  1. Here we have a lackluster game, made without respect for the reputation of the series, just aiming to deceive players desperately in need for speed.
  2. 30
    We wish we could say that diehard Midway racing fans will get enjoyment out of this one, but we're that exact crowd, and we'd go back to "Rush 2042" long before booting this up again.
  3. Unless you fancy the idea of paying $30 for a hacked-together port of an old arcade game that wasn't any good to begin with, you can safely ignore Cruis'n.
  4. The longevity in single player is pitiful and only slightly better in multiplayer, but not by much, while the gameplay feels like a severely downgraded version of Burnout and the presentation is simply atrocious.

    This game is really fun and really enjoyable just like it's arcade counterpart. It has a some awesome gameplay that you get to do stunts and such. It really have some excellent controls and maybe the best of any racing game. Also it has some great music and some good sounds but some of them can get annoying at times. I don't really mind of lack of extra features because I'm an arcade fan people who played this maybe never been to a arcade before. I don't like the loading times and some of the glitches also don't forget about the dropping framerate because it drops sometimes. But overall this is a really fun game that anyone will enjoy even for arcade fans. It also have a two player mode that hypes up the fun. It may have bad graphics and loading times but sometimes I'm a bit on the retro side and that is the reason I bought this game so if you play the arcade verison then you should love the home version of the game.

    Graphically challenged to say the least. Not sure if any skill required for this game, or just dumb luck.

    I wouldn't say it's the worst Wii racing game. There's Rig Racer 2 to deal with, after all...

    The only thing fun about this game is the control. The load time is rediculously slow - especially for the terrible quality of graphics that is rivaled by any game from 1992. Also, don't plan on using this game to end hours of bordom; it only took me about 3 hours to beat. Instead of paying $60 for this game consider picking up an N64 with Cruis'n Around the World. I'm actually annoyed that I bought this game. Expand
