97With a small drawback if you're coming to this game for the music, it is the best cycle game out there, not to mention one of the best N64 racers there is.
-
97It takes it all to the next level with a fantastic 3D engine, delightfully realistic physics, intuitive control, brilliantly detailed graphics, ingenious subtleties and tons of options.
-
The tracks are stunning and the physics engine manages to feel realistic, but also work perfectly as a game.
-
90Serious air is the truth with this bad boy. You better have skipped lunch if you're going to get on this wild ride!!
-
Added bonuses like the inclusion of the original side-scrolling turbo-cooling itty-bitty-bit masterpiece plus a tremendous hybrid of classic and new with 3D-ified straight and narrow, linear and delineated track design adds great gobs of icing to the cake.
-
90The game isn't perfectI would have liked even more tracks to race on as well as a few more racersbut there is no arguing the excellent gameplay.
-
88Some will cry about the frame rate, and some will wish the game featured real riders, but even these woes are forgotten when the game itself is so scrumptious.
-
100It's tricky. Plunge in with the right attitude though and this will keep you happy for months.
-
100All in all, this is an absolutely top class package.
-
90A near flawless game that never tries to get too fancy for its own good. It's simple and simply awesome.
-
This is the best racing game on the Nintendo 64. Period.
-
90Mahvelous. Those graphics are freakin' mahvelous.
-
95In addition to the superb animation, the game sounds awesome... Its dirt bikes actually sound like the real thing--none of that high-pitched tin squeal you'll find in other sub-par racers.

Excitebike 64 is to "Jeremy McGrath" what Grilled Filet Mignon is to Chilled Pickled Hog's Feet.
-
As fun as the original Excitebike (8-bit Nintendo), and it even has a custom track editor. [Jan 2004, p.189]
-
100We predict with confidence that Excitebike 64 will go down in gaming history as the best motorcycle game ever.
-
N64-owning racing fans owe it to themselves to pick up Excitebike 64, as do all gamers who appreciate control schemes that reward repeat playing.
