    The system has its fair share of racing titles to be sure, but most of those games feature balloon-headed cartoon drivers or vehicles that jump over city buildings. What a breath of fresh air then, to be able to play a game on the Nintendo 64 that is at once stunning to behold and completely satisfying in its realism.

    This is something that shouldn't be passed up by anyone. If you are impatient with videogames or don't like GT style racing games, I suggest you at least give it a rent. Play a few hours and unlock a few cars, you'll be hooked and will love every second of it.

    World Driver is a welcome distraction in a genre overpopulated with stale paint-by-numbers racers. This is definitely not the right game for people with short attention spans -- but a well-crafted title for car fans and gamers looking for a long-lasting gameplay experience.

    If you're looking to hop into an intense racing experience without the hinderances of setting the vehicle up or dealing with super accurate damage than this game is for you.

    Best racing game for the N64, but you have to come along with the car handling.

    Reading the review from IGN made me realise what a sad little organisation they are to rate this game so lowly. We must realise that there is much more to games than graphics and this game delivers exeptional gameplay. This game has absolutely the best fun and genuinely close racing (with no real obvious catchup) and the one lap qualifying rocks. Better than the playstations gran turismo? Short to medium term definately however it doesn't have all of the options to construct and tweak your car. And really, a driver doesn't build their car, they race it and a racing game should have good racing which is where WDC delivers. … Full Review »
