Classic Game Room reviews CRUIS'N WORLD for Nintendo 64 from Midway released in 1998, a fabulously fun arcade style driving game from Eugene Jarvis and company! Cruisin World has numerous game play modes including championship, world tour and 1-4 player racing mayhem! Invite some friends and crash, jump and race to victory! While the N64 visuals may appear dated they run exceptionally smoothly which is ideal for driving games. Arcade style controls work well and sound and music are fun and compliment the gameplay and "real world inspired" race locations!

CHILDHOOD!!! Who here feels great nostalgia hearing the 'Checkpoint' sound?

@eltigreandthewalrus 10 лет назад

The late 90's and early 2000's had some of the best Arcade racers ever made. and the PS1, N64 and Dreamcast had some of the best ever made to date.

@epb111 9 лет назад

blasphemy, the music in this game was great

@stuff4ever 11 лет назад

My favorite racing game on the 64. God, the memories.

@Bopsterjazz 9 лет назад

My daycare had the arcade version as a kid and it was always one of those things that you had to line up for. I was the top highscore holder every time I played it. I had no idea that they made an N64 version. Might have to pick it up and see if I remember all of the shortcuts. I keep getting it mixed up with Exotica, which I kind of suck at and it's not impressing my friends at all. XD

@platypusofdeath3582 10 лет назад

this is hands down my favorite racing game of all time. I stopped playing new video games a while ago because they stopped making the genres that I like. Every game I've tried and hoped to like, the makers tried to make it too realistic. I don't want realism to get in the way of my fun.

@stunnedpanda 10 лет назад

Wow so much nostalgia. I played the shit out of this on my N64 as a kid. Even had a wheel with brake/gas pedals which was pretty badass.

@CRCamp86 11 лет назад

Yeah, we would always go to the other person's house to play games on the systems we didn't have. I had the Sega Saturn and my friends had the N64 and PS1 but WE all ENJOYED playing games together and spending time playing something different. We would also go outside and play too.

@CeroneGamesGo 11 лет назад

Every Laundromat I've ever been to had this arcade cabinet. That Cruis'n theme song is the bane of my existence.

@Zoyous 11 лет назад

4:46 The director, Eugene Jarvis, is also the designer of many classic Williams titles including Defender, Robotron 2084, and NARC.

@SkellerART 11 лет назад

I think this is why I spend more time digging through Pawn and Thrift shops for older Games than I do in Gamestop

@xboxmodder02 11 лет назад

For peoples information the N64 wasnt region locked.It just had security tabs in the cartridge port preventing you from playing other region cartridges.PAL games happily worked on a USA and japanese system as well as japanese and USA games worked on the PAL system , once the tabs had been removed.

@ladyjaye27 11 лет назад

Lest we forget, this game was designed/directed by Eugene Jarvis, best known for his games Defender, Defender II/Stargate, Robotron 2084, NARC, and Smash TV.

@jimmymyers 3 года назад

I played the arcade version of this a few months ago was pretty cool but the monitor was kinda dim. Just ordered this online for my N64.

@neko_samurai 2 года назад

What a jump from one game to its sequel! Mark hated the first game, but he gushed over this one.

@eiadtarabulsi 11 лет назад

Polar bears, seals, penguins, squids and Patagonian toothfish are all drinking beer right now. They also agree that your video reviews are awesome. Good times!

@joeorsini6110 9 лет назад

I played the American NTSC version on my American N64. I unlocked Power Levels 2-5 in Championship mode as well as Paint Job and Two-Tone. In Cruise The World mode, to advance to the next track you have to finish 3rd or better. Finishing 3rd or better on the Florida track (that being you finishing 3rd or better on the other tracks) unlocks the Moon track. Even if you finish 3rd or better on the Moon track, you've still beaten the game.

@joeorsini6110 9 лет назад

No, Techtic, I did not; it'd take me FOREVER to unlock the Speed Demon car, as well as Power Level 6. To get the Speed Demon car and Power Level 6, you have to accumulate 9,999 or more points in Championship mode. The Speed Demon is the fastest car in the game.

