Cruis'n Exotica for Nintendo 64

Pros: The cars, everything

Cons: Amy Dumas's stupid cheating, the stupid camera

Review: Nintendo 64: $99.00. Cruis'n Exotica game pak: $65.00. The look on Amy Dumas's face when I saw her crash into a car: priceless. Me laughing at that cheater: priceless. I liked it because you can do superflips. When opponents get too hard, I give them a...

Pros: It looks good

Review: Midway is well-known for trying to inject life into once-great franchises like NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, Mortal Kombat, and others. The Cruis'n series actually began as a joint effort between Williams (whom Midway bought out) and Nintendo (to showcase their...
