Mario Kart 64 Review
- PLOT:
Mario and his friends (And villains) go kart racing. That is all.
- GRAPHICS:
Good for 1997. A lot of artifacts are 2D though, but they fit well.
- GAMEPLAY:
Well polished, however the rubber band AI makes it frustrating at times. Multiplayer is amazing however. Playing battle mode with a friend/with friends is one of the best experiences you can have with a game. The character selection was a measly 8 characters compared to the 24 we got in Mario Kart Wii, however the characters themselves are great. The 16 courses are beautiful and well designed and the items in the game are classic and get the job done.
- CONTROLS:
Very unique for its time. Good use of the N64 controller (For example the Z button on the back of the controller is used to shoot items, and the C buttons are used for camera control and HUD control)
- SOUND:
Wonderful soundtrack. Some of the best songs to come out of video games come from this game, such as the Rainbow Road theme.
- SUMMARY:
Although it isn't perfect, Mario Kart 64 is an amazing game that is a must-have for any Mario or racing fan. I give this game:
9/10
