 Its not that bad..... January 6, 2002

Okey,I own this game, and Some of the reviews say this game is very bad. I disagree because of everything in the game. I can only see ONE thing bad about this game, the tracks are too narrow, making it hard to pass. I think you shout definatly buy this game.
 Worst graphics ever, lots of circuits, easy play control December 28, 2001

To start with, the graphics for the CARS are excellent and it will blow you away even when you are picking one of the eleven cars to drive, like a police car, a 70s bus, a beetle, a Rolls Royce and a taxi cab. You can chose auto or manual transmission, then you play the game, and the graphics and the sounds for the course are so terrible its like playing Atari, the graphics are blocky and the game itself moves slow! Also unlike the other Cruisin' games where you go straight along a course, these are circular tracks (you do four laps) in places like Las Vegas, Mars and Ireland. In each of those cities are several racetracks that you can progress along. The options are the normal options, no difficulty options, but there is a "car damage" option, which adds realism to the game. The bottom line is terrible graphics, probably the worst for Gameboy Advance or the old Gameboy, simple play control, lots of short circuits. Avoid this game and get one of the two other great racing games from Nintendo, F-Zero and Mario Kart Circuit!

Hi people, I just played this game. Beleive me... it's REALLY bad. You won't get the cruisin' feel. They chose to use a DOOM engine on a racing game and although the idea sounds GREAT, it didn't turn out to be as I had hoped for. Every time you bump against the walls (which by the way, the game is 95% square tunnels) the car slows down almost entirely making the cruisin' fade. It should be called "Parkin'velocity" since I didnt feel any velocity throughout the 5 mins it took away from me until I got frustrated with how bad it was. I undestand that a handheld has limitations in racing games, but GT ADVANCE and HOT WHEELS ARE AWESOME and those are made for the same GBA so... I won't take that excuse.
Another downside is that the cars DON'T have any animation at all, meaning, that when they turn, there are only about 4 prerendered images of the car rotating which makes the experience even more boring. GT ADVANCE and HOT WHEELS (GT BETTER OF COURSE) have great animation and great and speedy graphics, whilst this one lacks them all.
AVOID THIS GAME... Trust me =)

While the graphics isn't bad, the gameplay is rather lacking, with controlling the cars almost impossible. For a better racing game check out "GT Advance Championship Racing".
