Diddy kong racing is One of my favorite racing games for the nintendo 64. It was actually one of the first games i've ever played. I enjoyed it a lot, But i never was any good at it. I liter picked it up when i was feeling nostalgic, And played it for hours upon hours at a time. It's like, With most rareware games, You can't forget about them. And you can't not play them. It's like they are attached to your soul completely. For the rest of eternity. That would be pleasant, As this game is an extremely well made game. Most games today seem like they're made solely for money, But these just feel like the creators wanted to make a good game for their great fans. Just by LOOKING at the game, You can tell it was made from heart. Not for some stupid riches! FOR THE LOVING FANS!. This is also the start of some familiar characters such as conker the squirrel, And banjo the bear. <3 banjo.
Graphics:9. The graphics are pretty good for Nintendo 64. I've seen better, But it looks good. They're a bit... Spiky. Could Definitely do better. But it's still pretty good for 64. But, Eh... I don't really judge graphics. After all... I like atari 2600 graphics.
I'm really out of things to say about the graphics... So i'll continue.
Sound:10. Nice sound effects. Nice and original, Not annoying, Very pleasants sounding except for when banjo screams in pain when he hits a wall. THAT could be rather annoying. Or when diddy gets blasted with a very large missile. But eh... I'll give them points for originality. Practically no one uses original sound effects. It's all genereic boings and stuff. Boring.... Rather stare at a fruitcake while listening to someone braf all over the place for 7 hours.
Music:10. I especially like this music. It has the right amount of peppiness, such as in ancient lake, And jungle falls, Gotta the pretty stuff in places like frosty village, and snowball valley, Got the halfway midevial srota thing going on in that dragony place, And you got the kinda creepy stuff in haunted woods. Mhm. A bit dark, depressing, With some peppy and happy stuff. Perfect mix no? I think it is. But eh... I have horrible opinions.
Addictiveness:10. Play it non stop for a while, Don't even get burnt out on it. It's just an all around fun racing game with cute fluffy animals blasting everyone with missiles. So cute. (You probably think i'm joking but i'm not. Just so you know.) Honestly the only thing that could pry me away from it is either sleep, Or vizzed, or some other incredibly addictive game.
Story:6. Ehh... I'm not ENTIRELY sure what the story is, But what i got from it is: Wizpig ruined everything, made all the realms cruddy. You have to go punch him in the face after collecting a bunch of balloons, So you can fix the darn places. Best translation i got. Hehe. Not much to see so... Ehhh.... me gives it a 6.
Depth:8. After beating the game, There's really not much you can do besides get T.T as a character. So..... Yeah. Thats it. Besides drumstick. And he's just a stupid bird. Not nearly as cool as kazooie. Why couldn't they have kazooie in this game : Would be so much better if it had her.
Difficulty:10. Extremely hard game. Seriously. Give up. Nearly impossible. It'll take FOREVER to beat the coin challenges for each realm. And then you gotta beat the bosses again. Which are even harder this time. Takes forever to beat, Then you gotta beat it again. Isn't that just oh so lovely?
So overall, This game is pretty snazzy. (I can't believe i ust used that word) Has nice pretty music, great graphics, Greater difficulty, And overall punches you in the face. But its a good punch in the face. It's good because the game is good. And you are a good person for playing the game.
Yeah.... I really ran out of things to say about this one... Curse the lack of
leep. It's a DEMON I tell you. o.o so tired.....
