    Doesnt try and copy the Mario Kart formula and makes it better for that.

    By patton101 | Review Date: Dec 22, 2005 | N64

    This game stands out on its own as a racing game. It doesnt try and mimic Mario Karts formula at all and its a better game for that. It's not a racing game were you can just pick up the controller, go right into some qui... Read Full Review

    I never owned it, but I had fun with it as a rental.

    By ApeOverlord | Review Date: Dec 20, 2005 | N64

    This game is unique because instead of just racing in a Kart, you can also ride in a plane or a hovercraft. Since it was 5 years ago since I played it, I still remember the good times I had playing it. Characters are fun... Read Full Review

    Diddy Kong Racing is a fun twist on an open racing genre.

    By cItYoFtHeDaMnEd | Review Date: Dec 18, 2005 | N64

    Diddy Kong Racing is one of the first "open" racing video games for the N64. These days more of the racing genre are produced, such as Need For Speed: Underground 2. This game is a lot of fun. I still havn`t beaten it. I... Read Full Review

    Gameplay-The controls in this game arent the greatest racer controls but it does a nice enough job of throwing kart,boat,and plane racing together.The controls can get clunky but once you master them,you will have an awe... Read Full Review

    Introduction: Diddy Kong Racing is a fun racing game with a few flaws. If you've played Mariokart before you should enjoy this, however most aspects aren't quite as good. It can be quite challenging at points and is wort... Read Full Review

    Although it might get a little repetitive, it is a good game overall.

    By ChowsSN | Review Date: Oct 11, 2005 | N64

    Seem like a very plain game. The cover has Diddy Kong on a Go-Kart, and what do you expect? A bunch of game characters racing each other on a Go-Kart for 16 hours straight. There's much more to the game than that. Althou... Read Full Review
