecting diffrent icons with guns, rockets, bombs etc... however it is annoying that there are secret moves. For instance, you press up, up, down, Z with one kind of powerup thing and you do a secret heatseeker missile or something... I dunno why they made it like that 'cause
A) I dont have a booklet to read them
b) the booklet doesnt reveal the hidden moves or finshing esk moves
c) the arror pad means you have to stop steering with the stick to execute it
d) the codes moves like that are for fighting games Capcom and Acclaim make, not for a game where its unsesercery.

Like I said, I got too excited over it and it wasnt as good as I thought it would be, it's probaly better on 2 player, but half the time I dont know what i'm collecting, the thing should say what it is you pick up in writing to know which of the coded moves it is.

Check into various websites for codes, there is is lenty of codes for invincabilty and more tracks, cars, and even a space ship to fly (but it doesnt fly up or down, it guides itself, you just choose left or right which is a bummer, guess i'm too used to Rougue Squadrens controls) The game needs a diffrent style of course too, I dunno what, but open areas all the time gets pretty boring.

the games ok, but it's not as good as some hype it up to be. It's not better then any other car game, it's just diffrent. It needed some turbo or nitro boosts in it. There is an after burner but it's coded, but it needed it to be a one button press, not a 5 button combination coded move.

TONS OF DESTRUCTION 9.75 OUT OF 10

This is without a doubt one of my favorite games over the fact it has tons of destruction, crazy levels, crazy cars and characters, and odd weapons. Some attacks include disco ball attacks, bee attacks, rocket launching, gatling gun, laser beams, and more galore. Playing with a friend so you can play co-op or destroy each other is a memorable experience as well. The missions are basically to get yourself to the top and rule over everyone else and be the king of destruction. I can't say how much you should play this game because it's full of fun and destruction.
