racing and flying

This is a very cool game to add to anyones N64 collection. The graphics are very smooth, even without the high resolution mode.
You can do a variety of stunts, every racer has their own speciality.
The sound and music are excellent. The music is cool, and does not get annoying.
The physics may not seem all that realistic. The riders do sort of glide through the air, but thats not a bad thing, it gives you more time to pull off a satisfying stunt.
My favoutite special track is the stunt course, the more stunts you do, the more points you get.
The football game is quite strange, but good fun.
Unlocking the original Excitebike is great. You'll find yourself playing the original quite a lot, its aged well over time.Having to finish in certain positions on the score table, at the end of each tournament is great, it means you want to get better and better to complete the next stage.
I recommend watching the replay of a race you've just done. The camera angles used in the play back are really good, and the music is again excellent.

Overall its a fantastic game.

The graphics are AWESOME and control is good, you just have to get used to it (and that doesn't take long.) In this game (unlike some others) you have to use your brake to win. Yes, the jumping and hitting things isn't very realistic, but it's more arcade than real. The turbo is realistic because when you rev your bike to top speed in real life it of course WILL overheat after a time. There is a limited amount of riders, even though I heard somewhere that there is a hidden rider, but I haven't gotten him yet. This game is not one of those dinky little racing games that are easy to beat, it's challenging, and there are lots of activities to do in the game like hill climb, stunt arena, the original excitebike, desert racing, excite 3D, and my favorite... soccer. And finally it has a secret cheat menu. If you start to have trouble here's a little cheat... at the main menu hold right c, down c, and the "L" button at the same time and then press the "A" button to access the cheat menu, then enter "mower" find out yourself what exactly it does, but it's very helpful. There are other cheats if you want to look them up. I recomend this game STRONGLY!!!

This game may have some flaws but who cares? It's fun and thats why they made it. I don't exspect perfect from Nintendo.
