Diddy Kong Racing !!

   I chose to do this review today because it's such a legend.
Anyone that owned a Nintendo 64 should have owned this game.
I honestly cannot think of anything bad about it, even if I tried.

As usual I will give my personal opinion about the game and then break down my ratings.
Keep in mind that my opinion may differ from yours, other then that happy reading.


    Dude, this game has so much to explore and so many challenges / ways to have fun it still blows my mind.
I know most people say Mario Kart was the bomb but Diddy Kong Racing was the nuke!! ( if that makes sense ) .
Everyone I knew as a kid had this game. It's full of amazing characters, levels, and with so many ways to play it
makes itself an instant classic. " Cars, Planes, and Boats OH MY ! "  Over all I gave this a 9.9 Rating.
I would have given it a 10 but c'mon, there is no such thing as a perfect game. Although this one comes really close.

Graphics: 10
  
   Talk about visually appealing, Diddy Kong racing is incredibly well done.  Major props the the designers and animators.
For a Nintendo 64 game, Diddy Kong Racing set an amazing standard for graphic quality. I would even argue that its
graphics are better then Mario Kart, but that's just my opinion.  Textures such as water, sand, and snow are really nice.
its just a very colorful and imaginative game all around.

Sound: 10
  
   The sound quality is just as good. With every character having multiple noises for certain reactions.
The sounds of the environment are on point. The vehicle noises are also really pleasing to my ears.
OH! And who can forget the awesome music. This game is filled with so many great tracks its just crazy.


Addictiveness: 9


   I could easily play this for weeks with a couple friends and never get bored. This game has a ton of levels to race on.
Plus the battle mode is really well done. Hell, even the story mode played in single player is fantastic.
I wish they could make a second one for the present day consoles. Nintendo Switch maybe?

Story: 9

   The story totally fits the game style. Collecting points from competing in races until you have enough to do the boss for that area.
The boss races are pretty great too, they gradually get hard with each one you complete, and the all have different settings from each other.
I don't want to throw spoilers in here so I can't elaborate to much about the fine details.

Depth: 9

   The variety of options makes this game what it is really. With multiple vehicles to choose from Diddy Kong racing brought a whole new aspect to racing games for the console. Single player story is really fun.  Multiplayer races and battles keep the experience really fresh
I would recommend this game to anyone !


Difficulty: 8
  
   Now, personally I didn't find the game to be super hard. In fact, I don't think it's supposed to be. It's challenging that's for sure but not mind numbingly difficult or anything along those lines. When I was a kid it was much harder to beat the story. As an adult it's a cake walk for me
but a fun cake walk none the less. It's just a really good balance.  I wouldn't change a thing.


Well this concludes my review for Diddy Kong Racing. A big thank you to all those who took the time to read this.
Any comments are appreciated, as long as they aren't too harsh. NOW GO TRY IT OUT!!

I've heard a lot of mixed opinions about this game so I decided to check the review out to see yours. Even though I haven't played it, I'm glad some people like it!

Once again, you did a great job breaking down each category and explaining what makes it worthy of your rating. The spacing was better too, making it easier to read. Nice job, keep it up!
