Destruction Derby 64

"Lets crash and bash em!!!"

This game is awesome to play with friends. It will keep you coming back for more although you may beat it in like 5 minutes its still a star title at it’s best. It has awesome tracks designed perfectly with great graphics although the cars look kinda weird it’s still a star title to me. With plenty of shortcuts to find and some pretty good sound you should love this title. You can have awesome derbys. You can even play this one where you have a bomb on your car and you got to give it to another car before it explodes on you. Or you can race others cars on tracks like derbys except you got to pass check points as well as try to smash other cars to pieces. This is probably one of the funnest games I’ve ever played. Every thing in this game is so good. This is one of the best car racing, derbying, smashing game I’ve ever played.

GAMEPLAY **10**

The gameplay is easy to control the cars depending on the car. Some cars may steer better than others but that’s how most car driving games are. The controls to move, brake, reverse, and accelerate are simple and the N-64’s controller works well with this game. The controls are very simple nothing that requires a lot of thingking about. The gameplay of this game is very smooth.

SOUND / MUSIC **8**

The sounds and music in this game are just like many other driving games. You can hear the car accelerate or hitting another car. It’s the usual nothing really special just like any other driving game. The sounds all throughout the game are detailed and sound great. Everything is here nothing missing at all. Everything you hear is what you’ll hear if you do the same thing. All of the music in this game is very good and sounds great.

GRAPHICS / LEVEL DESIGN**9**

The graphics are great. They have just one problem that some of the cars kind of look like boxes. Everything is detailed very good and looks great. The level designs are awesome very detailed and are full of surprises. Each level is very different and is unique in its own way. All of the levels are very detailed and have all kinds of sweet things. On derby tracks they may have ramps or other obstacles. The levels are well done and are some of the best track designs I’ve seen in quite some time. The tracks have shortcuts and obstacles to dodge.

REPLAYABILITY**10**

It has lots of nice tracks to beat and to try to find all of the shortcuts. Its got awesome multiplayer that will keep you busy for all the time to come. With all of the cars to get and collect. This game will keep you busy for some time to come. If you play in the main game mode the replayability isn’t very hard because the game is very easy. The thing that makes this game so fun is just racing. Sure you may beat the game in no time but you’ll probably want to do it again.

CHALLENGE **6**

The main game challenge in this game is very easy but once you beat it you’ll probably want to do it again. The Derbys are pretty challenging. The key there is to mostly drive your car backwards. The games challenge may not be that hard but this is one of the best games I’ve ever played with the two player mode provides a lot of challenge and fun.

RENT OR BUY

Always rent a game first but if you like car racing but want to have a little fun trying to smash your opponents cars well then this title is for you. This is a game any racing fan would like. With all of the cars to try out and the spectacular tracks who couldn’t love this game.
