When I first heard about this game I thought this is going to be lame, By was I ever wrong. This is one of the most fun racing games I've played in a long time on the N64. You race in exotic tracks with '99 VW Beetles every track has tons of shortcuts, secrets and cool stuff the discover. The graphics are done really well, and the control is great to. Sliding curves and crashing through stuff what could be better. There's even a cheat menu like Goldeneye, In this game there's hidden boxes that opens the cheats.
There's about 10 VW Beetles to choose from (Once you opened them all) but they all look the same except for the paint jobs and stats. I thought they could have added a classic 60's Beetle along with the new style but it's not a big deal. Also this game has a 2-4 player beetle battle mode, where you and your friends dual it out to destroy each other in your Beetles. (Similar to Mario Kart)
If your looking for a serious racing game, this is not it. But if your looking for a fun racing game with tons of secrets to discover this game is a must play.