@nightruler666 11 лет назад

back then those games were fresh and they weren't shoved down our throats like they are being right now

@Corsair807 11 лет назад

There was actually a secret track in this game that took place on the Moon, which Mark unfortunately didn't show. That sequence you saw there is what played right before you raced on said Moon track.

@Tallow27 11 лет назад

Man that song is pretty nostalgic to me now. This and Rush were so much fun on the n64.

@OldCommercials4u2 11 лет назад

I never played the Cruis'n N64 games back in the day because they had terrible reviews in most of the magazines. But now I love them.

@puregamer305 11 лет назад

I loved this racing game so much when I was a kid. This and cruising USA

@EnigmaHood 11 лет назад

It's one of the most unique looking of all time, that's for sure.

@JeruTheDamaja3 11 лет назад

I had a lot of fun playing this and also San Francisco Rush 2 on the N64.

@AndyVoong925 11 лет назад

The car that Mark was using at 3:13, reminded me so much of the Daihatsu Midget.

@Joeybagels718 11 лет назад

Ah man , I played the Crusin' series throughout my childhood. Exotica and World were my favorites! Thanks for the upload Mark!

@BackForwardPunch 11 лет назад

Mark! I'm surprised you didn't mention this is a Eugene Jarvis game! You love Robotron!

@johnsapp798 Год назад

I actually miss crazy games like this they were fun.

@AxiomofDiscord 11 лет назад

The game did get a more cartoon like color palette with very basic and bold colors, but I still think this is my favorite of the series. This is the one I would play forever if I could only play one game in the series till the end of time. I loved USA and World everything since has been a pure betrayal.

@TheHippieHedgehog 11 лет назад

I used to stay up all night playing this game with my cousins trying to unlock the speed demon and beating it in general.Now days I catch myself singing the songs more than caring about playing the game lol...Especially the theme song.

@Bliced 11 лет назад

man when that intro pops up I get super nostalgic lol

@ZakkandtheJ 11 лет назад

Fave N64 racer thanks for finally reviewing this game Mark! You rule!!

@SkellerART 11 лет назад

I loved this Game! I used to Play it in the Arcade all the time...well...back when we HAD an Arcade :/ I got to say my favorite car in this Game was the 3 Wheeled pick up truck, I loved changing it's Color Scheme to " Rust " XD

@JEFFYjackass 11 лет назад

I wasn't that big on racing games but this was my favorite!

@jcrowley1985 11 лет назад

Technically, the N64 is region free. The only thing stopping cross region playing are the differently shaped back plates on the cartridges. You can easily swap out the back plates to play imports on US consoles. I did it with a few Japan carts.

@AndresNaulaB 11 лет назад

Yes there are... Mass Effect, Skyrim, Minecraft, Skyward Sword, Mario Galaxy, Xenoblade Chronicles, Bioshock, Batman Arkaham City/Asylium, just naming a few from the top of my head... maybe not the best games of all time but hell pretty damn memorable... I am a nostalgia person too, but I try not to be biased with new games comming out just because "they are not like they used to be" :)

@zambonijones350 11 лет назад

00:42 Massive pun over load. Awesome puns there Lord Karnage.

@ferisalgue 11 лет назад

this was my second game for my N64 back in the day, 1st one being super mario 64 ;3 such great memories.....

@SylveonTrapito 11 лет назад

I used to play this a lot in the arcade near my house. Good times! I played it along Sega Rally, KOF 97 and Time Crisis.

@xyanide1986 11 лет назад

Let's not kid ourselves there were plenty crappy generic games back then too, we just have a much better overview of the gems now. I also like how 'indie' games are much easier to access these last couple of years.

@mattcrowell5875 4 года назад

Interesting, I recall playing a game that visually looked a lot like this game in the arcade and I wasn’t even born during the time this was made, I suppose it was just an old cabinet at the pizza place.

@DocSicnarf 11 лет назад

I like to switch it up here and there. Go from first person shooter to third person shooter. Really changes the gaming experience.

@artdcora 11 лет назад

That music brings back memories.

@Rakiarmas 11 лет назад

I like Cruis'n series. They are pretty fun games & I like these arcade type of racing games. Hopefully Mark finds/get's more games for N64, so that he could review them. I was suprised how many great games N64 has.

