Not only one of the best racers on the Nintendo 64, but also one of the better kart racers in the last couple years.

And if you're too cool for this stuff, hey, grow up and get over it, because you're missing out on a terrific game.

"Diddy Kong Racing 2" it is not, but for many gamers out there, that might very well be a good thing.

With a strong difficulty level, plenty of tracks and several game modes, Mickey's Speedway is a good value for those who don't have a kart racer in their library.

A solid effort from Rare -- but not enough to uncrown the reigning Nintendo kart champs.

Don't be fooled by its cuddly exterior. With 20 tracks, four battle arenas, and a plenitude of hidden characters and cheats to unlock, Mickey's Speedway USA has enough substance to keep even the most dedicated kart racing fanatics coming back for more.

Fans of Donkey Kong Racing who wore out their controllers playing the game are going to be disappointed by Rare's latest offering.

If you already have MarioKart then I feel like it may be a waste to purchase a game that's a poor copy of Mario's concept.

Another game where the license does all the talking while the gameplay does very little walking.

GamePro
Despite some decent features, Mickey is way too easy for the experienced kart driver. Courses are short and the gameplay is straightforward, lacking any depth and variety to the characters and races.

Kids will enjoy the easy to master controls and Disney characters, but there isn't enough meat for the older, discerning gamer.

Spank!
An utterly pointless game in every way. Unless you're a Disney fanatic who's always wanted to drive Mickey Mouse round a load of bland go-kart track, this is not for you.

Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
A perfectly competent but utterly uninspired kart racer that pales in comparison with Mario Kart.

Rare isn't breaking any new ground with Mickey's Speedway USA; in fact, it's covering the same ground as the kart racers before it, only not as well.

A Very Good Game!!!!

Christiaan L. gave it a 10:
It is a supurb make-over of Mario Kart and has a few extras added to make it just as good as Mario Kart. I say just as good because nothing beats Yoshi flying down the track in first place.
