THQ
Road Rash is a game series that's been around since the Sega Genesis, but this is its first incarnation on the Nintendo 64. For its part, THQ has done a smashing job of bringing the brawling motorcycle game into the world of 3-D.The game lacks much visual detail, but that lack allows a frame rate that never slows down, even when 10 or more bikers are on the road, hacking at each other and vying for the pole position. Like its ancestors, Road Rash 64 presents two goals--winning road races, and abusing other riders, including cops in pursuit. The crashes are spectacular. Sparks fly as bikes scrape along the pavement, and riders perform aerial acrobatics as they fly off their hogs. Text messages also appear onscreen to notify players of who caused whom to crash--a nice touch that is reminiscent of online multiplayer PC games.
The game has two major classes of motorcycles: cruisers that are durable and fast on straightaways, and sport bikes that are aerodynamic and nimble around turns. As players progress through a one-player game, they will be invited to join one of two bike-centric gangs, supplying relative immunity from their brethren during gameplay--unless you hit one of them first!
The multiplayer mode offers a number of different options, including lap races, death match, tag, and pedestrian hunting. While the single-player game is pure adrenaline fun, Road Rash 64 with four players is an experience not to be missed.
In addition to thrilling sound effects, Road Rash 64 has some very noisy, and very appropriate, musical accompaniment from real recording artists such as Sugar Ray and the Mermen. --Jeff Young
Pros:
- Excellent in-game music
- Great control and fluid action
- A cathartic, high-energy experience, especially in multiplayer mode
- Graphics don't feature very detailed textures, even with expansion pack support

Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA is the follow-up to the popular arcade-turned-platform-game San Francisco Rush, offering the signature rambunctious gameplay of the original with several welcomed new features. No longer limited to zipping through the streets of San Francisco, drivers plow through express tours of Seattle, New York (uptown and midtown), Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Honolulu, among other tracks. An addictive new feature is a stunt track, where players rack up points by performing spectacular jumps, in-air spins, flips, and loops. Ever seen skaters frolicking about at a skateboard park? Think bigger park with frolicking one-ton vehicles. Not the prettiest sight, but so much fun.Obviously, this is a far cry from the traditional auto racing game. Rush 2 is an all-out, full-throttle action racer, with cars careening through shortcuts, performing gravity-defying leaps, and, occasionally, actually racing down the main track. One cool feature (and slight annoyance): collecting keys and cans of a trademarked hyper-caffeinated soft drink--carefully placed on the track by cunning marketing executives--opens new areas, offers new vehicles, and provides cheats. --Eric Twelker
Pros:
- Same out-of-control fun as the original, with new enhancements
- Great offering of new tracks, cars, and secret features
- Strong multiplayer appeal
- Graphics slightly outdated
- Sound best enjoyed at an imperceptible volume

EA Sports
Fully loaded with all the authentic features that EA Sports titles are known for, this title is geared to be a NASCAR fan's dream ride. Forty NASCAR drivers and cars and 18 licensed tracks straight out of the 1999 NASCAR season are represented here, along with "live" commentary by famous auto-racing announcers and audio assistance from a crew chief and spotter.In addition to solid controls, NASCAR 2000 sports some impressive collision and damage effects, and makes up for its lack of car modifications by allowing players to change the game's "NASCAR options" to make the gameplay more real or less real. (Regardless of which way you like it, a rumble pack is strongly recommended.) Provided they're not deterred by the limited diversity in the courses--NASCAR tracks are almost exclusively oval-shaped--non-NASCAR fans will find this to be a decent racing game.
Those familiar with the Nintendo 64 version of NASCAR 99 should note that the 2000 edition is virtually the same game. While the PlayStation version introduces several new features--such as "Fantasy Road Courses" to liven up the endless left turns of "official" tracks--the only significant changes here are updated NASCAR statistics and one new track. --Joe Hon
Pros:
- Solid controls
- Impressive collision and damage effects
- Gameplay can be modified to be more real or less real
- Bland graphics
- Little variety in tracks, which tend to be ovals
- Limited number of opponents in 2-player mode
- Virtually the same game as its predecessor, NASCAR 99

If you're looking for the ultimate in road-racing realism, you've definitely clicked on the wrong title. But for pedal-to-the-metal arcade racing, Ridge Racer 64 brings home the checkered flag. Most of the racetracks are direct ports (with new scenery added) from the older Ridge Racer games for the PlayStation, but if you're new to the series, the Nintendo 64 version offers a great introduction to the classic racing franchise.Ridge Racer 64 features 25 different racing cars--but you'll need to win a race in order to unlock many of these sporty vehicles. Each car presents its own challenges, as control varies widely for each vehicle. The luscious graphics help create the game's illusion of speed. In particular, the feeling of a fast-moving environment remains intact in the processor-crunching four-player mode.
The Ridge Racer box claims the game features nine racetracks, which is only partially true. The game actually has three tracks, with three gameplay variations for each track. According to my math, that still adds up to a total of three tracks. Seasoned Ridge Racer fans will tear through these courses in practically no time at all, while newbies might discover a less than deep racing experience.
Fans of pure arcade racing will love the gameplay simplicity and stunning graphics of this winner. All in all, Ridge Racer 64 offers a ride that's fun, but way too short. --Mark Brooks
Pros:
- Impressive, speedy graphics
- Great fun in four-player mode
- Great no-brainer fun
Cons:
- Contrary to the game box, the game has three--not nine--tracks
- Game isn't particularly deep
- Experienced racers will breeze through the game
