    It's tricky. Plunge in with the right attitude though and this will keep you happy for months.

    The control isn't the easiest to get the hang of, there were times I thought about snapping that little analog stick right off the controller!

    It takes some effort to get into, but it's worth it in the end when your reward for sticking it out are some exciting nail-biting races.

    The best game for the Nintendo 64 that I've played. It's hard to unlock all the tracks, but who cares? It's still fun to play, with nice graphics, and even better sound effects. A must-play.… Expand

    Very fun game. It also takes a long time to beat the game like Jason said.

    Excitebike 64 is definitely forgettable title. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but there wasn't anything that drew me in. I noticed this title tries to transfer the original Excitebike into the 3-D realm, which worked for titles like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64, but it just makes Excitebike 64 a mediocre motocross that can be compared to the average $0.99 PlayStation 2 motocross game of today. I am sure back then it was good, but today, it doesn't hold up. Just forget about this title! Overall, good graphics of the time, but for present day standards, it's just better to watch it burn in a bonfire!… Expand
