The N64 was always a mixed bag for me between the impressive graphic fidelity and its inconsistent performance, or the reverse, depending who had coding duties. It could be what you wanted, but not all at once. It's nice to hear that this title fulfilled the quota with just enough gumption to be worth the time.
Someone told me that you're worth it.

I believe them.

I've been thinking for quite some time that I need to play this one. I think I played the arcade version briefly, but I remember it was one of the early N64 games I was most eager to play. And then I never played that port. I did buy the digital version released for Wii U's Virtual Console, so I need to go back and play it before that hardware bricks itself.

Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world

I don't recall ever playing the game in the arcades, but I do distinctly remember seeing the Ultra 64 logo whenever I walked past the cabinet. You couldn't escape it with the console's launch looming over the horizon.

But yeah, Cruis'n USA, which I really hated typing out every time I wrote its name in the review, is an oddball of a game. It's not "bad" in the traditional sense of the word, and it's not really a solid game either. It does enough to entertain to overlook its blatant flaws, but not enough to make it truly entertaining after just a short few hours.

Thanks for reading!