@Capta1nFalc0n 11 лет назад

I played this and Cruisin' USA in the arcades, and then my roommate got the new Ultra Super Nintendo (as I called it)... and I played these games 'till I had fully upgraded all the cars. I recently got my own N64 (they're cheaper now), and Cruisin' USA was the first cart I got. You don't like the music? It's my second favorite song, after "DAAAY-TONA!!"

@samx8835 9 лет назад

Funny how Mark constantly praises how fun this game is, yet he shit all over Cruis'n USA. Was there that much improvement between the two?

@pablobg6823 9 лет назад

Sam x yes, yes it was.

@calamaty9963 8 лет назад

Thank you! There were improvements here and there but the driving was similar.

@cloudstrife1983 7 лет назад

Sam x Yes. This was massively improved.

@smokecrackhailsatan 11 лет назад

Faxanadu for NES. one of the most underrated games of all time. Get your hands on a copy.

@RJKYEG Месяц назад

You have to drift all the turns in this game, it steers way smooth.

@MetalHeadJagger 11 лет назад

This game rocks I still have this game and still love it

@Ryuhei64 11 лет назад

It was great for some genres, bad for others. I never had a problem with the analog. Very comfortable and it didn´t degrade or broke

@The90sGamingGuy 11 лет назад

Played this game in the acrades in the 90's. The N64 port was okay at best. Would love to play the arcade version one day!

@chemergency 11 лет назад

Yup. A lot of Chuck-E-Cheeses had Cruisin' USA, Hydro Thunder, and Star Wars Episode 1: Racer too from what I remember.

@riversideresident29 11 лет назад

I looooovvveeee this game!!!!! I hate race car games but this Cruis'N USA, Road Rash 2, Mario kart and a few other older games turned that hate into love lol! Thanx for this CGR

@Kj16V 11 лет назад

In answer to your question, Mark, there are indeed elephants roaming loose around Germany. I stayed in Germany a few years back and the elephants were a real nuisance, standing on the local peoples' mullets as they tried to go about their business.

@alex36burbidge 10 лет назад

Hey, I've played the arcade version at Jersey Mikes!

@JaiMidwinter 11 лет назад

Wow, directed by the guy who made Defender, the best video game ever kiddies.

@CeroneGamesGo 11 лет назад

CGR should have its own Local Broadcast channel.

@ShapeyFiend 11 лет назад

It's been a long time so my memory is hazy but I think PAL had more lines on the screen, but refreshed at 50hz rather than 60hz. If the game was converted properly it'd run fine (the Dreamcast was the 1st time we started getting a lot of proper conversions) but the slap dash conversions before that generally ran slower.

@MyWonderApple 11 лет назад

Nostalgia to the max, loved playing this game back in the day!

@glitchedoom 11 лет назад

Yet it's the one I had the most fun playing as a kid. Ah, rose-colored glasses...

@partisan49 11 лет назад

i remember playin this at my local movie theater all the time when i was a kid

@BobbyCarillo 11 лет назад

PS1, PS2, PS3, Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis had the best controllers ever.

@thepokekid01 11 лет назад

I think my favorite (western) game of this type is still Cruisin' San Francisco... now that I'm older though, I should have expected entirely different gameplay elements..

@TromaDogg 11 лет назад

Loved this game, and I'd still rate it as one of my favourite racing games of all time. Unfortunately though, the N64 port of Cruis'n USA was so poor that it created a bad reputation for the series before the sequels even arrived and a lot of people never gave the later Cruis'n games a chance.

@HIM.9 11 лет назад

i have this game for my n64 and i never noticed the supra in this game had a duel rear wind screen. damn it mark!!!

@Silvergun_Raven 11 лет назад

Racing on the moon was always fun!

@FaloRoy010203 11 лет назад

Mark has an amazing voice.

@brandenrailey 11 лет назад

You have to review RALLISPORT CHALLENGE 2 on the original Xbox. It's a highly underrated racing title. Great visuals and oddly enough, highly realistic crashes. The first game is good but the second is perfect. Please see if you can get your hands on a copy. I'd buy it for you if I could. Thanks for the great reviews.

@Hijynx87 9 лет назад

I liked the future cruis'n game, they had a stunt mode that my friends and I were addicted to, heavily, withdrawls and all.

