Pros: Good graphics, nice vehicles, nice color and framerate
Cons: kind of kiddish, most people consider this a rental game
Summary: 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: Fun-exploration style single player
Cons: Powerups are pretty weak, coin bits are obnoxious
Summary: Diddy Kong Racing is basically a Mario-Style Kart Racing game, albeit with a somewhat different setup. To be fair, what it tries at it succeeds in, but there are often mixed results and the balancing of the game is kind of strange.For a ... read more

Pros: Does the cartoon look proud, fun to play with friends
Cons: Music can drive you crazy, bland courses, short and repetitive
Summary: Riding the kart racing trend on the Nintendo 64, Diddy Kong Racing attempts to one-up its Mario competitor with tighter controls (for everything but the hovercraft stages), more courses and an adventure mode, but is ultimately held back by useless coin ... read more

Pros: Voices, speed, maps, secrets, RPG like
Cons: never been emulated correctly
Summary: I have never had so much fun with the Kongs, nor have I ever played a racing game quite like this one. I have played Rad Racer for NES, Mario Cart for SNES and N64 plus many others including many for systems as old as Atari. None compared to Diddy Kong ... read more

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

Pros: Fun, challenging, and entertaining!
Cons: The thing takes forever to beat!
Summary: 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: Tons to do.
Cons: Takes a long time to finish the Adventure.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Graphics are okay for 2 years ago, nothing special now.
Cons: Too much for little kids, not very appealing to teens.
Summary: The one thing I don't like about this game is it's level of immaturity. They advertised this game as a hardcore racing game, when realistically, it plays stupid music while you race little kids type cars and planes and have characters that talk and act ... read more

Pros: fun, easy to learn, good characters/courses, good graphics
Cons: none
Summary: I just love those monkeys. The characters in this game, I know, are very interesting. The selection of players in the game is very good, and there are many courses to choose from. The game has a unique way of choosing courses, and an entertaining point ... read more

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...
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Cute Charecters and fun to play

Summary: Diddy Kong racing is such a cute game! The charecters are adorable with ones like Pippy the Mouse and Diddy the Monkey. There are about 9 players to choose from plus some bonus ones.
This game is also addictive. For one, there is a part of ... read more

Pros: Cute, Fun, Good Replay Value
Cons: Can get old after a while - but great fun until then!
Summary: This cute little game is good for hours of fun. Though basically a Super Mario Kart clone on the N64, it was done very well with a number of new features that help fans of the old SNES game stay interested.
First, there are new vehicle types. ... read more

Pros: Easy
Cons: TOO easy, boring!
Summary: Obviously, this game was intended to be a rival to Mario Kart. It didn't work. The game is far too 'cutesy' for me, and most everyone else I know. The big-eyed characters and the sparkly balloon power ups would make you think it was for kids. ... read more

Pros: It's fun and exciting with new levels to open up.
Cons: Once it starts getting really hard, it gets boring.
Summary: I usually like racing games. I also have MarioKart64(which I love). I wasn't surprised when I had a blast with Diddy Kong's Racing.
There are always new boards to find. Each new level is fun and exciting. I played for hours on end, never ... read more
