They never did put a Need for Speed game on N64, which always pissed me off back then. But they DID put this, made by the same basic people, and I'm glad they did. It's a very fun game, controls great, looks great, sounds great. Decent sense of speed, cool cars (even among the limited "one car type" set), very elaborate and imaginative tracks. They even managed to add a "battle" mode that is somewhat fun!
One of the N64's strong points, were racing games. That was one genre it definitely didn't lack. In fact, were it not for PS1 having so many Need For Speed and Ridge Racer games, I'd be willing to say the N64 was THE system to own for racing fans. And among such lofty company as Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Top Gear Overdrive, Extreme G, Wave Race 64, Cruis'n World, Star Wars: Pod Racer, etc., THIS is easily one of the very best on the console.
