Cruis'n World Kevric
Ah yes, the infamous Cruis'n World. Such an annoying game, yet somehow I can't seem to stop playing it. This is definitely one of those games you just have to play with your friends or pretty much anyone whose is in the vicinity.
The sequel to Cruis'n USA showed great promise as it allowed the player(s) to race against drivers on tracks around the world, instead of just hanging around the US. However, just like the original (and just like any other Cruis'n game), the concept of "catch-up" still applied. This is basically a cap on how a player maintains the lead in a race. For instance, it may seem like you are going to zoom right passed your CPU opponent as you start to creep up on him from behind when, suddenly, your opponent acquires some kind of magical force that propels him foreword just enough for the two of you to be neck and neck. That is, until a sharp turn comes up, and you take this turn just a little too wide causing you to fall behind your opponent by 2 seconds because the CPU can take any turn in the game without slowing down. It's pretty easy to accept this inevitability once you realize that there is no room for error if you want to win. It doesn't matter what car your driving or even how long you maintain the lead, because if you crash your car or drive off the road you, then you should restart the race if you want to finish in first place.
The game is MUCH more enjoyable to play with friends. Even though you may not come in 1st place, at least you'll have some bragging rights if you beat your friends! ;)

Cruis'n World is a fun game for people of all ages. This game is fun in lots of ways. First, the tracks, the cars, the music, they are just really awesome! Second, unlike the annoying Cruis'n USA, this game utilizes easy controls for me. And lastly, the graphics are really sharp and professional. I think Cruis'n World is a fun game to play by yourself or with friends. Also, I love how the "catch-up" technique helps maintain your speed against your opponents. But watch your back; the computer controlled vehicles can be a really big pain if you don't watch yourself. If you are looking for a racing game, this game is for you. No other racing game on the market has more features than Cruis'n USA.
