My review to the Nintendo 64 game: Mario kart 64. The game is made by Nintendo 1996(Who else?).
Well, here's the review:
Grafic: Grafic is nice. The stages are well painted(the rainbow ride is best) and the backgrounds are really nice. Well, I guess that's what counts. But other games still got better grafic. But grafic is good.
Score grafic: 9.0/10
Control: Control of the drivers is perfect. You can drive as you want. You have full control of the drivers and their abillities. Shoot shells and use your swamps to get first. Control is good.
Score control: 9.2/10
Funniness: Here, I guess many people got different opinions. I think this game is funny in the beginning. Playing two guys or more at the tournament could be funny, but after doing that 10 or more times, you probably will get bored. Then, go over to battle. That's this game saviour. Playing two or more guys in battle is real funny. I love the sequence coming behind your opponent at the donut, seeing him driving like nuts to get away, and I use my star, chasing him. That's real nice. Without the battle, the total score would be much lower. But as usual, if playing the game too much, this also gets boring. But as I said, without the battle this game would be worthless. After a few hours of playing the game, there's nothing more to discover. No hidden cool things, nothing revolutionary, nothing new. And that lowers the score a bit. But the battle makes the score much higher.
Score funniness: 8.8/10 (Playing one, 4.6/10)
Challenge: beating the game is easy. But boring. Every time you kick one of your opponents, they get some kinda "special power" and drives fast and pass you easily. It doesn't matter if you hit 'em or not, they come back anyway. But you gotta use your special stuff at the end, then you win. But that's not so cool. Beating the game is easy. After a few hours of playing, there's not so much more to discover, making the game even easier.
Score challenge: 5.4/10
Music/Sound: Songs that goes on in my mind. Music that is easy to remember, but just normal. I don't like the music nowadays, I'm sick of it!!!! I heard it so much I never ever again wanna hear it again. But music is ok. Sound is also quite ok, even if it doesn't have a function. The voices may be funny in the start, but later on you'll hate it. No, Nintendo should have worked better with the sound and the music.
Score music/sound: 7.4/10
Overall: Also a game to rent. I'd never buy this one. You gotta play multiple, not alone. Then you'll better save your time for something else. But this is a game better than the most on the N64(but that says nothing.) Still, this game is quite good. But don't buy it.
Score overall: 7.8/10
TOTAL SCORE(Score on a line between 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10): 8/10
last wicked line: Mario's supposed to be at every kinda catagory to every console.......
