Overall, this game can be entertaining, but it can get boring very easily at times.
The graphics is this game is pretty smooth and has basic environments. Mostly everything turned out to be bright and colorful. Most of the N64 games usually had blocky and somewhat pixilated graphics. Although some environments were very bland (like the buildings), other areas were detailed like the cars and sky. There were not frame rate issues or any known glitches either like there was in Cruis'n Wii. Overall, they were passable for the N64 days at least.
The controls were basically tight and responsive, but they also have a tendency to spin out and flip on you. For example, if you're driving fast and hit a car, your vehicle could easily spin out, and you could also lose your winning position. You can also zoom in your camera, and change the music. There is also a two player mode for grand prix and regular racing modes. You can also change the difficulty levels. Overall, the controls were pretty good, but the physics were a little bit off.
There aren't that many tracks to listen to, but the music in this game is pretty decent. There's some surfer styled theme songs and racing themed music as well.
Overall, this game can be entertaining, but it can get boring very easily at times. Despite its shortcomings this game is still passable enough to recommend purchasing or renting it for the N64 or the Wii.
