To summarize this game: The Good: Superior graphics, fair playing field, good steering sensitivity The Bad: Crappy frame rate(the scenery & cars jerk & hesitate as they move), no button press sensitivity (if you play Gamecube or PS2 games), no help to tune your machine (the game relies on it, too) Consider buying: if you want a very challenging racing game, you don't mind the bad frame rates, and you have a little patience to experiment tuning the machine Avoid: if you can't stand games w/ bad frame rates, if you need driver assists (brake and throttle assists, etc.), you have no sense of mechanical tuning & have no desire to develop one, and, like me, you are just too used to newer controllers button press sensitivity to go back. My feelings on this game: There are good things about this game, but when I compare it to the bad parts of this game, its average. The game has excellent graphics (especially the cockpit view) for an N64 game that doesn't utilize the expansion pak. The physics engine would have been excellent as well, but the crappy frame rate makes it feel funny. If you play Gamecube or PS2 racing games, you are probably used to button sensitivity; N64 games don't have it, so don't expect it from this game. I like the fact that regardless of which driver/team you choose, your playing abilities (not the driver status) will decide your finishing position in a race. You can tune your machine, but the only thing you really have to worry about is the amount of fuel you put in your tank before a race. That and the steering lock setting is really the only two settings that you will notice any changes you made. If you like challenging circuit racing games and/or F1, and don't mind the lack of button pressure sensitivity, you might want to consider this game. If you can't stand bad frame rates and/or technically challenging racing games, don't go for this one.Read full review
I am not an F-1 fan, but I really enjoy this game. The graphics especially for 64 are pretty well done. The controls are very easy to use and the steering is very realistic and easy to figure out. The courses are challenging but not too bad. This game is very addicting and you will find yourself playing it daily.
I really Love this game ... it has great graphics and is fun to play ! I bought it for my 3 year old son , but I will probably play it more than he will. I have a N 64 game console and will be upgrading to a PlayStation 3 when we can afford those expensive games it has. I like the nintendo 64 games because i can get them for 5- 10 dollars each here on Ebay.
a real good game,very realistic
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This was not one of Nintendo's best. their writer must have been sick or lazy during this making. Either that or they fired the wrong guy. Not all that great of a racing game! Celia
