Nintendo 64

Diddy Kong Racing

A single-player adventure mode lets you unlock tracks to use in the multiplayer modes, and it's madly addictive but never frustrating. Catchy tunes play throughout the races, including a few that sound like Christmas carols in the snow stages. With exciting racing action that places fun over realism, Diddy Kong Racing is a top-notch title for the Nintendo 64.

The music in this game is also really neat each track has it's own unique. Although in 3 and 4 player there seems to be no music. The only thing where Mario Kart 64 outshines DKR is the multiplayer, although DKR is good and has some quite original courses it just doesn't compare to MK64. If you're a fan of Mario Kart then you will feel right at home with DKR it plays very similar to the fat plumbers title. Overall this is a brilliant title and what Mario Kart 64 should have been it has some of the most colourful graphics and sound for one of the earlier N64 titles. In my opinion this is better than Mario Kart 64 and would strongly recommend purchasing this superb title.

Ese modo Aventura, la posibilidad de correr en varios vehículos o la genial BSO con la que cuenta el juego, por comentar algunos aspectos importantes, hacen de Diddy Kong Racing un título casi imprescindible para la consola. Por otra parte un multijugador con el que disfrutaremos mucho durante largo tiempo. Sin lugar a dudas este juego es una genial opción tanto individualmente como jugando con amigos. Una vez más, Rare deja en Nintendo 64 un título con una calidad excelente.

Diddy Kong Racing is a calculated, copy of a game that Nintendo, not Rare, originated. But as is the case with Rare, the company has that amazing knack for taking an idea and crafting it into something beautiful. Diddy Kong Racing is a deep, colorful game with an overly kiddy feel and look. But after a few minutes, you'll be compelled with subtle details, blissful gameplay and graphics, and the full, rich world that makes Diddy Kong Racing an even better game than Mario Kart.

Diddy Kong Racing is a game that shouldn't have been released for at least another six months. The foul taste left behind by Mario Kart 64 is still too fresh in my mind to accept a game as similar as this, even though this is a much better game than Kart 64 ever was. Also, the game could have used a few more worlds and more tracks, as the repetitiveness of DKR is what ultimately kills it.
