Pluto The Pup

Mickey’s Speedway USA, a great racing game for Nintendo 64. Pluto is kidnapped by those no-good weasels! Its up to Mickey and his friends to race across the USA and get him back! How exciting! Its very rare that I say a racing game is better than Mario Kart 64. It almost never happens. Keeping that in mind, I have to say that this game might just be better than Mario Kart 64 (GASP!) Its more fast-paced, the items are more fun to use (but tougher to master), the music is more catchy (Well…at times, anyway), the graphics are great for an N64 game (in my opinion), the battles are more frantic, and the characters have more chemistry. What other racing game has character yelling at each other by name based on how they interact? It feels like they’re actually interacting with each other instead of just saying generic phrases. The almost nonstop voices might annoy some other people, but I loved it. (You can turn the voices off or adjust their volume in the options menu as well) However, its not as challenging as other racing games until later on in the game, which can be seen as a downside. Plus, some of the courses are too short and easy, and on the opposite end of the spectrum some are way too hard (Colorado is straight from hell) I think its sort of a shame that not a lot of people have heard of it, and a lot of those who have heard of it dismiss it as “just a Disney game”. In my opinion, this is a game worth being played. Feel free to disagree, but don’t knock it til you …