@petpolitics 8 лет назад

+Hijynx87 You might be thinking of Rush 2049

@HereForAStorm 11 лет назад

I can appreciate a modern take on these older games, but most of them are not timeless, and they were great products for their time... they don't always translate well today.

@ya64 11 лет назад

Also, you race on the moon! With a tricycle! That does backflips!

@EvilSockMonkeys 11 лет назад

I still have this game :' ) Good Times

@SylveonTrapito 11 лет назад

That´s the best region lock protection ever! I wish the 3DS was the same...

@MarNieCo 11 лет назад

So, one of the games I played the most during my childhood and still own gets reviewed and it was sent in from my hometown? Small World.

@NeatStuff86 11 лет назад

The music in this game is good and the n64 controller is just fine too really

@COBOL 11 лет назад

That strange 3-wheel purple car is a mighty Piaggio Ape!

@linuxviking 11 лет назад

I love the intro to this game lol

@Mac2Night777 11 лет назад

best racing game ever made probably played 1000s of hours playing this game

@jcrowley1985 11 лет назад

I'm not sure about PAL games. Like I said I did it with Japanese cartridges and US and Japan are both NTSC. The 50/60 Hz thing might be an issue with Pal games though.

@ItsSoDane 11 лет назад

What a classic. I love this game.

@MrTrancedsailor 11 лет назад

Outrun of the 90's. It was pretty fun when you were like 10 years old in 1994.

@Camps2630 11 лет назад

You didn't wheelie at the finish line!!.. Rule of thumb, you ALWAYS wheelie at the finish line!!

@chrsuppe 11 лет назад

The Germany level's music gives me goosebumps to this day. I god damn LOVE it :>

@djklink20009 11 лет назад

lol that wasn't an elephant sound that was a group of singers going ahhhhhhhhh together its in a eurotrance song aswell but i forgot the name of it

@MidwestGomez 11 лет назад

Surprised that this isn't simulation racing game since director Eugene Jarvis 4:47 is known for his realistic, deep simulations like his robot apocalypse simulator, Robotron 2084

@SpiralPegasus 11 лет назад

There's a difference - back then they were actually different and had different games... unlike now, where fanboys are fanboys just because.

@AlleyCatJazz 11 лет назад

Cruis'n Exotica is awesome, and I think it DOES stereotype Atarctica. You should review it, also for the N64. It has many more cars

@razo100 11 лет назад

I like how ASS is driving through what looks like a colon at 4.01! :)

@MrDust2dust 11 лет назад

I liked the N64 controller, when the thumb stick wasn't worn out, that is. :)

@topperDL 11 лет назад

we need more n64 games and another themed week :3

@heardofrvb 11 лет назад

Don't worry Mark. You can race in Antarctica in Exotica.

@NIProductionsLLC 11 лет назад

Lets hear it for Applied Science Saturdays!!!

@kendo12 11 лет назад

Dude, thats a pretty dope doctors office

@ThatHippyDuck 8 лет назад

best reviews right here. no bullshit.

@banj0smah0mie 11 лет назад

In Australia the N64 was actually named the Nintendo Dropbear.

@Brumbazzen 11 лет назад

The reason I bought a N64 was not Mario or Zelda...it was Cruis'n World and Mystical Ninja Goemon 2 :)

@Bring380GT 11 лет назад

Just noticed that the gun metal car looks like a 1st gen Mitsubishi 3000GTO :D

@aidexhuck1278 11 лет назад

agreeing with your agreement x3 the only modern game I like is Team Fortress 2...and sometimes I wish mark would review Team Fortress 2 just to see how weird he gets with a already weird game...come his reviews are serious but has that childhood wonderment that makes me laugh...like hard to explain but its awesome how he reviews various games.

@Sc0pee 11 лет назад

Mark, you should definitely review Ridge Racer 64 which is one of the best Ridge Racers ever made!

@EvtheNev 11 лет назад

Couldn't agree anymore. Sometimes I wonder to myself why I don't just sell all my current gen consoles & games and spend it all on the games I loved growing up! Even typing that tempt's me! There are no memorable games these day's, just sequel's upon sequel's churned out to see who makes the most money.
