Mmm so beautiful
I checked the NWR main page for this and didn't see it so <3
Edit: I would be willing to give it the benefit of the doubt of maybe looking better when it's released but it's release date of Nov. 2007 makes me believe this is a near finished product X_X.

Anyone who buys this lovely POS deserves a horrible eye plucking from their head and have salt and lemon juice dripping in the newly emptied socket.
Midway also needs to have their license to publish on Nintendo's machines revoked until they stop using the Wii as a training device for new recruits.

Either way it must have taken a LOT of work to make a game that ugly.

And wow, the game really is only an insignificant upgrade in visuals. Now I'm really torn on it. I might rent it.
Post by: UltimatePartyBear on August 24, 2007, 05:22:35 AM
Still, Cruisin' Wii has the worst jaggies I've seen in years. I can't believe they'd release those shots. The odd resolution makes me wonder if someone badly enlarged them.

I looked up those same pictures before posting to make sure my memory wasn't wrong. There are some obvious differences in the interface alone that make it easy to tell them apart, even if you don't agree that the N64 version is a lot uglier.

Well I did enjoy Cruisn USA, then again that is thinking back to a time where we were happy to get any game for N64.

Disclaimer: Shecky played enough Crusi'n to unlock all of the cars, jeep, busses, police cars.... I remember it getting repetitive, the controls being on par with pole position, and generally several other reasons I should hate it.
Maybe thatguy liked it because he never finishes games?

Cruis'n World was awesome, but based on the effort they've put into the graphics, there's no reason to expect any more effort in the gameplay area.

I played Cruis'n USA quite a bit. I liked the sirens. I played Cruis'n World because I liked to flip over other cars. I played USA more than World, but let's be honest, when USA came out, how much else was on the 64?
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on August 24, 2007, 06:52:52 PM
But the pixelation we see is actually a poorly transfered video frame cap. They effectively have a 320x240 screen blown up to 2x the size with standard pixel multiplication.

An early product that is supposed to come out in November, I don't see it improving much at all. Like others have said though, when it compares to a PS1 game in visual quality you have problems.

Seriously, though. Why do I see pixels in that image? In photoshop, I was able to shrink it down to 50% size, then stretch it back out, and it looked almost exactly the same. Maybe these are just really small screenshots that were literally blown out of proportion?

Well the first review went up from games radar and it got a 2/10 here was their pros and cons
Pros:
* Um... hm...
* Well, there's...
* Ah, just forget it
Cons:
* Short, sloppy, glitchy play
* Looks about a decade old
* Rough loading times

BLOODWORTH: can you tell the difference?
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/28956.html
PARANOiA SUPER: i forget, who's developing the new one?
BLOODWORTH: do you mean who ripped the fast and the furious references out of the arcade game?
PARANOiA SUPER: well listen here
BLOODWORTH: (at least that's what I hear)
PARANOiA SUPER: the guy that directed it at midway left for his own video game company
PARANOiA SUPER: where he basically rehashed the exact same games anyway
PARANOiA SUPER: like the fast and the furious arcade game
PARANOiA SUPER: and it looks like the same engine even
PARANOiA SUPER: and maybe some of the same textures?
PARANOiA SUPER: i smell a copypasta
BLOODWORTH: ha ha
PARANOiA SUPER: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZUCrn42XxI
PARANOiA SUPER: lol
PARANOiA SUPER: i think it's the same game
PARANOiA SUPER: what happened here
BLOODWORTH: lol
PARANOiA SUPER: did nintendo just like "hey jarvis, want 20 bux"
PARANOiA SUPER: lol it's the same text, same people digitized
BLOODWORTH: well it's obviously all midway's fault
BLOODWORTH: same levels
BLOODWORTH: RACE WARS
PARANOiA SUPER: LOL SAME LEVELS
PARANOiA SUPER: ahahahah
PARANOiA SUPER: as video game media nerds, we should make it clear what this is
BLOODWORTH: this is freaking brilliant
BLOODWORTH: even better is that it looks better in the arcade
BLOODWORTH: even from that crappy video you can tell
PARANOiA SUPER: hahaha. it really brings back those cruisn usa memories then
BLOODWORTH: it has to be based off the cruisn games though
BLOODWORTH: they are too similar
PARANOiA SUPER: yeah i told you
PARANOiA SUPER: it's a rehash
PARANOiA SUPER: it even has the same pedal pumping two wheel shit
PARANOiA SUPER: it's the exact same game, except with more reflective surfaces
PARANOiA SUPER: i'm glad you brought this to my attention
PARANOiA SUPER: i wouldn't have gone out of my way to make fun of cruis'n before now

It is stupid fun and is pure cruis'n. I would never go as far to say it deserved great scores though, at the very BEST maybe a 5/10, but 3/10 like it has been getting has been fair.
