Diddy Kong Racing for Nintendo 64

Pros: Tons to do.
Cons: Takes a long time to finish the Adventure.

Diddy Kong Racing has a terrible reputation for being a "rental only" game- that couldn't be farther from the truth! I could see where people get that perception if you were only looking for something to rent for a couple of nights that didn't...

Pros: Spin-of of Donkey Kong Series, fair number of tracks, many objectives
Cons: Not enough battle tracks, not enough DK characters

Diddy Kong Racing combines the Donkey Kong franchise, with the popular Mario Kart style of racing. Although Mario Kart is still the best of the genre, Diddy Kong racing adds many new elements, and I found it different enough to own both titles. The big...

Pros: Good graphics, nice vehicles, nice color and framerate
Cons: kind of kiddish, most people consider this a rental game

Finally!! A game based on racing that has a plot to it rather than racing to be first in every race. I had been waiting for one of these games to finally be released, and now Diddy Kong Racing has taken up the first role.

...

Pros: very good graphics, great music, good levels and adventure mode...
Cons: some music stinks, gets repetitive after you've been playing it for a while, could've been a few more modes to play...

Note: The most important parts of this review are in bold.

Yes, Rare has blessed the N64 yet again. Although Diddy Kong Racing isn't something spectacular, it's a very good, solid racing game that you'll be playing for a...

Pros: Fun, challenging, and entertaining!
Cons: The thing takes forever to beat!

Diddy Kong racing is actually a fun game. The point in a nutshell is that you're trying to reopen all the race courses on an island and defeat an evil pig (yes, an evil pig!) named Wizpig. All this while collecting balloons, trophies, and metals.
...

Pros: good
Cons: excellent

Diddy Kong Racing (DKR) is Nintendo's big holiday title. That's actually quite surprising, since it was developed by Rare. It's also surprising because DKR has little of the innovation that made Mario 64 the must-have game of last Christmas season. DKR...

Pros: Great graphics, lots of variety
Cons: Too addicting!

Ok, Diddy Kong Racing rocks isn't exactly my phrase, but my kids insisted! This is one game where our 9 and 10 year olds can beat our 12 year old. Something to be said for that! This game is a wonderfully fun racing game. The best part, I'd have to...

Pros: multiplayer, graphics, control
Cons: made for kids

Rare tries to out-MarioKart Mario Kart, and ends up with an incredibly fun and long game with cute talking animals in cuter vehicles and lands.

This big guy-- pig, I guess-- comes and goes "Bwaa ha haa" a lot, because he's evil....

Pros: great for little kids,graphics,
Cons: too kiddy for the older kids,price

I have two kids under 6 years old and this tape is the one to get with small children. It is easy to maneuver and does not require the child to press 6 buttons at once like other N64 games do. It's challenging on the kids level and keeps their attention...

Pros: decent graphics, colorful, good younger-kid fare
Cons: game play is way too simple, probably not at all appealing to older kids

This one ain't just a waste of money. It's a waste of the plastic the cartridge was made out of.

Diddy Kong Racing will remind you of Mario Kart 64, only... well, it's just not as good. Diddy and his woodland friends climb into...

Pros: Air, land, or, sea
Cons: Very difficult, main game should be 2 player

Diddy Kong racing has a unique setup. You start in an area with a fat elephant walking around, where you can practice driving while trying to find a level you have enough points to enter. When you do, you go into the stage and race to try to...

Pros: Vehicles, multi-player modes, balloons, Rumble Pack
Cons: graphics, controls, repetition

I bought this game expecting Mario Kart quality. I was shocked to find out that it wasn't, and by this, I mean worse. The game's graphics are a bit iffy, and the controls are much worse. The levels can be repetitive, and the gameplay just isn't...

Pros: good graphics, fun to play, smooth gameplay
Cons: kiddish storyline

Diddy is a very good game. You can see a lot of time was put into the detail of this game. The graphics are good for a game like this. When you beat different boards by racing to try to beat the game, not such a bad idea..The game play is incredibly...

Pros: Great for kids
Cons: Cost 39.99 Kind of expensive

When we got our Nintendo 64, we were wondering what kind of games to buy that would be good for kids. We thought about renting a video game at our local video store, but w/o much time to spare(we wanted to get my oldest son a video game for Christmas...

Pros: helps build memory skills
Cons: none

My son got Diddy Kong racing for his birthday last year. He loves to play his Nintendo-64. He would spend hours without even coming out of his room. We bought this game so we all could play. It was always a good time racing against my kids. My son...
